Genesis 7
1 And Jehovah said to Noah, Come, thou and all thy house into the ark, for I have seen thee righteous before me in this generation.
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。
2 Of every clean beast thou shall take to thee by sevens, the male and his female. And of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female.
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；
3 Also of the birds of the heavens by sevens, male and female, to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
空中的飛鳥也要帶七公七母，可以留種，活在全地上；
4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and every living thing that I have made I will destroy from off the face of the ground.
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。」
5 And Noah did according to all that Jehovah commanded him.
挪亞就遵着耶和華所吩咐的行了。
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
當洪水氾濫在地上的時候，挪亞整六百歲。
7 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.
挪亞就同他的妻和兒子兒婦都進入方舟，躲避洪水。
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creeps upon the ground,
潔淨的畜類和不潔淨的畜類，飛鳥並地上一切的昆蟲，
9 there went in two by two to Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
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。
10 And it came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
過了那七天，洪水氾濫在地上。
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
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，
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
四十晝夜降大雨在地上。
13 In the selfsame day Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ark,
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。
14 they, and every beast according to its kind, and all the cattle according to their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth according to its kind, and every bird according to its kind, every bird of every sort.
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。
15 And they went in to Noah into the ark, two by two of all flesh in which is the breath of life.
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。
16 And those that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him. And Jehovah shut him in.
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。
17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth. And the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.
洪水氾濫在地上四十天，水往上長，把方舟從地上漂起。
18 And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
水勢浩大，在地上大大地往上長，方舟在水面上漂來漂去。
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth, and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered,
水勢在地上極其浩大，天下的高山都淹沒了。
20 fifteen cubits upward. The waters prevailed, and the mountains were covered.
水勢比山高過十五肘，山嶺都淹沒了。
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, from birds, to cattle, to beasts, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, and every man.
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。
22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.
凡在旱地上、鼻孔有氣息的生靈都死了。
23 And every living thing was destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, from man, to cattle, to creeping things, and birds of the heavens, and they were destroyed from the earth. And only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ark.
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。
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
水勢浩大，在地上共一百五十天。
The Great Flood
