创世记 6-8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
人类的邪恶
6 人类在地上逐渐增多，生了女儿。 2 上帝的儿子们[a]看见人的女儿漂亮，就随意选来做妻子。 3 耶和华说：“人既然是血肉之躯，我的灵不会永远住在人的里面，然而人还可以活一百二十年。” 4 从那时起，地上出现了一些巨人，他们是上古有名的勇士，是上帝的儿子和人的女儿所生的后代。
5 耶和华看见人罪恶深重，心中终日思想恶事， 6 就后悔在地上造了人，心里伤痛， 7 说：“我要把所造的人从地上除掉，连同一切飞禽走兽和爬虫都除掉，我后悔造了他们。” 8 只有挪亚在耶和华面前蒙恩。
上帝命挪亚造方舟
9 以下是有关挪亚的记载。
挪亚是个义人，在当时的世代是个纯全无过的人，他与上帝同行。 10 挪亚生了三个儿子：闪、含和雅弗。
11 当时的世界在上帝眼中非常败坏，充满了暴行。 12 上帝看见世界败坏了，因为世人行为败坏。 13 祂对挪亚说：“世人恶贯满盈，他们的结局到了。我要把他们跟大地一起毁灭。 14 你要为自己用歌斐木建造一艘方舟，里面要有舱房，内外都要涂上柏油。 15 你建造的方舟要长一百三十三米，宽二十二米，高十三米。 16 舟顶要有五十厘米高的透光口，门开在方舟的侧面，整艘方舟要分为上、中、下三层。 17 看啊，我要使洪水在地上泛滥，毁灭天下。地上一切有气息的生灵都要灭亡。 18 但我要跟你立约，你与妻子、儿子和儿媳都可以进方舟。 19 每种动物你要带两只进方舟，雌雄各一只，好保存它们的生命。 20 各种飞禽走兽和爬虫要按种类每样一对到你那里，好保住生命。 21 你要为自己和这些动物预备各种食物，贮存起来。”
22 挪亚就照着上帝的吩咐把事情都办好了。
洪水泛滥
7 耶和华对挪亚说：“你和你一家都进入方舟，因为这个世代只有你在我眼中是义人。 2 洁净的动物，你要每样带七公七母，不洁净的动物每样带一公一母， 3 飞鸟每样带七公七母，叫它们以后可以在地上繁衍后代。 4 因为七天之后，我要在地上降雨四十昼夜，毁灭我所造的一切生灵。” 5 凡耶和华所吩咐的，挪亚都照办了。
6 洪水泛滥的那一年，挪亚正好六百岁。 7 挪亚与妻子、儿子们和儿媳们都进了方舟，躲避洪水。 8 洁净的动物、不洁净的动物、飞禽和地上的一切爬虫， 9 都一公一母成对地到挪亚那里，进了方舟，正如上帝对挪亚的吩咐。 10 那七天过后，洪水在地上泛滥起来。
11 挪亚六百岁那年的二月[b]十七日，所有深渊的泉源都裂开了，天上的水闸也打开了， 12 地上倾盆大雨降了四十昼夜。 13 那天，挪亚与他的儿子闪、含和雅弗，还有挪亚的妻子和三个儿媳妇都进了方舟。 14 所有的野兽、牲畜、地上的爬虫和飞鸟都按种类进入方舟。 15-16 这些动物都一公一母成对地到挪亚那里，进入方舟，正如上帝对挪亚的吩咐。耶和华关上了方舟的门。
17 洪水在地上泛滥了四十天，水不断地往上涨，把方舟漂了起来。 18 洪水来势汹汹，淹没大地，方舟漂浮在水面上。 19 水势越来越大，把天下各处的高山都淹没了。 20 水淹没了群山，水面高出群山七米。 21 世上所有的飞禽、走兽、牲畜、爬虫和人类都死了。 22 在陆地上所有用鼻孔呼吸的生灵都死了。 23 地上的人类、飞禽走兽和爬虫等一切生灵都被毁灭了，只剩下挪亚和跟他同在方舟里的生灵。 24 洪水淹没大地一百五十天。
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。”

人類的邪惡
6 人類在地上逐漸增多，生了女兒。 2 上帝的兒子們[a]看見人的女兒漂亮，就隨意選來做妻子。 3 耶和華說：「人既然是血肉之軀，我的靈不會永遠住在人的裡面，然而人還可以活一百二十年。」 4 從那時起，地上出現了一些巨人，他們是上古有名的勇士，是上帝的兒子和人的女兒所生的後代。
5 耶和華看見人罪惡深重，心中終日思想惡事， 6 就後悔在地上造了人，心裡傷痛， 7 說：「我要把所造的人從地上除掉，連同一切飛禽走獸和爬蟲都除掉，我後悔造了他們。」 8 只有挪亞在耶和華面前蒙恩。
上帝命挪亞造方舟
9 以下是有關挪亞的記載。
挪亞是個義人，在當時的世代是個純全無過的人，他與上帝同行。 10 挪亞生了三個兒子：閃、含和雅弗。
11 當時的世界在上帝眼中非常敗壞，充滿了暴行。 12 上帝看見世界敗壞了，因為世人行為敗壞。 13 祂對挪亞說：「世人惡貫滿盈，他們的結局到了。我要把他們跟大地一起毀滅。 14 你要為自己用歌斐木建造一艘方舟，裡面要有艙房，內外都要塗上柏油。 15 你建造的方舟要長一百三十三米，寬二十二米，高十三米。 16 舟頂要有五十釐米高的透光口，門開在方舟的側面，整艘方舟要分為上、中、下三層。 17 看啊，我要使洪水在地上氾濫，毀滅天下。地上一切有氣息的生靈都要滅亡。 18 但我要跟你立約，你與妻子、兒子和兒媳都可以進方舟。 19 每種動物你要帶兩隻進方舟，雌雄各一隻，好保存牠們的生命。 20 各種飛禽走獸和爬蟲要按種類每樣一對到你那裡，好保住生命。 21 你要為自己和這些動物預備各種食物，貯存起來。」
22 挪亞就照著上帝的吩咐把事情都辦好了。
洪水氾濫
7 耶和華對挪亞說：「你和你一家都進入方舟，因為這個世代只有你在我眼中是義人。 2 潔淨的動物，你要每樣帶七公七母，不潔淨的動物每樣帶一公一母， 3 飛鳥每樣帶七公七母，叫牠們以後可以在地上繁衍後代。 4 因為七天之後，我要在地上降雨四十晝夜，毀滅我所造的一切生靈。」 5 凡耶和華所吩咐的，挪亞都照辦了。
