Genesis 8

1 God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.

A Bog se opomenu Noja i svijeh zvijeri i sve stoke što bjehu s njim u kovèegu; i posla Bog vjetar na zemlju da uzbije vodu.

2 The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

I zatvoriše se izvori bezdanu i ustave nebeske, i dažd s neba prestade.

3 The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters receded.

I stade voda opadati na zemlji, i jednako opadaše poslije sto i pedeset dana;

4 The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.

Te se ustavi kovèeg sedmoga mjeseca dana sedamnaestoga na planini Araratu.

5 The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible.

I voda opadaše sve veæma do desetoga mjeseca; i prvoga dana desetoga mjeseca pokazaše se vrhovi od brda.

6 At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,

A poslije èetrdeset dana otvori Noje prozor na kovèegu, koji bješe naèinio;

7 and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.

I ispusti gavrana, koji jednako odlijetaše i dolijetaše dokle ne presahnu voda na zemlji.

8 He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,

Pa pusti i golubicu da bi vidio je li opala voda sa zemlje.

9 but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned into the ship to him, for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.

A golubica ne našavši gdje bi stala nogom svojom vrati se k njemu u kovèeg, jer još bješe voda po svoj zemlji; i Noje pruživši ruku uhvati je i uze k sebi u kovèeg.

10 He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.

I poèeka još sedam dana, pa opet ispusti golubicu iz kovèega.

11 The dove came back to him at evening and, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.

I pred veèe vrati se k njemu golubica, i gle, u kljunu joj list maslinov, koji bješe otkinula; tako pozna Noje da je opala voda sa zemlje.

12 He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.

Ali poèeka još sedam dana, pa opet ispusti golubicu, a ona mu se više ne vrati.

13 In the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dry.

Šest stotina prve godine vijeka Nojeva prvi dan prvoga mjeseca usahnu voda na zemlji; i Noje otkri krov na kovèegu, i ugleda zemlju suhu.

14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

A drugoga mjeseca dvadeset sedmoga dana bješe sva zemlja suha.

15 God spoke to Noah, saying,

Tada reèe Bog Noju govoreæi:

16 “Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.

Izidi iz kovèega ti i žena tvoja i sinovi tvoji i žene sinova tvojih s tobom;

17 Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.”

Sve zvijeri što su s tobom od svakoga tijela, ptice i stoku i što god gamiže po zemlji, izvedi sa sobom, neka se raziðu po zemlji, i neka se plode i množe na zemlji.

18 Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.

I izide Noje i sinovi njegovi i žena njegova i žene sinova njegovijeh s njim.

19 Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.

Sve zvijeri, sve sitne životinje, sve ptice i sve što se mièe po zemlji po svojim vrstama izidoše iz kovèega.

20 Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

I naèini Noje žrtvenik Gospodu, i uze od svake èiste stoke i od svijeh ptica èistijeh, i prinese na žrtveniku žrtve paljenice.

21 The LORD smelled the pleasant aroma. The LORD said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, as I have done.

I Gospod omirisa miris ugodni, i reèe u srcu svojem: neæu više kleti zemlje s ljudi, što je misao srca èovjeèijega zla od malena; niti æu više ubijati svega što živi, kao što uèinih.

22 While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”

Otsele dokle bude zemlje, neæe nestajati sjetve ni žetve, studeni ni vruæine, ljeta ni zime, dana ni noæi.
