11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the (A)fountains of the great deep burst forth, and (B)the windows of the heavens were opened. 12 And rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 13 On the very same day Noah and his sons, Shem and Ham and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them entered the ark, 14 they and every beast, according to its kind, and all the livestock according to their kinds, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, according to its kind, and every bird, according to its kind, every winged creature. 15 They (C)went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life. 16 And those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in (D)as God had commanded him. And the Lord shut him in.

17 The flood (E)continued forty days on the earth. The waters increased and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. 18 The waters prevailed and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed so mightily on the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered. 20 The waters prevailed above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits[a] deep. 21 And (F)all flesh died that moved on the earth, birds, livestock, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm on the earth, and all mankind. 22 Everything on the dry land (G)in whose nostrils was the breath of life died. 23 He blotted out every living thing that was on the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens. They were blotted out from the earth. Only (H)Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark. 24 And the waters prevailed on the earth 150 days.

The Flood Subsides

But God (I)remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. And (J)God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided. (K)The fountains of the deep and (L)the windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained, and the waters receded from the earth continually. At the end (M)of 150 days the waters had abated, and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of (N)Ararat. And the waters continued to abate until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made and sent forth a raven. It went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth. Then he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground. But the dove found no place to set her foot, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her and brought her into the ark with him. 10 He waited another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark. 11 And the dove came back to him in the evening, and behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth. 12 Then he waited another seven days and sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him anymore.

  1. Genesis 7:20 A cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters

11 On the seventeenth day of the second month of the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, all the deep springs burst open. The sky opened, 12 and rain came pouring down on the earth for 40 days and 40 nights.

13 On that same day Noah and his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, as well as Noah’s wife and his three daughters-in-law went into the ship. 14 They had with them every type of wild animal, every type of domestic animal, every type of creature that crawls on the earth, and every type of bird (every creature with wings). 15 A pair of every living, breathing animal came to Noah to go into the ship. 16 A male and a female of every animal went in as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord closed the door behind them.

17 The flood continued for 40 days on the earth. The water increased and lifted the ship so that it rose high above the ground. 18 As the water rose and became very deep, the ship floated on top of the water. 19 The water rose very high above the earth. It covered all the high mountains everywhere under the sky. 20 It rose 23 feet above the mountaintops.

21 Every creature that crawls on the earth died, including birds, domestic and wild animals, and everything that swarms over the earth, along with every human. 22 Everything on dry land (every living, breathing creature) died. 23 Every living creature on the face of the earth was wiped out. Humans, domestic animals, crawling creatures, and birds were wiped off the earth. Only Noah and those with him in the ship were left.

24 The floodwaters were on the earth for 150 days.

God Remembers Noah

God remembered Noah and all the wild and domestic animals with him in the ship. So God made a wind blow over the earth, and the water started to go down. The deep springs and the sky had been shut, and the rain had stopped pouring. The water began to recede from the land. At the end of 150 days the water had decreased. On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ship came to rest in the mountains of Ararat. The water kept decreasing until the tenth month. On the first day of the tenth month, the tops of the mountains appeared.

After 40 more days Noah opened the window he had made in the ship and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the water on the land had dried up. Next, he sent out a dove to see if the water was gone from the surface of the ground. 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.

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 cataratas de los cielos fueron abiertas,(A) 12 y hubo lluvia sobre la tierra cuarenta días y cuarenta noches. 13 En este mismo día entraron Noé, y Sem, 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 silvestres según sus especies, y todos los animales domesticados según sus especies, y todo reptil que se arrastra sobre la tierra según su especie, y toda ave según su especie, y todo pájaro de toda especie. 15 Vinieron, pues, con 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 Jehová le cerró la puerta.

17 Y fue el diluvio cuarenta días sobre la tierra; y las aguas crecieron, y alzaron el arca, y se elevó sobre la tierra. 18 Y subieron las aguas y crecieron en gran manera sobre la tierra; y flotaba el arca sobre la superficie de las aguas. 19 Y las aguas subieron mucho sobre la tierra; y todos los montes altos que había debajo de todos los cielos, fueron cubiertos. 20 Quince codos más alto subieron las aguas, después que fueron cubiertos los montes. 21 Y murió toda carne que se mueve sobre la tierra, así de aves como de ganado y de bestias, y de todo reptil que se arrastra sobre la tierra, y todo hombre. 22 Todo lo que tenía aliento de espíritu de vida en sus narices, todo lo que había en la tierra, murió. 23 Así fue destruido todo ser que vivía sobre la faz de la tierra, desde el hombre hasta la bestia, los reptiles, y las aves 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.

