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 YHWH says to Noah, “Come, you and all your house, into the Ark, for I have seen you [are] 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.
you take seven pairs from all the clean beasts to yourself, a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean—two, a male and its female;
3 Sed et de volatilibus caeli septena et septena, masculum et feminam: ut salvetur semen super faciem universae terrae.
also, seven pairs from [each] bird of the heavens, a male and a female, to keep alive seed 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 terrae.
for after seven more days I am sending rain on the earth [for] forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.”
5 Fecit ergo Noe omnia, quae mandaverat ei Dominus.
And Noah does according to all that YHWH has commanded him.
6 Eratque sexcentorum annorum quando diluvii aquae inundaverunt super terram.
And Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the flood of waters has been 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 goes—and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him—into the Ark, out of the presence of the waters of the flood;
8 De animantibus quoque mundis et immundis, et de volucribus, et ex omni, quod movetur super terram,
from the clean beast, and from the beast that [is] not clean, and from the bird, and of everything that is creeping on the ground,
9 duo et duo ingressa sunt ad Noe in arcam, masculus et femina, sicut praeceperat Dominus Noe.
they have come to Noah two by two into the Ark, a male and a female, as God has commanded Noah.
10 Cumque transissent septem dies, aquae diluvii inundaverunt super terram.
And it comes to pass, after seven days, that waters of the flood have been on 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 the life of Noah, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on this day all [the] fountains of the great deep have been broken up, and the network of the heavens has been opened,
12 et facta est pluvia super terram quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus.
and the shower is on the earth [for] 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:
On this very same day Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, went 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 living creature after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind (every bird, every wing).
15 ingressae sunt ad Noe in arcam, bina et bina ex omni carne, in qua erat spiritus vitae.
And they come to Noah, into the Ark, two by two of all the flesh in which [is] a living spirit;
16 Et quae ingressa sunt, masculus et femina ex omni carne introierunt, sicut praeceperat ei Deus: et inclusit eum Dominus deforis.
and they that are coming in, male and female of all flesh, have come in as God has commanded him, and YHWH closes [it] for him.
17 Factumque est diluvium quadraginta diebus super terram: et multiplicatae sunt aquae, et elevaverunt arcam in sublime a terra.
And the flood is on the earth [for] forty days, and the waters multiply and lift up the Ark, and it is raised up from off the earth;
18 Vehementer enim inundaverunt: et omnia repleverunt in superficie terrae: porro arca ferebatur super aquas.
and the waters are mighty and multiply exceedingly on the earth; and the Ark goes on the face of the waters.
19 Et aquae praevaluerunt nimis super terram: opertique sunt omnes montes excelsi sub universo caelo.
And the waters have been very, very mighty on the earth, and all the high mountains are covered which [are] under the whole heavens;
20 Quindecim cubitis altior fuit aqua super montes, quos operuerat.
the waters prevailed from above the mountains, and cover [them] fifteen cubits;
21 Consumptaque est omnis caro quae movebatur super terram, volucrum, bestiarum, omniumque reptilium, quae reptant super terram: animantiumque omnium universi homines,
and all flesh expires that is moving on the earth, among bird, and among livestock, and among beast, and among every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth, and all mankind;
22 et cuncta, in quibus spiraculum vitae est in terra, mortua sunt.
all in whose nostrils [is] breath of a living spirit—of all that [is] in the dry land—have 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 all the substance that is on the face of the ground is wiped away—from man to beast, to creeping thing, and to bird of the heavens; indeed, they are wiped away from the earth, and only Noah is left, and those who [are] with him in the Ark;
24 Obtinueruntque aquae terram centum quinquaginta diebus.
and the waters are mighty on the earth [for] one hundred and fifty days.
The Great Flood
