创世记 8
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
洪水消退
8 神顧念挪亞和所有與他一同在方舟裡的走獸和牲畜； 神使風吹過大地，水就漸漸退了。 2 深淵的泉源和天上的窗戶，都關閉起來；天降的大雨也止住了。 3 水從地上不斷退去，過了一百五十天，水就消退了。 4 七月十七日，方舟停在亞拉臘山上。 5 水繼續消退，直到十月；到了十月初一，山頂都露出來了。
6 過了四十天，挪亞開了他所做的方舟的窗戶， 7 放了一隻烏鴉出去。地上的水還沒有乾，那烏鴉就一直飛來飛去。 8 他又放了一隻鴿子出去，要看看水從地上退了沒有。 9 因為遍地都是水，那鴿子找不著歇腳的地方，就回到挪亞的方舟那裡；於是，挪亞伸出手去，把鴿子接進方舟裡來。 10 他再等了七天，又把鴿子從方舟裡放出去。 11 到了黃昏的時候，鴿子回到挪亞那裡，嘴裡叼著一塊新摘下來的橄欖樹葉，挪亞就知道地上的水已經退了。 12 挪亞再等了七天，又把鴿子放出去，鴿子就再沒有回到他那裡。
13 到挪亞六百零一歲的時候，就在正月初一，地上的水都乾了；挪亞移開方舟的蓋看看，見地面已經乾了。 14 到了二月二十七日，大地就都乾了。
挪亞出方舟
15 神告訴挪亞說： 16 “你要從方舟出來，你和你的妻子、兒子，以及兒媳都要和你一同出來。 17 所有和你在一起有生命的活物：飛鳥、牲畜和一切在地上爬行的動物，你都要帶出來，使牠們可以在地上滋生、繁殖，也可以在地上增多。” 18 於是，挪亞出來了，他的兒子、妻子和兒媳都與他一同出來了； 19 各樣走獸、牲畜、飛禽和各樣在地上爬行的動物，各從自己的族類，都出了方舟。
挪亞獻祭
20 挪亞給耶和華築了一座祭壇，拿各樣潔淨的牲畜和飛禽，獻在祭壇上作為燔祭。 21 耶和華聞了那馨香的氣味，就心裡說：“我必不再因人的緣故咒詛這地（因為人從小時開始心中所想的都是邪惡的）；我也必不再照著我作過的，擊殺各樣的活物。
22 大地尚存之日，
播種、收割，
寒暑、
冬夏、
白晝和黑夜
必然循環不息。”
Genesis 8
King James Version
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.
