< 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 unto 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 seven and seven, each with his mate; and of the beasts that are not clean two and two, each with his mate;
3 Sed et de volatilibus caeli septena et septena, masculum et feminam: ut salvetur semen super faciem universae terrae.
of the fowl also of the air, seven and seven, male and female; to keep seed alive upon 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 terrae.
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 blot out from off the face of the earth.'
5 Fecit ergo Noe omnia, quae mandaverat ei Dominus.
And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
6 Eratque sexcentorum annorum quando diluvii aquae inundaverunt super terram.
And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon 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 thing that creepeth upon the ground,
9 duo et duo ingressa sunt ad Noe in arcam, masculus et femina, sicut praeceperat Dominus Noe.
there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
10 Cumque transissent septem dies, aquae diluvii inundaverunt super terram.
And it came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 Anno sexcentesimo vitae Noe, mense secundo, septimodecimo die mensis, rupti sunt omnes fontes abyssi magnae, et cataractae caeli apertae sunt:
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on 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 uxores filiorum eius cum eis in arcam:
In the selfsame 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, universae aves, omnesque volucres
they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind, every bird of every sort.
15 ingressae sunt ad Noe in arcam, bina et bina ex omni carne, in qua erat spiritus vitae.
And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life.
16 Et quae ingressa sunt, masculus et femina ex omni carne introierunt, sicut praeceperat ei Deus: et inclusit eum Dominus deforis.
And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; and the LORD shut him in.
17 Factumque est diluvium quadraginta diebus super terram: et multiplicatae sunt aquae, 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 up above the earth.
18 Vehementer enim inundaverunt: et omnia repleverunt in superficie terrae: porro arca ferebatur super aquas.
And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
19 Et aquae praevaluerunt nimis super terram: opertique sunt omnes montes excelsi sub universo caelo.
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains 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 quae movebatur super terram, volucrum, bestiarum, omniumque reptilium, quae reptant super terram: animantiumque omnium universi homines,
And all flesh perished that moved upon the earth, both fowl, and cattle, and beast, and every swarming thing that swarmeth upon the earth, and every man;
22 et cuncta, in quibus spiraculum vitae est in terra, mortua sunt.
all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, whatsoever was in the dry land, died.
23 Et delevit omnem substantiam, quae erat super terram, ab homine usque ad pecus, tam reptile quam volucres caeli: deleta sunt de terra: remansit autem solus Noe, et qui cum eo erant in arca.
And He blotted out every living substance which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping thing, and fowl of the heaven; and they were blotted out from the earth; and Noah only was left, and they that were with him in the ark.
24 Obtinueruntque aquae terram centum quinquaginta diebus.
And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
