Genesis 8
1 God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.
Recordatus autem Deus Noe, cunctorumque animantium, et omnium iumentorum, quæ erant cum eo in arca, adduxit spiritum super terram, et imminutæ sunt aquæ.
2 The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
Et clausi sunt fontes abyssi, et cataractæ cæli: et prohibitæ sunt pluviæ de cælo.
3 The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters receded.
Reversæque sunt aquæ de terra euntes et redeuntes: et cœperunt minui post centum quinquaginta dies.
4 The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
Requievitque arca mense septimo, vigesimo septimo die mensis super montes Armeniæ.
5 The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible.
At vero aquæ ibant et decrescebant usque ad decimum mensem: decimo enim mense, primo die mensis, apparuerunt cacumina montium.
6 At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
Cumque transissent quadraginta dies, aperiens Noe fenestram arcæ, quam fecerat, dimisit corvum:
7 and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.
qui egrediebatur, et non revertebatur, donec siccarentur aquæ super terram.
8 He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,
Emisit quoque columbam post eum, ut videret si iam cessassent aquæ super faciem terræ.
9 but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned into the ship to him, for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
Quæ cum non invenisset ubi requiesceret pes eius, reversa est ad eum in arcam: aquæ enim erant super universam terram: extenditque manum, et apprehensam intulit in arcam.
10 He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
Expectatis autem ultra septem diebus aliis, rursum dimisit columbam ex arca.
11 The dove came back to him at evening and, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.
At illa venit ad eum ad vesperam, portans ramum olivæ virentibus foliis in ore suo. intellexit ergo Noe quod cessassent aquæ super terram.
12 He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.
Expectavitque nihilominus septem alios dies: et emisit columbam, quæ non est reversa ultra ad eum.
13 In the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dry.
Igitur sexcentesimo primo anno, primo mense, prima die mensis imminutæ sunt aquæ super terram: et aperiens Noe tectum arcæ, aspexit, viditque quod exiccata esset superficies terræ.
14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
Mense secundo, septimo et vigesimo die mensis arefacta est terra.
15 God spoke to Noah, saying,
Locutus est autem Deus ad Noe, dicens:
16 “Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
Egredere de arca, tu et uxor tua, filii tui et uxores filiorum tuorum tecum.
17 Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.”
Cuncta animantia, quæ sunt apud te, ex omni carne, tam in volatilibus quam in bestiis et universis reptilibus, quæ reptant super terram, educ tecum, et ingredimini super terram: crescite et multiplicamini super eam.
18 Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.
Egressus est ergo Noe, et filii eius: uxor illius, et uxores filiorum eius cum eo.
19 Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
Sed et omnia animantia, iumenta, et reptilia quæ reptant super terram secundum genus suum, egressa sunt de arca.
20 Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
Ædificavit autem Noe altare Domino: et tollens de cunctis pecoribus et volucribus mundis, obtulit holocausta super altare.
21 The LORD smelled the pleasant aroma. The LORD said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, as I have done.
Odoratusque est Dominus odorem suavitatis, et ait: Nequaquam ultra maledicam terræ propter homines: sensus enim et cogitatio humani cordis in malum prona sunt ab adolescentia sua: non igitur ultra percutiam omnem animam viventem sicut feci.
22 While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
Cunctis diebus terræ, sementis et messis, frigus et æstus, æstas et hiems, nox et dies non requiescent.
