Genesis 7

1 And YHWH says to Noah, “Come, you and all your house, into the Ark, for I have seen you [are] righteous before Me in this generation;

Also the Lord seide to Noe, Entre thou and al thin hous in to the schip, for Y seiy thee iust bifore me in this generacioun.

2 you take seven pairs from all the clean beasts to yourself, a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean—two, a male and its female;

Of alle clene lyuynge beestis thou schalt take bi seuene and bi seuene, male and female; forsothe of vnclene lyuynge beestis thou schalt take bi tweyne and bi tweyne, male and female;

3 also, seven pairs from [each] bird of the heavens, a male and a female, to keep alive seed on the face of all the earth;

but also of volatils of heuene thou schalt take, bi seuene and bi seuene, male and female, that her seed be saued on the face of al erthe.

4 for after seven more days I am sending rain on the earth [for] forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.”

For yit and aftir seuene daies Y schal reyne on erthe fourti daies and fourti nyytis, and Y schal do awey al substaunce which Y made, fro the face of erthe.

5 And Noah does according to all that YHWH has commanded him.

Therfor Noe dide alle thingis whiche the Lord comaundide to hym.

6 And Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the flood of waters has been on the earth.

And he was of sixe hundrid yeer, whanne the watris of the greet flood flowiden on erthe.

7 And Noah goes—and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him—into the Ark, out of the presence of the waters of the flood;

And Noe entride in to the schip, and hise sones, and hise wijf, and the wyues of his sones, entriden with him for the watris of the greet flood.

8 from the clean beast, and from the beast that [is] not clean, and from the bird, and of everything that is creeping on the ground,

And of lyuynge beestis clene and vnclene, and of briddis of heuene, and of ech beeste which is moued on erthe,

9 they have come to Noah two by two into the Ark, a male and a female, as God has commanded Noah.

bi tweyne and bi tweyne, male and female entriden to Noe in to the schip, as the Lord comaundide to Noe.

10 And it comes to pass, after seven days, that waters of the flood have been on the earth.

And whanne seuene daies hadden passid, the watris of the greet flood flowiden on erthe.

11 In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on this day all [the] fountains of the great deep have been broken up, and the network of the heavens has been opened,

In the sixe hundrid yeer of the lijf of Noe, in the secunde moneth, in the seuententhe dai of the moneth, alle the wellis of the greet see weren brokun, and the wyndowis of heuene weren opened,

12 and the shower is on the earth [for] forty days and forty nights.

and reyn was maad on erthe fourti daies and fourti nyytis.

13 On this very same day Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the Ark—

In the ende of that dai Noe entride, and Sem, Cham, and Japheth, hise sones, his wijf, and the wyues of hise sones, entriden with hem into the schip.

14 they, and every living creature after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind (every bird, every wing).

Thei entriden, and ech beeste bi his kynde, and alle werk beestis in her kynde, and ech beeste which is moued on erthe in his kynde, and ech volatil bi his kynde; alle briddis and alle volatils entriden to Noe in to the schip,

15 And they come to Noah, into the Ark, two by two of all the flesh in which [is] a living spirit;

bi tweyne and bi tweyne of ech fleisch in whiche the spirit of lijf was.

16 and they that are coming in, male and female of all flesh, have come in as God has commanded him, and YHWH closes [it] for him.

And tho that entriden, entriden male and female of ech fleisch, as God comaundide to hym. And the Lord encloside hym fro with out-forth.

17 And the flood is on the earth [for] forty days, and the waters multiply and lift up the Ark, and it is raised up from off the earth;

And the greet flood was maad fourti daies and fourti niytis on erthe, and the watris weren multiplied, and reiseden the schip on hiy fro erthe.

18 and the waters are mighty and multiply exceedingly on the earth; and the Ark goes on the face of the waters.

The watris flowiden greetli, and filliden alle thingis in the face of erthe. Forsothe the schip was borun on the watris.

19 And the waters have been very, very mighty on the earth, and all the high mountains are covered which [are] under the whole heavens;

And the watris hadden maistrie greetli on erthe, and alle hiye hillis vndur alle heuene weren hilid;

20 the waters prevailed from above the mountains, and cover [them] fifteen cubits;

the watyr was hiyere bi fiftene cubitis ouer the hilis whiche it hilide.

21 and all flesh expires that is moving on the earth, among bird, and among livestock, and among beast, and among every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth, and all mankind;

And ech fleisch was wastid that was moued on erthe, of briddis, of lyuynge beestis, of vnresonable beestis, and of alle `reptilis that crepen on erthe.

22 all in whose nostrils [is] breath of a living spirit—of all that [is] in the dry land—have died.

Alle men, and alle thingis in whiche the brething of lijf was in erthe, weren deed.

23 And all the substance that is on the face of the ground is wiped away—from man to beast, to creeping thing, and to bird of the heavens; indeed, they are wiped away from the earth, and only Noah is left, and those who [are] with him in the Ark;

And God dide awei al substaunce that was on erthe, fro man til to beeste, as wel a crepynge beeste as the briddis of heuene; and tho weren doon awei fro erthe. Forsothe Noe dwellide aloone, and thei that weren with hym in the schip.

24 and the waters are mighty on the earth [for] one hundred and fifty days.

And the watris of the greet flood ouereyeden the erthe an hundrid and fifti daies.
