< 创世记 7 >
1 耶和华对挪亚说:“你和你的全家都要进入方舟;因为在这世代中,我见你在我面前是义人。
And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
2 凡洁净的畜类,你要带七公七母;不洁净的畜类,你要带一公一母;
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that [are] not clean by two, the male and his female.
3 空中的飞鸟也要带七公七母,可以留种,活在全地上;
Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
4 因为再过七天,我要降雨在地上四十昼夜,把我所造的各种活物都从地上除灭。”
For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
And Noah [was] six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 挪亚就同他的妻和儿子儿妇都进入方舟,躲避洪水。
And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 洁净的畜类和不洁净的畜类,飞鸟并地上一切的昆虫,
Of clean beasts, and of beasts that [are] not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 都是一对一对地,有公有母,到挪亚那里进入方舟,正如 神所吩咐挪亚的。
There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 当挪亚六百岁,二月十七日那一天,大渊的泉源都裂开了,天上的窗户也敞开了,
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 正当那日,挪亚和他三个儿子闪、含、雅弗,并挪亚的妻子和三个儿妇,都进入方舟。
In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
14 他们和百兽,各从其类,一切牲畜,各从其类,爬在地上的昆虫,各从其类,一切禽鸟,各从其类,都进入方舟。
They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
15 凡有血肉、有气息的活物,都一对一对地到挪亚那里,进入方舟。
And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life.
16 凡有血肉进入方舟的,都是有公有母,正如 神所吩咐挪亚的。耶和华就把他关在方舟里头。
And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
17 洪水泛滥在地上四十天,水往上长,把方舟从地上漂起。
And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
18 水势浩大,在地上大大地往上长,方舟在水面上漂来漂去。
And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that [were] under the whole heaven, were covered.
Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21 凡在地上有血肉的动物,就是飞鸟、牲畜、走兽,和爬在地上的昆虫,以及所有的人,都死了。
And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
All in whose nostrils [was] the breath of life, of all that [was] in the dry [land], died.
23 凡地上各类的活物,连人带牲畜、昆虫,以及空中的飞鸟,都从地上除灭了,只留下挪亚和那些与他同在方舟里的。
And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained [alive], and they that [were] with him in the ark.
And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
