Die kam zu ihm zur Abendzeit, und siehe, ein Ölblatt hatte sie abgebrochen und trug's in ihrem Munde. Da merkte Noah, daß das Gewässer gefallen wäre auf Erden.
Y la paloma volvió a él a la hora de la tarde: y he aquí que traía una hoja de oliva tomada en su pico: y entendió Noé que las aguas se habían retirado de sobre la tierra.
La colombe revint à lui sur le soir; et voici, une feuille d'olivier arrachée était dans son bec. Noé connut ainsi que les eaux avaient diminué sur la terre.
Ed in sul tempo del vespro, la colomba ritornò a lui; ed ecco, avea nel becco una fronde spiccata di un ulivo; onde Noè conobbe che le acque erano scemate d’in su la terra.
E a pomba voltou a ele à tarde; e eis, arrancada, uma folha de oliveira no seu bico; e conheceu Noé que as águas tinham minguado de sobre a terra.
到了晚上,鴿子回到他那裏,看哪,嘴裏有一片剛啄下來的橄欖葉, 挪亞 就知道水已經從地上退了。
