Genesis 8
1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters were assuaged;
神ノアおよび彼とともに方舟にある諸の生物と諸の家畜を眷念ひたまひて神乃ち風を地の上に吹しめたまひければ水減りたり
2 The fountains also of the deep, and the windows of heaven were stopped; and the rain from heaven was restrained.
亦淵の源と天の戸閉塞りて天よりの雨止ぬ
3 And the waters returned from off the earth, gradually returning; and the waters were abated after the end of the hundred and fifty days.
是に於て水次第に地より退き百五十日を經てのち水減り
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
方舟は七月に至り其月の十七日にアララテの山に止りぬ
5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen;
水次第に減て十月に至りしが十月の月朔に山々の嶺現れたり
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made;
四十日を經てのちノア其方舟に作りし窓を啓て
7 And he sent forth a raven which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
鴉を放出ちけるが水の地に涸るまで往來しをれり
8 He then sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground.
彼地の面より水の減少しかを見んとて亦鴿を放出いだしけるが
9 But the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him unto the ark; for there was water on the face of the whole earth; then he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her into the ark.
鴿其足の跖を止べき處を得ずして彼に還りて方舟に至れり其は水全地の面にありたればなり彼乃ち其手を舒て之を執へ方舟の中におのれの所に接入たり
10 And he stayed yet another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
尚又七日待て再び鴿を方舟より放出ちけるが
11 And the dove came in to him at the time of the evening; and, lo, an olive-leaf plucked off was in her mouth; so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
鴿暮におよびて彼に還れり視よ其口に橄欖の若葉ありき是に於てノア地より水の減少しをしれり
12 And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned not again unto him any more.
尚又七日まちて鴿を放出ちけるが再び彼の所に歸らざりき
13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from off the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
六百一年の一月の月朔に水地に涸たりノア乃ち方舟の蓋を撤きて視しに視よ土の面は燥てありぬ
14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth perfectly dried up.
二月の二十七日に至りて地乾きたり
15 And God spoke unto Noah, saying,
爰に神ノアに語りて言給はく
16 Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
汝および汝の妻と汝の子等と汝の子等の妻ともに方舟を出べし
17 Every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, bring forth with thee; that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
汝とともにある諸の肉なる諸の生物諸の肉なる者即ち鳥家畜および地に匍ふ諸の昆蟲を率いでよ此等は地に饒く生育地の上に生且殖増すべし
18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
ノアと其子等と其妻および其子等の妻ともに出たり
19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark.
諸の獸諸の昆蟲および諸の鳥等凡そ地に動く者種類に從ひて方舟より出たり
20 And Noah built an altar unto the Lord, and he took of every clean cattle, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.
ノア、ヱホバのために壇を築き諸の潔き獸と諸の潔き鳥を取て燔祭を壇の上に獻げたり
21 And the Lord smelled the sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for the sake of man; although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth: neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
ヱホバ其馨き香を聞ぎたまひてヱホバ其意に謂たまひけるは我再び人の故に因て地を詛ふことをせじ其は人の心の圖維るところ其幼少時よりして惡かればなり又我曾て爲たる如く再び諸の生る物を撃ち滅さじ
22 All the while the earth remaineth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.
地のあらん限りは播種時、收穫時、寒熱夏冬および日と夜息ことあらじ
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
