Genesis 8

1 And God remembers Noah, and every living thing, and all the livestock which [are] with him in the Ark, and God causes a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside,

Forsothe the Lord hadde mynde of Noe, and of alle lyuynge beestis, and of alle werk beestis, that weren with hym in the schip; and brouyte a wynd on the erthe.

2 and the fountains of the deep and the network of the heavens are closed, and the shower is restrained from the heavens.

And watris weren decreessid, and the wellis of the see weren closid, and the wyndowis of heuene weren closid, and reynes of heuene weren ceessid.

3 And the waters return from off the earth, going on and returning; and the waters are lacking at the end of one hundred and fifty days.

And watrys turneden ayen fro erthe, and yeden ayen, and bigunnen to be decreessid aftir an hundrid and fifti daies.

4 And the Ark rests, in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat;

And the schip restide in the seuenthe monthe, in the seuene and twentithe dai of the monthe, on the hillis of Armenye.

5 and the waters have been going and decreasing until the tenth month; in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, the heads of the mountains appeared.

And sotheli the watrys yeden and decresiden til to the tenthe monethe, for in the tenthe monethe, in the firste dai of the monethe, the coppis of hillis apperiden.

6 And it comes to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opens the window of the Ark which he made,

And whanne fourti daies weren passid, Noe openyde the wyndow of the schip which he hadde maad, and sente out a crowe,

7 and he sends forth the raven, and it goes out, going out and turning back until the drying of the waters from off the earth.

which yede out, and turnede not ayen til the watris weren dried on erthe.

8 And he sends forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground,

Also Noe sente out a culuer aftir hym, to se if the watris hadden ceessid thanne on the face of erthe;

9 and the dove has not found rest for the sole of her foot, and she turns back to him, to the Ark, for waters [are] on the face of all the earth, and he puts out his hand, and takes her, and brings her in to him, into the Ark.

and whanne the culuer foond not where hir foot schulde reste, sche turnede ayen to hym in to the schip, for the watris weren on al erthe; and Noe helde forth his hoond, and brouyte the culuer takun in to the schip.

10 And he stays yet seven more days, and adds to send forth the dove from the Ark;

Sotheli whanne othere seuene daies weren abedun aftirward, eft he leet out a culuer fro the schip;

11 and the dove comes to him at evening, and behold, an olive leaf [is] torn off in her mouth; and Noah knows that the waters have been lightened from off the earth.

and sche cam to hym at euentid, and bare in hir mouth a braunche of olyue tre with greene leeuys. Therfor Noe vndirstood that the watris hadden ceessid on erthe;

12 And he stays yet seven more days, and sends forth the dove, and it did not add to return to him anymore.

and neuerthelesse he abood seuene othere daies, and sente out a culuer, which turnede `no more ayen to hym.

13 And it comes to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, the waters have been dried from off the earth; and Noah turns aside the covering of the Ark, and looks, and behold, the face of the ground has been dried.

Therfor in the sixe hundrid and o yeer of the lijf of Noe, in the firste monethe, in the firste day of the monethe, watris weren decreessid on erthe; and Noe openede the roof of the schip, and bihelde and seiy that the face of the erthe was dried.

14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth has become dry.

In the secunde monethe, in the seuene and twentithe dai of the monethe, the erthe was maad drie.

15 And God speaks to Noah, saying, “Go out from the Ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons’ wives with you;

Sotheli the Lord spak to Noe;

16 every living thing that [is] with you, of all flesh, among bird, and among livestock, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth, bring out with you;

and seide, Go out of the schip, thou, and thi wijf, thi sones, and the wyues of thi sones with thee;

17 and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.”

and lede out with thee alle lyuynge beestis that ben at thee of ech fleisch, as wel in volatilis as in vnresonable beestis, and alle `reptils that crepen on erthe; and entre ye on the erthe, encreesse ye, and be ye multiplied on erthe.

18 And Noah goes out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him;

Therfor Noe yede out, and hise sones, and his wijf, and the wyues of hise sones with hym;

19 every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the Ark.

but also alle lyuynge beestis, and werk beestis, and `reptils that crepen on erthe, bi her kynde, yeden out of the schip.

20 And Noah builds an altar to YHWH, and takes from every clean beast and from every clean bird, and causes burnt-offerings to ascend on the altar;

Forsothe Noe bildide an auter to the Lord, and he took of alle clene beestis and briddis, and offride brent sacrifices on the auter.

21 and YHWH smells the refreshing fragrance, and YHWH says to His heart, “I do not continue to disfavor the ground because of man anymore, though the imagination of the heart of man [is] evil from his youth; and I do not continue to strike all living anymore, as I have done;

And the Lord sauerede the odour of swetnesse, and seide to hym, Y schal no more curse the erthe for men, for the wit and thouyt of mannus herte ben redi in to yuel fro yong wexynge age; therfor Y schal no more smyte ech lyuynge soule as Y dide;

22 during all [the] days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night never cease.”

in alle the daies of erthe, seed and ripe corn, coold and heete, somer and wyntir, nyyt and dai, shulen not reste.

A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
