1Pea naʻe manatu ʻae ʻOtua kia Noa, mo e meʻa moʻui kotoa pē, mo e fanga manu kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe ʻi he vaka mo ia: pea naʻe pule ʻe he ʻOtua ke ʻalu atu ʻae matangi ʻi he funga ʻo māmani, pea naʻe matuku ai ʻae ngaahi vai;
1And God remembered Noe, and all the living creatures, and all the cattle which were with him in the ark, and brought a wind upon the earth, and the waters were abated.
2Naʻe tāpuni foki ʻae ngaahi matavai ʻoe moana mo e ngaahi matavai ʻoe langi, pea naʻe taʻofi ʻae ʻuha mei he langi;
2The fountains also of the deep, and the flood gates of heaven were shut up, and the rain from heaven was restrained.
3Pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ke matuku ʻae ngaahi vai mei māmani: pea ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻae ʻaho ʻe teau ma nimangofulu kuo siʻi ʻae ngaahi vai.
3And the waters returned from off the earth going and coming: and they began to be abated after a hundred and fifty days.
4Pea naʻe toka ʻae vaka ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻAlalate, ʻi hono fitu ʻoe māhina, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe hongofulu ma fitu ʻoe māhina.
4And the ark rested in the seventh month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, upon the mountains of Armenia.
5Pea naʻe fakasiʻisiʻi maʻuaipē ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo aʻu ki hono hongofulu ʻoe māhina : naʻe ha hake ʻae tumutumu ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga ʻi hono hongofulu māhina, ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe māhina.
5And the waters were going and decreasing until the tenth month: for in the tenth month, the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
6¶ Pea ʻi he hili ange ʻae ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu, naʻe toʻo ʻe Noa ʻae matapā ʻoe vaka ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi:
6And after that forty days were passed, Noe, opening the window of the ark which he had made, sent forth a raven:
7Pea naʻa ne tukuange ha leveni, ʻaia naʻe feʻaluʻaki, kaeʻoua ke matuʻu ʻae ngaahi vai mei he funga ʻo māmani.
7Which went forth and did not return, till the waters were dried up upon the earth.
8Naʻa ne tukuange foki ha lupe meiate ia, ke vakai pe kuo matuku ʻae ngaahi vai mei he funga ʻoe kelekele;
8He sent forth also a dove after him, to see if the waters had now ceased upon the face of the earth.
9Ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he lupe ha tuʻuʻanga ki hono ʻaofi vaʻe, pea naʻe foki ia kiate ia ki he vaka, he naʻe ʻi he funga ʻo māmani kotoa ʻae ngaahi vai: pea naʻe mafao atu ʻe ia hono nima, ʻo toʻo pea ʻomi ia kiate ia ki he vaka.
9But she, not finding where her foot might rest, returned to him into the ark: for the waters were upon the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and caught her, and brought her into the ark.
10Pea naʻe toe tatali ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu; pea ne toe tukuange ʻae lupe mei he vaka;
10And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove out of the ark.
11Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae lupe kiate ia ʻi he efiafi; pea vakai, kuo ʻi hono ngutu ʻae lauʻi ʻolive kuo ne pakiʻi: pea toki ʻilo ai ʻe Noa kuo matuku ʻae ngaahi vai mei he māmani.
11And she came to him in the evening, carrying a bough of an olive tree, with green leaves, in her mouth. Noe therefore understood that the waters were ceased upon the earth.
12Pea toe tatali ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu; pea tuku atu ai ʻae lupe; pea naʻe ʻikai toe foki mai ia kiate ia.
12And he stayed yet other seven days: and he sent forth the dove, which returned not any more unto him.
13¶ Pea ʻi he hoko ki hono onongeau ma taha taʻu, ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina , ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe māhina, naʻe matuʻu ai ʻae ngaahi vai mei he fonua; pea naʻe hiki ʻe Noa ʻae ʻufiʻufi ʻoe vaka, ʻo sio, pea vakai, kuo mōmoa ʻae funga ʻoe kelekele.
13Therefore in the six hundredth and first year, the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were lessened upon the earth, and Noe opening the covering of the ark, looked, and saw that the face of the earth was dried.
14Pea naʻe mōmoa ʻae fonua ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina, ʻi hono uofulu ma fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina.
14In the second month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth was dried.
15¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia Noa, ʻo pehē,
15And God spoke to Noe, saying:
16“ʻAlu atu mei he vaka, ʻa koe, mo ho uaifi, mo ho ngaahi foha, mo e ngaahi uaifi ʻo ho ngaahi foha mo koe.
16Go out of the ark, thou and thy wife, thy sons, and the wives of thy sons with thee.
17Omi mo koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate koe, ʻi he kakano kotoa pē, mo e fanga manupuna, mo e fanga manu, pea mo e meʻa totolo kotoa pē ʻoku ngaolo ʻi he fonua; koeʻuhi kenau fanafanau ʻo lahi ʻi he fonua pea tupu, pea fakatokolahi ʻi māmani.”
17All living things that are with thee of all flesh, as well in fowls as in beasts, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, bring out with thee, and go ye upon the earth: increase and multiply upon it.
18Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Noa, mo hono ngaahi foha, mo hono uaifi, mo e ngaahi uaifi ʻo hono ngaahi foha mo ia:
18So Noe went out, he and his sons: his wife, and the wives of his sons with him.
19Naʻe ʻalu atu mei he vaka, ʻi honau faʻahinga, ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi meʻa totolo kotoa pē, mo e fanga manupuna kotoa pē, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku totolo ʻi he fonua.
19And all living things, and cattle, and creeping things that creep upon the earth, according to their kinds, went out of the ark.
20¶ Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Noa ha ʻesifeilaulau kia Sihova; pea naʻa ne toʻo mei he fanga manu maʻa kotoa pē, pea mei he fanga manupuna naʻe maʻa, pea ʻohake ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻi he ʻesifeilaulau.
20And Noe built an altar unto the Lord: and taking of all cattle and fowls that were clean, offered holocausts upon the altar.
21Pea naʻe nanamu ʻa Sihova ki hono ngangatu lelei, pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova ʻi hono finangalo, “ʻE ʻikai te u toe fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻae fonua koeʻuhi ko e tangata; he ʻoku kovi ʻae ngaōʻi ʻoe loto ʻoe tangata mei heʻene kei siʻi; pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe taaʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko ia kuo u fai.
21And the Lord smelled a sweet savour, and said: I will no more curse the earth for the sake of man: for the imagination and thought of man’s heart are prone to evil from his youth: therefore I will no more destroy every living soul as I have done.
22Lolotonga ʻae tuʻu ʻa māmani, ʻe ʻikai tuku ʻae tō taʻu mo e ututaʻu, mo e momoko mo e pupuha, mo e faʻahitaʻu mafana mo e faʻahitaʻu momoko, mo e ʻaho mo e pō.”
22All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, shall not cease.
