1 And the Lord said to Noah, Take all your family and go into the ark, for you only in this generation have I seen to be upright.

2 Of every clean beast you will take seven males and seven females, and of the beasts which are not clean, two, the male and his female;

3 And of the birds of the air, seven males and seven females, so that their seed may still be living on the face of the earth.

4 For after seven days I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, for the destruction of every living thing which I have made on the face of the earth.

5 And Noah did everything which the Lord said he was to do.

6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the waters came flowing over all the earth.

7 And Noah, with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives, went into the ark because of the flowing of the waters.

8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts which are not clean, and of birds, and of everything which goes on the earth,

9 In twos, male and female, they went into the ark with Noah, as God had said.

10 And after the seven days, the waters came over all the earth.

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great deep came bursting through, and the windows of heaven were open;

12 And rain came down on the earth for forty days and forty nights.

13 On the same day Noah, with Shem, Ham, and Japheth, his sons, and his wife and his sons' wives, went into the ark;

14 And with them, every sort of beast and cattle, and every sort of thing which goes on the earth, and every sort of bird.

15 They went with Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh in which is the breath of life.

16 Male and female of all flesh went in, as God had said, and the ark was shut by the Lord.

17 And for forty days the waters were over all the earth; and the waters were increased so that the ark was lifted up high over the earth.

18 And the waters overcame everything and were increased greatly on the earth, and the ark was resting on the face of the waters.

19 And the waters overcame everything on the earth; and all the mountains under heaven were covered.

20 The waters went fifteen cubits higher, till all the mountains were covered.

21 And destruction came on every living thing moving on the earth, birds and cattle and beasts and everything which went on the earth, and every man.

22 Everything on the dry land, in which was the breath of life, came to its end.

23 Every living thing on the face of all the earth, man and cattle and things moving on the face of the earth, and birds of the air, came to destruction: only Noah and those who were with him in the ark, were kept from death.

24 And the waters were over the earth a hundred and fifty days.

1 耶和华对挪亚说： "你和你全家都要进入方舟， 因为在这世代中， 我见只有你在我面前是个义人。

2 洁净的牲畜， 你要各带七公七母； 不洁净的牲畜， 你要各带一公一母；

3 空中的飞鸟， 也要各带七公七母， 以便传种， 活在全地上；

4 因为再过七天， 我就要一连四十昼夜降雨在地上， 我把所造的一切生物都从地上除灭。"

5 挪亚就照着耶和华吩咐他的一切作了。

6 洪水临到地上的时候， 挪亚刚好是六百岁。

7 挪亚带着他的儿子、妻子和儿媳一同进了方舟， 躲避洪水。

8 洁净的牲畜和不洁净的牲畜， 飞鸟和各种在地上爬行的动物，

9 都是一公一母、一对一对来到挪亚那里， 进入方舟， 是照着 神吩咐挪亚的。

10 那七天一过， 洪水就临到地上了。

11 挪亚六百岁那一年， 二月十七日那一天， 所有大渊的泉源都裂开了， 天上的窗户都敞开了。

12 大雨倾盆下在地上， 一连四十昼夜。

13 就在那一天， 挪亚带着他的儿子闪、含、雅弗， 以及他的妻子和三个儿媳， 一同进了方舟。

14 他们一家， 所有走兽各从其类， 所有牲畜各从其类， 所有在地上爬行的动物各从其类， 所有有羽有翼的飞禽各从其类，

15 有生命、有气息的， 都是一对一对来到挪亚那里， 进入方舟。

16 那些进去的， 都是有生命的， 一公一母进去， 是照着 神吩咐挪亚的。耶和华跟着就把方舟关起来。

17 洪水就临到地上四十天； 水不断上涨， 把方舟升起， 于是方舟就从地上浮起来。

18 水势甚大， 在地上大大上涨， 方舟就在水面上漂来漂去。

19 水势在地面上越来越大， 天下所有的高山都被淹没了。

20 水势浩大， 比众山高出七公尺， 山岭都被淹没了。

21 凡有生命仍在地上行动的， 无论是飞鸟或是牲畜， 走兽或是在地上滋生的各样小生物， 以及所有的人都死了；

22 仍在陆地上， 鼻孔里有气息的生灵都死了。

23 耶和华把地上的所有生物， 从人类到牲畜， 爬行动物， 以及空中的飞鸟都除灭了； 于是， 这一切都从地上消灭了。只留下挪亚和那些与挪亚一同在方舟里的人。

24 水势浩大， 在地上共一百五十天。
