Génesis 8
Dios Habla Hoy
Fin del diluvio
8 Entonces Dios se acordó de Noé y de todos los animales que estaban con él en la barca. Hizo que el viento soplara sobre la tierra, y el agua comenzó a bajar; 2 se cerraron las fuentes del mar profundo y también las compuertas del cielo. Dejó de llover, 3 y el agua comenzó a bajar poco a poco. Al cabo de ciento cincuenta días, el agua ya iba bajando, 4 y el día diecisiete del mes séptimo la barca se detuvo sobre las montañas de Ararat. 5 El agua siguió bajando, y el primer día del mes décimo ya se podían ver las partes más altas de los montes.
6 Después de cuarenta días, Noé abrió la ventana de la barca que había hecho 7 y soltó un cuervo; pero el cuervo volaba de un lado para otro, esperando que la tierra se secara. 8 Después del cuervo, Noé soltó una paloma para ver si la tierra ya estaba seca; 9 pero la paloma regresó a la barca porque no encontró ningún lugar donde descansar, pues la tierra todavía estaba cubierta de agua. Así que Noé sacó la mano, tomó la paloma y la hizo entrar en la barca.
10 Noé esperó otros siete días, y volvió a soltar la paloma. 11 Ya empezaba a anochecer cuando la paloma regresó, trayendo una ramita de olivo en el pico. Así Noé se dio cuenta de que la tierra se iba secando. 12 Esperó siete días más, y volvió a enviar la paloma; pero la paloma ya no regresó.
13 Cuando Noé tenía seiscientos un años, la tierra quedó seca. El primer día del mes primero, Noé quitó el techo de la barca y vio que la tierra estaba seca. 14 Para el día veintisiete del mes segundo, la tierra estaba ya bien seca. 15 Entonces Dios le dijo a Noé: 16 «Sal de la barca, junto con tu esposa, tus hijos y tus nueras. 17 Saca también a todos los animales que están contigo: las aves, los animales domésticos y los que se arrastran por el suelo, para que se vayan por toda la tierra y tengan muchas crías y llenen el mundo.»
18 Entonces Noé y su esposa, y sus hijos y nueras, salieron de la barca. 19 También salieron todos los animales domésticos y salvajes, los que se arrastran y los que vuelan. 20 Luego Noé construyó un altar en honor del Señor, tomó animales y aves puros, uno de cada clase, y los ofreció en holocausto al Señor. 21 Cuando al Señor le llegó este olor tan agradable, dijo: «Nunca más volveré a maldecir la tierra por culpa del hombre, porque desde joven el hombre sólo piensa en hacer lo malo. Tampoco volveré a destruir a todos los animales, como lo hice esta vez.
22 »Mientras el mundo exista,
habrá siembra y cosecha;
hará calor y frío,
habrá invierno y verano
y días con sus noches.»
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.
Genesis 8
English Standard Version
The Flood Subsides
8 But God (A)remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. And (B)God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided. 2 (C)The fountains of the deep and (D)the windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained, 3 and the waters receded from the earth continually. At the end (E)of 150 days the waters had abated, 4 and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of (F)Ararat. 5 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.
6 At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made 7 and sent forth a raven. It went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth. 8 Then he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground. 9 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.
13 In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried from off the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry. 14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth had dried out. 15 Then God said to Noah, 16 “Go out from the ark, (G)you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you. 17 Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh—birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth—that they may swarm on the earth, and (H)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 beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out by families from the ark.
God's Covenant with Noah
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and took some of every clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And when the Lord smelled (I)the pleasing aroma, the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again (J)curse[a] the ground because of man, for (K)the intention of man's heart is evil from his youth. (L)Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done. 22 (M)While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, (N)day and night, shall not cease.”
