Genesis 8 (JUM)

1Aŋ Jooŋ Noo batta agee kä wiirgon ke wakkä luum jïñe, ke ḍigärgä muure yaaka ke ike kuun jï ye, aŋ tuccin jommu ŋommañ wic aŋ piik wüükïn ïñï.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.

2Aŋ piik waŋgen yaaka yiiŋete ye, yoken üüljï ke kälkä polloŋ jïñe cäänna, aŋ ñaal yore yuutkene kä mäṇṇä polloŋ jï.The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

3Aŋ piik ḍuukin ïñï kä ḍeewaŋ kä ḍeewaŋ ŋommañ wic nïïnkä 150 ti.The waters receded steadily from the earth, and after 150 days the waters had gone down.

4Aŋ paan ŋaṭükel ti, nïïnnä caay witken kä ŋaṭükel ti, kuun cääjjin waadgä pämkä yaaka battä me ogo Araraat ye witin.On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

5Aŋ piik ïïñjïdï kä wüükïn ïñï aŋŋa paan caay ti, aŋ nïïnnä ïïjjïn ti yen paan caay pämkä witken üükïn woo.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.

6Aŋ wääna nïïnkä caykä kä ŋan ḍakkene ye, Noo kääl ṭuule yaana naŋŋe kuun gunne ti ye, kupkene.After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark

7Aŋ tuccin gaaggaak. Aŋ kaaccä woo aŋ päydin ke piik ïwene ŋommañ wic.and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.

8Aŋ tuccin gülküte ogo ato piik ookce naana ḍewcono ïñï ŋommañ wic ye.Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.

9Aŋ gülküte batta a käñon nänṭ'a koojjee ïñï ye, aŋ ḍukcin Noo ti kuun jï, nääŋka ŋommañ wiñe muure mor agee kä küümon kä piik ye. Aŋ läjgi Noo ïṇte aŋ müŋŋe aŋ ḍuukke ike ti kuun jï.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.

10Aŋ kiiññä ŋuca nïïnkä kä ŋaṭükel, aŋ gülküte ŋocce tucce woo.Noah waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.

11Aŋ gülküte ḍuukin ike ti biigin ti aŋŋi, i ädit jaan yaana battä me ogo jeytüün ye gitke garrä tüke ti, aŋ ŋïjï Noo piik ḍewcin ïñï ŋommañ wic.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.

12Aŋ kiiññä nïïnkä kä ŋaṭükel yakkalaŋ ŋuca aŋ gülküte tucce, aŋ gülküte batta a ḍüükïdïnï ŋäjäk ike ti.And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.

13Aŋ wääna Noo yuunge wäättene kä 601 ye, ïïjjïn ti nïïnnä yen yun kïcconḍe ti, piik ïwnä ŋommañ wic. Aŋ Noo kuun wiñe kuppe woo aŋ däämjin aŋ ŋommañ wiñe yooṭṭe a ïwon.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.

14Aŋ paan yew ti, nïïnnä caykä kä yew witken kä ŋaṭükel ti, ŋommañ wiñe ïwnä muure.By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.

15Aŋ Jooŋ Noo kiinne ogo,Then God said to Noah,

16“Kääjä woo kuun jï ikee ke ïïŋü ke merkä yüükü ke määngä yeeken.“Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.

17Ke wakkä muure yaaka ke ïkï a üdïn ye, ḍïïrgä ke ḍigärgä, ke wakkä luum jïñe äbä woo. Aŋ dalä gidok ŋommañ wic aŋ pïr aŋ ḍirä.”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.”

18Aŋ Noo kääjin woo kuun jï ke merkä yeeke ke iiŋe ke määngä merkä yeeke.So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.

19Ke wakkä luum jïñe ke ḍigärgä ke wakkä yaaka muulu ïñï ŋommañ wic ye, ke ḍïïrgä muure, kääjin woo kuun jï daa kä biilken.Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird—everything that moves upon the earth—came out of the ark, kind by kind.

20Aŋ Pïṭo bätki Noo tambal aŋ kuññu ḍigärgä ti ke ḍïïrgä ti muure yaaka ladaŋ a waak ïïllä wäämmä yok ye ti.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.

21Aŋ Pïṭo ŋääccä pin yaana gïmgede ye, aŋ jaajjin jone ti ogo, “Ŋommañ wiñe batta ŋuca bi tuumu kä nääŋkä mänbaan, aŋ ike a nääŋkä yaackä ken ḍooje jone ti kä ḍine tinä, aŋ wakkä yaaka a üdïn ye, batta ŋuca bi näga ḍugin bata wääna näŋŋä daa kä ḍugin ye.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.

22Aŋ naana mor ŋommañ bilti ye, i pïïṇṇä ke errä, aŋ lüüy ke carrä, aŋ yiiwuk ke yiluk, aŋ äŋ jïñe ke wïïrïn jïñe, batta bi yüütï ïñï.”As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.”
