Our Papa Remember Noah

Our Papa remember Noah, and di water begin go down. Noah dey read di world through one raven and one dove until one olive leaf come back. E build altar, and our Papa decide say e no go ever again strike down every living tin.

Chapter 8.

But our Papa remember Noah, all di living creatures, and all di livestock wey dey with am for inside di ark, and e blow wind pass di earth so di water begin dey go down. a a v1 Wen Scripture talk say our Papa "remember," e no mean say e bin forget — e mean say e act on im Covenant love wen di right time reach. Di springs of di deep and di floodgates of heaven close, and di rain from di sky stop. Water continue dey go down comot from di earth, and afta 150 days e don go down well well. Di ark come rest for di mountains of Ararat for di seventeenth day of di seventh month. b b v4 Ararat mean one mountain region, e no mean say na only one peak. Di water continue dey go down reach di tenth month; for di first day of di month, di top of di mountains show.

Afta forty days, Noah open di window wey e bin make for di ark, e send one raven comot, and e dey fly go come, go come, till di water dry comot from di earth. Den e release di dove from am make e go see whether di water don go down from di top of di ground. But di dove no fit find any place wey e go rest im leg, so e come back to am for inside di ark, because water still cover di whole top of di earth. So e stretch im hand, take am, and bring am back come inside di ark. E wait seven more days, and e send di dove comot from di ark again. Di dove come back to am for dat evening with fresh olive leaf wey e just pluck for im mouth, so Noah know say di water don go down from di earth. E wait seven more days, den e send di dove comot again; dis time di dove no come back to am again.

For Noah 600 and one year, di first day of di first month, di water don dry comot from di earth. Noah remove di cover of di ark, look outside, and e see say di top of di ground don dry. By di twenty-seventh day of di second month, di earth don dry finish.

Den our Papa tell Noah say,

"Comot from di ark: you and your wife and your sons and di wives of your sons wey dey with you. Bring out with you every living creature—all flesh: birds, animals, everything wey dey crawl for ground—make dem fit spread plenty for di earth, born well, and multiply for di earth."

So Noah comot, together with im sons and im wife and di wives of im sons. Every animal, every crawling thing, every bird—everything wey dey move for di earth—comot from di ark according to dia kind.

Noah build one altar to our Papa, take some of every clean animal and every clean bird, and offer burnt offerings on top am.

Our Papa smell di sweet aroma and talk for im heart say, "I no go ever curse di ground again because of mankind, even doh di human heart dey turn to evil from wen person still young, and I no go ever strike down every living thing again like as I don do. c c v21 Na no be di smell itself make our Papa happy, but na di faithful worship and obedience wey di offering show. As long as di earth dey stand, planting time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night no go ever stop."
