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.

Bajan las aguas
8 Y se acordó Dios(A) de Noé y de todas las bestias y de todo el ganado que estaban con él en el arca; y Dios hizo pasar un viento sobre la tierra y decrecieron las aguas(B). 2 Y se cerraron las fuentes del abismo y las compuertas[a] del cielo(C), y se detuvo la lluvia(D) del cielo. 3 Las aguas bajaron[b] gradualmente de sobre la tierra, y al cabo de ciento cincuenta días(E), las aguas habían decrecido. 4 Y en el mes séptimo, el día diecisiete del mes, el arca descansó sobre los montes(F) de Ararat. 5 Las aguas fueron decreciendo paulatinamente hasta el mes décimo; y el día primero del mes décimo, se vieron las cimas de los montes.
6 Y aconteció que al cabo de cuarenta días, Noé abrió la ventana del arca(G) que él había hecho, 7 y envió un cuervo, que estuvo yendo y viniendo[c] hasta que se secaron las aguas sobre[d] la tierra. 8 Después envió[e] una paloma para ver si las aguas habían disminuido sobre la superficie[f] de la tierra, 9 pero la paloma no encontró lugar donde posarse[g], de modo que volvió a él, al arca, porque las aguas estaban sobre la superficie[h] de toda la tierra. Entonces extendió su mano, la tomó y la metió consigo en el arca. 10 Esperó aún otros siete días, y volvió a enviar la paloma desde el arca. 11 Y hacia el[i] atardecer la paloma regresó[j] a él, y he aquí, en su pico[k] traía una hoja de olivo recién arrancada. Entonces Noé comprendió que las aguas habían disminuido sobre la tierra. 12 Esperó aún otros siete días, y envió la paloma(H), pero ya no volvió más a él.
Noé sale del arca
13 Y aconteció que en el año seiscientos uno de Noé(I), en el mes primero, el día primero del mes, se secaron las aguas sobre la tierra. Entonces Noé quitó la cubierta del arca y miró, y he aquí, estaba seca la superficie[l] de la tierra. 14 Y en el mes segundo, el día veintisiete del mes, estaba seca la tierra. 15 Entonces habló Dios a Noé, diciendo: 16 Sal del arca tú, y contigo tu mujer, tus hijos y las mujeres de tus hijos. 17 Saca contigo todo ser viviente de toda carne que está contigo: aves, ganados y todo reptil que se arrastra sobre la tierra, para que se reproduzcan en abundancia[m] sobre la tierra, y sean fecundos y se multipliquen sobre la tierra(J). 18 Salió, pues, Noé, y con él sus hijos y su mujer y las mujeres de sus hijos. 19 Y todas las bestias, todos los reptiles, todas las aves y todo lo que se mueve sobre la tierra, salieron del arca según sus familias.
20 Y edificó Noé un altar al Señor(K), y tomó de todo animal limpio y de toda ave limpia(L), y ofreció holocaustos(M) en el altar. 21 Y el Señor percibió el aroma agradable(N), y dijo el Señor para sí[n]: Nunca más volveré a maldecir la tierra por causa del hombre(O), porque la intención[o] del corazón del hombre es mala(P) desde su juventud; nunca más volveré a destruir[p] todo ser viviente(Q) como lo he hecho.
22 Mientras la tierra permanezca,
la siembra y la siega,
el frío y el calor,
el verano y el invierno(R),
el día y la noche(S),
nunca cesarán.

Genesis 8
New King James Version
Noah’s Deliverance
8 Then God (A)remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. (B)And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided. 2 (C)The fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were also (D)stopped, and (E)the rain from heaven was restrained. 3 And the waters receded continually from the earth. At the end (F)of the hundred and fifty days the waters decreased. 4 Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, on 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, the tops of the mountains were seen.
6 So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened (G)the window of the ark which he had made. 7 Then he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from the earth. 8 He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground. 9 But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself. 10 And he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent the dove out from the ark. 11 Then the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth; and Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth. 12 So he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, which did not return again to him anymore.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and indeed the surface of the ground was dry. 14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried.
15 Then God spoke to Noah, saying, 16 “Go out of the ark, (H)you and your wife, and your sons and your sons’ wives with you. 17 Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you: birds and cattle and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, so that they may abound on the earth, and (I)be fruitful and multiply on the earth.” 18 So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him. 19 Every animal, every creeping thing, every bird, and whatever creeps on the earth, according to their families, went out of the ark.
God’s Covenant with Creation
20 Then Noah built an (J)altar to the Lord, and took of (K)every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered (L)burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And the Lord smelled (M)a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart, “I will never again (N)curse the ground for man’s sake, although the (O)imagination[a] of man’s heart is evil from his youth; (P)nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.
22 “While the earth (Q)remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winter and summer,
And (R)day and night
Shall not cease.”
