Jenèz 4-7
Haitian Creole Version
4 ¶ Lè sa a, Adan kouche ak Ev, madanm li. Madanm li vin ansent. Li fè yon pitit gason, li rele l' Kayen, epi li di. Avèk konkou Bondye, mwen gen yon gason.
2 Apre sa, li fè Abèl, frè Kayen. Abèl te gadò mouton, Kayen menm te travay latè.
3 ¶ Kèk tan apre sa, Kayen pran nan rekòt li, li ofri bay Seye a.
4 Abèl menm, bò pa l', pran sa ki pi gra nan premye pitit mouton l' yo, li ofri bay Seyè a. Seyè a te kontan ofrann Abèl la.
5 Men, li pa t' asepte ofrann Kayen an. Lè Kayen wè sa, li te move anpil. Li move, li mare figi l' byen mare.
6 ¶ Lè sa a, Seyè a di Kayen. Poukisa ou move konsa? Poukisa ou mare figi ou konsa?
7 Si sa ou te fè a te byen, ou pa ta rive nan sitiyasyon sa a. Men, paske ou fè sa ki mal, peche kouche nan papòt ou. L'ap tann konsa lè pou l' pran tèt ou. Men, ou menm, se pou ou kenbe tèt ak li.
8 ¶ Yon jou, Kayen di Abèl, frè li. Ann al nan jaden. Vwala, antan yo nan jaden an, Kayen vire sou frè li, li touye li.
9 ¶ Seyè a mande Kayen. Kote Abèl, frè ou la? Kayen reponn. Mwen pa konnen. Eske ou te mete m' veye l'?
10 Bondye di l' konsa. Kisa ou fè konsa? San Abèl, frè ou, ki koule atè a, ap rele tankou yon vwa moun. Li rive jouk nan zòrèy mwen. L'ap mande revanj.
11 Koulye a, tè ki te louvri bouch li pou l' te bwè san frè ou ou te fè koule a, menm tè sa a ap tounen yon madichon pou ou.
12 Lè w'a travay latè, li p'ap ba ou sa l' te dwe ba ou. W'ap tounen yon vakabon k'ap plede mache toupatou sou latè san rete.
13 ¶ Kayen di Seyè a: Chatiman an twòp pou mwen. Mwen p'ap ka sipòte l'.
14 Men ou mete m' deyò sou tè sa a koulye a, se kache pou m' al kache pou ou pa wè m'. M'ap tounen yon vakabon k'ap plede mache toupatou sou latè san rete. Nenpòt moun ki jwenn mwen va touye m'.
15 Seyè a di: Non. Paske, si yon moun touye Kayen, y'ap fè l' peye sa sèt fwa. Se konsa, li mete yon siy sou Kayen pou moun pa touye l' si yo jwenn li.
16 ¶ Apre sa, Kayen wete kò l' devan Seyè a, li al rete nan yon peyi yo rele Nòd, lòt bò jaden Edenn lan, sou kote solèy leve a.
17 Kayen kouche avèk madanm li. Madanm li vin ansent, li fè yon ti gason yo rele Enòk. Apre sa, Kayen bati yon vil, li rele l' Enòk. Li ba l' menm non ak pitit gason l' lan.
18 Enòk te fè yon pitit gason yo rele Irad. Se Irad sa a ki te papa Meoujaèl. Meoujaèl te papa Metouchaèl. Se Metouchaèl ki te papa Lemèk.
19 ¶ Lemèk te gen de madanm. Yonn te rele Ada, lòt la te rele Zila.
20 Se Ada ki manman Jabal. Jabal sa a, se li menm ki zansèt tout moun sa yo ki rete anba tant epi ki gade bèt.
21 Frè menm manman ak li a te rele Joubal. Se li menm ki zansèt tout moun sa yo k'ap jwe gita ak fif.
22 Zila menm bò pa l' te manman Toubal Kayen, yon bòs fòjon ki te konn travay kwiv ak fè. Toubal Kayen te gen yon sè menm manman ak li ki te rele Naama.
23 ¶ Yon jou Lemèk di madanm li yo: Ada ak Zila, koute sa m'ap di nou! Madanm mwen yo, tande byen sa m'ap di nou! Mwen touye yon moun paske li leve men li sou mwen. Mwen touye yon jenn gason paske li mete san m' deyò.
24 Si yon moun touye Kayen y'ap fè l' peye sa sèt fwa. Men, si yon moun touye m', mwen menm Lemèk, y'ap fè l' peye sa swasanndisèt fwa.
