Genesis 7
1 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.
Derpå sagde HERREN til Noa: Gå ind i Arken med hele dit Hus, thi dig har jeg fundet retfærdig for mine Øjne i denne Slægt.
2 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.
Af alle rene Dyr skal du tage syv Par, Han og Hun, og af alle urene Dyr eet Par, Han og Hun,
3 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.
ligeledes af Himmelens Fugle syv Par, Han og Hun, for at de kan forplante sig på hele Jorden.
4 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.”
Thi om syv Dage vil jeg lade det regne på Jorden i fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter og udslette alle Væsener, som jeg har gjort, fra Jordens Flade."
5 Therefore, Noah did all things just as the Lord had commanded him.
Og Noa gjorde ganske som HERREN havde pålagt ham.
6 And he was six hundred years old when the waters of the great flood inundated the earth.
Noa var 600 År gammel, da Vandfloden kom over Jorden.
7 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.
Noa gik med sine Sønner, sin Hustru og sine Sønnekoner ind i Arken for at undslippe Flodens Vande.
8 And from the animals both clean and unclean, and from the birds, and from everything that moves upon the earth,
De rene og de urene Dyr, Fuglene og alt, hvad der kryber på Jorden,
9 two by two they were brought into the ark to Noah, male and female, just as the Lord had instructed Noah.
gik Par for Par ind i Arken til Noa, Han og Hundyr, som Gud havde pålagt Noa.
10 And when seven days had passed, the waters of the great flood inundated the earth.
Da nu syv Dage var omme, kom Flodens Vande over Jorden;
11 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.
i Noas 600de Leveår på den syttende Dag i den anden Måned, den Dag brast det store Verdensdybs Kilder, og Himmelens Sluser åbnedes,
12 And rain came upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.
og Regnen faldt over Jorden i fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter.
13 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.
Selvsamme Dag gik Noa ind i Arken og med ham hans Sønner Sem, Kam og Jafet, hans Hustru og hans tre Sønnekoner
14 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,
og desuden alle vildtlevende Dyr efter deres Arter, alt Kvæg efter dets Arter, alt Kryb på Jorden efter dets Arter og alle Fugle efter deres Arter, alle Fugle, alt, hvad der har Vinger;
15 entered the ark to Noah, two by two out of all that is flesh, in which there was the breath of life.
af alt Kød, som har Livsånde, gik Par for Par ind i Arken til Noa;
16 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.
Han og Hundyr af alt Kød gik ind, som Gud havde påbudt, og HERREN lukkede efter ham.
17 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.
Da kom Vandfloden over Jorden i fyrretyve Dage, og Vandet steg og løftede Arken, så den hævedes over Jorden.
18 For they overflowed greatly, and they filled everything on the surface of the earth. And then the ark was carried across the waters.
Og Vandet steg og stod højt over Jorden, og Arken flød på Vandet;
19 And the waters prevailed beyond measure across the earth. And all the lofty mountains under the whole heaven were covered.
og Vandet steg og steg over Jorden, så de højeste Bjerge under Himmelen stod under Vand;
20 The water was fifteen cubits higher than the mountains which it covered.
femten Alen stod Vandet over dem, så Bjergene stod helt under Vand.
21 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,
Da omkom alt Kød, som rørte sig på Jorden, Fugle, Kvæg, vildtlevende Dyr og alt Kryb på Jorden og alle Mennesker;
22 and everything in which there is the breath of life on earth, died.
alt, i hvis Næse det var Livets Ånde, alt, hvad der var på det faste Land, døde.
23 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.
Således udslettedes alle Væsener, der var på Jordens Flade, Mennesker, Kvæg, Kryb og Himmelens Fugle; de udslettedes af Jorden, og tilbage blev kun Noa og de, der var hos ham i Arken.
24 And the waters possessed the earth for one hundred and fifty days.
Vandet steg over Jorden i 150 Dage.
The Great Flood
