1 O Senhor disse a Noé: "Entre na arca com toda a sua família, pois vejo que, de todas as pessoas na terra, apenas você é justo. 2 Leve com você sete casais, macho e fêmea, de cada espécie de animal puro, e um casal, macho e fêmea, de cada espécie de animal impuro. 3 Leve também sete casais de cada espécie de ave. Cada casal deve ter um macho e uma fêmea para garantir que todas as espécies sobreviverão na terra depois do dilúvio. 4 Daqui a sete dias, farei chover sobre a terra. Choverá por quarenta dias e quarenta noites, até que eu tenha eliminado da terra todos os seres vivos que criei".
5 Noé fez tudo exatamente como o Senhor lhe havia ordenado.
6 Noé tinha 600 anos quando o dilúvio cobriu a terra. 7 Entrou na arca, junto com a mulher, os filhos e as mulheres deles, para escapar do dilúvio. 8 Entraram com eles animais de todas as espécies: os puros e os impuros, as aves e todos os animais que rastejam pelo chão. 9 Entraram na arca em pares, macho e fêmea, como Deus tinha ordenado a Noé. 10 Depois de sete dias, vieram as águas do dilúvio e cobriram a terra.
11 Quando Noé tinha 600 anos, no décimo sétimo dia do segundo mês, todas as fontes subterrâneas de água jorraram da terra, e a chuva caiu do céu em grandes temporais 12 e continuou sem parar por quarenta dias e quarenta noites.
13 Naquele mesmo dia, Noé tinha entrado na arca com a esposa, os filhos, Sem, Cam e Jafé, e as mulheres deles. 14 Entraram com eles na arca casais de todas as espécies de animais: animais domésticos e selvagens, grandes e pequenos, e aves de toda espécie. 15 Entraram de dois em dois na arca, representando todos os seres vivos que respiram. 16 Um macho e uma fêmea de cada espécie entraram, como Deus tinha ordenado a Noé. Então o Senhor fechou a porta.
17 Durante quarenta dias, as águas do dilúvio se tornaram cada vez mais profundas, cobriram o solo e elevaram a arca bem acima da terra. 18 Enquanto as águas subiam cada vez mais acima do solo, a arca flutuava em segurança em sua superfície. 19 Por fim, as águas cobriram até as montanhas mais altas da terra 20 e se elevaram quase sete metros acima dos picos mais altos. 21 Todos os seres vivos que havia na terra morreram: as aves, os animais domésticos, os animais selvagens, os animais que rastejavam pelo chão e todos os seres humanos. 22 Tudo que respirava e vivia em terra firme morreu. 23 Deus exterminou todos os seres vivos que havia na terra: os seres humanos, os animais domésticos, os animais que rastejavam pelo chão e as aves do céu. Todos foram destruídos. Apenas Noé e os que estavam com ele na arca sobreviveram. 24 E as águas do dilúvio cobriram a terra por 150 dias.
1 And LORD said to Noah, Come, thou and all thy house into the ark, for I have seen thee righteous before me in this generation.
2 Of every clean beast thou shall take to thee by sevens, the male and his female. And of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female.
3 Also of the birds of the heavens by sevens, male and 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 thing that I have made I will destroy from off the face of the ground.
5 And Noah did according to all that 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 birds, and of everything that creeps upon the ground,
9 there went in two by two to Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after the 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, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were 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 Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ark,
14 they, and every beast according to its kind, and all the cattle according to their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth according to its kind, and every bird according to its kind, every bird of every sort.
15 And they went in to Noah into the ark, two by two of all flesh in which is the breath of life.
16 And those that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him. And LORD shut him in.
17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth. And the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above the earth.
18 And the waters prevailed, and 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 mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered,
20 fifteen cubits upward. The waters prevailed, and the mountains were covered.
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, from birds, to cattle, to beasts, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, and every man.
22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.
23 And every living thing was destroyed that was upon the face of the ground, from man, to cattle, to creeping things, and birds of the heavens, and they were destroyed from the earth. And only Noah was left, and those who were with h
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