Y se acordó Dios de Noé, y de todos los animales, y de todas las bestias que estaban con él en el arca; e hizo pasar Dios un viento sobre la tierra, y disminuyeron las aguas. Y se cerraron las fuentes del abismo y las cataratas de los cielos; y la lluvia de los cielos fue detenida. Y las aguas decrecían gradualmente de sobre la tierra; y se retiraron las aguas al cabo de ciento cincuenta días. Y reposó el arca en el mes séptimo, a los diecisiete días del mes, sobre los montes de Ararat. Y las aguas fueron decreciendo hasta el mes décimo; en el décimo, al primero del mes, se descubrieron las cimas de los montes.

Sucedió que al cabo de cuarenta días abrió Noé la ventana del arca que había hecho, y envió un cuervo, el cual salió, y estuvo yendo y volviendo hasta que las aguas se secaron sobre la tierra. Envió también de sí una paloma, para ver si las aguas se habían retirado de sobre la faz de la tierra. Y no halló la paloma donde sentar la planta de su pie, y volvió a él al arca, porque las aguas estaban aún sobre la faz de toda la tierra. Entonces él extendió su mano, y tomándola, la hizo entrar consigo en el arca. 10 Esperó aún otros siete días, y volvió a enviar la paloma fuera del arca. 11 Y la paloma volvió a él a la hora de la tarde; y he aquí que traía una hoja de olivo en el pico; y entendió Noé que las aguas se habían retirado de sobre la tierra. 12 Y esperó aún otros siete días, y envió la paloma, la cual no volvió ya más a él.

11 В шестисотый год жизни Ноевой, во второй месяц, в семнадцатый день месяца, в сей день разверзлись все источники великой бездны, и окна небесные отворились;

12 и лился на землю дождь сорок дней и сорок ночей.

13 В сей самый день вошел в ковчег Ной, и Сим, Хам и Иафет, сыновья Ноевы, и жена Ноева, и три жены сынов его с ними.

14 Они, и все звери по роду их, и всякий скот по роду его, и все гады, пресмыкающиеся по земле, по роду их, и все летающие по роду их, все птицы, все крылатые,

15 и вошли к Ною в ковчег по паре от всякой плоти, в которой есть дух жизни;

16 и вошедшие мужеский и женский пол всякой плоти вошли, как повелел ему Бог. И затворил Господь за ним.

17 И продолжалось на земле наводнение сорок дней, и умножилась вода, и подняла ковчег, и он возвысился над землею;

18 вода же усиливалась и весьма умножалась на земле, и ковчег плавал по поверхности вод.

19 И усилилась вода на земле чрезвычайно, так что покрылись все высокие горы, какие есть под всем небом;

20 на пятнадцать локтей поднялась над ними вода, и покрылись горы.

21 И лишилась жизни всякая плоть, движущаяся по земле, и птицы, и скоты, и звери, и все гады, ползающие по земле, и все люди;

22 все, что имело дыхание духа жизни в ноздрях своих на суше, умерло.

23 Истребилось всякое существо, которое было на поверхности земли; от человека до скота, и гадов, и птиц небесных, --все истребилось с земли, остался только Ной и что [было] с ним в ковчеге.

24 Вода же усиливалась на земле сто пятьдесят дней.

И вспомнил Бог о Ное, и о всех зверях, и о всех скотах, (и о всех птицах, и о всех гадах пресмыкающихся,) бывших с ним в ковчеге; и навел Бог ветер на землю, и воды остановились.

И закрылись источники бездны и окна небесные, и перестал дождь с неба.

Вода же постепенно возвращалась с земли, и стала убывать вода по окончании ста пятидесяти дней.

И остановился ковчег в седьмом месяце, в семнадцатый день месяца, на горах Араратских.

Вода постоянно убывала до десятого месяца; в первый день десятого месяца показались верхи гор.

По прошествии сорока дней Ной открыл сделанное им окно ковчега

и выпустил ворона, который, вылетев, отлетал и прилетал, пока осушилась земля от воды.

Потом выпустил от себя голубя, чтобы видеть, сошла ли вода с лица земли,

но голубь не нашел места покоя для ног своих и возвратился к нему в ковчег, ибо вода была еще на поверхности всей земли; и он простер руку свою, и взял его, и принял к себе в ковчег.

10 И помедлил еще семь дней других и опять выпустил голубя из ковчега.

11 Голубь возвратился к нему в вечернее время, и вот, свежий масличный лист во рту у него, и Ной узнал, что вода сошла с земли.

12 Он помедлил еще семь дней других и выпустил голубя; и он уже не возвратился к нему.

20 Then he went (A)home, and the crowd gathered again, (B)so that they could not even eat. 21 (C)And when (D)his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, “He (E)is out of his mind.”

Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit

22 And (F)the scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, (G)“He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.” 23 (H)And he called them to him and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. 26 And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end. 27 But (I)no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. (J)Then indeed he may plunder his house.

28 (K)“Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, 29 but whoever (L)blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin” 30 for they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”

Jesus' Mother and Brothers

31 (M)And his mother and his (N)brothers came, and standing outside they sent to him and called him. 32 And a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, “Your mother and your brothers[a] are outside, seeking you.” 33 And he answered them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” 34 And (O)looking about at those who sat around him, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 (P)For whoever (Q)does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.”

