< Genesis 7 >

1 Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Ingredere tu, et omnis domus tua in arcam: te enim vidi iustum coram me in generatione hac.
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.
2 Ex omnibus animantibus mundis tolle septena et septena, masculum et feminam: de animantibus vero immundis duo et duo, masculum et feminam.
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.
3 Sed et de volatilibus cæli septena et septena, masculum et feminam: ut salvetur semen super faciem universæ terræ.
Of fowls of the air also by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth.
4 Adhuc enim, et post dies septem ego pluam super terram quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus: et delebo omnem substantiam, quam feci, de superficie terræ.
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.
5 Fecit ergo Noe omnia, quæ mandaverat ei Dominus.
And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.
6 Eratque sexcentorum annorum quando diluvii aquæ inundaverunt super terram.
And Noah [was] six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on the earth.
7 Et ingressus est Noe et filii eius, uxor eius et uxores filiorum eius cum eo in arcam propter aquas diluvii.
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.
8 De animantibus quoque mundis et immundis, et de volucribus, et ex omni, quod movetur super terram,
Of clean beasts, and of beasts that [are] not clean, and of fowls, and of every animal that creepeth upon the earth;
9 duo et duo ingressa sunt ad Noe in arcam, masculus et femina, sicut præceperat Dominus Noe.
There went in two and two to Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 Cumque transissent septem dies, aquæ diluvii inundaverunt super terram.
And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 Anno sexcentesimo vitæ Noe, mense secundo, septimodecimo die mensis, rupti sunt omnes fontes abyssi magnæ, et cataractæ cæli apertæ sunt:
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.
12 et facta est pluvia super terram quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus.
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 In articulo diei illius ingressus est Noe, et Sem, et Cham, et Iapheth filii eius: uxor illius, et tres uxores filiorum eius cum eis in arcam:
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.
14 ipsi et omne animal secundum genus suum, universaque iumenta in genere suo, et omne quod movetur super terram in genere suo, cunctumque volatile secundum genus suum, universæ aves, omnesque volucres
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.
15 ingressæ sunt ad Noe in arcam, bina et bina ex omni carne, in qua erat spiritus vitæ.
And they went in to Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, in which [is] the breath of life.
16 Et quæ ingressa sunt, masculus et femina ex omni carne introierunt, sicut præceperat ei Deus: et inclusit eum Dominus deforis.
And they that entered, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
17 Factumque est diluvium quadraginta diebus super terram: et multiplicatæ sunt aquæ, et elevaverunt arcam in sublime a terra.
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.
18 Vehementer enim inundaverunt: et omnia repleverunt in superficie terræ: porro arca ferebatur super aquas.
And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth: and the ark moved upon the face of the waters.
19 Et aquæ prævaluerunt nimis super terram: opertique sunt omnes montes excelsi sub universo cælo.
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills that [were] under the whole heaven were covered.
20 Quindecim cubitis altior fuit aqua super montes, quos operuerat.
Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail: and the mountains were covered.
21 Consumptaque est omnis caro quæ movebatur super terram, volucrum, animantium, bestiarum, omniumque reptilium, quæ reptant super terram: universi homines,
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:
22 et cuncta, in quibus spiraculum vitæ est in terra, mortua sunt.
All in whose nostrils [was] the breath of life, of all that [was] on the dry [land], died.
23 Et delevit omnem substantiam, quæ erat super terram, ab homine usque ad pecus, tam reptile quam volucres cæli: et deleta sunt de terra: remansit autem solus Noe, et qui cum eo erant in arca.
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.
24 Obtinueruntque aquæ terram centum quinquaginta diebus.
And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
