1 Depois o Senhor Deus disse a Noé:

— Entre na barca, você e toda a sua família, pois eu tenho visto que você é a única pessoa que faz o que é certo. 2 Leve junto com você sete casais de cada espécie de animal puro e um casal de cada espécie de animal impuro. 3 Leve também sete casais de cada espécie de ave para que se conservem as espécies que existem na terra. 4 Pois daqui a sete dias eu vou fazer chover durante quarenta dias e quarenta noites. Assim vou acabar com todos os seres vivos que criei.

5 E Noé fez tudo conforme o que o Senhor Deus havia mandado. 6 Noé tinha seiscentos anos de idade quando as águas do dilúvio cobriram a terra. 7 A fim de escapar do dilúvio, ele entrou na barca junto com os seus filhos, a sua mulher e as suas noras. 8 Os animais puros e os impuros, os que se arrastam pelo chão e as aves 9 entraram com Noé na barca de dois em dois, macho e fêmea, como Deus havia mandado. 10 Sete dias depois, as águas do dilúvio começaram a cobrir a terra.

11 Nesse tempo Noé tinha seiscentos anos. No dia dezessete do segundo mês, se arrebentaram todas as fontes do grande mar , e foram abertas as janelas do céu, 12 e caiu chuva sobre a terra durante quarenta dias e quarenta noites. 13 Nesse mesmo dia Noé e a sua mulher entraram na barca junto com os seus filhos Sem, Cam e Jafé e as suas mulheres. 14 Com eles entraram animais de todas as espécies: os domésticos e os selvagens, os que se arrastam pelo chão e as aves. 15 Todos os animais entraram com Noé na barca, de dois em dois. 16 Entraram machos e fêmeas de cada espécie, de acordo com o que Deus havia mandado Noé fazer. Aí o Senhor fechou a porta da barca.

17 O dilúvio durou quarenta dias. A água subiu e levantou a barca, e ela começou a boiar. 18 A água foi subindo, e a barca continuou a boiar. 19 A água subiu tanto, que cobriu todas as montanhas mais altas da terra. 20 E depois ainda subiu mais sete metros. 21 Morreram todos os seres vivos que havia na terra, isto é, as aves, os animais domésticos, os animais selvagens, os animais que se arrastam pelo chão e os seres humanos. 22 Morreu tudo o que havia na terra, tudo o que tinha vida e respirava. 23 Somente Noé e os que estavam com ele na barca ficaram vivos. O resto foi destruído, isto é, os seres humanos, os animais domésticos, os animais selvagens e os que se arrastam pelo chão e as aves. 24 Só cento e cinquenta dias depois é que a água começou a baixar.

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.
