Genesis 8

1 recordatus autem Deus Noe cunctarumque animantium et omnium iumentorum quae erant cum eo in arca adduxit spiritum super terram et inminutae sunt aquae

And God remembereth Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle which [are] with him in the ark, and God causeth a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside,

2 et clausi sunt fontes abyssi et cataractae caeli et prohibitae sunt pluviae de caelo

and closed are the fountains of the deep and the net-work of the heavens, and restrained is the shower from the heavens.

3 reversaeque aquae de terra euntes et redeuntes et coeperunt minui post centum quinquaginta dies

And turn back do the waters from off the earth, going on and returning; and the waters are lacking at the end of a hundred and fifty days.

4 requievitque arca mense septimo vicesima septima die mensis super montes Armeniae

And the ark resteth, in the seventh month, in the seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat;

5 at vero aquae ibant et decrescebant usque ad decimum mensem decimo enim mense prima die mensis apparuerunt cacumina montium

and the waters have been going and becoming lacking till the tenth month; in the tenth [month], on the first of the month, appeared the heads of the mountains.

6 cumque transissent quadraginta dies aperiens Noe fenestram arcae quam fecerat dimisit corvum

And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah openeth the window of the ark which he made,

7 qui egrediebatur et revertebatur donec siccarentur aquae super terram

and he sendeth forth the raven, and it goeth out, going out and turning back till the drying of the waters from off the earth.

8 emisit quoque columbam post eum ut videret si iam cessassent aquae super faciem terrae

And he sendeth forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground,

9 quae cum non invenisset ubi requiesceret pes eius reversa est ad eum in arcam aquae enim erant super universam terram extenditque manum et adprehensam intulit in arcam

and the dove hath not found rest for the sole of her foot, and she turneth back unto him, unto the ark, for waters [are] on the face of all the earth, and he putteth out his hand, and taketh her, and bringeth her in unto him, unto the ark.

10 expectatis autem ultra septem diebus aliis rursum dimisit columbam ex arca

And he stayeth yet other seven days, and addeth to send forth the dove from the ark;

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 dove cometh in unto him at even-time, and lo, an olive leaf torn off in her mouth; and Noah knoweth that the waters have been lightened from off the earth.

12 expectavitque nihilominus septem alios dies et emisit columbam quae non est reversa ultra ad eum

And he stayeth yet other seven days, and sendeth forth the dove, and it added not to turn back unto him any more.

13 igitur sescentesimo primo anno primo mense prima die mensis inminutae sunt aquae super terram et aperiens Noe tectum arcae aspexit viditque quod exsiccata esset superficies terrae

And it cometh to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first [month], in the first of the month, the waters have been dried from off the earth; and Noah turneth aside the covering of the ark, and looketh, and lo, the face of the ground hath been dried.

14 mense secundo septima et vicesima die mensis arefacta est terra

And in the second month, in the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth hath become dry.

15 locutus est autem Deus ad Noe dicens

And God speaketh unto Noah, saying, 'Go out from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee;

16 egredere de arca tu et uxor tua filii tui et uxores filiorum tuorum tecum

every living thing that [is] with thee, of all flesh, among fowl, and among cattle, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth, bring out with thee;

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

and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on the earth.'

18 egressus est ergo Noe et filii eius uxor illius et uxores filiorum eius cum eo

And Noah goeth out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him;

19 sed et omnia animantia iumenta et reptilia quae repunt super terram secundum genus suum arcam egressa sunt

every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the ark.

20 aedificavit autem Noe altare Domino et tollens de cunctis pecoribus et volucribus mundis obtulit holocausta super altare

And Noah buildeth an altar to Jehovah, and taketh of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and causeth burnt-offerings to ascend on the altar;

21 odoratusque est Dominus odorem suavitatis et ait ad eum nequaquam ultra maledicam terrae propter homines sensus enim et cogitatio humani cordis in malum prona sunt ab adulescentia sua non igitur ultra percutiam omnem animantem sicut feci

and Jehovah smelleth the sweet fragrance, and Jehovah saith unto His heart, 'I continue not to disesteem any more the ground because of man, though the imagination of the heart of man [is] evil from his youth; and I continue not to smite any more all living, as I have done;

22 cunctis diebus terrae sementis et messis frigus et aestus aestas et hiemps nox et dies non requiescent

during all days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, do not cease.'
