1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. 3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. 6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. 10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; 14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort. 15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. 16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. 18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: 22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. 23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. 24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
1 Depois disse o Senhor a Noé: Entra na arca, tu e toda a tua casa, porque tenho visto que és justo diante de mim nesta geração.
2 De todos os animais limpos levarás contigo sete e sete, o macho e sua fêmea; mas dos animais que não são limpos, dois, o macho e sua fêmea;
3 também das aves do céu sete e sete, macho e fêmea, para se conservar em vida sua espécie sobre a face de toda a terra.
4 Porque, passados ainda sete dias, farei chover sobre a terra quarenta dias e quarenta noites, e exterminarei da face da terra todas as criaturas que fiz.
5 E Noé fez segundo tudo o que o Senhor lhe ordenara.
6 Tinha Noé seiscentos anos de idade, quando o dilúvio veio sobre a terra.
7 Noé entrou na arca com seus filhos, sua mulher e as mulheres de seus filhos, por causa das águas do dilúvio.
8 Dos animais limpos e dos que não são limpos, das aves, e de todo réptil sobre a terra,
9 entraram dois a dois para junto de Noé na arca, macho e fêmea, como Deus ordenara a Noé.
10 Passados os sete dias, vieram sobre a terra as águas do dilúvio.
11 No ano seiscentos da vida de Noé, no mês segundo, aos dezessete dias do mês, romperam-se todas as fontes do grande abismo, e as janelas do céu se abriram,
12 e caiu chuva sobre a terra quarenta dias e quarenta noites.
13 Nesse mesmo dia entrou Noé na arca, e juntamente com ele seus filhos Sem, Cam e Jafé, como também sua mulher e as três mulheres de seus filhos,
14 e com eles todo animal segundo a sua espécie, todo o gado segundo a sua espécie, todo réptil que se arrasta sobre a terra segundo a sua espécie e toda ave segundo a sua espécie, pássaros de toda qualidade.
15 Entraram para junto de Noé na arca, dois a dois de toda a carne em que havia espírito de vida.
16 E os que entraram eram macho e fêmea de toda a carne, como Deus lhe tinha ordenado; e o Senhor o fechou dentro.
17 Veio o dilúvio sobre a terra durante quarenta dias; e as águas cresceram e levantaram a arca, e ela se elevou por cima da terra.
18 Prevaleceram as águas e cresceram grandemente sobre a terra; e a arca vagava sobre as águas.
19 As águas prevaleceram excessivamente sobre a terra; e todos os altos montes que havia debaixo do céu foram cobertos.
20 Quinze côvados acima deles prevaleceram as águas; e assim foram cobertos.
21 Pereceu toda a carne que se movia sobre a terra, tanto ave como gado, animais selvagens, todo réptil que se arrasta sobre a terra, e todo homem.
22 Tudo o que tinha fôlego do espírito de vida em suas narinas, tudo o que havia na terra seca, morreu.
23 Assim foram exterminadas todas as criaturas que havia sobre a face da terra, tanto o homem como o gado, o réptil, e as aves do céu; todos foram exterminados da terra; ficou somente Noé, e os que com ele estavam na arca.
24 E prevaleceram as águas sobre a terra cento e cinqüenta dias.
