1.Mose 8 | New International Version
1 But 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. 2 Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky. 3 The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down, 4 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. 5 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. 6 After forty days Noah opened a window he had made in the ark 7 and sent out a raven, and it kept flying to and forth until the water had dried up from the earth. 8 Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. 9 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. 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, 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 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. 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.’ 18 So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives. 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 and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. 21 The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: ‘Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though* 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.’

1 اما خدا، نوح و حيوانات درون كشتی را فراموش نكرده بود. او بادی بر سطح آبها وزانيد و سيلاب كمكم كاهش يافت. 2 آبهای زيرزمينی از فوران باز ايستادند و باران قطع شد. 3 آب رفتهرفته فرو نشست تا اينكه كشتی صد و پنجاه روز پس از شروع طوفان روی كوههای آرارات قرار گرفت. 5 سه ماه بعد قلههای كوهها نيز نمايان شدند. 6 پس از گذشت چهل روز، نوح پنجرهٔ كشتی را گشود و كلاغی رها كرد، ولی كلاغ به داخل كشتی باز نگشت، بلكه به اين سو و آن سو پرواز كرد تا زمين خشک شد.* 8 پس از آن، كبوتری رها كرد تا ببيند آيا كبوتر میتواند زمين خشكی برای نشستن پيدا كند. 9 اما كبوتر جايی را نيافت، زيرا هنوز آب بر سطح زمين بود. وقتی كبوتر برگشت، نوح دست خود را دراز كرد و كبوتر را گرفت و به داخل كشتی برد. 10 نوح هفت روز ديگر صبر كرد و بار ديگر همان كبوتر را رها نمود. 11 اين بار، هنگام غروب آفتاب، كبوتر در حالی كه برگ زيتون تازهای به منقار داشت، نزد نوح بازگشت. پس نوح فهميد كه در بيشتر نقاط، آب فرو نشسته است. 12 يک هفته بعد، نوح باز همان كبوتر را رها كرد، ولی اين بار كبوتر باز نگشت. 13 يک ماه پس از رها كردن كبوتر، نوح پوشش كشتی را برداشت و به بيرون نگريست و ديد كه سطح زمين خشک شده است. 14 هشت هفتهٔ ديگر هم گذشت و سرانجام همه جا خشک شد. 15 در اين هنگام خدا به نوح فرمود: «اينک زمان آن رسيده كه همه از كشتی خارج شويد. 17 تمام حيوانات، پرندگان و خزندگان را رها كن تا توليد مثل كنند و بر روی زمين زياد شوند.» 18 پس نوح با همسر و پسران و عروسانش از كشتی بيرون آمد. تمام حيوانات و خزندگان و پرندگان نيز دستهدسته از كشتی خارج شدند. 20 آنگاه نوح قربانگاهی برای خداوند ساخت و از هر حيوان و پرندهٔ حلال گوشت بر آن قربانی كرد. 21 خداوند از اين عمل نوح خشنود گرديد و با خود گفت: «من بار ديگر زمين را به خاطر انسان كه دلش از كودكی به طرف گناه متمايل است، لعنت نخواهم كرد و اينچنين تمام موجودات زنده را از بين نخواهم برد. 22 تا زمانی كه جهان باقی است، كشت و زرع، سرما و گرما، زمستان و تابستان، و روز و شب همچنان برقرار خواهد بود.»
