Genesis 7
1 Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Ingredere tu, et omnis domus tua in arcam: te enim vidi iustum coram me in generatione hac.
Yahweh said to Noah, “Come, you and all your household, into the ark, for I have seen that 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.
Of every clean animal you will bring with you seven males and seven females. From the animals that are not clean, of them bring two, the male and his mate.
3 Sed et de volatilibus caeli septena et septena, masculum et feminam: ut salvetur semen super faciem universae terrae.
Also of the birds of the sky, bring seven males and seven females, to preserve their offspring upon the surface 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 in seven days I will cause it to rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy from off the surface of the ground every living thing that I have made.”
5 Fecit ergo Noe omnia, quae mandaverat ei Dominus.
Noah did all that Yahweh commanded him.
6 Eratque sexcentorum annorum quando diluvii aquae inundaverunt super terram.
Noah was six hundred years old when the flood came upon the earth.
7 Et ingressus est Noe et filii eius, uxor eius et uxores filiorum eius cum eo in arcam propter aquas diluvii.
Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives went into the ark together because of the waters of the flood.
8 De animantibus quoque mundis et immundis, et de volucribus, et ex omni, quod movetur super terram,
Clean animals and unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps upon the ground,
9 duo et duo ingressa sunt ad Noe in arcam, masculus et femina, sicut praeceperat Dominus Noe.
two by two, male and female, came to Noah and went into the ark, just as God had commanded Noah.
10 Cumque transissent septem dies, aquae diluvii inundaverunt super terram.
It came about that after the seven days, the waters of the flood came 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, all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 et facta est pluvia super terram quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus.
The rain began and fell 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 that very same day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered 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 entered along with each wild animal according to its kind, and each sort of livestock according to its kind, and each creeping thing that creeps upon the earth according to its kind, and every sort of bird according to its kind, each kind of creature with wings.
15 ingressae sunt ad Noe in arcam, bina et bina ex omni carne, in qua erat spiritus vitae.
Two of all flesh in which was the breath of life came to Noah and entered into the ark.
16 Et quae ingressa sunt, masculus et femina ex omni carne introierunt, sicut praeceperat ei Deus: et inclusit eum Dominus deforis.
The animals that went in were male and female of all flesh; they entered in just as God had commanded him. Then Yahweh shut the door after them.
17 Factumque est diluvium quadraginta diebus super terram: et multiplicatae sunt aquae, et elevaverunt arcam in sublime a terra.
Then the flood came upon the earth for forty days, and the water increased and lifted the ark and raised it above the earth.
18 Vehementer enim inundaverunt: et omnia repleverunt in superficie terrae: porro arca ferebatur super aquas.
The waters completely covered over the earth, and the ark floated upon the surface of the water.
19 Et aquae praevaluerunt nimis super terram: opertique sunt omnes montes excelsi sub universo caelo.
The waters rose greatly on the earth so that all the high mountains that were under the entire sky were covered.
20 Quindecim cubitis altior fuit aqua super montes, quos operuerat.
The waters rose fifteen cubits above the tops of the mountains.
21 Consumptaque est omnis caro quae movebatur super terram, volucrum, bestiarum, omniumque reptilium, quae reptant super terram: animantiumque omnium universi homines,
All living beings that moved upon the earth died—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the living creatures that lived in great numbers upon the earth, and all mankind.
22 et cuncta, in quibus spiraculum vitae est in terra, mortua sunt.
All living creatures who lived on the land, who breathed the breath of life through their noses, 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.
So every living thing that was on the surface of the earth was wiped out, from mankind to the larger animals, to creeping things, and to birds of the sky. They were all destroyed from the earth. Only Noah and those with him in the ark were left.
24 Obtinueruntque aquae terram centum quinquaginta diebus.
The waters stayed upon the earth for a hundred and fifty days.
The Great Flood