25 ¶ Adan te kouche ak madanm li ankò. Madanm li fè yon ti gason. Madanm lan di: Bondye ban m' yon lòt gason pou ranplase Abèl Kayen te touye a. Li rele l' Sèt.
26 Sèt, pou tèt pa l', vin gen yon pitit gason, li rele l' Enòk. Se lè sa a moun konmanse fè sèvis pou Seyè a.
5 ¶ Men lis non pitit pitit Adan yo: Lè Bondye kreye moun, li te fè yo pòtre avè l'.
2 Li kreye yo gason ak fi. Li beni yo. Jou li kreye yo a, li rele yo moun.
3 Adan te gen santrantan (130 an) lè li vin gen yon pitit gason ki te sanble avè l' tèt koupe, li rele l' Sèt.
4 Apre nesans Sèt, Adan viv witsanzan (800 an). Li te vin gen anpil lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
5 Lè Adan mouri li te gen nèfsantrantan (930 an).
6 ¶ Sèt te gen sansenkan (105 an) lè li vin gen yon pitit gason yo te rele Enòk.
7 Apre nesans Enòk, Sèt viv witsansetan (807 an). Li te vin gen anpil lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
8 Lè Sèt mouri, li te gen nèfsandouzan (912 an).
9 Enòk te gen katrevendizan lè li vin gen yon pitit gason yo rele Kenan.
10 Apre nesans Kenan, Enòk viv witsankenzan (815 an). Li te vin gen anpil lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
11 Lè Enòk mouri, li te gen nèfsansenkan (905 an).
12 Kenan te gen swasanndizan lè li vin gen yon pitit gason yo rele Malaleyèl.
13 Apre nesans Malaleyèl, Kenan viv witsankarantan (840 an). Li te vin gen anpil lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
14 Lè Kenan mouri, li te gen nèfsandizan (910 an).
15 Malaleyèl te gen swasannsenkan lè li vin gen yon pitit gason yo rele Jerèd.
16 Apre nesans Jerèd, Malaleyèl viv witsantrantan (830 an). Li te vin gen anpil lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
17 Lè Malaleyèl mouri, li te gen witsankatrevenkenzan (895 an).
18 Jerèd te gen sanswanndezan (162 an) lè li vin gen yon pitit gason yo rele Enòk.
19 Apre nesans Enòk, Jerèd viv witsanzan (800 an). Li te vin gen anpil lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
20 Lè Jerèd mouri, li te gen nèfsanswasanndezan (962 an).
21 ¶ Enòk te gen swasannsenkan lè li vin gen yon pitit gason yo rele Metouchela.
22 Apre nesans Metouchela, Enòk te mache byen ak Bondye pandan twasanzan (300 an). Li te vin gen anpil lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
23 -
24 Enòk te pase tout vi l' ap mache byen ak Bondye. Li te gen twasanswasannsenkan (365 an) lè l' disparèt, paske Bondye te pran l' avè l'.
25 ¶ Metouchela te gen sankatrevensètan (187 an) lè li vin gen yon pitit gason yo rele Lemèk.
26 Apre nesans Lemèk, Metouchela viv sètsankatrevendezan (782 an). Li te vin gen anpil lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
27 Lè Metouchela mouri, li te gen nèfsanswantnevan (969 an).
28 ¶ Lemèk te gen sankatrevendezan (182 an) lè li vin gen yon pitit gason.
29 Li rele l' Noe. Li di konsa: Pitit sa a va soulaje nou anba tout travay di n'ap fè, anba gwo travay nou blije fè avèk men nou paske Seyè a te madichonnen tè a.
30 Apre nesans Noe, Lemèk viv senksankatrevenkenzan (595 an). Li te vin gen anpil lòt pitit gason ak pitit fi.
31 Lè Lemèk mouri, li te gen sètsanswasanndisetan (777 an).
32 Noe te gen senksanzan (500 an) lè li vin gen twa pitit gason: Sèm, Kam ak Jafè.
6 ¶ Lè sa a, moun te konmanse ap fè anpil anpil pitit sou latè. Yo te vin gen anpil pitit fi.
2 Pitit gason Bondye yo te wè jan pitit fi lèzòm yo te bèl. Se konsa, nan fi yo te renmen yo, yo pran ladan yo pou madanm yo.
3 ¶ Lè Seyè a wè sa, li di: Mwen p'ap kite lèzòm viv pou tout tan, paske se moun ase yo ye. Se sanventan (120 an) sèlman pou yo viv.
4 ¶ Lè sa a, epi pandan lontan apre sa, te vin gen sou latè yon ras moun wo anpil: se te pitit pitit fi lèzòm yo te fè pou pitit gason bondye yo. Se yo ki te vanyan gason nan tan lontan yo, kifè tout moun t'ap nonmen non yo.
