創世記 7
1 上主對諾厄說：「你和你全家進入方舟，因為在這一世代，我看只有你在我面前正義。
Also the Lord seide to Noe, Entre thou and al thin hous in to the schip, for Y seiy thee iust bifore me in this generacioun.
2 由一切潔淨牲畜中，各取公母七對；由那些不潔淨的牲畜中，各取公母一對；
Of alle clene lyuynge beestis thou schalt take bi seuene and bi seuene, male and female; forsothe of vnclene lyuynge beestis thou schalt take bi tweyne and bi tweyne, male and female;
3 由天空的飛鳥中，也各取公母七對；好在全地面上傳種。
but also of volatils of heuene thou schalt take, bi seuene and bi seuene, male and female, that her seed be saued on the face of al erthe.
4 因為還有七天，我要在地上降雨四十天四十夜，消滅我在地面上所造的一切生物。」
For yit and aftir seuene daies Y schal reyne on erthe fourti daies and fourti nyytis, and Y schal do awey al substaunce which Y made, fro the face of erthe.
5 諾厄全照上主吩咐他的做了。
Therfor Noe dide alle thingis whiche the Lord comaundide to hym.
6 當洪水在地上氾濫時，諾厄已六百歲。
And he was of sixe hundrid yeer, whanne the watris of the greet flood flowiden on erthe.
7 諾厄和他的兒子，他的妻子和他的兒媳，同他進了方舟，為躲避洪水。
And Noe entride in to the schip, and hise sones, and hise wijf, and the wyues of his sones, entriden with him for the watris of the greet flood.
8 潔淨的牲畜和不潔淨的牲畜，飛鳥和各種在地上爬行的動物，
And of lyuynge beestis clene and vnclene, and of briddis of heuene, and of ech beeste which is moued on erthe,
9 一對一對地同諾厄進了方舟；都是一公一母，照天主對他所吩咐的。
bi tweyne and bi tweyne, male and female entriden to Noe in to the schip, as the Lord comaundide to Noe.
10 七天一過，洪水就在地上氾濫。
And whanne seuene daies hadden passid, the watris of the greet flood flowiden on erthe.
11 諾厄六百歲那一年，二月十七日那天，所有深淵的泉水都冒出，天上的水閘都開放了；
In the sixe hundrid yeer of the lijf of Noe, in the secunde moneth, in the seuententhe dai of the moneth, alle the wellis of the greet see weren brokun, and the wyndowis of heuene weren opened,
12 大雨在地上下了四十天四十夜。
and reyn was maad on erthe fourti daies and fourti nyytis.
13 正在這一天，諾厄和他的兒子閃、含、耶斐特，他的妻子和他的三個兒媳，一同進了方舟。
In the ende of that dai Noe entride, and Sem, Cham, and Japheth, hise sones, his wijf, and the wyues of hise sones, entriden with hem into the schip.
14 他們八口和所有的野獸、各種牲畜、各種在地上爬行的爬蟲、各種飛禽，
Thei entriden, and ech beeste bi his kynde, and alle werk beestis in her kynde, and ech beeste which is moued on erthe in his kynde, and ech volatil bi his kynde; alle briddis and alle volatils entriden to Noe in to the schip,
15 一切有生氣有血肉的，都一對一對地同諾厄進了方舟。
bi tweyne and bi tweyne of ech fleisch in whiche the spirit of lijf was.
16 凡有血肉的，都是一公一母地進了方舟，如天主對諾厄所吩咐的。隨後上主關了門。
And tho that entriden, entriden male and female of ech fleisch, as God comaundide to hym. And the Lord encloside hym fro with out-forth.
17 洪水在地上氾濫了四十天；水不斷增漲，浮起了方舟，方舟遂由地面上升起。
And the greet flood was maad fourti daies and fourti niytis on erthe, and the watris weren multiplied, and reiseden the schip on hiy fro erthe.
18 洪水洶湧，在地上猛漲，方舟漂浮在水面上。
The watris flowiden greetli, and filliden alle thingis in the face of erthe. Forsothe the schip was borun on the watris.
19 洪水在地上一再猛漲，天下所有的高山也都沒了頂；
And the watris hadden maistrie greetli on erthe, and alle hiye hillis vndur alle heuene weren hilid;
20 洪水高出淹沒的群山十有五肘。
the watyr was hiyere bi fiftene cubitis ouer the hilis whiche it hilide.
21 凡地上行動而有血肉的生物：飛禽、牲畜、野獸，在地上爬行的爬蟲，以及所有的人全滅亡了；
And ech fleisch was wastid that was moued on erthe, of briddis, of lyuynge beestis, of vnresonable beestis, and of alle `reptilis that crepen on erthe.
22 凡在旱地上以鼻呼吸的生靈都死了。
Alle men, and alle thingis in whiche the brething of lijf was in erthe, weren deed.
23 這樣，天主消滅了在地面上的一切生物，由人以至於牲畜、爬蟲以及天空中的飛鳥，這一切都由地上消滅了，只剩下諾厄和同他在方舟內的人物。
And God dide awei al substaunce that was on erthe, fro man til to beeste, as wel a crepynge beeste as the briddis of heuene; and tho weren doon awei fro erthe. Forsothe Noe dwellide aloone, and thei that weren with hym in the schip.
24 洪水在地上氾濫了一百五十天。
And the watris of the greet flood ouereyeden the erthe an hundrid and fifti daies.
The Great Flood
