1 ثم ذكر الله نوحا وكل الوحوش وكل البهائم التي معه في الفلك. واجاز الله ريحا على الارض فهدأت المياه.2 وانسدّت ينابيع الغمر وطاقات السماء. فامتنع المطر من السماء.3 ورجعت المياه عن الارض رجوعا متواليا. وبعد مئة وخمسين يوما نقصت المياه.4 واستقر الفلك في الشهر السابع في اليوم السابع عشر من الشهر على جبال اراراط.5 وكانت المياه تنقص نقصا متواليا الى الشهر العاشر. وفي العاشر في اول الشهر ظهرت رؤوس الجبال6 وحدث من بعد اربعين يوما ان نوحا فتح طاقة الفلك التي كان قد عملها7 وارسل الغراب. فخرج مترددا حتى نشفت المياه عن الارض.8 ثم ارسل الحمامة من عنده ليرى هل قلّت المياه عن وجه الارض.9 فلم تجد الحمامة مقرا لرجلها. فرجعت اليه الى الفلك. لان مياها كانت على وجه كل الارض. فمدّ يده واخذها وادخلها عنده الى الفلك.10 فلبث ايضا سبعة ايام أخر وعاد فارسل الحمامة من الفلك.11 فأتت اليه الحمامة عند المساء واذا ورقة زيتون خضراء في فمها. فعلم نوح ان المياه قد قلّت عن الارض.12 فلبث ايضا سبعة ايام أخر وارسل الحمامة فلم تعد ترجع اليه ايضا13 وكان في السنة الواحدة والست مئة في الشهر الاول في اوّل الشهر ان المياه نشفت عن الارض. فكشف نوح الغطاء عن الفلك ونظر فاذا وجه الارض قد نشف.14 وفي الشهر الثاني في اليوم السابع والعشرين من الشهر جفّت الارض15 وكلم الله نوحا قائلا.16 اخرج من الفلك انت وامرأتك وبنوك ونساء بنيك معك.17 وكل الحيوانات التي معك من كل ذي جسد الطيور والبهائم وكل الدبابات التي تدب على الارض اخرجها معك. ولتتوالد في الارض وتثمر وتكثر على الارض.18 فخرج نوح وبنوه وامرأته ونساء بنيه معه.19 وكل الحيوانات كل الدبابات وكل الطيور كل ما يدبّ على الارض كانواعها خرجت من الفلك20 وبنى نوح مذبحا للرب. واخذ من كل البهائم الطاهرة ومن كل الطيور الطاهرة واصعد محرقات على المذبح.21 فتنسم الرب رائحة الرضا. وقال الرب في قلبه لا اعود العن الارض ايضا من اجل الانسان لان تصوّر قلب الانسان شرير منذ حداثته. ولا اعود ايضا أميت كل حيّ كما فعلت.22 مدة كل ايام الارض زرع وحصاد وبرد وحرّ وصيف وشتاء ونهار وليل لا تزال

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 assuaged;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, on 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 to 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 to 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, see, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked 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 to 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 spoke to Noah, saying,16 Go forth of the ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons'wives with you.17 Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creeps on the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on 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 whatever creeps on the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.20 And Noah built an altar to 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 smell; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man' sake; for the imagination of man' heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
