Genesis 8 (MFO)

1M'ogbe nwuma kw'iwa asi akk'oyagbin acha, wa Ibinọkpaabyi Noa kọraam. Wa nden biphyir s'otzer ọmaana s'ẹtzam sa nwobh k'ọkpaar ẹtzaanga ttara Noa, kobiro ọraama. Ọn-ọtzọhm ọphapha ogwuma k'ọyagbin, kw'osi asi awọhri.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.

2Akhekhaho p'irerek akka, bẹ akk'amma p'asi p'ọrọngkpakpa abira akpa, ẹrọng ẹkk'ẹkwọbha otze-tzebh k'ọyagbin.The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

3Asi achina ororo awọhri k'ọyagbin. Okwu ottonga iwu arọbh azenamfa obhiri jobh, asi akk'an-awọhri.The waters receded steadily from the earth, and after 150 days the waters had gone down.

4Ottong iwu chi obhiri ifa, s'aphe azenamfa, ọkpaar ọtza ottima ka mgbegbeho s'Ararat.On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

5Asi achina ororo awọhri maa opyiri echedenwu ch'aphe jobh, mgbegbeho ngọhkha.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.

6Mada iwu arọbha afa ikk'ikwọbha, Noa okwunga ọphapha-mma kw'ọkpaar kw'ọkk'ọsa.After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark

7Ọtzọhm ẹtzọrikhukhu, ch'ekhuri echina ororo ẹkpa nnam, matzẹmaa opyiri k'ogbe kw'asi akk'akka k'ọyagbin.and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.

8Obiro ọtzọhm igbegbaa, ifha oronga idikha asi akk'akka k'irerek.Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.

9Yina, wa igbegbaa ibe s'ibe mmo kire, okhuri da asi atzima awobh k'irerek. Sẹ ikhuna itzor Noa k'ọkpaar. Noa onemi ọbọhk ọbọkha sẹ, okhe k'ọkpaar.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.

10Noa owobha iwu izenamfa ọdọdọk, obiro ọtzọhm igbegbaa nnuma iyin k'ọkpaar.Noah waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.

11Mada igbegbaa ikhun itzor-ẹ k'ẹchọhkha, itzima ikwongitzọhng s'oliv s'idẹkh-ọdẹkhi k'ẹmma. Mẹ wọ, Noa oronga bi, asi akk'awọhri k'ọyagbin.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.

12Owobha iwu izenamfa idọdọk, obiro ọtzọhm igbegbaa. Yina, m'ogbe nwa sẹ kikhun.And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.

13K'echedenwu ch'ophe kw'ocheden, ch'esi Noa cho ẹnọhna obhiri arọbh jobh obhiri wani, asi akk'akka k'ọyagbin. Noa ogbe ẹpaho ch'ọkpaar, okkeri, ore bi, irerek ikk'ittẹwọr igwu.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.

14K'iwu ẹrọbh obhiri izenamfa s'ophe kw'ottong afa, irerek ikk'in-igwa biphyir.By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.

15Mẹ wọ osi, Ibinọkpaabyi on-oben Noa bi,Then God said to Noah,

16“Tzima kwanọng kwọ, ọmaana va pọ, ọmaana panọng pa va pọ, bọng ayin k'iyaan.“Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.

17Kọ biri tzima ọttọhk kpenamkpen f'orukhi akpen k'adem-k'adem, f'owobh ttar-ọ, ọnọhn, ọmaana nden ttara ekpo py'ereng k'irerek, ifha py'ẹhaabh k'irerek, py'ebire ẹ́maan ayok, ébire ẹ́haabh-ọhaabh k'obhik.”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.”

18Mẹ wọ, Noa oyin k'iyaan ọmaana va pẹ p'ijinọng, ọmaana kwanọng kwẹ, ttara panọng pa va pẹ.So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.

19Nden biphyir, ọmaana ekpo biphyir py'ereng k'irerek, ọmaana ọnọhn biphyir, ttara ọttọhk kpenamkpen f'oreng k'irerek oyin k'ọkpaar nwa, k'adem pabẹ.Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird—everything that moves upon the earth—came out of the ark, kind by kind.

20Mẹ wọ osi, Noa osi ijafọhnibe ọnang Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi, ọtzọkha etzen dani-dani k'adem pa nden sa mbaan k'ẹjafọhni, ọmaana ọnọhn f'ọbaan k'ẹjafọhni, otzima osi ẹjafọhni ch'ẹnanga ẹkwọmichẹ m'ijafọhnibe nna.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.

21Ọvaar Ibinọkpaabyi ọbhaang eruk damandaam ch'ẹja nda, on-oben k'ettem chẹ bi, “Kaam ikhina ọyagbin ẹmma dọk kińnang, okhuri ọnọngẹya, kaambi ode bi, ettem ch'ọnọngẹya en-efu ttara itzama ttẹwọr k'ẹvava. Yina rang ọdọk kwa kaam ndimi ekpo py'erukhi akpen biphyir, macha ndimi m'ogbe nwa.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.

22Ttẹwọr madẹdẹn maa apyiri k'okpong kw'ọyagbin, ogbe kw'ekpo ọyayaabha, ọmaana ogbe kw'ipha, ogbe kw'etzetzebhi ttara iyoma, ogbe kw'ẹya ttara erungi, idik nna biphyir okpong kíkhaama, íchina ororo matzẹmaa ogbe ode.”As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.”
