¹And God remembered Noah, and all the animals, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.

¹Zvino Mwari wakarangarira Nowa nechose chinorarama, nechipfuwo chose chaiva naye muareka. Mwari akafambisa mhepo panyika, mvura ndokuserera.

²And the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were closed, and the pour of rain from heaven was stopped.

²Zvini kwakadzivirwa zvitubu zvepakadzika nemahwindo ematenga akadzivirwa, nemvura yakabva kudenga ikadziviswa.

³And the waters retired from the earth, continually retiring; and in the course of a hundred and fifty days the waters abated.

³Mvura ndokuramba ichidzoka achibva panyika, mvura ndokuderera shure kwemazuva zana nemakumi mashanu.

⁴And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.

⁴Zvino areka yakagara mumwedzi wechino­mwe, nezuva regumi nemanomwe re­mwedzi pamusoro pama­komo eArarati.

⁵And the waters abated continually until the tenth month: in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

⁵Mvura ndokuramba ichiderera kusvikira pamwedzi wegumi; nemwedzi wegumi, nezuva rekutanga remwedzi kwakaonekwa misoro yemakomo.

⁶And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.

⁶Zvino zvikaitika pakupera kwemazuva makumi mana, kuti Nowa akazarura hwindo reareka raakanga aita,

⁷And he sent out the raven, which went forth going to and fro, until the waters were dried from the earth.

⁷akabudisa gunguvo, iro rikaramba richiyengerera ku­svikira mvura yapwa panyika.

⁸And he sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had become low on the ground.

⁸Akatumawo njiva kubva paaiva, kuti aone kana mvura yaserera pachiso chenyika;

⁹But the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and returned to him into the ark; for the waters were on the whole earth; and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ark.

⁹asi njiva haina kuwana zororo rerutsoka rwayo, ikadzokera kwaari kuareka, ne­kuti mvura yaiva pamusoro pechiso chenyika yose; akatambanudza ruoko rwake, akai­tora, akaipinza kwaari muareka.

¹⁰And he waited yet other seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.

¹⁰Zvino wakagara amwe mazuva manomwezve; akatuma njiva muareka.

¹¹And the dove came to him at eventide; and behold, in her beak was an olive-leaf plucked off; and Noah knew that the waters had become low on the earth.

¹¹Njiva ikapinda kwaari madekwani, zvino tarira, mumuromo mayo maiva neshizha remuorivhi rakatanhwa; naizvozvo Nowa wakaziva kuti mvura yaiva yaserera kubva panyika.

¹²And he waited yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned no more to him.

¹²Zvino wakagara amwe mazuva manomwe, akatuma njiva; iyo haina kudzokerazve kwaari zvekare.

¹³And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried.

¹³Zvino zvakaitika mgore remazana matanhatu nerimwe, pamwedzi wekutanga, nemusi wekutanga wemwedzi, mvura yaiva ya­pwa kubva panyika; zvino Nowa wakabvisa denga reareka, akaona, zvino tarira, pasi pose paoma.

¹⁴And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

¹⁴Zvino nemwedzi wechipiri, nezuva rema­kumi maviri nemanomwe remwedzi, nyika yaiva yaoma.

¹⁵And God spoke to Noah, saying,

¹⁵Zvino Mwari wakataura naNowa achiti:

¹⁶Go out of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

¹⁶Buda muareka, iwe, nemukadzi wako, nevanakomana vako, nevakadzi vevanakomana vako pamwe newe.

¹⁷Bring forth with thee every animal which is with thee, of all flesh, fowl as well as cattle, and all the creeping things which creep on the earth, that they may swarm on the earth, and may be fruitful and multiply on the earth.

¹⁷Chose chinorarama chinewe, panyama yose, yeshiri neyechipfuwo neyechose chinokambaira, chinokambaira panyika, buda nacho; kuti chibereke chiwande panyika chibereke chiwande pamusoro penyika.

¹⁸And Noah went out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.

¹⁸Zvino Nowa wakabuda, iye nevanakomana vake, nemukadzi wake, neva­kadzi vevanakomana vake pamwe naye.

¹⁹All the animals, all the creeping things, and all the fowl -- everything that moves on the earth, after their kinds, went out of the ark.

¹⁹mhuka yose, nechinokambaira chose, neshiri yose, nechipi nechipi chinokambaira panyika, nemarudzi azvo, zvakabuda paareka.

²⁰And Noah built an altar to Jehovah; and took of every clean animal, and of all clean fowl, and offered up burnt-offerings on the altar.

²⁰Zvino Nowa wakavakira Je­hovha aritari, akatora pamhuka dzose dzakanaka neshiri dzose dzaka­naka, akapisira zvipiriso zvinopiswa paa­tari.

²¹And Jehovah smelled the sweet odour. And Jehovah said in his heart, I will no more henceforth curse the ground on account of Man, for the thought of Man's heart is evil from his youth; and I will no more smite every living thing, as I have done.

²¹Jehovha akanzwa kunhuhwira kwa­kanaka, Jehovha akati mumoyo make: Handichapi nyika rushambwazve nekuda kwemunhu; nekuti kufunga kwemoyo we­munhu kwakaipa kubva pauduku hwake; uye handichazorovizve chipenyu chose.

²²Henceforth, all the days of the earth, seed [time] and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.

²²Nguva yose yenyika, ku­dzvara nekukohwa, kutonhora nekudziya, zhizha nechando, masikati neusiku hazvi­ngagumi.
