¹ И сказалъ Іегова Ною: войди со всјмъ семействомъ твоимъ въ ковчегъ; ибо тебя вижу Я праведнымъ предо Мною въ семъ вјкј.

² Возьми съ собою изъ всякаго скота чистаго по семи, мужскаго пола и женскаго, а изъ скота нечистаго по два, мужскаго пола и женскаго.

³ Также и птицъ небесныхъ по семи, мужскаго пола и женскаго, чтобы сохранить племя для всей земли.

⁴ Ибо чрезъ семь дней отнынј, Я повелю дождю литъся на землю сорокъ дней и сорокъ ночей; и истреблю съ лица земли все существующее, что Я ни создалъ.

⁵ Ной сдјлалъ все, что Іегова повелјлъ ему.

⁶ Ной же былъ шесги сотъ лјть отъ рожденія, какь вода потопная пришла на землю.

⁷ И вошелъ Ной отъ водъ потопа въ ковчегъ, и съ нимъ сыновья его, и жена его, и жены сыновъ его.

⁸ И изъ скота чистаго и изъ скота нечистаго, и изъ всјхъ птицъ и изъ всјхъ пресмыкающихся по землј,

⁹ по парј, мужскаго пола и женскаго, вошли къ Ною въ ковчегъ, какъ Богъ повелјлъ Ною.

¹⁰ И когда минуло семь дней, воды потопа пришли на землю.

¹¹ Въ шестисотомъ году жизни Ноевой, во второмъ мтснцј, въ семнадцатый день мјсяца, въ сей день разверзлись всј источники великой бездны, и окна небесныя отворились.

¹² И лился на землю дождь сорокъ дней и сорокъ ночей

¹³ Въ сей самый день вошелъ въ ковчегъ Ной, н сыновья Ноевы, Сиімъ, Хамъ и Іафетъ, и жена Ноева, и три жены сыновъ его съ ними.

¹⁴ Они и всј звјри по роду ихъ, и всякой скоть по роду его, и всј гады пресмыкающіеся по землј по роду ихъ и всј птицы по роду ихъ, всј летающія, всј пернатыя.

¹⁵ По парј отъ всякой плоти, въ которой есть духъ жизни, вошло къ Ною въ ковчегъ.

¹⁶ И вошедшіе были мужскій и женскій полъ всякой плоти, такъ, какь повелјль ему Богъ. Наконецъ Іегова затворилъ за нимъ.

¹⁷ И продолжалось на землј наводненіе сорокъ дней, и умножились воды, и подняли ковчегъ, и онъ возвысился надъ землею

¹⁸ И усиливались воды, и весьма умножались на землј, и ковчегъ плавалъ по поверхности воды.

¹⁹ И воды усиливались на землј болје и болје, и покрылись всј высокія горы, какія есть подъ всјмъ небомъ.

²⁰ Еще выше, на пятьнадцать локтей поднялись воды, когда покрылнсь горы.

²¹ И лишилась жизни всякая плоть, двигавшаяся по землј, птицы, к скотъ, и звјри, и всј гады, ползавшіе по землј, и всј люди.

²² Все, что имјло дыханіе духа жизни въ ноздряхъ своихъ на сушј, померло.

²³ И истребилось все, что существовало на поверхности земли, отъ человјка до скота и гада и птицы небесной, все истребилосъ съ земли: и остался только Ной, и что было съ нимъ въ ковчегј.

²⁴ И поднимались воды надъ землею сто пятьдесять дней.

¹ The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.

² It happened, as they traveled east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.

³ They said one to another, "Come, let's make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.

⁴ They said, "Come, let's build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let's make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth."

⁵ Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.

⁶ Yahweh said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.

⁷ Come, let's go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."

⁸ So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.

⁹ Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.

³⁰ Sarai was barren. She had no child.

³¹ Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife. They went forth from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan. They came to Haran and lived there.

³² The days of Terah were two hundred five years. Terah died in Haran.
