Genesis 8 (ASG)

1Ama Ka̱shile ka ciɓai n Nufu nu nnama m kpaꞋa nu n kakamba aza a na i punu a kpantsu dem. Ɗa u suki wunla̱i a aduniyan, ɗa mini ma me jebei.But God remembered Noah and all the animals and livestock that were with him in the ark. And God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters began to subside.

2Ubuta̱ u na wi a̱ kuwa̱ mini dem n atusu a gaɗi dem ɗa a̱ biniki, ɗa mini ma̱ ka̱sukpa̱i kuɗa̱kpa̱ a iɗika.The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

3Ɗa mini ma̱ gita̱i ku kukpa sawu, ana ma yawai ayin amangatawun n amangerenkupa (150) ɗa me jebei gbende,The waters receded steadily from the earth, and after 150 days the waters had gone down.

4a kanna ka kupa n e cindere o wotoi u cindere, ɗa kpantsu ka ku cipa̱i a kusan ku Arara.On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

5Ɗa mini ma ma lyaꞋi kelime n kujebe ali a kubana o wotoi u kupa. A kanna ka iyain o wotoi u nanlo wa ɗa gaɗi vu nsasan va vu gita̱i kuta̱ e keteshe.And the waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.

6Ana ayin amangere a yaꞋin ɗa Nufu u ɓa̱yuwa̱i katusu ka na u yaꞋin a kpantsu ka,After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark

7ɗa u ka̱sukpa̱i kagawun. Ɗa kagawun ka̱ ka̱na̱i ciɗinkpi n u bonoi ali ayin a na mini mo kotsoi a iɗika.and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.

8Megeshe kenu ɗa Nufu u doku ɗa u ka̱sukpa̱i moɗoi mo kondo ko mini me ɗekpe ta̱ a iɗika.Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.

9Ama moɗoi ma ma̱ ciya̱ ubuta̱ u na u kuyikpa̱ ba, adama a na mini ma buwa ta̱ a̱ ubuta̱ dem a iɗika; ɗa mo bonoi a kpantsu a̱ ubuta̱ u Nufu. Wu uta̱ka̱i kukiye ku ni ɗa u ka̱na̱i maꞋa ɗa u bonokoi maꞋa a kpantsu.But the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, because the waters were still covering the surface of all the earth. So he reached out his hand and brought her back inside the ark.

10U doku u vanai ali ayin e cindere ɗa u suki moɗoi mu uta̱ kpamu pulai.Noah waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.

11Ana moɗoi ma mo bonoi wa̱ ni n kulivi, ɗa u kasai ka̱vuku ka̱ ta̱ku ka maɗanga ma̱ ma̱biri a̱ una̱ u ni! Ɗa Nufu u yevei a na mini ma kukpa ta̱ ka̱u punu a aduniyan a.And behold, the dove returned to him in the evening with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her beak. So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.

12U doku u vanai ali ayin e cindere ɗa u doki u suki moɗoi ma kpamu, ama u nampa mo doku mo bono wa̱ ni kpamu ba.And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.

13A kanna ka iyain, n wotoi u iyain, ana Nufu u yawai a̱ya̱ amangatawa̱nta̱li n ke te (601), ɗa mini ma lazai a iɗika. Ɗa u talukpai kukpa̱Ꞌa̱ ku kpantsu ka. Ɗa we enei iɗika ya e kuɗekpe.In Noah’s six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters had dried up from the earth. So Noah removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.

14A kanna ka kamanga n e cindere (27) n wotoi u ire, ɗa iɗika ya i ɗekpei dem.By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.

15Ɗa Ka̱shile ka danai Nufu,Then God said to Noah,

16<<Uta̱ punu a kpantsu ka, avu n vuka vu nu, m muku n nu n a̱ma̱ci e le.“Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.

17Uta̱ka̱ ili i wuma dem, i na yi punu a kpantsu ka: nnu, nnama, n ili i na yi o kurono a̱tsuma̱ a iɗika dem. Adama a na a shatangu aduniyan, ka̱ta̱ a yimkpa kpamu.>>Bring out all the living creatures that are with you—birds, livestock, and everything that crawls upon the ground—so that they can spread out over the earth and be fruitful and multiply upon it.”

18Ɗa Nufu wu uta̱i, koɓolo m muku n ni, n vuka vi ni, n ejene a̱ ni.So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.

19Nnama gbende n ili i wuma i na yi o kurono a̱tsuma̱ a iɗika, koɓolo nu nnu dem a̱ uta̱i a kpantsu ka o ku tononoi, yaba dem n icuꞋu i ni.Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird—everything that moves upon the earth—came out of the ark, kind by kind.

20Ɗa Nufu u shikpa̱i katalikalyuka adama a Vuzavaguɗu. Ɗa u la̱nsa̱i nnama n kutakuma n yoku nu nnu n kutakuma kpamu. Ɗa u lyukai alyuka o kusongu a̱ ubuta̱ wa.Then Noah built an altar to the LORD. And taking from every kind of clean animal and clean bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar.

21Ana Vuzavaguɗu u tsumgbai ma̱gula̱ni ma singai ma alyuka ma, ɗa u danai n ka̱ɗu ka̱ ni, <<Mi o kudoku kuyaꞋanka iɗika una̱wuya adama a vuma ba, adama a na kusheshe ku ka̱ɗu ku vuma ki ta̱ tukpa n kawuya ali n ayin a na a̱yi biꞋi kenu. Mi o kudoku kuna ili i wuma ra̱ka̱ tsu na n yaꞋin ɗe ba.When the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, He said in His heart, “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth. And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done.

22<<Aduniyan a buwa baci de lo n wuma, a ayin a̱ vica̱Ꞌa̱ n ayin a vikyaꞋa, ayin a̱ usuɗukpi n ayin a̱ uta̱ni, ayin a kawun n ayin a kpandari, kanna n kayin o kukotso ba.>>As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.”
