1 B ut God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water subsided.

Na ka mahara te atua ki a Noa, ki nga mea ora katoa me nga kararehe katoa ano hoki i a ia i roto i te aaka: na ka mea te Atua kia tika atu tetahi hau i runga i te whenua, a ka mariri nga wai.

2 A lso the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained;

A ka tutakina atu nga matapuna o te rire me nga matapihi o te rangi, ka whakamutua ano hoki te ua o te rangi.

3 a nd the water receded steadily from the earth, and at the end of one hundred and fifty days the water decreased.

Na ka hoki haere nga wai i runga i te whenua: a i te paunga o nga ra kotahi rau e rima tekau kua iti iho nga wai.

4 I n the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat.

A i tau iho te aaka i te whitu o nga marama, i te kotahi tekau ma whitu o nga ra o te marama, ki runga ki nga maunga o Ararata.

5 T he water decreased steadily until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains became visible.

Me te heke haere tonu o nga wai, a taea noatia te tekau o nga marama: no te tekau o nga marama, no te ra tuatahi o te marama, ka kitea nga tihi o nga maunga.

6 T hen it came about at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made;

A, i te mutunga o nga ra e wha tekau, na ka uakina e Noa te matapihi o te aaka i hanga e ia:

7 a nd he sent out a raven, and it flew here and there until the water was dried up from the earth.

A ka tukua atu e ia he raweni, a, ko tona rerenga atu, ka kopiko atu, ka kopiko mai, a maroke noa nga wai i runga i te whenua.

8 T hen he sent out a dove from him, to see if the water was abated from the face of the land;

Na ka tukua atu ano e ia he kukupa, kia kitea ai kua iti iho ranei nga wai i runga i te mata o te whenua;

9 b ut the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, so she returned to him into the ark, for the water was on the surface of all the earth. Then he put out his hand and took her, and brought her into the ark to himself.

A kihai i kitea e te kukupa tetahi taunga iho mo te takahanga o tona waewae, a ka hoki mai ki a ia, ki roto ki te aaka: i runga hoki nga wai i te mata o te whenua katoa: na ka totoro atu tona ringa, a hopukia ana ia, tangohia ana mai ki a ia ki r oto ki te aaka.

10 S o he waited yet another seven days; and again he sent out the dove from the ark.

Na ka tatari ano ia, e whitu atu nga ra; a ka tukua atu ano e ia te kukupa i roto i te aaka:

11 T he dove came to him toward evening, and behold, in her beak was a freshly picked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the water was abated from the earth.

A i te ahiahi ka rere mai te kukupa ki a ia; na i roto i tona waha he rau oriwa, he mea korari mai; a ka mohio a Noa kua iti iho nga wai i runga i te whenua.

12 T hen he waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; but she did not return to him again.

A ka tatari ano ia, e whitu atu ano nga ra; a tukua atu ana e ia te kukupa; a kihai tena i hoki mai ano ki a ia i muri iho.

13 N ow it came about in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the water was dried up from the earth. Then Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried up.

A no te ono rau ma tahi o nga tau, no te marama tuatahi, no te ra tuatahi o te marama, i maroke atu ai nga wai i runga i te whenua: na ka hurahia atu e Noa te hipoki o te aaka, a ka kite, na, kua maroke te mata o te whenua.

14 I n the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

A no te rua o nga marama, no te rua tekau ma whitu o nga ra o te marama, i maroke ai te whenua.

15 T hen God spoke to Noah, saying,

Na ka korero te Atua ki a Noa, ka mea,

16 “ Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons’ wives with you.

Puta mai koe i te aaka, koutou tahi ko tau wahine, ko au tama, me nga wahine a au tama.

17 B ring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you, birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.”

Kia puta tahi mai me koe nga mea ora katoa i a koe na, nga kikokiko katoa, nga manu, nga kararehe, me nga mea ngoki katoa e ngokingoki ana i runga i te whenua; a kia whakatuputupu ratou ki runga ki te whenua, kia hua, kia ngahue ki runga ki te w henua.

18 S o Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him.

Na ka puta a Noa, ratou tahi ko ana tama, ko tana wahine, me nga wahine a ana tama:

19 E very beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out by their families from the ark.

Ka puta hoki i roto i te aaka nga kirehe katoa, nga mea ngokingoki katoa, nga manu katoa, me nga mea ngoki katoa i runga i te whenua o ia ahua, o ia ahua.

20 T hen Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

Na ka hanga e Noa tetahi aata ma Ihowa, a ka tango ia i etahi o nga kararehe pokekore katoa, o nga manu pokekore katoa hoki, a whakaekea tinanatia ana e ia ki runga ki te aata.

21 T he Lord smelled the soothing aroma; and the Lord said to Himself, “I will never again curse the ground on account of man, for the intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth; and I will never again destroy every living thing, as I have done.

Na ka hongi a Ihowa i roto i tona ngakau, E kore ahau e kanga ano i te oneone a muri ake nei mo nga mahi a te tangata; otiia he kino nga tokonga ake o te ngakau o te tangata, o tona taitamarikitanga ake ano; e kore ano hoki ahau e patu i nga mea ora katoa a muri ake nei, e penei me tenei meatanga aku.

22 “ While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, And cold and heat, And summer and winter, And day and night Shall not cease.”

E mau ana te whenua, e kore e mutu te po rui me te po kokoti, te maeke me te mahana, te raumati me te hotoke, te ao me te po.
