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.
Then Yahweh said to Noah, “I have seen that out of everyone who is now living, you alone always act righteously. So you and all your family go into the boat.
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;
Take with you seven pairs of every kind of animal that I have said I will accept for sacrifices. Take seven males and seven females. Also take a male and a female from every kind of animal that I have said that I will not accept for sacrifices.
3 ogsaa af Fuglene under Himmelen, syv og syv, Han og Hun, at holde Sæd paa al Jorden i Live.
Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird from all over the earth to keep them alive.
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.
Do this because seven days from now I will cause rain to fall on the earth. It will rain constantly for 40 days and nights. By doing that, I will destroy everything that I have made that is on the earth.”
5 Og Noa gjorde efter alt, hvad Herren bød ham.
Noah did everything that Yahweh told him to do.
6 Og der Noa var seks Hundrede Aar gammel, da kom Floden med Vande over Jorden.
Noah was 600 years old when the flood covered the earth.
7 Og Noa gik ind og hans Sønner og hans Hustru og hans Sønners Hustruer med ham i Arken for Flodens Vande.
Before it started to rain, Noah and his wife and his sons went into the boat to escape from the flood water.
8 Af rent Kvæg og af det Kvæg, som ikke er rent, og af Fuglene og alt det, som kryber paa Jorden,
Pairs of animals, those that God said that he would accept for sacrifices and those that he would not accept for sacrifices, and pairs of birds and pairs of all the kinds of creatures that move close to the ground,
9 gik Par og Par til Noa til Arken, Han og Hun, ligesom Gud havde befalet Noa.
males and females, came to Noah and then went into the boat, just as God told Noah that they would do.
10 Og det skete paa den syvende Dag, da kom Flodens Vande over Jorden.
Seven days later, it started to rain and a flood began to cover 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.
When Noah was 600 years old, (on the 17th day of the second month [of that year/late in October]), all the water that is under the surface of the earth burst forth, and it began to rain so hard that it was as though a dam [MET] in the sky burst open.
12 Og der var Regn paa Jorden fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter.
Rain fell on the earth constantly for 40 days and 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 day that it started to rain, Noah went into the boat with his wife, and his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth and their wives.
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 had already put in the boat some of every kind of wild animal and every kind of livestock and every kind of bird and every other creature that has wings.
15 Og de gik i Arken til Noa, Par og Par af alt Kød, i hvilket der var Livs Aande.
Pairs of all animals came to Noah and entered the boat.
16 Og de, som kom, kom Han og Hun af alle Haande Kød, ligesom Gud havde budet ham; og Herren lukkede til efter ham.
There was a male and a female of each animal that came to Noah, just as God had said they would do. After they were all in the boat, God shut the door.
17 Da kom Floden fyrretyve Dage over Jorden; og Vandet formeredes og opløftede Arken, og den hævedes op over Jorden.
It rained for 40 days and nights, and the flood increased. It flooded until the water lifted the boat above the ground.
18 Og Vandet fik Overhaand og formeredes saare over Jorden; og Arken flød oven paa Vandet.
As he water rose higher and higher, the boat floated on the surface of the water.
19 Og Vandet fik Overhaand saare meget over Jorden; og alle høje Bjerge bleve skjulte, som vare under den ganske Himmel.
The water rose all over the earth until it covered all the mountains.
20 Femten Alen oventil fik Vandet Overhaand, og Bjergene bleve skjulte.
Even the highest mountains were covered by more than (20 feet/6 meters) of water.
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.
As a result, every living creature on the surface of the earth died. That included birds and livestock and wild animals and other creatures that scurry across the ground, and all the people.
22 Alt det, som havde Livs Aande i sin Næse, alt det, som var paa det tørre, døde.
On the land, (everything that breathed/every living thing) 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.
God destroyed every living creature: People and animals and creatures that scurry across the ground and birds. Only Noah and those who were in the boat with him remained alive.
24 Og Vandet havde Overhaand over Jorden hundrede og halvtredsindstyve Dage.
The flood remained like that on the earth for 150 days.
The Great Flood
