1 E lembrou-se Deus de Noé, e de todo animal, e de toda rês que com ele estava na arca; e Deus fez passar um vento sobre a terra, e aquietaram-se as águas. 2 Cerraram-se também as fontes do abismo e as janelas dos céus, e a chuva dos céus deteve-se. 3 E as águas tornaram de sobre a terra continuamente e, ao cabo de cento e cinquenta dias, as águas minguaram. 4 E a arca repousou, no sétimo mês, no dia dezessete do mês, sobre os montes de Ararate. 5 E foram as águas indo e minguando até ao décimo mês; no décimo mês, no primeiro dia do mês, apareceram os cumes dos montes.

6 E aconteceu que, ao cabo de quarenta dias, abriu Noé a janela da arca que tinha feito.

7 E soltou um corvo, que saiu, indo e voltando, até que as águas se secaram de sobre a terra. 8 Depois, soltou uma pomba, a ver se as águas tinham minguado de sobre a face da terra. 9 A pomba, porém, não achou repouso para a planta de seu pé e voltou a ele para a arca; porque as águas estavam sobre a face de toda a terra; e ele estendeu a sua mão, e tomou-a, e meteu-a consigo na arca. 10 E esperou ainda outros sete dias e tornou a enviar a pomba fora da arca. 11 E a pomba voltou a ele sobre a tarde; e eis, arrancada, uma folha de oliveira no seu bico; e conheceu Noé que as águas tinham minguado sobre a terra. 12 Então, esperou ainda outros sete dias e enviou fora a pomba; mas não tornou mais a ele.

13 E aconteceu que, no ano seiscentos e um, no mês primeiro, no primeiro dia do mês, as águas se secaram de sobre a terra. Então, Noé tirou a cobertura da arca e olhou, e eis que a face da terra estava enxuta. 14 E, no segundo mês, aos vinte e sete dias do mês, a terra estava seca.

15 Então, falou Deus a Noé, dizendo: 16 Sai da arca tu, e tua mulher, e teus filhos, e as mulheres de teus filhos contigo. 17 Todo animal que está contigo, de toda carne, de ave, e de gado, e de todo réptil que se roja sobre a terra, traze fora contigo; e povoem abundantemente a terra, e frutifiquem, e se multipliquem sobre a terra. 18 Então, saiu Noé, e seus filhos, e sua mulher, e as mulheres de seus filhos com ele; 19 todo animal, todo réptil, toda ave, tudo o que se move sobre a terra, conforme as suas famílias, saiu para fora da arca.

20 E edificou Noé um altar ao Senhor; e tomou de todo animal limpo e de toda ave limpa e ofereceu holocaustos sobre o altar. 21 E o Senhor cheirou o suave cheiro e disse o Senhor em seu coração: Não tornarei mais a amaldiçoar a terra por causa do homem, porque a imaginação do coração do homem é má desde a sua meninice; nem tornarei mais a ferir todo vivente, como fiz. 22 Enquanto a terra durar, sementeira e sega, e frio e calor, e verão e inverno, e dia e noite não cessarão.

1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters were 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, gradually returning; and the waters were abated after the end of the hundred and fifty days.

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 He then 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 resting–place for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him unto the ark; for there was water on the face of the whole earth; then he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her into the ark.

10 And he stayed yet another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.

11 And the dove came in to him at the time of the evening; and, lo, an olive–leaf plucked off was in her mouth; 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; but she returned not again unto him any more.

13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that 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 perfectly dried up.

15 And God spoke unto Noah, saying,

16 Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.

17 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, bring forth with thee; that they may breed abundantly on 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, whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark.

20 And Noah built an altar unto the Lord, and he took of every clean cattle, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt–offerings on the altar.

21 And the Lord smelled the sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for the sake of man; although 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 All the while the earth remaineth, seed–time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.
