1 Mosebog 8
1 Da ihukom Gud Noa og alle de vilde Dyr og Kvæget, som var hos ham i Arken; og Gud lod en Storm fare hen over Jorden, saa at Vandet begyndte at falde;
Now God remembred Noah and euery beast, and all the cattell that was with him in the Arke: therefore God made a winde to passe vpon the earth, and the waters ceased.
2 Verdensdybets Kilder og Himmelens Sluser lukkedes, Regnen fra Himmelen standsede,
The fountaines also of the deepe and the windowes of heauen were stopped and the raine from heauen was restrained,
3 og Vandet veg lidt efter lidt bort fra Jorden, og Vandet tog af efter de 150 Dages Forløb.
And the waters returned from aboue the earth, going and returning: and after the ende of the hundreth and fiftieth day the waters abated.
4 Paa den syttende Dag i den syvende Maaned sad Arken fast paa Ararats Bjerge,
And in the seuenth moneth, in the seuenteenth day of the moneth, the Arke rested vpon the mountaines of Ararat.
5 og Vandet vedblev at synke indtil den tiende Maaned, og paa den første Dag i denne Maaned dukkede Bjergenes Toppe frem.
And the waters were going and decreasing vntill the tenth moneth: in the tenth moneth, and in the first day of the moneth were the toppes of the mountaines seene.
6 Da der var gaaet fyrretyve Dage: aabnede Noa den Luge, han havde lavet paa Arken,
So after fourtie dayes, Noah opened the windowe of the Arke, which he had made,
7 og sendte en Ravn ud; den fløj frem og tilbage, indtil Vandet var tørret bort fra Jorden.
And sent forth a rauen, which went out going forth and returning, vntill the waters were dried vp vpon the earth.
8 Da sendte han en Due ud for at se, om Vandet var sunket fra Jordens Overflade;
Againe he sent a doue from him, that he might see if the waters were diminished from off the earth.
9 men Duen fandt intet Sted at sætte sin Fod og vendte tilbage til ham i Arken, fordi der endnu var Vand over hele Jorden; og han rakte Haanden ud og tog den ind i Arken til sig.
But the doue found no rest for the sole of her foote: therefore she returned vnto him into the Arke (for the waters were vpon the whole earth) and he put forth his hand, and receiued her, and tooke her to him into the Arke.
10 Derpaa biede han yderligere syv Dage og sendte saa atter Duen ud fra Arken;
And he abode yet other seuen dayes, and againe he sent forth the doue out of the Arke.
11 ved Aftenstid kom Duen tilbage til ham, og se, den havde et friskt Olieblad i Næbbet. Da skønnede Noa, at Vandet var svundet bort fra Jorden.
And the doue came to him in ye euening, and loe, in her mouth was an oliue leafe that she had pluckt: whereby Noah knewe that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12 Derpaa biede han syv Dage til, og da han saa sendte Duen ud, kom den ikke mere tilbage til ham.
Notwithstanding he wayted yet other seuen dayes, and sent forth the doue, which returned not againe vnto him any more.
13 I Noas 601ste Leveaar paa den første Dag i den første Maaned var Vandet tørret bort fra Jorden. Da tog Noa Dækket af Arken, og da han saa sig om, se, da var Jordens Overflade tør.
And in the sixe hundreth and one yeere, in the first day of the first moneth the waters were dryed vp from off the earth: and Noah remoued the couering of the Arke and looked, and beholde, the vpper part of the ground was drie.
14 Paa den syv og tyvende Dag i den anden Maaned var Jorden tør.
And in the second moneth, in the seuen and twentieth day of the moneth was the earth drie.
15 Da sagde Gud til Noa:
Then God spake to Noah, saying,
16 »Gaa ud af Arken med din Hustru, dine Sønner og dine Sønnekoner
Goe forth of the Arke, thou and thy wife, and thy sonnes and thy sonnes wiues with thee.
17 og for alle Dyr, der er hos dig, alt Kød, Fugle, Kvæg og alt Kryb, der kryber paa Jorden, ud med dig, at de kan vrimle paa Jorden og blive frugtbare og mangfoldige paa Jorden!«
Bring forth with thee euery beast that is with thee, of all flesh, both foule and cattell, and euery thing that creepeth and moueth vpon the earth, that they may breede abundantly in ye earth, and bring forth fruite and increase vpon ye earth.
18 Da gik Noa ud med sine Sønner, sin Hustru og sine Sønnekoner;
So Noah came forth, and his sonnes, and his wife, and his sonnes wiues with him.
19 og alle de vildtlevende Dyr, alt Kvæget, alle Fuglene og alt Krybet, der kryber paa Jorden, efter deres Slægter, gik ud af Arken.
Euery beast, euery creeping thing, and euery foule, all that moueth vpon the earth after their kindes went out of the Arke.
20 Derpaa byggede Noa HERREN et Alter og tog nogle af alle de rene Dyr og Fugle og ofrede Brændofre paa Alteret.
Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and tooke of euery cleane beast, and of euery cleane foule, and offered burnt offerings vpon the altar.
21 Og da HERREN indaandede den liflige Duft, sagde han til sig selv: »Jeg vil aldrig mere forbande Jorden for Menneskenes Skyld, thi Menneskehjertets Higen er ond fra Ungdommen af, og jeg vil aldrig mere tilintetgøre alt, hvad der lever, saaledes som jeg nu har gjort!
And the Lord smellled a sauour of rest, and the Lord said in his heart, I will hencefoorth curse the ground no more for mans cause: for the imagination of mans heart is euill, euen from his youth: neither will I smite any more all things liuing, as I haue done.
22 Herefter skal, saa længe Jorden staar, Sæd og Høst, Kulde og Hede, Sommer og Vinter, Dag og Nat ikke ophøre!«
Hereafter seede time and haruest, and colde and heate, and sommer and winter, and day and night shall not cease, so long as ye earth remaineth.