Jesus Is Accused of Working with Beelzebul(A)

20 Then Jesus went home. Another crowd gathered so that Jesus and his disciples could not even eat. 21 When his family heard about it, they went to get him. They said, “He’s out of his mind!”

22 The experts in Moses’ Teachings who had come from Jerusalem said, “Beelzebul is in him,” and “He forces demons out of people with the help of the ruler of demons.”

23 Jesus called them together and used this illustration: “How can Satan force out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot last. 25 And if a household is divided against itself, that household will not last. 26 So if Satan rebels against himself and is divided, he cannot last. That will be the end of him.

27 “No one can go into a strong man’s house and steal his property. First he must tie up the strong man. Then he can go through the strong man’s house and steal his property.

28 “I can guarantee this truth: People will be forgiven for any sin or curse. 29 But whoever curses the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. He is guilty of an everlasting sin.” 30 Jesus said this because the experts in Moses’ Teachings had said that he had an evil spirit.

The True Family of Jesus(B)

31 Then his mother and his brothers arrived. They stood outside and sent someone to ask him to come out. 32 The crowd sitting around Jesus told him, “Your mother and your brothers are outside looking for you.”

33 He replied to them, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 34 Then looking at those who sat in a circle around him, he said, “Look, here are my mother and my brothers. 35 Whoever does what God wants is my brother and sister and mother.”

La blasfemia contra el Espíritu Santo

(Mt. 12.22-32; Lc. 11.14-23)

20 Y se agolpó de nuevo la gente, de modo que ellos ni aun podían comer pan. 21 Cuando lo oyeron los suyos, vinieron para prenderle; porque decían: Está fuera de sí. 22 Pero los escribas que habían venido de Jerusalén decían que tenía a Beelzebú, y que por el príncipe de los demonios echaba fuera los demonios.(A) 23 Y habiéndolos llamado, les decía en parábolas: ¿Cómo puede Satanás echar fuera a Satanás? 24 Si un reino está dividido contra sí mismo, tal reino no puede permanecer. 25 Y si una casa está dividida contra sí misma, tal casa no puede permanecer. 26 Y si Satanás se levanta contra sí mismo, y se divide, no puede permanecer, sino que ha llegado su fin. 27 Ninguno puede entrar en la casa de un hombre fuerte y saquear sus bienes, si antes no le ata, y entonces podrá saquear su casa.

28 De cierto os digo que todos los pecados serán perdonados a los hijos de los hombres, y las blasfemias cualesquiera que sean; 29 pero cualquiera que blasfeme contra el Espíritu Santo, no tiene jamás perdón,(B) sino que es reo de juicio eterno. 30 Porque ellos habían dicho: Tiene espíritu inmundo.

La madre y los hermanos de Jesús

(Mt. 12.46-50; Lc. 8.19-21)

31 Vienen después sus hermanos y su madre, y quedándose afuera, enviaron a llamarle. 32 Y la gente que estaba sentada alrededor de él le dijo: Tu madre y tus hermanos están afuera, y te buscan. 33 Él les respondió diciendo: ¿Quién es mi madre y mis hermanos? 34 Y mirando a los que estaban sentados alrededor de él, dijo: He aquí mi madre y mis hermanos. 35 Porque todo aquel que hace la voluntad de Dios, ese es mi hermano, y mi hermana, y mi madre.

20 Приходят в дом; и опять сходится народ, так что им невозможно было и хлеба есть.

21 И, услышав, ближние Его пошли взять Его, ибо говорили, что Он вышел из себя.

22 А книжники, пришедшие из Иерусалима, говорили, что Он имеет [в] [Себе] веельзевула и что изгоняет бесов силою бесовского князя.

23 И, призвав их, говорил им притчами: как может сатана изгонять сатану?

24 Если царство разделится само в себе, не может устоять царство то;

25 и если дом разделится сам в себе, не может устоять дом тот;

26 и если сатана восстал на самого себя и разделился, не может устоять, но пришел конец его.

27 Никто, войдя в дом сильного, не может расхитить вещей его, если прежде не свяжет сильного, и тогда расхитит дом его.

28 Истинно говорю вам: будут прощены сынам человеческим все грехи и хуления, какими бы ни хулили;

29 но кто будет хулить Духа Святаго, тому не будет прощения вовек, но подлежит он вечному осуждению.

30 [Сие сказал Он], потому что говорили: в Нем нечистый дух.

31 И пришли Матерь и братья Его и, стоя [вне] дома, послали к Нему звать Его.

32 Около Него сидел народ. И сказали Ему: вот, Матерь Твоя и братья Твои и сестры Твои, [вне] дома, спрашивают Тебя.

33 И отвечал им: кто матерь Моя и братья Мои?

34 И обозрев сидящих вокруг Себя, говорит: вот матерь Моя и братья Мои;

35 ибо кто будет исполнять волю Божию, тот Мне брат, и сестра, и матерь.
