洪水氾濫

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。 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, 飛鳥每樣帶七公七母,叫牠們以後可以在地上繁衍後代。 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。」 凡耶和華所吩咐的,挪亞都照辦了。

洪水氾濫的那一年,挪亞正好六百歲。 挪亞與妻子、兒子們和兒媳們都進了方舟,躲避洪水。 潔淨的動物、不潔淨的動物、飛禽和地上的一切爬蟲, 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[a]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。

And Jehovah saith to Noah, `Come in, thou and all thy house, unto the ark, for thee I have seen righteous before Me in this generation;

of all the clean beasts thou dost take to thee seven pairs, a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean two, a male and its female;

also, of fowl of the heavens seven pairs, a male and a female, to keep alive seed on the face of all the earth;

for after other seven days I am sending rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.'

And Noah doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him:

and Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the deluge of waters hath been upon the earth.

And Noah goeth in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, unto the ark, from the presence of the waters of the deluge;

of the clean beasts and of the beasts that [are] not clean, and of the fowl, and of every thing that is creeping upon the ground,

two by two they have come in unto Noah, unto the ark, a male and a female, as God hath commanded Noah.

10 And it cometh to pass, after the seventh of the days, that waters of the deluge have been on the earth.

11 In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in this day have been broken up all fountains of the great deep, and the net-work of the heavens hath been opened,

12 and the shower is on the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 In this self-same day went in Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, sons of Noah, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them, unto the ark;

14 they, and every living creature after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind, every bird -- every wing.

15 And they come in unto Noah, unto the ark, two by two of all the flesh in which [is] a living spirit;

16 and they that are coming in, male and female of all flesh, have come in as God hath commanded him, and Jehovah doth close [it] for him.

17 And the deluge is forty days on the earth, and the waters multiply, and lift up the ark, and it is raised up from off the earth;

18 and the waters are mighty, and multiply exceedingly upon the earth; and the ark goeth on the face of the waters.

19 And the waters have been very very mighty on the earth, and covered are all the high mountains which [are] under the whole heavens;

20 fifteen cubits upwards have the waters become mighty, and the mountains are covered;

21 and expire doth all flesh that is moving on the earth, among fowl, and among cattle, and among beasts, and among all the teeming things which are teeming on the earth, and all mankind;

22 all in whose nostrils [is] breath of a living spirit -- of all that [is] in the dry land -- have died.

23 And wiped away is all the substance that is on the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens; yea, they are wiped away from the earth, and only Noah is left, and those who [are] with him in the ark;

24 and the waters are mighty on the earth a hundred and fifty days.

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.

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.

Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

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.

And Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him.

And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

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.

Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,

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.

¶ Y el SEÑOR dijo a Noé: Entra tú y toda tu casa en el arca, porque a ti he visto justo delante de mí en esta generación.

De todo animal limpio te tomarás de siete pares, macho y su hembra; mas de los animales que no son limpios, dos, macho y su hembra.

También de las aves de los cielos de siete pares, macho y hembra; para guardar en vida la simiente sobre la faz de toda la tierra.

Porque pasados aún siete días, yo haré llover sobre la tierra cuarenta días, y cuarenta noches; y raeré toda sustancia que hice de sobre la faz de la tierra.

¶ E hizo Noé conforme a todo lo que le mandó el SEÑOR.

Y siendo Noé de seiscientos años, el diluvio de las aguas vino sobre la tierra.

Y Noé, y sus hijos, y su mujer, y las mujeres de sus hijos vinieron con él al arca, por causa de las aguas del diluvio.

De los animales limpios, y de los animales que no eran limpios, y de las aves, y de todo lo que anda arrastrándose sobre la tierra,

De dos en dos entraron a Noé en el arca: macho y hembra, como mandó Dios a Noé.

10 Y fue, que al séptimo día las aguas del diluvio vinieron sobre la tierra.

11 ¶ El año seiscientos de la vida de Noé, en el mes segundo a los diecisiete días del mes; aquel día fueron rotas todas las fuentes del grande abismo, y las ventanas de los cielos fueron abiertas;

12 y hubo lluvia sobre la tierra cuarenta días y cuarenta noches.

13 ¶ En este mismo día entró Noé, y Sem, y Cam y Jafet, hijos de Noé, la mujer de Noé, y las tres mujeres de sus hijos con él en el arca;

14 ellos y todos los animales según sus especies, y todas las bestias según sus especies, y todo animal que anda arrastrándose sobre la tierra según su especie, y toda ave según su especie, todo pájaro, toda cosa de alas.

15 Y vinieron a Noé al arca, de dos en dos, de toda carne, en que había espíritu de vida.

16 Y los que vinieron, macho y hembra de toda carne vinieron, como le había mandado Dios: y el SEÑOR lo encerró.

17 ¶ Y el diluvio estuvo cuarenta días sobre la tierra; y las aguas se multiplicaron, y alzaron el arca, y fue alzado de sobre la tierra.

18 Y prevalecieron las aguas, y se multiplicaron en gran manera sobre la tierra; y andaba el arca sobre la faz de las aguas.

19 Y las aguas prevalecieron mucho en gran manera sobre la tierra; y todos los montes altos que había debajo de todos los cielos, fueron cubiertos.

20 Quince codos encima prevalecieron las aguas; y fueron cubiertos los montes.

21 ¶ Y murió toda carne que anda arrastrándose sobre la tierra, en las aves, y en las bestias, y en los animales, y en toda criatura que anda arrastrándose sobre la tierra, y en todo hombre;

22 todo lo que tenía aliento de espíritu de vida en sus narices, de todo lo que había en la tierra, murió.

23 Así rayó toda la sustancia que había sobre la faz de la tierra, desde el hombre hasta la bestia, hasta el animal, y hasta el ave del cielo; y fueron raídos de la tierra; y quedó solamente Noé, y los que con él estaban en el arca.

24 Y prevalecieron las aguas sobre la tierra ciento cincuenta días.
