8–BOB
Toʻfonning intihosi
1 Xudo Nuhni va u bilan kemada birga boʻlgan barcha jonzotlarni esdan chiqarmagan edi. Xudo yer uzra shabada estirgan edi, suv pasaya boshladi. 2 Yer ostidagi buloqlar , osmonning qopqasi berkildi, qattiq quyayotgan jala toʻxtadi. 3 Suv asta–sekin yer yuzida kamaya boshladi. Nihoyat, 150 kundan keyin suv kamaydi. 4 Yettinchi oyning oʻn yettinchi kuni kema Ararat togʻi choʻqqilariga tiralib toʻxtab qoldi. 5 Oʻninchi oygacha suv kamayib boraverdi. Nihoyat, oʻninchi oyning birinchi kuni togʻ choʻqqilari koʻrindi.
6 Yana qirq kun oʻtgach, Nuh kemaning darchasini ochdi–da, 7 qargʻani chiqarib yubordi. Yer yuzidagi suv quriguncha, qargʻa u yoqdan–bu yoqqa uchib yuraverdi. 8 Yer yuzidagi suv quriganini bilish uchun endi Nuh kemadan kaptarni uchirib yubordi. 9 Hali yer yuzini suv bosib yotgani uchun kaptar qoʻngani joy topolmay, kemaga — Nuhning yoniga qaytib keldi. Nuh kaptarni ushlab, ichkariga oldi. 10 Yetti kundan keyin Nuh yana kaptarni kemadan uchirdi. 11 Kechga yaqin kaptar uning yoniga qaytib keldi. Kaptarning tumshugʻida yangi oʻsib chiqqan zaytun bargi bor edi. Nuh bildiki, yer yuzidagi suv pasayibdi. 12 Nuh yana yetti kunni oʻtkazib, kaptarni uchirib yubordi. Kaptar Nuhning yoniga boshqa qaytib kelmadi.
13 Nuh 601 yoshga kirganda, birinchi oyning birinchi kunida yer yuzidagi suv quriy boshladi. Nuh kemaning qopqogʻini ochib qaradi, yer yuzi hali toʻliq qurimagan ekan. 14 Nihoyat, ikkinchi oyning yigirma yettinchi kuni yer butunlay qup–quruq boʻldi. 15 Keyin Xudo Nuhga shunday dedi: 16 “Kemadan chiq, xotining, oʻgʻillaring, kelinlaring ham sen bilan birga kemadan chiqishsin. 17 Oʻzing bilan birga hamma tirik jonzotlarni — qushlaru hayvonlarni, sudralib yuruvchi jonivorlarni, hasharotlarni ham olib chiq, toki ular yer yuzida serpusht boʻlib, koʻpayib, gʻij–gʻij qaynasin.” 18 Shunday qilib, Nuh oʻgʻillarini, xotini va kelinlarini boshlab, kemadan tashqariga chiqdi. 19 Hamma hayvonlar, sudralib yuruvchi jonivorlar, hasharotlar, qushlar — yerda yashaydigan jamiki jonzotlar ham oʻz jufti bilan kemadan chiqdi.
Nuh qurbonlik keltiradi
20 Soʻngra Nuh Egamizga atab qurbongoh qurdi. Soʻng har bir halol hayvondan va halol qushdan olib, qurbongoh ustida ularni qurbonlik qilib kuydirdi. 21 Egamiz qurbonlikning xushboʻy hididan mamnun boʻlib, Oʻziga Oʻzi dedi: “Insonning koʻnglida bolaligidanoq qabih niyat bor ekan. Shunday boʻlsa ham, Men bundan buyon jamiki tirik jonzotni oldingiday qirib tashlamayman. Inson tufayli butun dunyoni laʼnatlamayman. 22 Bu olam turar ekan, bahorda ekin–tikin, kuzda oʻrim–yigʻim, yoz va qish, sovuq va issiq, kunduz va tun boʻlaveradi.”
1 And 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 asswaged; 2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; 3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 5 And 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.
6 ¶ And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: 7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 9 But 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. 10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; 11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. 12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
13 ¶ And 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. 14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
15 ¶ And God spake unto Noah, saying, 16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee. 17 Bring 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. 18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him: 19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
20 ¶ And 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. 21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; 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. 22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
