Genesis 7
1 Then Yahweh said to Noah, “I have seen that out of everyone who is now living, you alone always act righteously. So you and all your family go into the boat.
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 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of animal that I have said I will accept for sacrifices. Take seven males and seven females. Also take a male and a female from every kind of animal that I have said that I will not accept for sacrifices.
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 Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird from all over the earth to keep them alive.
4 Do this because seven days from now I will cause rain to fall on the earth. It will rain constantly for 40 days and nights. By doing that, I will destroy everything that I have made that is on 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 Noah did everything that Yahweh told him to do.
Lalu Nuh melakukan segala yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepadanya.
6 Noah was 600 years old when the flood covered the earth.
Nuh berumur 600 tahun ketika terjadi banjir di bumi.
7 Before it started to rain, Noah and his wife and his sons went into the boat to escape from the flood water.
Nuh dan istrinya, dan anak-anaknya beserta istri-istri mereka, masuk ke dalam kapal itu untuk menyelamatkan diri dari banjir.
8 Pairs of animals, those that God said that he would accept for sacrifices and those that he would not accept for sacrifices, and pairs of birds and pairs of all the kinds of creatures that move close to the ground,
Seekor jantan dan seekor betina dari setiap jenis burung dan binatang lainnya--baik yang halal maupun yang haram--
9 males and females, came to Noah and then went into the boat, just as God told Noah that they would do.
masuk ke dalam kapal itu bersama-sama dengan Nuh, sesuai dengan perintah Allah.
10 Seven days later, it started to rain and a flood began to cover the earth.
Tujuh hari kemudian banjir datang melanda bumi.
11 When Noah was 600 years old, (on the 17th day of the second month [of that year/late in October]), all the water that is under the surface of the earth burst forth, and it began to rain so hard that it was as though a dam [MET] in the sky burst open.
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 Rain fell on the earth constantly for 40 days and nights.
dan hujan turun selama empat puluh hari empat puluh malam.
13 On the day that it started to rain, Noah went into the boat with his wife, and his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth and their wives.
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 had already put in the boat some of every kind of wild animal and every kind of livestock and every kind of bird and every other creature that has wings.
Bersama-sama dengan mereka masuk pula setiap jenis burung dan binatang lainnya, baik yang jinak maupun yang liar, yang besar maupun yang kecil.
15 Pairs of all animals came to Noah and entered the boat.
Seekor jantan dan seekor betina dari setiap jenis makhluk hidup masuk ke dalam kapal itu bersama-sama dengan Nuh,
16 There was a male and a female of each animal that came to Noah, just as God had said they would do. After they were all in the boat, God shut the door.
sesuai dengan perintah Allah kepadanya. Setelah semuanya masuk, TUHAN menutup pintu kapal.
17 It rained for 40 days and nights, and the flood increased. It flooded until the water lifted the boat above the ground.
Banjir itu terus melanda selama empat puluh hari, dan air menjadi cukup tinggi sehingga kapal itu dapat mengapung.
18 As he water rose higher and higher, the boat floated on the surface of the water.
Air semakin tinggi, dan kapal itu terapung-apung pada permukaan air.
19 The water rose all over the earth until it covered all the mountains.
Air itu terus bertambah tinggi, sehingga tergenanglah gunung-gunung yang paling tinggi.
20 Even the highest mountains were covered by more than (20 feet/6 meters) of water.
Air terus naik sampai mencapai ketinggian tujuh meter di atas puncak-puncak gunung.
21 As a result, every living creature on the surface of the earth died. That included birds and livestock and wild animals and other creatures that scurry across the ground, and all the people.
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 On the land, (everything that breathed/every living thing) died.
23 God destroyed every living creature: People and animals and creatures that scurry across the ground and birds. Only Noah and those who were in the boat with him remained alive.
24 The flood remained like that on the earth for 150 days.
Air itu tidak kunjung surut selama 150 hari.
The Great Flood
