Genesis 8:1-22

Ang Pagbaba ng Baha

1Hindi 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. 2Tinakpan niya ang mga bukal at pinahinto ang ulan. 3Patuloy ang pagbaba ng tubig sa loob ng 150 araw. 4At nang ika-17 araw ng ikapitong buwan, sumadsad ang barko sa Bundok ng Ararat. 5Patuloy ang pagbaba ng tubig. At nang unang araw ng ikasampung buwan, nakikita na ang tuktok ng mga bundok.

6Pagkalipas ng 40 araw mula ng panahon na nakita na ang tuktok ng mga bundok, binuksan ni Noe ang bintana ng barko 7at pinakawalan ang isang uwak. At ang uwak na itoʼy parooʼt paritong lumilipad hanggang sa patuloy na pagbaba ng tubig. 8Pinakawalan din ni Noe ang isang kalapati para malaman niya kung bumaba na ang tubig, 9pero 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. 10Pinalipas muna ni Noe ang pitong araw at muli niyang pinakawalan ang kalapati. 11Gabi na nang bumalik ang kalapati na may dalang sariwang dahon ng olibo sa kanyang tuka. Kaya nalaman ni Noe na bumaba na ang tubig. 12Pinalipas muli ni Noe ang pitong araw pa at muli niyang pinakawalan ang kalapati, pero hindi na ito bumalik.

13Noong 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. 14Nang ika-27 araw ng ikalawang buwan, tuyong-tuyo na talaga ang lupa sa buong mundo.

15Sinabi agad ng Dios kay Noe, 16“Lumabas na kayong lahat sa barko. 17Palabasin nʼyo rin ang lahat ng hayop para dumami sila at mangalat sa buong mundo.” 18Kaya lumabas si Noe kasama ang kanyang asawa, mga anak na lalaki at mga manugang niya. 19Lumabas din ang lahat ng hayop: mga lumalakad, lumilipad at gumagapang. Magkakasama sila ayon sa kani-kanilang uri.

Naghandog si Noe

20Gumawa si Noe ng altar para sa Panginoon. Pagkatapos, kumuha siya ng isa sa bawat uri ng hayop na malinis8:20 malinis: Ang ibig sabihin, maaaring ihandog o, kainin. pati rin sa bawat uri ng mga ibon na malinis, at sinunog niya ito sa altar bilang handog sa Panginoon. 21Nang 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. 22Habang 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.”

New International Version

Genesis 8:1-22

1But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded. 2Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky. 3The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down, 4and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. 5The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.

6After forty days Noah opened a window he had made in the ark 7and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth. 8Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. 9But 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. 10He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark. 11When 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. 12He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him.

13By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year, 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. 14By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry.

15Then God said to Noah, 16“Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives. 17Bring 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.”

18So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives. 19All 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.

20Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. 21The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though8:21 Or humans, for every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.

22“As long as the earth endures,

seedtime and harvest,

cold and heat,

summer and winter,

day and night

will never cease.”
