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 Yahweh said to Noah, Enter thou and all thy house, into the ark,for, thee, have I seen righteous before me, in this generation.

2 Of all the clean beasts, shalt thou take to thee by sevens, a male and his female,and, of the beasts that are not clean,, shall be two a male and his female.

3 Also of the bird of the heavens, by sevens, male and female,to keep alive a seed on the face of all the earth.

4 For in seven days more, I, am sending rain on the earth, forty days and forty nights,so will I wipe out all the living things which I have made, from off the face of the ground.

5 And Noah did,according to all that Yahweh commanded him.

6 Now, Noah, was six hundred years old,when, the flood, came, even waters on the earth.

7 So Noah entered, and his sons and his wife and his sons wives with him into the ark,from before the waters of the flood,

8 Of the beasts that were clean, and of the beasts that were not clean,and of the birds, and everything that creepeth on the ground,

9 two and two, went they in unto Noah, into the ark male and female,,as God commanded Noah.

10 And it came to pass, in the seven days,that the waters of the flood, came on the earth.

11 In the six hundredth year, the year of the life of Noah. in the second month on the seventeenth day of the month on this day, were burst open all the fountains of the great roaring deep, and the windows of the heavens, were set open.

12 (And it came to pass that the heavy rain was on the earth,forty days and forty nights.)

13 On this selfsame day, entered Noah, and Shem and Ham and Japheth. Noahs sons,and Noahs wife, and his sons three wives with them into the ark:

14 they, and all the wild-beasts after their kind and all the tame-beasts after their kind, and all the creeping things that creep on the earth after their kind,and all the birds after their kind, every bird of every wing.

15 So they entered in unto Noah, into the ark,two and two of all flesh, wherein was the spirit of life.

16 And, they that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered, as God commanded him,and Yahweh shut him in round about.

17 And it came to pass, that the flood was forty days on the earth,and the waters increased and bare up the ark, and it was lifted high above the earth,

18 And the waters prevailed and increased greatly, on the earth,and the ark went its way on the face of the waters.

19 Yea the waters, prevailed very greatly, on the earth,so that all the high mountains became covered, that were under all the heavens:

20 fifteen cubits upwards, prevailed the waters, so that the mountains became covered.

21 And all flesh ceased to breathe that moved on the earth, of birds and of tame-beasts and of wild-beasts, and of all the swarming things that swarm on the earth,land all mankind.

22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life of all that were on the dry ground died.

23 Thus was wiped out all that existed on the face of the ground, from man unto beast unto creeping thing, and unto the bird of the heavens, thus were they wiped out from the earth,so that there was leftonly Noah and they that were with him in the ark.

24 Thus prevailed the waters on the earth,a hundred and fifty days.
