1 Então o Senhor disse a Noé: "Entre na arca, você e toda a sua família, porque você é o único justo que encontrei nesta geração.2 Leve com você sete casais de cada espécie de animal puro, macho e fêmea, e um casal de cada espécie de animal impuro, macho e fêmea,3 e leve também sete casais de aves de cada espécie, macho e fêmea, a fim de preservá-las em toda a terra.4 Daqui a sete dias farei chover sobre a terra quarenta dias e quarenta noites, e farei desaparecer da face da terra todos os seres vivos que fiz".5 E Noé fez tudo como o Senhor lhe tinha ordenado.6 Noé tinha seiscentos anos de idade quando as águas do Dilúvio vieram sobre a terra.7 Noé, seus filhos, sua mulher e as mulheres de seus filhos entraram na arca, por causa das águas do Dilúvio.8 Casais de animais grandes, puros e impuros, de aves e de todos os animais pequenos que se movem rente ao chão9 vieram a Noé e entraram na arca, como Deus tinha ordenado a Noé.10 E depois dos sete dias, as águas do Dilúvio vieram sobre a terra.11 No dia em que Noé completou seiscentos anos, um mês e dezessete dias, nesse mesmo dia todas as fontes das grandes profundezas jorraram, e as comportas do céu se abriram.12 E a chuva caiu sobre a terra quarenta dias e quarenta noites.13 Naquele mesmo dia, Noé e seus filhos, Sem, Cam e Jafé, com sua mulher e com as mulheres de seus três filhos, entraram na arca.14 Com eles entraram todos os animais de acordo com as suas espécies: todos os animais selvagens, todos os rebanhos domésticos, todos os demais seres vivos que se movem rente ao chão e todas as criaturas que têm asas: todas as aves e todos os outros animais que voam.15 Casais de todas as criaturas que tinham fôlego de vida vieram a Noé e entraram na arca.16 Os animais que entraram foram um macho e uma fêmea de cada ser vivo, conforme Deus ordenara a Noé. Então o Senhor fechou a porta.17 Quarenta dias durou o Dilúvio sobre a terra, e as águas aumentaram e elevaram a arca acima da terra.18 As águas prevaleceram, aumentando muito sobre a terra, e a arca flutuava na superfície das águas.19 As águas dominavam cada vez mais a terra, e foram cobertas todas as altas montanhas debaixo do céu.20 As águas subiram até quase sete metros acima das montanhas.21 Todos os seres vivos que se movem sobre a terra pereceram: aves, rebanhos domésticos, animais selvagens, todas as pequenas criaturas que povoam a terra e toda a humanidade.22 Tudo o que havia em terra seca e tinha nas narinas o fôlego de vida morreu.23 Todos os seres vivos foram exterminados da face da terra; tanto os homens, como os animais grandes, os animais pequenos que se movem rente ao chão e as aves do céu foram exterminados da terra. Só restaram Noé e aqueles que com ele estavam na arca.24 E as águas prevaleceram sobre a terra cento e cinqüenta dias.

1 And Yahweh said to Noah, Come you and all your house into the ark; for you I have seen righteous before me in this generation.2 Of every clean beast you will take to you 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 on the face of all the earth.4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made I will destroy from off the face of the ground.5 And Noah did according to all that Yahweh commanded him.6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood was on 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 creeps on the ground,9 there went in two and two to 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 on 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 on the earth forty days and forty nights.13 In the very same 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 creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.15 And they went in to Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh in which is the breath of life.16 And those that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him: and Yahweh shut him in.17 And the flood was forty days on the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.18 And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ark went on the face of the waters.19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly on 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 on the earth, both birds, and cattle, and beasts, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and all of 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 on the face of the ground, from man to cattle, to creeping things, and to birds of the heavens; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only was left, and those that were with him in the ark.24 And the waters prevailed on the earth a hundred and fifty days.
