Genesis 8

1 Recordatus autem Deus Noe, cunctorumque animantium, et omnium iumentorum, quae erant cum eo in arca, adduxit spiritum super terram, et imminutae sunt aquae.

Now God remembred Noah and euery beast, and all the cattell that was with him in the Arke: therefore God made a winde to passe vpon the earth, and the waters ceased.

2 Et clausi sunt fontes abyssi, et cataractae caeli: et prohibitae sunt pluviae de caelo.

The fountaines also of the deepe and the windowes of heauen were stopped and the raine from heauen was restrained,

3 Reversaeque sunt aquae de terra euntes et redeuntes: et coeperunt minui post centum quinquaginta dies.

And the waters returned from aboue the earth, going and returning: and after the ende of the hundreth and fiftieth day the waters abated.

4 Requievitque arca mense septimo, vigesimo septimo die mensis super montes Armeniae.

And in the seuenth moneth, in the seuenteenth day of the moneth, the Arke rested vpon the mountaines of Ararat.

5 At vero aquae ibant et decrescebant usque ad decimum mensem: decimo enim mense, primo die mensis, apparuerunt cacumina montium.

And the waters were going and decreasing vntill the tenth moneth: in the tenth moneth, and in the first day of the moneth were the toppes of the mountaines seene.

6 Cumque transissent quadraginta dies, aperiens Noe fenestram arcae, quam fecerat, dimisit corvum:

So after fourtie dayes, Noah opened the windowe of the Arke, which he had made,

7 qui egrediebatur, et non revertebatur, donec siccarentur aquae super terram.

And sent forth a rauen, which went out going forth and returning, vntill the waters were dried vp vpon the earth.

8 Emisit quoque columbam post eum, ut videret si iam cessassent aquae super faciem terrae.

Againe he sent a doue from him, that he might see if the waters were diminished from off the earth.

9 Quae cum non invenisset ubi requiesceret pes eius, reversa est ad eum in arcam: aquae enim erant super universam terram: extenditque manum suam, et apprehensam intulit in arcam.

But the doue found no rest for the sole of her foote: therefore she returned vnto him into the Arke (for the waters were vpon the whole earth) and he put forth his hand, and receiued her, and tooke her to him into the Arke.

10 Expectatis autem ultra septem diebus aliis, rursum dimisit columbam ex arca.

And he abode yet other seuen dayes, and againe he sent forth the doue out of the Arke.

11 At illa venit ad eum ad vesperam, portans ramum olivae virentibus foliis in ore suo. intellexit ergo Noe quod cessassent aquae super terram.

And the doue came to him in ye euening, and loe, in her mouth was an oliue leafe that she had pluckt: whereby Noah knewe that the waters were abated from off the earth.

12 Expectavitque nihilominus septem alios dies: et emisit columbam, quae non est reversa ultra ad eum.

Notwithstanding he wayted yet other seuen dayes, and sent forth the doue, which returned not againe vnto him any more.

13 Igitur sexcentesimo primo anno, primo mense, prima die mensis imminutae sunt aquae super terram: et aperiens Noe tectum arcae, aspexit, viditque quod exiccata esset superficies terrae.

And in the sixe hundreth and one yeere, in the first day of the first moneth the waters were dryed vp from off the earth: and Noah remoued the couering of the Arke and looked, and beholde, the vpper part of the ground was drie.

14 Mense secundo, septimo et vigesimo die mensis arefacta est terra.

And in the second moneth, in the seuen and twentieth day of the moneth was the earth drie.

15 Locutus est autem Deus ad Noe, dicens:

Then God spake to Noah, saying,

16 Egredere de arca, tu et uxor tua, filii tui et uxores filiorum tuorum tecum.

Goe forth of the Arke, thou and thy wife, and thy sonnes and thy sonnes wiues with thee.

17 Cuncta animantia, quae sunt apud te, ex omni carne, tam in volatilibus quam in bestiis et universis reptilibus, quae reptant super terram, educ tecum, et ingredimini super terram: crescite et multiplicamini super eam.

Bring forth with thee euery beast that is with thee, of all flesh, both foule and cattell, and euery thing that creepeth and moueth vpon the earth, that they may breede abundantly in ye earth, and bring forth fruite and increase vpon ye earth.

18 Egressus est ergo Noe, et filii eius: uxor illius, et uxores filiorum eius cum eo.

So Noah came forth, and his sonnes, and his wife, and his sonnes wiues with him.

19 Sed et omnia animantia, iumenta, et reptilia quae reptant super terram secundum genus suum, egressa sunt de arca.

Euery beast, euery creeping thing, and euery foule, all that moueth vpon the earth after their kindes went out of the Arke.

20 Aedificavit autem Noe altare Domino: et tollens de cunctis pecoribus et volucribus mundis, obtulit holocausta super altare.

Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and tooke of euery cleane beast, and of euery cleane foule, and offered burnt offerings vpon the altar.

21 Odoratusque est Dominus odorem suavitatis, et ait: Nequaquam ultra maledicam terrae propter homines: sensus enim et cogitatio humani cordis in malum prona sunt ab adolescentia sua: non igitur ultra percutiam omnem animam viventem sicut feci.

And the Lord smellled a sauour of rest, and the Lord said in his heart, I will hencefoorth curse the ground no more for mans cause: for the imagination of mans heart is euill, euen from his youth: neither will I smite any more all things liuing, as I haue done.

22 Cunctis diebus terrae, sementis et messis, frigus et aestus, aestas et hiems, nox et dies non requiescent.

Hereafter seede time and haruest, and colde and heate, and sommer and winter, and day and night shall not cease, so long as ye earth remaineth.
