Genesis 8
1 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.
recordatus autem Deus Noe cunctarumque animantium et omnium iumentorum quae erant cum eo in arca adduxit spiritum super terram et inminutae sunt aquae
2 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.
et clausi sunt fontes abyssi et cataractae caeli et prohibitae sunt pluviae de caelo
3 And watrys turneden ayen fro erthe, and yeden ayen, and bigunnen to be decreessid aftir an hundrid and fifti daies.
reversaeque aquae de terra euntes et redeuntes et coeperunt minui post centum quinquaginta dies
4 And the schip restide in the seuenthe monthe, in the seuene and twentithe dai of the monthe, on the hillis of Armenye.
requievitque arca mense septimo vicesima septima die mensis super montes Armeniae
5 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.
at vero aquae ibant et decrescebant usque ad decimum mensem decimo enim mense prima die mensis apparuerunt cacumina montium
6 And whanne fourti daies weren passid, Noe openyde the wyndow of the schip which he hadde maad, and sente out a crowe,
cumque transissent quadraginta dies aperiens Noe fenestram arcae quam fecerat dimisit corvum
7 which yede out, and turnede not ayen til the watris weren dried on erthe.
qui egrediebatur et revertebatur donec siccarentur aquae super terram
8 Also Noe sente out a culuer aftir hym, to se if the watris hadden ceessid thanne on the face of erthe;
emisit quoque columbam post eum ut videret si iam cessassent aquae super faciem terrae
9 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.
quae cum non invenisset ubi requiesceret pes eius reversa est ad eum in arcam aquae enim erant super universam terram extenditque manum et adprehensam intulit in arcam
10 Sotheli whanne othere seuene daies weren abedun aftirward, eft he leet out a culuer fro the schip;
expectatis autem ultra septem diebus aliis rursum dimisit columbam ex arca
11 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;
at illa venit ad eum ad vesperam portans ramum olivae virentibus foliis in ore suo intellexit ergo Noe quod cessassent aquae super terram
12 and neuerthelesse he abood seuene othere daies, and sente out a culuer, which turnede `no more ayen to hym.
expectavitque nihilominus septem alios dies et emisit columbam quae non est reversa ultra ad eum
13 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.
igitur sescentesimo primo anno primo mense prima die mensis inminutae sunt aquae super terram et aperiens Noe tectum arcae aspexit viditque quod exsiccata esset superficies terrae
14 In the secunde monethe, in the seuene and twentithe dai of the monethe, the erthe was maad drie.
mense secundo septima et vicesima die mensis arefacta est terra
15 Sotheli the Lord spak to Noe;
locutus est autem Deus ad Noe dicens
16 and seide, Go out of the schip, thou, and thi wijf, thi sones, and the wyues of thi sones with thee;
egredere de arca tu et uxor tua filii tui et uxores filiorum tuorum tecum
17 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.
cuncta animantia quae sunt apud te ex omni carne tam in volatilibus quam in bestiis et in universis reptilibus quae reptant super terram educ tecum et ingredimini super terram crescite et multiplicamini super eam
18 Therfor Noe yede out, and hise sones, and his wijf, and the wyues of hise sones with hym;
egressus est ergo Noe et filii eius uxor illius et uxores filiorum eius cum eo
19 but also alle lyuynge beestis, and werk beestis, and `reptils that crepen on erthe, bi her kynde, yeden out of the schip.
sed et omnia animantia iumenta et reptilia quae repunt super terram secundum genus suum arcam egressa sunt
20 Forsothe Noe bildide an auter to the Lord, and he took of alle clene beestis and briddis, and offride brent sacrifices on the auter.
aedificavit autem Noe altare Domino et tollens de cunctis pecoribus et volucribus mundis obtulit holocausta super altare
21 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;
odoratusque est Dominus odorem suavitatis et ait ad eum nequaquam ultra maledicam terrae propter homines sensus enim et cogitatio humani cordis in malum prona sunt ab adulescentia sua non igitur ultra percutiam omnem animantem sicut feci
22 in alle the daies of erthe, seed and ripe corn, coold and heete, somer and wyntir, nyyt and dai, shulen not reste.
cunctis diebus terrae sementis et messis frigus et aestus aestas et hiemps nox et dies non requiescent
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
