创世记 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
洪水消退
8 上帝眷顾挪亚及方舟里的野兽和牲畜，使风吹在大地上，水便开始消退。 2 深渊的泉源和天上的水闸都关闭了，大雨也停了。 3 地上的洪水慢慢消退，过了一百五十天，水退下去了。 4 七月十七日，方舟停在亚拉腊山上。 5 水继续消退，到十月一日，山顶都露出来了。
6 又过了四十天，挪亚打开方舟的窗户， 7 放出一只乌鸦。它一直在空中飞来飞去，直到地上的水都干了。 8 后来，挪亚放出一只鸽子，以便了解地面的水是否已经消退。 9 但遍地都是水，鸽子找不到歇脚的地方，就飞回了方舟，挪亚伸手把鸽子接进方舟里。 10 过了七天，挪亚再把鸽子放出去。 11 到了黄昏，鸽子飞回来，嘴里衔着一片新拧下来的橄榄叶，挪亚便知道地上的水已经退了。 12 等了七天，他又放出鸽子，这一次，鸽子没有回来。
13 挪亚六百零一岁那年的一月一日，地上的水干了。挪亚打开方舟的盖观望，看见地面都干了。 14 到了二月二十七日，大地完全干了。 15 上帝对挪亚说： 16 “你与妻子、儿子和儿媳可以出方舟了。 17 你要把方舟里的飞禽走兽及爬虫等所有动物都带出来，让它们在地上多多繁殖。” 18 于是，挪亚与妻子、儿子和儿媳都出了方舟。 19 方舟里的飞禽走兽和爬虫等所有地上的动物，都按种类出了方舟。
挪亚献祭
20 挪亚为耶和华筑了一座坛，在上面焚烧各种洁净的牲畜和飞鸟作为燔祭。 21 耶和华闻到这燔祭的馨香，心想：“虽然人从小就心存恶念，但我再不会因为人的缘故而咒诅大地，再不会毁灭一切生灵。 22 只要大地尚存，播种收割、夏热冬寒、白昼黑夜必永不停息。”

God Remembers Noah
8 Elohim remembered Noah and all the wild and domestic animals with him in the ship. So Elohim made a wind blow over the earth, and the water started to go down. 2 The deep springs and the sky had been shut, and the rain had stopped pouring. 3 The water began to recede from the land. At the end of 150 days the water had decreased. 4 On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ship came to rest in the mountains of Ararat. 5 The water kept decreasing until the tenth month. On the first day of the tenth month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
6 After 40 more days Noah opened the window he had made in the ship 7 and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the water on the land had dried up. 8 Next, he sent out a dove to see if the water was gone from the surface of the ground. 9 The dove couldn’t find a place to land because the water was still all over the earth. So it came back to Noah in the ship. He reached out and brought the dove back into the ship. 10 He waited seven more days and again sent the dove out of the ship. 11 The dove came to him in the evening, and in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf. Then Noah knew that the water was gone from the earth. 12 He waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but it never came back to him.
13 By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year, the water on the land had dried up. Noah opened the top of the ship, looked out, and saw the surface of the ground. 14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the land was dry.
15 Then Elohim spoke to Noah, 16 “Come out of the ship with your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives. 17 Bring out every animal that’s with you: birds, domestic animals, and every creature that crawls on the earth. Be fertile, increase in number, and spread over the earth.”
18 So Noah came out with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives. 19 Every animal, crawling creature, and bird—everything that moves on the earth—came out of the ship, one kind after another.
20 Noah built an altar to Yahweh. On it he made a burnt offering of each type of clean[a] animal and clean bird. 21 Yahweh smelled the soothing aroma. Yahweh said to himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of humans, even though from birth their hearts are set on nothing but evil. I will never again kill every living creature as I have just done.
22 As long as the earth exists,
planting and harvesting,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night
will never stop.”
