1But God showed concern for Noah. He also showed concern for all the wild animals and livestock that were with Noah in the ark. So God sent a wind to sweep over the earth. And the waters began to go down. 2The springs at the bottom of the oceans had been closed. The windows of the sky had also been closed. And the rain had stopped falling from the sky. 3The water on the earth continued to go down. At the end of the 150 days the water had gone down. 4On the 17th day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. 5The waters continued to go down until the tenth month. On the first day of that month, the tops of the mountains could be seen.
6After 40 days Noah opened a window he had made in the ark. 7He sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the water on the earth had dried up. 8Then Noah sent out a dove. He wanted to see if the water on the surface of the ground had gone down. 9But the dove couldn’t find any place to rest. Water still covered the whole surface of the earth. So the dove returned to Noah in the ark. Noah reached out his hand and took the dove in. He brought it back to himself in the ark. 10He waited seven more days. Then he sent out the dove again from the ark. 11In the evening the dove returned to him. There in its beak was a freshly picked olive leaf! So Noah knew that the water on the earth had gone down. 12He waited seven more days. Then he sent out the dove again. But this time it didn’t return to him.
13It was the first day of the first month of Noah’s 601st year. The water on the earth had dried up. Then Noah removed the covering from the ark. He saw that the surface of the ground was dry. 14By the 27th day of the second month the earth was completely dry.
15Then God said to Noah, 16“Come out of the ark. Bring your wife and your sons and their wives with you. 17Bring out every kind of living thing that is with you. Bring the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground. Then they can multiply on the earth. They can have little ones and the number of them can increase.”
18So Noah came out of the ark. His sons and his wife and his sons’ wives were with him. 19All the animals came out of the ark. The creatures that move along the ground also came out. So did all the birds. Everything that moves on land came out of the ark, one kind after another.
20Then Noah built an altar to honor the Lord. He took some of the “clean” animals and birds. He sacrificed them on the altar as burnt offerings. 21The smell of the offerings pleased the Lord. He said to himself, “I will never put a curse on the ground again because of human beings. I will not do it even though their hearts are always directed toward evil. Their thoughts are evil from the time they are young. I will never destroy all living things again, as I have just done.
22“As long as the earth lasts,
there will always be a time to plant
and a time to gather the crops.
As long as the earth lasts,
there will always be cold and heat.
There will always be summer and winter,
day and night.”
Ang Pag-untat sang Baha
1Wala pagkalimti sang Dios si Noe kag ang iya mga kaupod nga mga sapat sa sulod sang barko. Gani ginpahuyop niya ang hangin sa kalibutan kag nag-amat-amat hubas ang tubig. 2Gintakpan niya ang mga tuburan kag ginpauntat ang ulan. 3Sige hubas ang tubig sa sulod sang 150 ka adlaw. 4Kag sang ika-17 nga adlaw sang ikapito nga bulan, nabara ang barko sa kabukiran sang Ararat. 5Padayon nga naghubas ang tubig. Kag sang nahauna nga adlaw sang ika-10 nga bulan, makita na ang putokputokan sang mga bukid.
6Pagligad sang 40 pa gid ka adlaw, ginbuksan ni Noe ang bintana sang barko 7kag ginbuy-an paguwa ang isa ka uwak. Kag ang ini nga uwak sige lang ang iya lupad-lupad pakadto-pabalik hasta sa paghubas sang tubig. 8Ginbuy-an man ni Noe ang isa ka pating agod mahibaluan niya kon naghubas na ang tubig, 9pero wala sing may mahapunan ang pating tungod kay natabunan pa sang tubig ang bug-os nga kalibutan. Gani nagbalik na lang ang pating kay Noe sa barko. Ginpahapon ni Noe ang pating sa iya kamot kag ginpasulod sa barko. 10Ginpaligad anay ni Noe ang pito ka adlaw kag ginbuy-an niya liwat ang pating. 11Nagbalik ang pating sang sirom na nga may lab-as nga dahon sang olibo sa iya tuktok. Gani nahibaluan ni Noe nga naghubas na ang tubig. 12Ginpaligad liwat ni Noe ang pito pa gid ka adlaw kag ginbuy-an niya liwat ang pating, pero wala na ini nagbalik.
13Nagaedad na si Noe sing 601 ka tuig. Kag sang nahauna nga adlaw sang nahauna nga bulan, naghubas ang tubig. Ginkuha ni Noe ang tabon sa may barko kag nakita niya nga mala na ang duta. 14Sang ika-27 nga adlaw sang ikaduha nga bulan mala na gid ang duta sa bug-os nga kalibutan.
15Nagsiling dayon ang Dios kay Noe, 16“Guwa na kamo tanan sa barko. 17Kag paguwaa man ang tanan nga sapat agod magmuad sila kag magdamo, kag maglapta sa kalibutan.” 18Gani nagguwa si Noe upod ang iya asawa, mga anak nga lalaki kag mga umagad. 19Nagguwa man ang tanan nga sapat: ang nagalakat, ang nagalupad, kag ang nagakamang. Nagainupod sila suno sa ila nga klase.
Naghalad si Noe
20Naghimo si Noe sang halaran para sa Ginoo. Dayon nagkuha siya sang isa sa kada klase sang mga sapat nga matinlo8:20 matinlo: buot silingon, puwede nga ihalad ukon kaunon. pati man sa kada klase sang mga pispis nga matinlo kag ginsunog niya ini sa halaran bilang halad sa Ginoo. 21Sang napanimahuan sang Ginoo ang kahamot sini, nagsiling siya sa iya kaugalingon, “Indi ko na gid pagpakamalauton liwat ang duta tungod sang ginahimo sang tawo. Bisan pa nga nahibaluan ko nga makasasala ang tawo halin sang bata pa siya, indi ko na gid paglaglagon liwat ang tanan nga nagakabuhi pareho sang akon ginhimo sadto. 22Samtang nagapadayon ang kalibutan, may panahon sang tigtalanom kag may tig-alani, may tigtulugnaw kag may tig-ilinit, may tingulan kag may tingadlaw, kag may adlaw kag may gab-i.”
