< Gênesis 7 >
1 Depois disse o Senhor a Noé: Entra tu e toda a tua casa na arca: porque te hei visto justo diante de mim nesta geração.
And the Lord said to him: “Enter the ark, you and all your house. For I have seen you to be just in my sight, within this generation.
2 De todo o animal limpo tomarás para ti sete e sete, macho e sua fêmea; mas dos animais que não são limpos, dois, o macho e sua fêmea.
From all the clean animals, take seven and seven, the male and the female. Yet truly, from animals that are unclean, take two and two, the male and the female.
3 Também das aves dos céus sete e sete, macho e fêmea, para conservar em vida a semente sobre a face de toda a terra.
But also from the birds of the air, take seven and seven, the male and the female, so that offspring may be saved upon the face of the whole earth.
4 Porque, passados ainda sete dias, farei chover sobre a terra quarenta dias e quarenta noites; e desfarei de sobre a face da terra toda a substância que fiz.
For from that point, and after seven days, I will rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. And I will wipe away every substance that I have made, from the surface of the earth.”
5 E fez Noé conforme a tudo o que o Senhor lhe ordenara.
Therefore, Noah did all things just as the Lord had commanded him.
6 E era Noé da idade de seiscentos anos, quando o dilúvio das águas veio sobre a terra.
And he was six hundred years old when the waters of the great flood inundated the earth.
7 E entrou Noé, e seus filhos, e sua mulher, e as mulheres de seus filhos com ele na arca, por causa das águas do dilúvio.
And Noah entered into the ark, and his sons, his wife, and the wives of his sons with him, because of the waters of the great flood.
8 Dos animais limpos, e dos animais que não são limpos, e das aves, e de todo o réptil sobre a terra,
And from the animals both clean and unclean, and from the birds, and from everything that moves upon the earth,
9 Entraram de dois em dois a Noé na arca, macho e fêmea, como Deus ordenara a Noé.
two by two they were brought into the ark to Noah, male and female, just as the Lord had instructed Noah.
10 E aconteceu que, passados sete dias, vieram sobre a terra as águas do dilúvio.
And when seven days had passed, the waters of the great flood inundated the earth.
11 No ano seiscentos da vida de Noé, no mês segundo, aos dezesete dias do mes, naquele mesmo dia se romperam todas as fontes do grande abismo, e as janelas dos céus se abriram,
In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great abyss were released, and the floodgates of heaven were opened.
12 E houve chuva sobre a terra quarenta dias e quarenta noites.
And rain came upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.
13 E no mesmo dia entrou Noé, e Sem, e Cão, e Japhet, os filhos de Noé, como também a mulher de Noé, e as três mulheres de seus filhos com ele na arca.
On the very same day, Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and his wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark.
14 Eles, e todo o animal conforme a sua espécie, e todo o gado conforme a sua espécie, e todo o réptil que se roja sobre a terra conforme a sua espécie, e toda a ave conforme a sua espécie, todo o pássaro de toda a qualidade.
They and every animal according to its kind, and all the cattle in their kind, and everything that moves upon the earth in their kind, and every flying thing according to its kind, all the birds and all that can fly,
15 E de toda a carne, em que havia espírito de vida, entraram de dois em dois a Noé na arca.
entered the ark to Noah, two by two out of all that is flesh, in which there was the breath of life.
16 E os que entraram, macho e fêmea de toda a carne entraram, como Deus lhe tinha ordenado: e o Senhor o fechou por fora.
And those that entered went in male and female, from all that is flesh, just as God had instructed him. And then the Lord closed him in from the outside.
17 E esteve o dilúvio quarenta dias sobre a terra, e cresceram as águas, e levantaram a arca, e ela se elevou sobre a terra.
And the great flood occurred for forty days upon the earth. And the waters were increased, and they lifted the ark high above the land.
18 E prevaleceram as águas, e cresceram grandemente sobre a terra; e a arca andava sobre as águas.
For they overflowed greatly, and they filled everything on the surface of the earth. And then the ark was carried across the waters.
19 E as águas prevaleceram excessivamente sobre a terra; e todos os altos montes, que havia debaixo de todo o céu, foram cobertos.
And the waters prevailed beyond measure across the earth. And all the lofty mountains under the whole heaven were covered.
20 Quinze côvados acima prevaleceram as águas; e os montes foram cobertos.
The water was fifteen cubits higher than the mountains which it covered.
21 E expirou toda a carne que se movia sobre a terra, tanto de ave como de gado e de feras, e de todo o réptil que se roja sobre a terra, e todo o homem.
And all flesh was consumed which moved upon the earth: flying things, animals, wild beasts, and all moving things that crawl upon the ground. And all men,
22 Tudo o que tinha fôlego de espírito de vida em seus narizes, tudo o que havia no seco, morreu.
and everything in which there is the breath of life on earth, died.
23 Assim foi desfeita toda a substância que havia sobre a face da terra, desde o homem até ao animal, até ao réptil, e até à ave dos céus; e foram extintos da terra: e ficou somente Noé, e os que com ele estavam na arca.
And he wiped away all substance that was upon the earth, from man to animal, the crawling things just as much as the flying things of the air. And they were wiped away from the earth. But only Noah remained, and those who were with him in the ark.
24 E prevaleceram as águas sobre a terra cento e cincoênta dias.
And the waters possessed the earth for one hundred and fifty days.
