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

¹And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;

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

²The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

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

³And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

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

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

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

⁵And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

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

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

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

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

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

⁸Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;

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

⁹But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.

¹⁰Zvino wakagara amwe mazuva manomwezve; akatuma njiva muareka.

¹⁰And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;

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

¹¹And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

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

¹²And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.

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.

¹³And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.

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

¹⁴And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.

¹⁵Zvino Mwari wakataura naNowa achiti:

¹⁵And God spake unto Noah, saying,

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

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

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

¹⁷Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

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

¹⁸And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:

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

¹⁹Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.

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

²⁰And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

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.

²¹And the LORD smelled a sweet savor; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

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

²²While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
