Genesis 7
1 And the Lord said to him: Go in thou and all thy house into the ark: for thee I have seen just before me in this generation.
Lalu berkatalah TUHAN kepada Nuh, "Aku melihat bahwa engkau satu-satunya orang yang melakukan kehendak-Ku. Jadi, masuklah ke dalam kapal itu bersama-sama dengan seluruh keluargamu.
2 Of all clean beasts take seven and seven, the male and the female.
Bawalah juga tujuh pasang dari setiap jenis burung dan binatang lainnya yang halal, sedangkan dari yang haram hanya satu pasang saja dari setiap jenis. Lakukanlah itu supaya dari setiap jenis binatang ada yang luput dari kebinasaan dan bisa berkembang biak lagi di bumi.
3 But of the beasts that are unclean two and two, the male and the female. Of the fowls also of the air seven and seven, the male and the female: that seed may be saved upon the face of the whole earth.
4 For yet a while, and after seven days, I will rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will destroy every substance that I have made, from the face of the earth.
Tujuh hari lagi Aku akan menurunkan hujan yang tidak akan reda selama empat puluh hari empat puluh malam, supaya makhluk hidup yang telah Kuciptakan itu binasa."
5 And Noe did all things which the Lord had commanded him.
Lalu Nuh melakukan segala yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepadanya.
6 And he was six hundred years old, when the waters of the flood overflowed the earth.
Nuh berumur 600 tahun ketika terjadi banjir di bumi.
7 And Noe went in and his sons, his wife and the wives of his sons with him into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
Nuh dan istrinya, dan anak-anaknya beserta istri-istri mereka, masuk ke dalam kapal itu untuk menyelamatkan diri dari banjir.
8 And of beasts clean and unclean, and of fowls, and of every thing that moveth upon the earth,
Seekor jantan dan seekor betina dari setiap jenis burung dan binatang lainnya--baik yang halal maupun yang haram--
9 Two and two went in to Noe into the ark, male and female, as the Lord had commanded Noe.
masuk ke dalam kapal itu bersama-sama dengan Nuh, sesuai dengan perintah Allah.
10 And after the seven days were passed, the waters of the flood overflowed the earth.
Tujuh hari kemudian banjir datang melanda bumi.
11 In the six hundredth year of the life of Noe, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the flood gates of heaven were opened:
Pada waktu Nuh berumur 600 tahun, pada tanggal tujuh belas bulan dua, pecahlah segala mata air di bawah bumi. Segala pintu air di langit terbuka,
12 And the rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
dan hujan turun selama empat puluh hari empat puluh malam.
13 In the selfsame day Noe, and Sem, and Cham, and Japheth his sons: his wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the ark:
Pada hari itu juga, Nuh dan istrinya masuk ke dalam kapal itu bersama ketiga anaknya, yaitu Sem, Yafet dan Ham beserta istri-istri mereka.
14 They and every beast according to its kind, and all the cattle in their kind, and every thing that moveth upon the earth according to its kind, and every fowl according to its kind, all birds, and all that fly,
Bersama-sama dengan mereka masuk pula setiap jenis burung dan binatang lainnya, baik yang jinak maupun yang liar, yang besar maupun yang kecil.
15 Went in to Noe into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein was the breath of life.
Seekor jantan dan seekor betina dari setiap jenis makhluk hidup masuk ke dalam kapal itu bersama-sama dengan Nuh,
16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in on the outside.
sesuai dengan perintah Allah kepadanya. Setelah semuanya masuk, TUHAN menutup pintu kapal.
17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth, and the waters increased, and lifted up the ark on high from the earth.
Banjir itu terus melanda selama empat puluh hari, dan air menjadi cukup tinggi sehingga kapal itu dapat mengapung.
18 For they overflowed exceedingly: and filled all on the face of the earth: and the ark was carried upon the waters.
Air semakin tinggi, dan kapal itu terapung-apung pada permukaan air.
19 And the waters prevailed beyond measure upon the earth: and all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered.
Air itu terus bertambah tinggi, sehingga tergenanglah gunung-gunung yang paling tinggi.
20 The water was fifteen cubits higher than the mountains which it covered.
Air terus naik sampai mencapai ketinggian tujuh meter di atas puncak-puncak gunung.
21 And all flesh was destroyed that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beasts, and of all creeping things that creep upon the earth: and all men.
TUHAN membinasakan segala makhluk yang hidup di bumi ini: Manusia, burung dan binatang darat baik kecil maupun besar. Yang tidak binasa hanyalah Nuh dan semua yang ada bersama-sama dengan dia di dalam kapal itu.
22 And all things wherein there is the breath of life on the earth, died.
23 And he destroyed all the substance that was upon the earth, from man even to beast, and the creeping things and fowls of the air: and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noe only remained, and they that were with him in the ark.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
Air itu tidak kunjung surut selama 150 hari.
The Great Flood
