創世記 7
1 耶和華對挪亞說：「你和你的全家都要進入方舟；因為在這世代中，我見你在我面前是義人。
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 凡潔淨的畜類，你要帶七公七母；不潔淨的畜類，你要帶一公一母；
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 空中的飛鳥也要帶七公七母，可以留種，活在全地上；
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 因為再過七天，我要降雨在地上四十晝夜，把我所造的各種活物都從地上除滅。」
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 挪亞就遵着耶和華所吩咐的行了。
Therfor Noe dide alle thingis whiche the Lord comaundide to hym.
6 當洪水氾濫在地上的時候，挪亞整六百歲。
And he was of sixe hundrid yeer, whanne the watris of the greet flood flowiden on erthe.
7 挪亞就同他的妻和兒子兒婦都進入方舟，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 潔淨的畜類和不潔淨的畜類，飛鳥並地上一切的昆蟲，
And of lyuynge beestis clene and vnclene, and of briddis of heuene, and of ech beeste which is moued on erthe,
9 都是一對一對地，有公有母，到挪亞那裏進入方舟，正如上帝所吩咐挪亞的。
bi tweyne and bi tweyne, male and female entriden to Noe in to the schip, as the Lord comaundide to Noe.
10 過了那七天，洪水氾濫在地上。
And whanne seuene daies hadden passid, the watris of the greet flood flowiden on erthe.
11 當挪亞六百歲，二月十七日那一天，大淵的泉源都裂開了，天上的窗戶也敞開了，
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 四十晝夜降大雨在地上。
and reyn was maad on erthe fourti daies and fourti nyytis.
13 正當那日，挪亞和他三個兒子閃、含、雅弗，並挪亞的妻子和三個兒婦，都進入方舟。
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 他們和百獸，各從其類，一切牲畜，各從其類，爬在地上的昆蟲，各從其類，一切禽鳥，各從其類，都進入方舟。
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 凡有血肉、有氣息的活物，都一對一對地到挪亞那裏，進入方舟。
bi tweyne and bi tweyne of ech fleisch in whiche the spirit of lijf was.
16 凡有血肉進入方舟的，都是有公有母，正如上帝所吩咐挪亞的。耶和華就把他關在方舟裏頭。
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 洪水氾濫在地上四十天，水往上長，把方舟從地上漂起。
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 水勢浩大，在地上大大地往上長，方舟在水面上漂來漂去。
The watris flowiden greetli, and filliden alle thingis in the face of erthe. Forsothe the schip was borun on the watris.
19 水勢在地上極其浩大，天下的高山都淹沒了。
And the watris hadden maistrie greetli on erthe, and alle hiye hillis vndur alle heuene weren hilid;
20 水勢比山高過十五肘，山嶺都淹沒了。
the watyr was hiyere bi fiftene cubitis ouer the hilis whiche it hilide.
21 凡在地上有血肉的動物，就是飛鳥、牲畜、走獸，和爬在地上的昆蟲，以及所有的人，都死了。
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、鼻孔有氣息的生靈都死了。
Alle men, and alle thingis in whiche the brething of lijf was in erthe, weren deed.
23 凡地上各類的活物，連人帶牲畜、昆蟲，以及空中的飛鳥，都從地上除滅了，只留下挪亞和那些與他同在方舟裏的。
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 水勢浩大，在地上共一百五十天。
And the watris of the greet flood ouereyeden the erthe an hundrid and fifti daies.
The Great Flood
