1 O Senhor disse a Noé:

— Entre na arca, você e toda a sua família, porque reconheço que você tem sido justo diante de mim no meio desta geração. 2 De todo animal puro leve com você sete pares: o macho e sua fêmea. Mas dos animais impuros leve um par: o macho e sua fêmea. 3 Também das aves dos céus leve sete pares: macho e fêmea, para se conservar a semente sobre a face da terra. 4 Porque, daqui a sete dias, farei chover sobre a terra durante quarenta dias e quarenta noites; e farei desaparecer da superfície da terra todos os seres que fiz.

5 E Noé fez tudo como o Senhor lhe havia ordenado. 6 Noé tinha seiscentos anos de idade quando as águas do dilúvio inundaram a terra. 7 Por causa das águas do dilúvio, Noé entrou na arca, ele com os seus filhos, a sua mulher e as mulheres dos seus filhos. 8 Dos animais puros, dos animais impuros, das aves e de todo animal que rasteja sobre a terra, 9 entraram para junto de Noé, na arca, de dois em dois, macho e fêmea, como Deus havia ordenado a Noé. 10 E aconteceu que, depois de sete dias, vieram sobre a terra as águas do dilúvio.

11 No ano seiscentos da vida de Noé, aos dezessete dias do segundo mês, nesse dia romperam-se todas as fontes do grande abismo, e as comportas dos céus se abriram, 12 e caiu chuva sobre a terra durante quarenta dias e quarenta noites. 13 Nesse mesmo dia entraram na arca Noé, os seus filhos Sem, Cam e Jafé, a mulher dele e as mulheres dos seus filhos. 14 Entraram eles e todos os animais segundo as suas espécies, todo gado segundo as suas espécies, todos os animais que rastejam sobre a terra segundo as suas espécies, todas as aves segundo as suas espécies, todos os pássaros e tudo o que tem asa. 15 De todos os seres em que havia fôlego de vida, entraram na arca de dois em dois, para junto de Noé; 16 eram macho e fêmea os que entraram de todos os seres vivos, como Deus havia ordenado a Noé; e o Senhor fechou a porta da arca.

17 O dilúvio durou quarenta dias sobre a terra. As águas subiram e elevaram a arca sobre a terra. 18 As águas prevaleceram e aumentaram muito na terra; a arca, porém, flutuava sobre as águas. 19 As águas prevaleceram excessivamente sobre a terra e cobriram todos os altos montes que havia debaixo do céu. 20 As águas ficaram sete metros acima deles; e os montes foram cobertos. 21 E morreram todos os seres vivos que se moviam sobre a terra: aves, animais domésticos, animais selvagens, e todos os enxames de criaturas que povoam a terra, e todos os seres humanos. 22 Tudo o que havia em terra seca e que tinha fôlego de vida em suas narinas morreu. 23 Assim, foram exterminados todos os seres que havia sobre a face da terra: as pessoas e os animais, os seres que rastejam e as aves dos céus foram extintos da terra; ficou somente Noé e os que com ele estavam na arca. 24 E as águas prevaleceram sobre a terra durante cento e cinquenta dias.

1 And Jehovah said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven and seven, the male and his female; and of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female: 3 of the birds also of the heavens, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the ground. 5 And Noah did according unto all that Jehovah commanded him.

6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creepeth upon the ground, 9 there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah. 10 And it came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; 14 they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort. 15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life. 16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him: and Jehovah shut him in. 17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth. 18 And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered. 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. 21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both birds, and cattle, and beasts, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: 22 all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died. 23 And every living thing was destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only was left, and they that were with him in the ark. 24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
