¹ 神記念挪亞和挪亞方舟裡的一切走獸牲畜。神叫風吹地，水勢漸落。

² 淵源和天上的窗戶都閉塞了，天上的大雨也止住了。

³ 水從地上漸退。過了一百五十天，水就漸消。

⁴ 七月十七日，方舟停在亞拉臘山上。

⁵ 水又漸消，到十月初一日，山頂都現出來了。

⁶ 過了四十天，挪亞開了方舟的窗戶，

⁷ 放出一隻烏鴉去；那烏鴉飛來飛去，直到地上的水都乾了。

⁸ 他又放出一隻鴿子去，要看看水從地上退了沒有。

⁹ 但遍地上都是水，鴿子找不著落腳之地，就回到方舟挪亞那裡，挪亞伸手把鴿子接進方舟來。

¹⁰ 他又等了七天，再把鴿子從方舟放出去。

¹¹ 到了晚上，鴿子回到他那裡，嘴裡叼著一個新擰下來的橄欖葉子，挪亞就知道地上的水退了。

¹² 他又等了七天，放出鴿子去，鴿子就不再回來了。

¹³ 到挪亞六百零一歲，正月初一日，地上的水都乾了。挪亞撤去方舟的蓋觀看，便見地面上乾了。

¹⁴ 到了二月二十七日，地就都乾了。

¹⁵ 神對挪亞說：

¹⁶ 你和你的妻子、兒子、兒婦都可以出方舟。

¹⁷ 在你那裡凡有血肉的活物，就是飛鳥、牲畜，和一切爬在地上的昆蟲，都要帶出來，叫他在地上多多滋生，大大興旺。

¹⁸ 於是挪亞和他的妻子、兒子、兒婦都出來了。

¹⁹ 一切走獸、昆蟲、飛鳥，和地上所有的動物，各從其類，也都出了方舟。

²⁰ 挪亞為耶和華築了一座壇，拿各類潔淨的牲畜、飛鳥獻在壇上為燔祭。

²¹ 耶和華聞那馨香之氣，就心裡說：我不再因人的緣故咒詛地（人從小時心裡懷著惡念），也不再按著我才行的滅各種的活物了。

²² 地還存留的時候，稼穡、寒暑、冬夏、晝夜就永不停息了。

¹ It happened, when men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were born to them,

² that God's sons saw that men's daughters were beautiful, and they took for themselves wives of all that they chose.

³ Yahweh said, "My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; yet will his days be one hundred twenty years."

⁴ The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God's sons came in to men's daughters. They bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

⁵ Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

⁶ Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.

⁷ Yahweh said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground; man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."

⁸ But Noah found favor in Yahweh's eyes.

⁹ This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.

¹⁰ Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

¹¹ The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

¹² God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

¹³ God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

¹⁴ Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.

¹⁵ This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship will be three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

¹⁶ You shall make a roof in the ship, and you shall finish it to a cubit upward. You shall set the door of the ship in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels.

¹⁷ I, even I, do bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die.

¹⁸ But I will establish my covenant with you. You shall come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.

¹⁹ Of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.

²⁰ Of the birds after their kind, of the livestock after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come to you, to keep them alive.

²¹ Take with you of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them."

²² Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
