¶ Men, Bondye vin chonje Noe ansanm ak tout bèt bwa ak zannimo domestik ki te avè l' nan batiman an. Bondye fè yon van soufle sou latè, epi dlo yo konmanse bese.

Sous dlo ki nan fon lanmè a te sispann bay dlo. Syèl la sispann bay dlo tou. Lapli sispann tonbe.

Dlo yo menm t'ap bese, yo t'ap bese piti piti. Se sou sansenkant (150) jou dlo yo te konmanse bese.

¶ Sou sis mwa disèt jou, batiman an fè tè sou tèt mòn Arara yo.

Dlo yo t'ap bese toujou jouk sou dizyèm mwa a. Sou premye jou dizyèm mwa a, tèt mòn yo parèt.

¶ Karant jou apre sa, Noe louvri fennèt li te fè nan batiman an.

Li lage yon kònèy. Kònèy la soti. li ale vini, li ale vini jouk dlo a te fin cheche nèt sou latè.

Apre sa, li lage yon pijon, pou l' wè si dlo a te fin bese sou tè a.

Men, pijon an pa t' jwenn kote pou l' poze. Li tounen vin jwenn Noe nan batiman an, paske te gen dlo sou tout latè toujou. Noe lonje men l', li pran pijon an, li fè l' antre nan batiman an ankò.

10 Li tann sèt jou pase. Apre sa, li lage pijon an yon dezyèm fwa, li fè l' soti nan batiman an.

11 Vè aswè konsa, pijon an tounen vin jwenn li. Men, fwa sa a, li te gen yon fèy oliv tout vèt nan bèk li. Konsa, Noe vin konnen dlo a te bese sou tout latè.

12 Li tann sèt jou pase anvan li lage pijon an ankò. Fwa sa a menm pijon an pa t' tounen vin jwenn li ankò.

13 ¶ Se konsa, lè Noe te gen sisan ennan (601 an), nan premye jou premye mwa lanne jwif yo, dlo a te fin bese nèt sou latè. Noe dekouvri batiman an, li voye je l' gade, li wè tout tè a te chèch.

14 Sou vennsetyèm jou dezyèm mwa a, tè a te fin chèch nèt.

15 ¶ Lè sa a, Bondye di Noe:

16 -Soti nan batiman an, ou menm, madanm ou, pitit ou yo ansanm ak madanm pitit ou yo.

17 Fè tout bèt yo soti tout ansanm avèk ou, zwazo yo, zannimo domestik yo, tout bèt k'ap trennen sou vant yo. Se pou yo fè pitit, fè anpil pitit pou mete sou tè a ankò.

18 Se konsa Noe soti nan batiman an ansanm ak madanm li, pitit li yo ak madanm pitit li yo.

19 tout bèt bwa yo, tout zannimo domestik yo, tout bèt k'ap trennen sou vant yo, tout zwazo yo, yo tout yo soti nan batiman an tou.

20 ¶ Noe bati yon lotèl. Li pran yonn nan chak kalite bèt ak zwazo ki bon pou moun manje, li touye yo, li boule yo nèt sou lotèl la.

21 Lè Bondye pran bon sant lan, sa te fè l' plezi. Li di nan kè l' -Mwen p'ap janm bay tè a madichon ankò poutèt sa lèzòm fè, paske depi yo jenn, se move lide ase ki nan kè yo. Mwen p'ap janm detwi tout bèt vivan yo ankò, jan mwen sot fè l' la.

22 Toutotan latè a la, va gen yon lè pou plante, yon lè pou rekòlte, va gen sezon fredi ak sezon chalè, va gen sezon sèk, ak sezon lapli, va gen lajounen, va gen lannwit. Wi, toutotan latè a la, bagay sa yo p'ap janm sispann.

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)
