Genesis 7
English Standard Version
7 Then the Lord said to Noah, (A)“Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that (B)you are righteous before me in this generation. 2 Take with you seven pairs of all (C)clean animals,[a] the male and his mate, and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate, 3 and seven pairs[b] of the birds of the heavens also, male and female, to keep their offspring alive on the face of all the earth. 4 For in seven days (D)I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, (E)and every living thing[c] that I have made I will blot out from the face of the ground.” 5 (F)And Noah did all that the Lord had commanded him.
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth. 7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him went into the ark to escape the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean animals, and of animals that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground, 9 two and two, male and female, went into the ark with Noah, as God had commanded Noah. 10 And after seven days the waters of the flood came upon the earth.
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 (G)fountains of the great deep burst forth, and (H)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 (I)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 (J)as God had commanded him. And the Lord shut him in.
17 The flood (K)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[d] deep. 21 And (L)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 (M)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 (N)Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark. 24 And the waters prevailed on the earth 150 days.

King James Version
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.

Noé entra en el barco
7 Después el Señor le dijo a Noé: «Entra en el barco con toda tu familia, porque tú eres el único hombre bueno que vive en este tiempo. 2 Mete en el barco siete machos y siete hembras de todos los animales que se consideran puros; pero de los que se consideran impuros sólo lleva un macho y una hembra. 3 Lleva también siete machos y siete hembras de todas las aves que existen, para conservar su especie en la tierra. 4 Porque dentro de siete días haré que comience una lluvia que durará cuarenta días con sus noches, y todo lo que vive en la tierra morirá».
5 Y Noé hizo todo lo que Dios le mandó.
6-7 Cuando comenzó el diluvio, Noé tenía seiscientos años de edad. Entonces entró en el barco con sus hijos, su esposa, y sus nueras, para librarse del diluvio. 8-9 También entraron con Noé los animales puros e impuros, las aves y los reptiles, macho y hembra, tal como Dios se lo había ordenado.
10 Luego de siete días, las aguas del diluvio comenzaron a inundar la tierra. 11 Eso ocurrió el día diecisiete del mes segundo, es decir, cuando Noé cumplió sus seiscientos años de vida. Ese día se reventaron todas las fuentes del mar que está debajo de la tierra, y se abrieron las compuertas del cielo dejando caer una lluvia torrencial. 12 Llovió, sin parar, durante cuarenta días y cuarenta noches. 13 Fue en aquel día que Noé entró en el barco con su esposa, sus hijos Sem, Cam y Jafet, y sus nueras. 14-15 Con ellos había en el barco parejas de toda clase de animales, domésticos y silvestres, reptiles y aves. 16 Habían entrado de dos en dos, macho y hembra, tal como Dios lo había ordenado. Después el Señor cerró la puerta del barco.
17 Estuvo lloviendo sobre la tierra durante cuarenta días. Como el nivel de las aguas subió, el barco comenzó a flotar sobre las aguas. 18 A medida que el agua subía, el barco flotaba sin peligro sobre ellas. 19 Las aguas subieron tanto, que cubrieron hasta las montañas más altas de la tierra. 20 Las aguas subieron unos siete metros por encima de las montañas. 21-22 Por eso, murieron todos los seres vivos que había en la tierra: las aves, los animales salvajes y los domésticos, todos los reptiles, y todos los seres humanos. 23 Tan sólo Noé y los que estaban con él en el barco quedaron vivos. Todos los demás seres humanos murieron, junto con los animales domésticos, las aves y los reptiles. 24 Las aguas inundaron la tierra durante unos ciento cincuenta días.
