创世记 8
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
洪水消退
8 神顾念挪亚和所有与他一同在方舟里的走兽和牲畜； 神使风吹过大地，水就渐渐退了。 2 深渊的泉源和天上的窗户，都关闭起来；天降的大雨也止住了。 3 水从地上不断退去，过了一百五十天，水就消退了。 4 七月十七日，方舟停在亚拉腊山上。 5 水继续消退，直到十月；到了十月初一，山顶都露出来了。
6 过了四十天，挪亚开了他所做的方舟的窗户， 7 放了一只乌鸦出去。地上的水还没有干，那乌鸦就一直飞来飞去。 8 他又放了一只鸽子出去，要看看水从地上退了没有。 9 因为遍地都是水，那鸽子找不着歇脚的地方，就回到挪亚的方舟那里；于是，挪亚伸出手去，把鸽子接进方舟里来。 10 他再等了七天，又把鸽子从方舟里放出去。 11 到了黄昏的时候，鸽子回到挪亚那里，嘴里叼着一块新摘下来的橄榄树叶，挪亚就知道地上的水已经退了。 12 挪亚再等了七天，又把鸽子放出去，鸽子就再没有回到他那里。
13 到挪亚六百零一岁的时候，就在正月初一，地上的水都干了；挪亚移开方舟的盖看看，见地面已经干了。 14 到了二月二十七日，大地就都干了。
挪亚出方舟
15 神告诉挪亚说： 16 “你要从方舟出来，你和你的妻子、儿子，以及儿媳都要和你一同出来。 17 所有和你在一起有生命的活物：飞鸟、牲畜和一切在地上爬行的动物，你都要带出来，使牠们可以在地上滋生、繁殖，也可以在地上增多。” 18 于是，挪亚出来了，他的儿子、妻子和儿媳都与他一同出来了； 19 各样走兽、牲畜、飞禽和各样在地上爬行的动物，各从自己的族类，都出了方舟。
挪亚献祭
20 挪亚给耶和华筑了一座祭坛，拿各样洁净的牲畜和飞禽，献在祭坛上作为燔祭。 21 耶和华闻了那馨香的气味，就心里说：“我必不再因人的缘故咒诅这地（因为人从小时开始心中所想的都是邪恶的）；我也必不再照着我作过的，击杀各样的活物。
22 大地尚存之日，
播种、收割，
寒暑、
冬夏、
白昼和黑夜
必然循环不息。”

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。”
Genesis 8
Contemporary English Version
The Water Goes Down
8 God did not forget about Noah and the animals with him in the boat. So God made a wind blow, and the water started going down. 2 God stopped up the places where the water had been gushing out from under the earth. He also closed up the sky, and the rain stopped. 3 For 150 days the water slowly went down. 4 Then on the seventeenth day of the seventh month of the year, the boat came to rest somewhere in the Ararat mountains. 5 The water kept going down, and the mountain tops could be seen on the first day of the tenth month.
6-7 Forty days later Noah opened a window to send out a raven, but it kept flying around until the water had dried up. 8 Noah wanted to find out if the water had gone down, so he sent out a dove. 9 Deep water was still everywhere, and when the dove could not find a place to land, it flew back to the boat. Then Noah held out his hand and helped it back in.
10 Seven days later Noah sent the dove out again. 11 It returned in the evening, holding in its beak a green leaf from an olive tree. Noah knew the water was finally going down. 12 He waited seven more days before sending the dove out again, and this time it did not return.
13 Noah was now 601 years old. And by the first day of that year, almost all the water had gone away. Noah made an opening in the roof of the boat[a] and saw that the ground was getting dry. 14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was completely dry.
15 God said to Noah, 16 “You, your wife, your sons, and your daughters-in-law may now leave the boat. 17 Let out the birds, animals, and reptiles, so they can mate and live all over the earth.” 18 After Noah and his family had left the boat, 19 the living creatures left in groups of their own kind.
The Lord's Promise for the Earth
20 Noah built an altar where he could offer sacrifices to the Lord. Then he offered on the altar one of each kind of animal and bird that could be used for a sacrifice.[b] 21 The smell of the burning offering pleased the Lord, and he said:
Never again will I punish the earth for the sinful things its people do. All of them have evil thoughts from the time they are young, but I will never destroy everything that breathes, as I did this time.
22 As long as the earth remains,
there will be planting
and harvest,
cold and heat;
winter and summer,
day and night.
