< Genesis 7 >
1 And the LORD said to Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark: for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
耶和华对挪亚说:“你和你的全家都要进入方舟;因为在这世代中,我见你在我面前是义人。
2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that [are] not clean by two, the male and his female.
凡洁净的畜类,你要带七公七母;不洁净的畜类,你要带一公一母;
3 Of fowls of the air also by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth.
空中的飞鸟也要带七公七母,可以留种,活在全地上;
4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights: and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from the face of the earth.
因为再过七天,我要降雨在地上四十昼夜,把我所造的各种活物都从地上除灭。”
5 And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.
挪亚就遵着耶和华所吩咐的行了。
6 And Noah [was] six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on the earth.
当洪水泛滥在地上的时候,挪亚整六百岁。
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
挪亚就同他的妻和儿子儿妇都进入方舟,躲避洪水。
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that [are] not clean, and of fowls, and of every animal that creepeth upon the earth;
洁净的畜类和不洁净的畜类,飞鸟并地上一切的昆虫,
9 There went in two and two to Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
都是一对一对地,有公有母,到挪亚那里进入方舟,正如 神所吩咐挪亚的。
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
过了那七天,洪水泛滥在地上。
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
当挪亚六百岁,二月十七日那一天,大渊的泉源都裂开了,天上的窗户也敞开了,
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
四十昼夜降大雨在地上。
13 In the same day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark.
正当那日,挪亚和他三个儿子闪、含、雅弗,并挪亚的妻子和三个儿妇,都进入方舟。
14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping animal that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
他们和百兽,各从其类,一切牲畜,各从其类,爬在地上的昆虫,各从其类,一切禽鸟,各从其类,都进入方舟。
15 And they went in to Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, in which [is] the breath of life.
凡有血肉、有气息的活物,都一对一对地到挪亚那里,进入方舟。
16 And they that entered, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
凡有血肉进入方舟的,都是有公有母,正如 神所吩咐挪亚的。耶和华就把他关在方舟里头。
17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth: and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lifted above the earth.
洪水泛滥在地上四十天,水往上长,把方舟从地上漂起。
18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth: and the ark moved upon the face of the waters.
水势浩大,在地上大大地往上长,方舟在水面上漂来漂去。
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills that [were] under the whole heaven were covered.
水势在地上极其浩大,天下的高山都淹没了。
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail: and the mountains were covered.
水势比山高过十五肘,山岭都淹没了。
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping animal that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
凡在地上有血肉的动物,就是飞鸟、牲畜、走兽,和爬在地上的昆虫,以及所有的人,都死了。
22 All in whose nostrils [was] the breath of life, of all that [was] on the dry [land], died.
凡在旱地上、鼻孔有气息的生灵都死了。
23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping animals, and the fowl of heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth; and Noah only remained [alive], and they that [were] with him in the ark.
凡地上各类的活物,连人带牲畜、昆虫,以及空中的飞鸟,都从地上除灭了,只留下挪亚和那些与他同在方舟里的。
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
水势浩大,在地上共一百五十天。
