Genesis 8 (ZAJP)

1Ila Mulungu kamgelegeza Nuhu na wang'onyo wose wa kumuhulo na wofugigwa waja wakalile hamoja na heyo muna isafina. Mulungu kadigala beho muisi yose, na igamazi gasonga kuhunguka.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.

2Nzokwe za mazi zili muisi na imizonzo ya mazi ya kuulanga vihindigwa, na mvula ileka kutoa.The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

3Vigabitile mazua mia na malongo matano mazi gakala gahunguka lugaluga muisi,The waters receded steadily from the earth, and after 150 days the waters had gone down.

4na mdizua da longo dimwe na saba da mulenge wa saba isafina ima hachana ya imigongo ya Alalati.On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

5Igamazi gahunguka, na mdizua da ichanduso da umulenge wa longo dimwe, sota za imigongo zoneka.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.

6Vigeshile mazua malongo mane Nuhu kadivugula idizonzo diyatendile muisafinaAfter forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark

7na kumulava hanze bondwa, nayo habwelile, ila kaguluka kuno na kuno mbaka igamazi viganyalile.and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.

8Abaho Nuhu kamulava hanze hua yalole kamba igamazi gahungula muisi.Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.

9Ila ija ihua hapatile hanhu ha kwima kwavija kukala na mazi muisi yose, avo kabwela ha Nuhu muisafina. Nuhu kaugolosa mkono wake kamsola ija ihua na kum'bweza kumwake muisafina.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.

10Kabeta mbaka mazua saba gayagwe, abaho kamulava ihua kabili.Noah waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.

11Ija ihua viyabweleganye mkipigiti cha ichungulo, mmulomo wake kakala na jani bisi da mzaituni, avo Nuhu kavitanga kamba mazi gahunguka muisi.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.

12Abaho kabeta mazua saba gayagwe, kamulava hanze ija ihua. Kipigiti kino habwelile kabili kumwake.And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.

13Nuhu viyakalile na milao mia sita na umwe, mdizua da mwanduso da umulenge wa mwanduso, igamazi ganyala. Nuhu kakisegeza ikigubiko cha isafina, kasungulila, na kona kamba isi ikala inyalile.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.

14Vuuvikile mulenge wa ikabili na mazua malongo mabili na saba, isi ikala inyalile kabisa.By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.

15Abaho Mulungu kamulongela Nuhu,Then God said to Noah,

16“Lawa hanze ya isafina, gweye na mtwanzi wako, na wanago na watwanzi zao.“Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.

17Walave hanze kila kinhu kilumbigwe kili na ugima kili hamoja na gweye, ndege, wang'onyo, na kila kinhu kilumbigwe kitembela muisi giladi wenele muisi na kulela na kongezeka.”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.”

18Avo Nuhu kalawa muisafina hamoja na mtwanzi wake, na wanage, na watwanzi zao.So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.

19Wang'onyo wose, kila kinhu kilumbigwe kitembela muisi, na ndege wose walawa muisafina, kulingana na namna zao.Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird—everything that moves upon the earth—came out of the ark, kind by kind.

20Nuhu kamzengela MNDEWA kilingo cha kulavila nhosa. Kamsola mng'onyo imwe na ndege imwe kulawa ha wang'onyo na ndege wa namna zose walumbile kulavigwa nhosa, kawalava nhosa mkuwasoma na moto hana ikilingo cha kulavila nhosa.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.

21Mnung'ho wa inhosa umnogela MNDEWA, na heyo kailongela mwenyego mmoyo wake, “Siidukumiza isi kabili sama ya gaja gawatendile wanhu, hata kamba ngelegeza zao zikala zihile songela haudodo wao. Na sivibananga kabili vinhu vose vilumbigwe vili na ugima kamba vinitendile.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.

22Milao yose isi vondaikale, vipigiti vino haviziga, kipigiti cha kuhanda na kuhuna, kipigiti cha kihuhe na keakea, kipigiti cha zua na mvula, na kipigiti cha imisi na ikilo.”As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.”
