Oo Ilaah wuxuu xusuustay Nuux, iyo wixii noolaa, iyo xoolihii doonnidii kula jiray isagii oo dhan; oo Ilaah dabayl buu dhulka dul mariyey, biyihiina way dhinmeen; ilihii moolka iyo dariishadihii samaduna way awdmeen; roobkii samadana waa la joojiyey; biyihiina had iyo goorba dhulkay ka noqonayeen, oo boqol iyo konton maalmood dabadood ayaa biyihii dhinmeen. Oo bishii toddobaad, maalinteedii toddoba iyo tobnaad, ayay doonnidii ku fadhiisatay buuraha Araarad. Biyihiina way sii dhinmayeen ilaa bishii tobnaad. Bishii tobnaad, maalinteedii kowaad, ayaa buuraha dushoodii la arkay. Waxaana dhacday in afartan maalmood dabadood Nuux furay dariishaddii doonnidii uu sameeyey; oo wuxuu dibadda u diray tuke, hor iyo dib buuna u duulayay, ilaa intay biyihii ka engegeen dhulka dushiisa. Dabadeedna wuxuu diray qoolley si uu u ogaado bal in biyihii dhulka dushiisa ka yaraadeen iyo in kale; laakiin qoolleydii meel ay cagta dhigto ayay weyday, kolkaasay Nuux xaggiisii ku soo noqotay iyo xaggii doonnidii, maxaa yeelay, biyihii baa dhulka oo dhan dul joogay; kolkaasuu gacanta dibadda u bixiyey, oo soo qabtay iyadii, oo soo geliyey doonnidii. 10 Kolkaasuu toddoba maalmood oo kale sugay; markaasuu mar kale qoolleydii doonnidii ka diray; 11 qoolleydiina waxay isagii ku soo noqotay fiidkii; oo afkana waxay ku wadatay caleen saytuun oo qoyan; kolkaasuu Nuux ogaaday in biyihii dhulka ka yaraadeen. 12 Kolkaasuu toddoba maalmood oo kale sugay; dabadeedna qoolleydii buu diray; iyadiina mar dambe kuma ay soo noqon. 13 Oo waxaana dhacday sannaddii lix boqol iyo kowaad, bishii kowaad, maalinteedii kowaad, inay biyihii dhulka ka engegeen: Nuuxna daboolkii buu doonnidii ka qaaday, wuuna fiiriyey, oo bal eeg, dhulka dushiisu way engegnayd. 14 Oo bishii labaad, maalinteedii toddoba iyo labaatanaad, ayaa dhulka engegay.

15 Ilaahna Nuux buu la hadlay, isagoo leh, 16 Doonnida ka baxa adiga, iyo naagtaada, iyo wiilashaada, iyo naagaha wiilashaada ee kula jiraba. 17 Soo bixi wax kasta oo nool oo kula jooga, inta jidhka leh oo dhan, kuwaas oo ah haadda, iyo xoolaha, iyo waxa dhulka gurguurta oo dhan; si ay dhulka ugu bataan, oo ay wax badan u dhalaan, oo ay dhulka ugu tarmaan. 18 Nuuxna wuu baxay, isagii iyo wiilashiisii, iyo naagtiisii, iyo naagihii wiilashiisa ee la jirayba. 19 Dugaag kasta, iyo wax kasta oo gurguurta, iyo haad kasta, iyo wax alla wixii dhulka ku dhaqaaqaaba, jinsigoodii ayay doonnidii kala soo baxeen. 20 Nuuxna meel allabari buu Rabbiga u dhisay; xayawaankii daahirka ahaa iyo haaddii daahirka ahaydba, intuu wax ka qaatay, ayuu allabaryo la gubo ku bixiyey meeshii allabariga dusheeda. 21 Rabbiguna wuxuu uriyey caraftii udgoonayd, kolkaasuu Rabbigu iska yidhi qalbigiisa, Mar dambe dadka aawadiis dhulka uma habaari doono, maxaa yeelay, malaha qalbiga dadku waa shar tan iyo yaraantiisa; mar dambena ma aan dili doono wax kasta oo nool sidii aan yeelay. 22 Intuu dhulku jiro, beer abuurid, iyo beer goosasho, iyo qabow iyo kulayl, iyo gu iyo jiilaal, iyo habeen iyo maalin midnaba ma joogsan doono.

But God remembered(A) Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth,(B) and the waters receded. Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens(C) had been closed, and the rain(D) had stopped falling from the sky. The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days(E) the water had gone down, and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month(F) the ark came to rest on the mountains(G) of Ararat.(H) 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.

After forty days(I) Noah opened a window he had made in the ark and sent out a raven,(J) and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth.(K) Then he sent out a dove(L) to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. But the dove could find nowhere to perch because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark. 10 He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark. 11 When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth.(M) 12 He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.

13 By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year,(N) the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. 14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month(O) the earth was completely dry.

15 Then God said to Noah, 16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives.(P) 17 Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground—so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number on it.”(Q)

18 So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.(R) 19 All the animals and all the creatures that move along the ground and all the birds—everything that moves on land—came out of the ark, one kind after another.

20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord(S) and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean(T) birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings(U) on it. 21 The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma(V) and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground(W) because of humans, even though[a] every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood.(X) And never again will I destroy(Y) all living creatures,(Z) as I have done.

22 “As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest,(AA)
cold and heat,
summer and winter,(AB)
day and night
will never cease.”(AC)
