¹ 神记念挪亚和挪亚方舟里的一切走兽牲畜。神叫风吹地，水势渐落。

² 渊源和天上的窗户都闭塞了，天上的大雨也止住了。

³ 水从地上渐退。过了一百五十天，水就渐消。

⁴ 七月十七日，方舟停在亚拉腊山上。

⁵ 水又渐消，到十月初一日，山顶都现出来了。

⁶ 过了四十天，挪亚开了方舟的窗户，

⁷ 放出一只乌鸦去；那乌鸦飞来飞去，直到地上的水都乾了。

⁸ 他又放出一只鸽子去，要看看水从地上退了没有。

⁹ 但遍地上都是水，鸽子找不着落脚之地，就回到方舟挪亚那里，挪亚伸手把鸽子接进方舟来。

¹⁰ 他又等了七天，再把鸽子从方舟放出去。

¹¹ 到了晚上，鸽子回到他那里，嘴里叼着一个新拧下来的橄榄叶子，挪亚就知道地上的水退了。

¹² 他又等了七天，放出鸽子去，鸽子就不再回来了。

¹³ 到挪亚六百零一岁，正月初一日，地上的水都乾了。挪亚撤去方舟的盖观看，便见地面上乾了。

¹⁴ 到了二月二十七日，地就都乾了。

¹⁵ 神对挪亚说：

¹⁶ 你和你的妻子、儿子、儿妇都可以出方舟。

¹⁷ 在你那里凡有血肉的活物，就是飞鸟、牲畜，和一切爬在地上的昆虫，都要带出来，叫他在地上多多滋生，大大兴旺。

¹⁸ 於是挪亚和他的妻子、儿子、儿妇都出来了。

¹⁹ 一切走兽、昆虫、飞鸟，和地上所有的动物，各从其类，也都出了方舟。

²⁰ 挪亚为耶和华筑了一座坛，拿各类洁净的牲畜、飞鸟献在坛上为燔祭。

²¹ 耶和华闻那馨香之气，就心里说：我不再因人的缘故咒诅地（人从小时心里怀着恶念），也不再按着我才行的灭各种的活物了。

²² 地还存留的时候，稼穑、寒暑、冬夏、昼夜就永不停息了。

¹ Yahweh said to Noah, "Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.

² You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.

³ Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.

⁴ In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. Every living thing that I have made, I will destroy from the surface of the ground."

⁵ Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him.

⁶ Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.

⁷ Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, because of the waters of the flood.

⁸ Clean animals, animals that are not Clean, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground

⁹ went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.

¹⁰ It happened after the seven days, that the waters of the flood came on 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 burst open, and the sky's windows were opened.

¹² The rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.

¹³ In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship;

¹⁴ they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.

¹⁵ They went to Noah into the ship, by pairs of all flesh with the breath of life in them.

¹⁶ Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; and Yahweh shut him in.

¹⁷ The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.

¹⁸ The waters prevailed, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.

¹⁹ The waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.

²⁰ The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.

²¹ All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on 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 Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.

²⁴ The waters prevailed on the earth one hundred fifty days.
