Genesis 8
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Pagbaba ng Baha
8 Hindi kinalimutan ng Dios si Noe at ang mga kasama niyang hayop sa loob ng barko. Kaya pinaihip niya ang hangin sa mundo at dahan-dahang bumaba ang tubig. 2 Tinakpan niya ang mga bukal at pinahinto ang ulan. 3 Patuloy ang pagbaba ng tubig sa loob ng 150 araw. 4 At nang ika-17 araw ng ikapitong buwan, sumadsad ang barko sa Bundok ng Ararat. 5 Patuloy ang pagbaba ng tubig. At nang unang araw ng ikasampung buwan, nakikita na ang tuktok ng mga bundok.
6 Pagkalipas ng 40 araw mula ng panahon na nakita na ang tuktok ng mga bundok, binuksan ni Noe ang bintana ng barko 7 at pinakawalan ang isang uwak. At ang uwak na itoʼy parooʼt paritong lumilipad hanggang sa patuloy na pagbaba ng tubig. 8 Pinakawalan din ni Noe ang isang kalapati para malaman niya kung bumaba na ang tubig, 9 pero walang madapuan ang kalapati dahil natatakpan pa rin ng tubig ang buong mundo. Kaya bumalik na lamang ang kalapati kay Noe sa barko. Pinadapo ni Noe ang kalapati sa kamay niya at pinapasok sa barko. 10 Pinalipas muna ni Noe ang pitong araw at muli niyang pinakawalan ang kalapati. 11 Gabi na nang bumalik ang kalapati na may dalang sariwang dahon ng olibo sa kanyang tuka. Kaya nalaman ni Noe na bumaba na ang tubig. 12 Pinalipas muli ni Noe ang pitong araw pa at muli niyang pinakawalan ang kalapati, pero hindi na ito bumalik.
13 Noong unang araw ng unang buwan tuluyan nang bumaba ang tubig. Si Noe ay 601 taong gulang na noon. Binuksan niya ang takip ng barko at nakita niya na tuyo na ang lupa. 14 Nang ika-27 araw ng ikalawang buwan, tuyong-tuyo na talaga ang lupa sa buong mundo.
15 Sinabi agad ng Dios kay Noe, 16 “Lumabas na kayong lahat sa barko. 17 Palabasin nʼyo rin ang lahat ng hayop para dumami sila at mangalat sa buong mundo.” 18 Kaya lumabas si Noe kasama ang kanyang asawa, mga anak na lalaki at mga manugang niya. 19 Lumabas din ang lahat ng hayop: mga lumalakad, lumilipad at gumagapang. Magkakasama sila ayon sa kani-kanilang uri.
Naghandog si Noe
20 Gumawa si Noe ng altar para sa Panginoon. Pagkatapos, kumuha siya ng isa sa bawat uri ng hayop na malinis[a] pati rin sa bawat uri ng mga ibon na malinis, at sinunog niya ito sa altar bilang handog sa Panginoon. 21 Nang naamoy ng Panginoon ang mabangong samyo nito, sinabi niya sa kanyang sarili, “Hindi ko na muling susumpain ang lupa dahil sa ginawa ng tao, kahit alam kong makasalanan ang tao mula nang bata pa siya. Hindi ko na talaga muling lilipulin ang lahat ng nabubuhay katulad ng aking ginawa noon. 22 Habang nagpapatuloy ang mundo, may panahon ng pagtatanim at pag-ani. May taglamig at may tag-init, may tag-ulan at may tag-araw, at may araw at may gabi.”

English Standard Version Anglicised
The Flood Subsides
8 But God (A)remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. And (B)God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided. 2 (C)The fountains of the deep and (D)the windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained, 3 and the waters receded from the earth continually. At the end (E)of 150 days the waters had abated, 4 and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of (F)Ararat. 5 And the waters continued to abate until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
6 At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made 7 and sent forth a raven. It went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth. 8 Then he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground. 9 But the dove found no place to set her foot, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her and brought her into the ark with him. 10 He waited another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark. 11 And the dove came back to him in the evening, and behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth. 12 Then he waited another seven days and sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him any more.
13 In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried from off the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry. 14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth had dried out. 15 Then God said to Noah, 16 “Go out from the ark, (G)you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you. 17 Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh—birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth—that they may swarm on the earth, and (H)be fruitful and multiply on the earth.” 18 So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him. 19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out by families from the ark.
God's Covenant with Noah
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and took some of every clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And when the Lord smelt (I)the pleasing aroma, the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again (J)curse[a] the ground because of man, for (K)the intention of man's heart is evil from his youth. (L)Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done. 22 (M)While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, (N)day and night, shall not cease.”
