Genesis 8 (EKA)

1Owo Esowo kehm buumu Noa, a enyam ekulugbe bi woomo a ne go egbang, a atohkondi atohkondi. Á kehm tumu elfeb tv go njini, nnyel alahb kehm kehme elrede.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.

2Abˈbehl alahb nya jolo go atahng ndi, a abuk alahb nya ya no go elbung sˈsahd, elahb tob rahke elnake.The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

3Owo alahb ma yele bulu njini kehm kehme elrede, eji ma kang nfung atahl asehma a nfung ewubu alahb ebsahb rˈrede.The waters receded steadily from the earth, and after 150 days the waters had gone down.

4Go elku a nfung ebal nyi nnyahng esehma, egbang kehm ba kuumu go agburu awong nya Ararad.On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

5Alahb soro na asi jo rede tete rehng nnyahng ewubu, go ngbokambang efung bi nnyahng ewubu aro awong kehme ellohngo.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.

6Eji ma kang nfung atahl abal, Noa kehm lennge ewindu go egbang bi a limi no,After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark

7kehm tumu nyakenyake mbare emel ebruk bi jo fonngo yannge na yannge tete alahb ka go ndi kpee.and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.

8Á kehm tumu ebbehl re á song kpur joare alahb ebka mal go ndi.Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.

9Jol ebbehl belem na edi ji á bahke ma kuumu, tibre alahb bulu ndi kpee, owo ebbehl kehm feere goji Noa egbang, Noa kehm tanne ebo ebe, ana ebbehl kuum-e go ebo á feere a ne kak go egbang.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.

10Kpe kang kan nfung esehma, á kehm kpe yehke ebbehl tum.Noah waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.

11Eji ebbehl feere no ba ngare elgung, á ko elyane oliv ni mbir mbir go ege a nnyo, ba a ni. Noa kehm kahne re alahb ebsahb rˈrede go ndi.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.

12Eji ma kpe kang nfung esehma yehko, á kpe tum ebbehl, wo esennge jia ebbehl kpeem feere goji Noa.And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.

13Go ngbokambang efung bi ngbokambang a nnyahng, eji Noa ma kang nnya atahltahl, atahl awubu a elya anehng, ngare nyia alahb ebka go ndi, owo Noa kehm laade elkong egbang kehm seenge nyehn re ndi ebwum.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.

14Go eltahl a nfung esehma go etoono nnyahng ndi gohro wum kpee.By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.

15Owo Esowo kehm bungu tong Noa re,Then God said to Noah,

16<<Lohng go egbang, wo a nkal ewa, a abon eba, go akal abon eba.“Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.

17Yehke elkohn ejum ajehng ajehng go egbang ji li go elkpin, nrur, enyam, a nsol kpee nyi kpo tohng ala go ndi, eji bo lˈjel sahb rˈrur go njini.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.”

18Owo Noa kehm lohngo go egbang, a nkal ewe, a abon ebe, go akal abon ebe.So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.

19Enyam kpee, a nsol kpee nyi kpo tohng ala go ndi, a nruk kpee, go ejum ajehng ajehng ji kpo jen go ndi, bo kehm jo lohng go egbang nkohnakohn.Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird—everything that moves upon the earth—came out of the ark, kind by kind.

20Owo Noa kehm limi egudu njom alimi ka Jehova. Go ellong enyam, a nruk kpee nyi jolo saang ka Esowo, Noa yehke nyandiki, ko lim njom nyi eljahme fi ka Jehova, egudu njom jio.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.

21Jehova njom nyio kehme vohko esvsv eleenge, á kehm bungu go ege eltim re, <<N nehm kpe tiki su ndi tib esi ji nne, jol eji li li re ntir anyehng anyehng nyi nne go ge eltim tiki li ebi ntir, bomo ese ese. N nehm kpe tiki rannge nsol nyi li go elkpin kpee ana m ma lim a.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<<Ana ndi tik kpe li, ngare elbahme a ngare elkpake, ngare alohk a ngare ewannge, elum a nnale, afung, a atv.>>As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.”