6 洪水氾濫的那一年，挪亞正好六百歲。 7 挪亞與妻子、兒子們和兒媳們都進了方舟，躲避洪水。 8 潔淨的動物、不潔淨的動物、飛禽和地上的一切爬蟲， 9 都一公一母成對地到挪亞那裡，進了方舟，正如上帝對挪亞的吩咐。 10 那七天過後，洪水在地上氾濫起來。
11 挪亞六百歲那年的二月[b]十七日，所有深淵的泉源都裂開了，天上的水閘也打開了， 12 地上傾盆大雨降了四十晝夜。 13 那天，挪亞與他的兒子閃、含和雅弗，還有挪亞的妻子和三個兒媳婦都進了方舟。 14 所有的野獸、牲畜、地上的爬蟲和飛鳥都按種類進入方舟。 15-16 這些動物都一公一母成對地到挪亞那裡，進入方舟，正如上帝對挪亞的吩咐。耶和華關上了方舟的門。
17 洪水在地上氾濫了四十天，水不斷地往上漲，把方舟漂了起來。 18 洪水來勢洶洶，淹沒大地，方舟漂浮在水面上。 19 水勢越來越大，把天下各處的高山都淹沒了。 20 水淹沒了群山，水面高出群山七米。 21 世上所有的飛禽、走獸、牲畜、爬蟲和人類都死了。 22 在陸地上所有用鼻孔呼吸的生靈都死了。 23 地上的人類、飛禽走獸和爬蟲等一切生靈都被毀滅了，只剩下挪亞和跟他同在方舟裡的生靈。 24 洪水淹沒大地一百五十天。
洪水消退
8 上帝眷顧挪亞及方舟裡的野獸和牲畜，使風吹在大地上，水便開始消退。 2 深淵的泉源和天上的水閘都關閉了，大雨也停了。 3 地上的洪水慢慢消退，過了一百五十天，水退下去了。 4 七月十七日，方舟停在亞拉臘山上。 5 水繼續消退，到十月一日，山頂都露出來了。
6 又過了四十天，挪亞打開方舟的窗戶， 7 放出一隻烏鴉。牠一直在空中飛來飛去，直到地上的水都乾了。 8 後來，挪亞放出一隻鴿子，以便瞭解地面的水是否已經消退。 9 但遍地都是水，鴿子找不到歇腳的地方，就飛回了方舟，挪亞伸手把鴿子接進方舟裡。 10 過了七天，挪亞再把鴿子放出去。 11 到了黃昏，鴿子飛回來，嘴裡啣著一片新擰下來的橄欖葉，挪亞便知道地上的水已經退了。 12 等了七天，他又放出鴿子，這一次，鴿子沒有回來。
13 挪亞六百零一歲那年的一月一日，地上的水乾了。挪亞打開方舟的蓋觀望，看見地面都乾了。 14 到了二月二十七日，大地完全乾了。 15 上帝對挪亞說： 16 「你與妻子、兒子和兒媳可以出方舟了。 17 你要把方舟裡的飛禽走獸及爬蟲等所有動物都帶出來，讓牠們在地上多多繁殖。」 18 於是，挪亞與妻子、兒子和兒媳都出了方舟。 19 方舟裡的飛禽走獸和爬蟲等所有地上的動物，都按種類出了方舟。
挪亞獻祭
20 挪亞為耶和華築了一座壇，在上面焚燒各種潔淨的牲畜和飛鳥作為燔祭。 21 耶和華聞到這燔祭的馨香，心想：「雖然人從小就心存惡念，但我再不會因為人的緣故而咒詛大地，再不會毀滅一切生靈。 22 只要大地尚存，播種收割、夏熱冬寒、白晝黑夜必永不停息。」
Genesis 6-8
King James Version
6 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
7 And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
5 And Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him.
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon 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 fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, 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 upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 In the selfsame 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 his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.
17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, 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 upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
8 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;
2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
15 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
20 And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
