1 Mosebog 7
1 Og Herren sagde til Noa: Gak ind, du og dit ganske Hus, i Arken; thi dig har jeg set retfærdig for mig i denne Slægt.
And the Lord said to him: “Enter the ark, you and all your house. For I have seen you to be just in my sight, within this generation.
2 Tag dig af alle Haande rent Kvæg syv og syv, Han og Hun; men af det Kvæg, som er urent, et Par, Han og Hun;
From all the clean animals, take seven and seven, the male and the female. Yet truly, from animals that are unclean, take two and two, the male and the female.
3 ogsaa af Fuglene under Himmelen, syv og syv, Han og Hun, at holde Sæd paa al Jorden i Live.
But also from the birds of the air, take seven and seven, the male and the female, so that offspring may be saved upon the face of the whole earth.
4 Thi end om syv Dage vil jeg lade regne paa Jorden fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter og udslette af Jorden alle levende Væsener, som jeg har gjort.
For from that point, and after seven days, I will rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. And I will wipe away every substance that I have made, from the surface of the earth.”
5 Og Noa gjorde efter alt, hvad Herren bød ham.
Therefore, Noah did all things just as the Lord had commanded him.
6 Og der Noa var seks Hundrede Aar gammel, da kom Floden med Vande over Jorden.
And he was six hundred years old when the waters of the great flood inundated the earth.
7 Og Noa gik ind og hans Sønner og hans Hustru og hans Sønners Hustruer med ham i Arken for Flodens Vande.
And Noah entered into the ark, and his sons, his wife, and the wives of his sons with him, because of the waters of the great flood.
8 Af rent Kvæg og af det Kvæg, som ikke er rent, og af Fuglene og alt det, som kryber paa Jorden,
And from the animals both clean and unclean, and from the birds, and from everything that moves upon the earth,
9 gik Par og Par til Noa til Arken, Han og Hun, ligesom Gud havde befalet Noa.
two by two they were brought into the ark to Noah, male and female, just as the Lord had instructed Noah.
10 Og det skete paa den syvende Dag, da kom Flodens Vande over Jorden.
And when seven days had passed, the waters of the great flood inundated the earth.
11 I det Aar, der Noa var seks Hundrede Aar gammel, i den anden Maaned, paa den syttende Dag i Maaneden, paa den Dag opbrast alle Kilder i den store Afgrund, og Himmelens Sluser oplodes.
In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great abyss were released, and the floodgates of heaven were opened.
12 Og der var Regn paa Jorden fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter.
And rain came upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.
13 Paa den selvsamme Dag gik Noa og Sem og Kam og Jafet, Noas Sønner, og Noas Hustru og hans Sønners tre Hustruer med dem i Arken;
On the very same day, Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and his wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark.
14 de og alle Haande vilde Dyr efter deres Slags og alle Haande Kvæg efter deres Slags og alle Haande Kryb, som krybe paa Jorden, efter deres Slags, og alle Haande Fugle efter deres Slags, alt det, som kan flyve, alt det, som har Vinger.
They and every animal according to its kind, and all the cattle in their kind, and everything that moves upon the earth in their kind, and every flying thing according to its kind, all the birds and all that can fly,
15 Og de gik i Arken til Noa, Par og Par af alt Kød, i hvilket der var Livs Aande.
entered the ark to Noah, two by two out of all that is flesh, in which there was the breath of life.
16 Og de, som kom, kom Han og Hun af alle Haande Kød, ligesom Gud havde budet ham; og Herren lukkede til efter ham.
And those that entered went in male and female, from all that is flesh, just as God had instructed him. And then the Lord closed him in from the outside.
17 Da kom Floden fyrretyve Dage over Jorden; og Vandet formeredes og opløftede Arken, og den hævedes op over Jorden.
And the great flood occurred for forty days upon the earth. And the waters were increased, and they lifted the ark high above the land.
18 Og Vandet fik Overhaand og formeredes saare over Jorden; og Arken flød oven paa Vandet.
For they overflowed greatly, and they filled everything on the surface of the earth. And then the ark was carried across the waters.
19 Og Vandet fik Overhaand saare meget over Jorden; og alle høje Bjerge bleve skjulte, som vare under den ganske Himmel.
And the waters prevailed beyond measure across the earth. And all the lofty mountains under the whole heaven were covered.
20 Femten Alen oventil fik Vandet Overhaand, og Bjergene bleve skjulte.
The water was fifteen cubits higher than the mountains which it covered.
21 Saa udaandede alt Kød, som rørte sig paa Jorden, af Fugle og af Kvæg og af vilde Dyr og af al den Vrimmel, som vrimlede paa Jorden, og hvert Menneske.
And all flesh was consumed which moved upon the earth: flying things, animals, wild beasts, and all moving things that crawl upon the ground. And all men,
22 Alt det, som havde Livs Aande i sin Næse, alt det, som var paa det tørre, døde.
and everything in which there is the breath of life on earth, died.
23 Og hvert Væsen udslettedes, som var paa Jorden, fra Mennesket indtil Kvæg, indtil Kryb og indtil Fugle under Himmelen, og de bleve udslettede af Jorden; og Noa blev alene igen, og hvad der var med ham i Arken.
And he wiped away all substance that was upon the earth, from man to animal, the crawling things just as much as the flying things of the air. And they were wiped away from the earth. But only Noah remained, and those who were with him in the ark.
24 Og Vandet havde Overhaand over Jorden hundrede og halvtredsindstyve Dage.
And the waters possessed the earth for one hundred and fifty days.
