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 耶和华对挪亚说： "你和你全家都要进入方舟， 因为在这世代中， 我见只有你在我面前是个义人。
2 洁净的牲畜， 你要各带七公七母； 不洁净的牲畜， 你要各带一公一母；
3 空中的飞鸟， 也要各带七公七母， 以便传种， 活在全地上；
4 因为再过七天， 我就要一连四十昼夜降雨在地上， 我把所造的一切生物都从地上除灭。"
5 挪亚就照着耶和华吩咐他的一切作了。
6 洪水临到地上的时候， 挪亚刚好是六百岁。
7 挪亚带着他的儿子、妻子和儿媳一同进了方舟， 躲避洪水。
8 洁净的牲畜和不洁净的牲畜， 飞鸟和各种在地上爬行的动物，
9 都是一公一母、一对一对来到挪亚那里， 进入方舟， 是照着 神吩咐挪亚的。
10 那七天一过， 洪水就临到地上了。
11 挪亚六百岁那一年， 二月十七日那一天， 所有大渊的泉源都裂开了， 天上的窗户都敞开了。
12 大雨倾盆下在地上， 一连四十昼夜。
13 就在那一天， 挪亚带着他的儿子闪、含、雅弗， 以及他的妻子和三个儿媳， 一同进了方舟。
14 他们一家， 所有走兽各从其类， 所有牲畜各从其类， 所有在地上爬行的动物各从其类， 所有有羽有翼的飞禽各从其类，
15 有生命、有气息的， 都是一对一对来到挪亚那里， 进入方舟。
16 那些进去的， 都是有生命的， 一公一母进去， 是照着 神吩咐挪亚的。耶和华跟着就把方舟关起来。
17 洪水就临到地上四十天； 水不断上涨， 把方舟升起， 于是方舟就从地上浮起来。
18 水势甚大， 在地上大大上涨， 方舟就在水面上漂来漂去。
19 水势在地面上越来越大， 天下所有的高山都被淹没了。
20 水势浩大， 比众山高出七公尺， 山岭都被淹没了。
21 凡有生命仍在地上行动的， 无论是飞鸟或是牲畜， 走兽或是在地上滋生的各样小生物， 以及所有的人都死了；
22 仍在陆地上， 鼻孔里有气息的生灵都死了。
23 耶和华把地上的所有生物， 从人类到牲畜， 爬行动物， 以及空中的飞鸟都除灭了； 于是， 这一切都从地上消灭了。只留下挪亚和那些与挪亚一同在方舟里的人。
24 水势浩大， 在地上共一百五十天。