5 Seyè a wè jan lèzòm te mechan toupatou sou latè, ki jan tout lajounen se move lide ase ki te nan tèt yo.
6 ¶ Li vin règrèt li te fè moun sou latè. Kè l' vin sere ak lapenn.
7 Seyè a di: Mwen pral disparèt tout moun mwen te kreye yo, san kite yonn. Epi m'ap detwi ansanm ak yo tout tou bèt kat pat, tout bèt ki trennen sou vant ak tout zwazo k'ap vole nan syèl, paske mwen règrèt anpil dèske mwen te fè yo.
8 ¶ Men, Noe te fè Bondye plezi.
9 Men pitit pitit Noe yo. Nan tout moun ki t'ap viv lè sa a, Noe te sèl moun ki t'ap mache dwat devan Bondye, ki pa t' nan anyen ki mal. Li t'ap mache byen ak Bondye.
10 Li te gen twa pitit gason: Sèm, Kam ak Jafè.
11 ¶ Men, tout lòt moun yo te fin pouri devan Bondye. Toupatou sou latè se te mechanste sou mechanste.
12 Bondye gade latè, li wè l' te fin pouri, paske tout moun sou latè te fin pèvèti.
13 ¶ Lè sa a, Bondye di Noe konsa: Mwen deside pou m' fini ak tout moun, paske se yo ki lakòz toupatou sou latè se mechanste ase. Wi, mwen pral detwi yo nèt ansanm ak tout sa ki sou latè.
14 Fè yon gwo batiman pou ou ak bwa pichpen. W'a fè anpil ti chanm ladan l'. W'a badijonnen l' byen badijonnen anndan kou deyò avèk goudwon.
15 Men ki jan pou ou fè l': Batiman an va gen katsansenkant (450) pye longè, swasannkenz pye lajè, ak karannsenk pye wotè.
16 W'a mete yon twati sou batiman an. W'a kite yon espas dizwit pous ant twati a ak rebò a. W'a louvri yon sèl pòt sou kote batiman an. W'a mete yon etaj anba, yon etaj nan mitan, yon etaj anwo.
17 Mwen pral voye yon gwo inondasyon dlo sou latè pou detwi tout sa k'ap viv anba syèl la. tout sa ki sou latè pral peri.
18 Men, m'ap fè yon kontra avè ou. W'a antre nan batiman an, ou menm, pitit gason ou yo, madanm ou ansanm ak madanm pitit ou yo.
19 W'a pran avèk ou tout yon pè nan tout kalite bèt, yon mal ak yon fenmèl. Wa fè yo antre nan batiman an ansanm ak ou pou yo pa mouri.
20 Konsa, nan tout kalite zwazo, nan tout kalite bèt domestik, nan tout kalite bèt ki trennen sou vant yo, gen yon pè nan chak kalite ki va vin jwenn ou pou yo pa mouri.
21 Ou menm bò pa ou, ranmase tout kalite manje, mezi ou kapab. Fè yon bèl pwovizyon mete la pou ou ka jwenn manje pou ou manje ansanm ak tout bèt yo tou.
22 ¶ Se konsa Noe fè tout sa Bondye te ba li lòd fè a. Wi, se sa menm li te fè.
7 ¶ Seyè a di Noe: Antre nan gwo batiman an, ou menm ansanm ak tout fanmi ou, paske, nan tout moun k'ap viv koulye la a, se ou menm sèl mwen wè k'ap mache dwat devan mwen.
2 Nan tout bèt ki bon pou moun manje, w'a pran sèt mal ak sèt fenmèl nan chak kalite. Nan tout bèt ki pa bon pou moun manje, w'a pran yon mal ak yon fenmèl nan chak kalite.
3 Konsa tou, pou zwazo k'ap vole nan syèl la, w'a pran sèt mal ak sèt fenmèl nan chak kalite, pou ras la pa disparèt sou latè.
4 Paske, nan sèt jou ankò, m'ap fè yon sèl lapli tonbe sou latè pandan karant jou karant nwit. M'ap disparèt tout moun ak tout bèt mwen te fè mete sou latè.
5 ¶ Noe fè tout sa Seyè a te ba li lòd fè a.
6 Noe te gen sisanzan (600 an) lè inondasyon an te fèt sou latè.
7 Li antre nan batiman an, li menm, pitit gason li yo, madanm li ansanm ak madanm pitit li yo pou yo te ka chape anba inondasyon an.
