¹ Opet mi dođe riječ Jahvina:

² "Sine čovječji! Ti boraviš u rodu odmetničkom koji ima oči, a ne vidi, uši ima, a ne čuje, jer su rod odmetnički.

³ Zato, sine čovječji, spremi izgnanički zavežljaj i njima na oči obdan se seli: seli se iz svojega mjesta u drugo, ne bi li uvidjeli da su rod odmetnički.

⁴ Obdan, njima na oči, iznesi zavežljaj, zavežljaj izgnanički, a iziđi obnoć na njihove oči kao što se odlazi u izgnanstvo.

⁵ Njima na oči prokopaj zid i kroza nj izađi.

⁶ I njima na oči vrgni zavežljaj na ramena i po mrkloj noći iziđi. Pokrij lice da ne vidiš zemlju, jer te postavih kao znamenje domu Izraelovu!"

⁷ Učinih kako mi bijaše zapovjeđeno: obdan iznesoh zavežljaj, zavežljaj izgnanički, a obnoć prokopah zid rukama i njima na oči po mrkloj noći vrgoh zavežljaj na ramena.

⁸ Ujutro mi dođe riječ Jahvina:

⁹ "Sine čovječji, zapita li te dom Izraelov, dom odmetnički: 'Što to radiš?'

¹⁰ ti mu reci: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod! Ovo je proroštvo knezu jeruzalemskom i svemu domu Izraelovu koji je u Jeruzalemu.'

¹¹ Reci: 'Ja sam vam znamenje! Kako ja uradih, tako će biti njima: svi ćete se morati seliti u izgnanstvo!

¹² Knez njihov morat će vrći zavežljaj na ramena i po mrkloj noći izaći. Prokopat će zid da izađe kroza nj i lice će pokriti rukama da očima ne vidi zemlje.

¹³ Ja ću mu razapeti mrežu, i uhvatit će se u moju zamku, i odvest ću ga u Babilon, u zemlju kaldejsku. Ali je on neće ugledati i ondje će život ostaviti.

¹⁴ A sve one oko njega, pomagače i čete, raspršit ću u sve vjetrove i svoj mač ću trgnuti na njih.

¹⁵ A kad ih raspršim među narode i rasijem po zemljama, znat će da sam ja Jahve.

¹⁶ Ipak, ostavit ću nekolicinu koji će umaći maču, gladi i kugi, da među narodima kamo prispiju pripovijedaju svoje gadosti; neka se zna da sam ja Jahve.'"

¹⁷ I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

¹⁸ "Sine čovječji, jedi kruha zabrinuto i pij vode sa zebnjom i sa strepnjom!

¹⁹ I reci puku zemlje: 'Ovako govori Jahve Gospod Jeruzalemcima u zemlji Izraelovoj: Zabrinuto će jesti kruha i sa strepnjom piti vode, jer će im zemlja opustjeti i ostat će bez igdje ičega s bezakonja žitelja svojih.

²⁰ I svi gradovi, sada napučeni, bit će poharani, a sva zemlja opustošena. I znat će da sam ja Jahve!'"

²¹ I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

²² "Sine čovječji, kakve su vam to priče o zemlji Izraelovoj? Govori se: 'Gle, prolaze dani, a od proroštva ništa!'

²³ Zato im reci: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Dokončat ću te priče i neće se više ponavljati u Izraelu.' Reci im: 'Bliže se već dani i sva će se proroštva moja ispuniti!

²⁴ Jer neće više biti u domu Izraelovu varavih viđenja, ni lažnih proroštava kojima ljude bijahu zavodili.

²⁵ Jer što ja, Jahve Gospod, govorim, to će i biti, i riječ se neće odgoditi! Da! Još za vaših dana, rode odmetnički, riječ ću izgovoriti i izvršiti.' Tako govori Jahve Gospod!"

²⁶ I dođe mi riječ Jahvina:

²⁷ "Sine čovječji! Evo što se govori u domu Izraelovu: 'Viđenje što ga ovaj ugleda za dane je daleke! Prorokuje za daleka vremena!'

²⁸ Zato im reci: Ovako govori Jahve Gospod: 'Nijedna riječ moja neće se više odgoditi! Što rekoh, rečeno je, i sve će se ispuniti!' - riječ je Jahve Gospoda."

¹ God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.

² The deep's fountains and the sky's windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

³ The waters receded from the earth continually. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters decreased.

⁴ The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat's mountains.

⁵ The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

⁶ It happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,

⁷ and he sent forth a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.

⁸ He sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,

⁹ but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ship; for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.

¹⁰ He stayed yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ship.

¹¹ The dove came back to him at evening, and, behold, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.

¹² He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she didn't return to him any more.

¹³ It happened in the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dried.

¹⁴ In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

¹⁵ God spoke to Noah, saying,

¹⁶ "Go out of the ship, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.

¹⁷ Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth."

¹⁸ Noah went forth, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him.

¹⁹ Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.

²⁰ Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

²¹ Yahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, "I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, because the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again strike everything living, as I have done.

²² While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
