Genesis 8:20-22
Living Bible
20 Then Noah built an altar and sacrificed on it some of the animals and birds God had designated[a] for that purpose. 21 And Jehovah was pleased with the sacrifice[b] and said to himself, “I will never do it again—I will never again curse the earth, destroying all living things, even though man’s bent is always toward evil from his earliest youth, and even though he does such wicked things. 22 As long as the earth remains, there will be springtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, day and night.”

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.

20 Sedan byggde Noa ett altare åt Herren. På det offrade han fyrfotadjur och fåglar av alla rena sorter som brännoffer. 21 Herren kände den behagliga doften och sa för sig själv: ”Jag ska aldrig mer förbanna jorden för människans skull, för människans hjärtas tankar är onda redan från den tidigaste ungdomen. Jag ska aldrig mer förgöra allt levande som jag nu har gjort.
22 Så länge som jorden finns kvar
kommer sådd och skörd,
köld och värme,
sommar och vinter,
dag och natt
aldrig att upphöra.”