8 tout kalite bèt, kit sa ki bon pou moun manje, kit sa ki pa bon pou moun manje, tout zwazo, tout bèt ki trennen sou vant,
9 yo tout yo vin jwenn Noe nan batiman an, de pa de, mal ak fenmèl, jan Bondye te bay Noe lòd la.
10 Sou sèt jou vre, dlo kouvri tout latè.
11 ¶ Jou ki fè Noe sisanzan (600 an), yon mwa, disèt jou, tout sous nan fon lanmè a pete. Syèl la menm louvri, li konmanse vide dlo sou tè a.
12 Lapli tonbe san rete pandan karant jou karant nwit.
13 ¶ Menm jou sa a, Noe, madanm li, pitit gason l' yo, Sèm, Kam ak Jafè, ansanm ak madanm yo antre nan batiman an,
14 ansanm ak tout kalite bèt domestik, tout kalite bèt ki trennen sou vant ak tout kalite zwazo, tout kalite ti zwazo, tout kalite bèt ki gen zèl.
15 Yo tout yo te vin jwenn Noe nan batiman an, de grenn nan chak kalite bèt vivan ki sou latè.
16 Se konsa, yon mal ak yon fenmèl nan chak kalite bèt vivan antre nan batiman an, jan Bondye te bay lòd la. Epi Bondye fèmen pòt la dèyè Noe.
17 ¶ Pandan karant jou, dlo kouvri tout tè a. Dlo yo gonfle, yo fè batiman an pèdi tè.
18 Dlo yo ranfòse, yo gonfle pi rèd sou tè a jouk batiman an t'ap flote nèt sou dlo a.
19 Dlo a moute pi rèd toujou anwo tè a, li kouvri tèt tout gwo mòn ki anba syèl la.
20 Dlo a moute vennsenk pye depase tèt mòn yo.
21 ¶ Lè sa a, tout bèt sou latè mouri: zwazo, bèt domestik, zannimo, tout bèt ki trennen sou vant yo, ansanm ak tout moun.
22 tout bèt vivan ak tout moun sou latè mouri.
23 Se konsa, Seyè a detwi tout bèt, tout sa ki te sou latè, depi ou tande se moun jouk zannimo domestik, bèt ki trennen sou vant ak zwazo k'ap vole nan syèl la. Yo tout yo disparèt sou latè. Sèl moun ki te rete se te Noe avèk lòt moun ki te nan batiman an ansanm ak li yo.
24 Apre sa, dlo a rete anwo tè a pandan sansenkant (150) jou.

New International Version
Cain and Abel
4 Adam[a] made love to his wife(A) Eve,(B) and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain.[b](C) She said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth[c] a man.” 2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.(D)
Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil.(E) 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering(F) to the Lord.(G) 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions(H) from some of the firstborn of his flock.(I) The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering,(J) 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.
6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry?(K) Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door;(L) it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.(M)”
8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.”[d] While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.(N)
9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”(O)
“I don’t know,(P)” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
10 The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.(Q) 11 Now you are under a curse(R) and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you.(S) You will be a restless wanderer(T) on the earth.(U)”
13 Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear. 14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence;(V) I will be a restless wanderer on the earth,(W) and whoever finds me will kill me.”(X)
15 But the Lord said to him, “Not so[e]; anyone who kills Cain(Y) will suffer vengeance(Z) seven times over.(AA)” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. 16 So Cain went out from the Lord’s presence(AB) and lived in the land of Nod,[f] east of Eden.(AC)
17 Cain made love to his wife,(AD) and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city,(AE) and he named it after his son(AF) Enoch. 18 To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.
19 Lamech married(AG) two women,(AH) one named Adah and the other Zillah. 20 Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock. 21 His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play stringed instruments(AI) and pipes.(AJ) 22 Zillah also had a son, Tubal-Cain, who forged(AK) all kinds of tools out of[g] bronze and iron. Tubal-Cain’s sister was Naamah.
23 Lamech said to his wives,
“Adah and Zillah, listen to me;
wives of Lamech, hear my words.
I have killed(AL) a man for wounding me,
a young man for injuring me.
24 If Cain is avenged(AM) seven times,(AN)
then Lamech seventy-seven times.(AO)”
25 Adam made love to his wife(AP) again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth,[h](AQ) saying, “God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”(AR) 26 Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh.(AS)
At that time people began to call on[i] the name of the Lord.(AT)
From Adam to Noah
5 This is the written account(AU) of Adam’s family line.(AV)
When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God.(AW) 2 He created them(AX) male and female(AY) and blessed them. And he named them “Mankind”[j] when they were created.
