Genesis 8 (GAX)

1Waaqi ammoo Nohi, hori'ii fi bineensota isa woliin hoboloo guddittii keessa jiranu mara qaabate; inni qilleensa lafa irratti buuse; Bisaanille gad dhidhatuu jalqabe.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.

2Burqituun golba qile'eetii fi balbalti gubba'aalle cufante; bokkeenni gubba'aalle caamee,The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

3bisaan laana laana gad dhidhatuu jalqabe. Guyyaa dhibbaa fi shantamaan duuba lafa irraa dhidhate.The waters receded steadily from the earth, and after 150 days the waters had gone down.

4Hoboloon guddittiin sun ji'a torbeesso'oo keessa, guyyaa kudhanii torbeesso'oo, gaara Araaraatii gubbaa dhuttee teette.On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

5Bisaan haga ji'a kudhaneesso'oo dhidhataatuma deeme; ji'a kudhaneesso'oo keessa guyyaa qaraa, qacceen gaarotaa mudhatte.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.

6Guyyaa afurtamaan duuba Nohi qowa hobolo'otti baaseeru san banee,After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark

7harraaqessa erge; harraaqessi sun haga bisaan lafa irraa gogutti asii fi achi ka'aa ture.and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.

8Achiin duuba Nohi bisaan lafa irraa akka gad dhidhate ilaaliisaaf saphaliisa erge.Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.

9Ammoo bisaan ammalle lafa duudii irra waan jiruuf, addee itti tee'u dhabee, gara hoboloo guddittii sanii deebi'ee gara isaa dhufe; inni harka ifii gad baasee qabee, hoboloo guddittii sanitti ol seensise.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.

10Guyyaa torba tureen duuba, ammalle saphaliisa hoboloo guddittii keessaa erge.Noah waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.

11Saphaliisi sun kichuu baala ejersaa afaan ifiititti qabatee, galgaluma san deebi'ee gara isaa dhufe. Akka kanaan Nohi akka bisaan lafa irraa gad dhidhateeru beeke.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.

12Achiin duuba Nohi guyyaa torba dhibii turee, saphaliisa erge; saphaliisi eega san gara isaa hin deebine.And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.

13Nohi dhalatee woggaa dhibba jaa fi tokkeesso'otti, ji'a tokkeesso'oo keessa, guyyaa tokkeesso'oo, bisaan lafa irraa goge; Nohille heellichoo Hoboloo gudditti'ii irraa kaasee, ilaale; irri lafaalle akka gogeeru dhagge.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.

14Ji'a lammeesso'oo keessa, guyyaa diddamii torbeesso'ootitti, latti guutumatti godde.By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.

15Achiin duuba Waaqi, Nohiin,Then God said to Noah,

16«Niitii teeti, ijoollee teetii fi niitii ijoollee teetii woliin hoboloo keessaa bayi.“Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.

17Dadi lubbuu qabanu ka si woliin jiranu martinuu sinbirrooti, horiin, bineensoti, worri lafa irra lowanu martinuu, lafa irratti horanee akka heddatanu, si woliin akka bayanu godhi» jedhe.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.”

18Maarre Nohi ijoollee ifii, niitii ifiitii fi niitii ijoollee ifii woliin gad baye.So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.

19Horiin marti, bineensoti marti, sinbirrooti marti, worri lafa irra lowanu marti, akkuma gosa gosa isaaniititti hoboloo guddittii san keessaa gad bayane.Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird—everything that moves upon the earth—came out of the ark, kind by kind.

20Nohi addee ciinca'aa Mootii Waan Maraatiif ijaare; horii qulqulluu mara keessaa, sinbirroota qulqulluu mara keessaa addee ciinca'aa san irratti ciincaa dhikeesse.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.

21Fooleen ciinca'aa sun Mootii Waan Maraa yennaa gammachiitte, Mootiin Waan Maraa gadhaa ifii keessatti, «Ani sababa namaatiif deebi'ee lafa hin abaaru; yaadi isaanii ijoollumma'aanuu hamaa akka te'e ani waan beekuuf, akka amma godhe kana, waan lubbuu qabu lafa irraa ijjumaa deebi'ee hin balleessu.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«Haga latti tun jirtutti facaasu'uu fi haamuun, qabbanaa fi o'i, bonaa fi ganni, guyya'aa fi halkan, hin dhaabbatanu» jedhe.As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.”
