1 Então Deus se lembrou de Noé e de todos os animais selvagens e domésticos que estavam com ele na arca. Deus fez soprar um vento sobre a terra, e as águas do dilúvio começaram a baixar. 2 As fontes subterrâneas pararam de jorrar, e as chuvas torrenciais cessaram. 3 As águas do dilúvio foram baixando aos poucos. Depois de 150 dias, 4 exatamente cinco meses depois do início do dilúvio, a arca repousou sobre as montanhas de Ararate. 5 Dois meses e meio depois, à medida que as águas continuaram a baixar, apareceram os picos de outras montanhas.
6 Passados mais quarenta dias, Noé abriu a janela que havia feito na arca 7 e soltou um corvo, que ia e voltava até as águas do dilúvio secarem sobre a terra. 8 Noé também soltou uma pomba para ver se as águas tinham baixado e se ela encontraria terra seca, 9 mas a pomba não encontrou lugar para pousar, pois a água ainda cobria todo o solo. Então a pomba retornou à arca, e Noé estendeu a mão e a trouxe de volta para dentro. 10 Depois de esperar mais sete dias, Noé soltou a pomba mais uma vez. 11 Quando ela voltou ao entardecer, trouxe no bico uma folha nova de oliveira. Noé concluiu que restava pouca água do dilúvio. 12 Esperou outros sete dias e soltou a pomba novamente. Dessa vez, ela não voltou.
13 Noé tinha completado 601 anos. No primeiro dia do novo ano, dez meses e meio depois do início do dilúvio, quase não havia mais água sobre a terra. Noé levantou a cobertura da arca e viu que o solo estava praticamente seco. 14 Mais dois meses se passaram e, por fim, a terra estava completamente seca.
15 Então Deus disse a Noé: 16 "Saiam da arca, você, sua mulher, seus filhos e as mulheres deles. 17 Solte todos os animais, as aves, os animais domésticos e os animais que rastejam pelo chão, para que sejam férteis e se multipliquem na terra".
18 Noé, sua mulher, seus filhos e as mulheres deles desembarcaram. 19 Todos os animais, grandes e pequenos, e as aves saíram da arca, um casal de cada vez.
20 Em seguida, Noé construiu um altar ao Senhor e ali ofereceu como holocaustos alguns animais e aves puros. 21 O aroma do sacrifício agradou ao Senhor, que disse consigo: "Nunca mais amaldiçoarei a terra por causa do ser humano, embora todos os seus pensamentos e seus propósitos se inclinem para o mal desde a infância. Nunca mais destruirei todos os seres vivos. 22 Enquanto durar a terra, haverá plantio e colheita, frio e calor, verão e inverno, dia e noite".
1 And God remembered Noah, and all the beasts, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.
2 Also the fountains of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained.
3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually. And after the end of a hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.
7 And he sent forth a raven. And it went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8 And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground.
9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot. And she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. And he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in to him into the ark.
10 And he stayed yet another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.
11 And the dove came in to him at evening. And, lo, in her mouth an olive leaf plucked off, so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
12 And he stayed yet seven other days, and sent forth the dove. And she did not return again to him any more.
13 And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked. And, behold, the face of the
14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 And God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee of all flesh, both birds and cattle, and every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon th
18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves upon the earth, according to their families, went forth out of the ark.
20 And Noah built an altar to LORD, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 And LORD smelled the sweet savor. And LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, for that the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I again any more smite everything
22 While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