3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image;(AZ) and he named him Seth.(BA) 4 After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 5 Altogether, Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died.(BB)
6 When Seth had lived 105 years, he became the father[k] of Enosh.(BC) 7 After he became the father of Enosh, Seth lived 807 years and had other sons and daughters. 8 Altogether, Seth lived a total of 912 years, and then he died.
9 When Enosh had lived 90 years, he became the father of Kenan.(BD) 10 After he became the father of Kenan, Enosh lived 815 years and had other sons and daughters. 11 Altogether, Enosh lived a total of 905 years, and then he died.
12 When Kenan had lived 70 years, he became the father of Mahalalel.(BE) 13 After he became the father of Mahalalel, Kenan lived 840 years and had other sons and daughters. 14 Altogether, Kenan lived a total of 910 years, and then he died.
15 When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he became the father of Jared.(BF) 16 After he became the father of Jared, Mahalalel lived 830 years and had other sons and daughters. 17 Altogether, Mahalalel lived a total of 895 years, and then he died.
18 When Jared had lived 162 years, he became the father of Enoch.(BG) 19 After he became the father of Enoch, Jared lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 20 Altogether, Jared lived a total of 962 years, and then he died.
21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah.(BH) 22 After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God(BI) 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23 Altogether, Enoch lived a total of 365 years. 24 Enoch walked faithfully with God;(BJ) then he was no more, because God took him away.(BK)
25 When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech.(BL) 26 After he became the father of Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters. 27 Altogether, Methuselah lived a total of 969 years, and then he died.
28 When Lamech had lived 182 years, he had a son. 29 He named him Noah[l](BM) and said, “He will comfort us in the labor and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the Lord has cursed.(BN)” 30 After Noah was born, Lamech lived 595 years and had other sons and daughters. 31 Altogether, Lamech lived a total of 777 years, and then he died.
32 After Noah was 500 years old,(BO) he became the father of Shem,(BP) Ham and Japheth.(BQ)
Wickedness in the World
6 When human beings began to increase in number on the earth(BR) and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God(BS) saw that the daughters(BT) of humans were beautiful,(BU) and they married(BV) any of them they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit(BW) will not contend with[m] humans forever,(BX) for they are mortal[n];(BY) their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”
4 The Nephilim(BZ) were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans(CA) and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.(CB)
5 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth,(CC) and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.(CD) 6 The Lord regretted(CE) that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth(CF) the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.(CG)” 8 But Noah(CH) found favor in the eyes of the Lord.(CI)
Noah and the Flood
9 This is the account(CJ) of Noah and his family.
Noah was a righteous man, blameless(CK) among the people of his time,(CL) and he walked faithfully with God.(CM) 10 Noah had three sons: Shem,(CN) Ham and Japheth.(CO)
11 Now the earth was corrupt(CP) in God’s sight and was full of violence.(CQ) 12 God saw how corrupt(CR) the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.(CS) 13 So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy(CT) both them and the earth.(CU) 14 So make yourself an ark of cypress[o] wood;(CV) make rooms in it and coat it with pitch(CW) inside and out. 15 This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.[p] 16 Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit[q] high all around.[r] Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. 17 I am going to bring floodwaters(CX) on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.(CY) 18 But I will establish my covenant with you,(CZ) and you will enter the ark(DA)—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. 19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you.(DB) 20 Two(DC) of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind(DD) of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.(DE) 21 You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.”
22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him.(DF)
7 The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family,(DG) because I have found you righteous(DH) in this generation. 2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean(DI) animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive(DJ) throughout the earth. 4 Seven days from now I will send rain(DK) on the earth(DL) for forty days(DM) and forty nights,(DN) and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.(DO)”
5 And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.(DP)
6 Noah was six hundred years old(DQ) when the floodwaters came on the earth. 7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives entered the ark(DR) to escape the waters of the flood. 8 Pairs of clean and unclean(DS) animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground, 9 male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah.(DT) 10 And after the seven days(DU) the floodwaters came on the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life,(DV) on the seventeenth day of the second month(DW)—on that day all the springs of the great deep(DX) burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens(DY) were opened. 12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.(DZ)
13 On that very day Noah and his sons,(EA) Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark.(EB) 14 They had with them every wild animal according to its kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind and every bird according to its kind,(EC) everything with wings. 15 Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark.(ED) 16 The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah.(EE) Then the Lord shut him in.
17 For forty days(EF) the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth. 18 The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. 19 They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered.(EG) 20 The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits.[s][t] (EH) 21 Every living thing that moved on land perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind.(EI) 22 Everything on dry land that had the breath of life(EJ) in its nostrils died. 23 Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth.(EK) Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.(EL)
24 The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.(EM)
