¹ Και ενεθυμηθη ο Θεος τον Νωε, και παντα τα ζωα, και παντα τα κτηνη, τα μετ' αυτου εν τη κιβωτω· και διεβιβασεν ο Θεος ανεμον επι την γην, και τα υδατα εσταθησαν.

² Και εκλεισθησαν αι πηγαι της αβυσσου, και οι καταρρακται του ουρανου, και εκρατηθη ο υετος απο των ουρανων.

³ Και εσυροντο τα υδατα απο της γης κατα συνεχειαν· και ωλιγοστευον τα υδατα μετα τας εκατον πεντηκοντα ημερας.

⁴ Και εκαθισεν η κιβωτος την δεκατην εβδομην του εβδομου μηνος επι των ορεων Αραρατ.

⁵ Τα δε υδατα ωλιγοστευον κατα συνεχειαν εως του δεκατου μηνος· την πρωτην του δεκατου μηνος εφανησαν αι κορυφαι των ορεων.

⁶ Και μετα τεσσαρακοντα ημερας ηνοιξεν ο Νωε την θυριδα της κιβωτου, την οποιαν ειχε καμει·

⁷ και απεστειλε τον κορακα, οστις εξελθων υπηγαινε και ηρχετο, εωσου εξηρανθησαν τα υδατα απο της γης.

⁸ Και απεστειλε την περιστεραν κατοπιν αυτου, δια να ιδη αν επαυσαν τα υδατα απο προσωπου της γης·

⁹ και μη ευρισκουσα η περιστερα αναπαυσιν των ποδων αυτης, επεστρεψε προς αυτον εις την κιβωτον, διοτι τα υδατα ησαν επι του προσωπου πασης της γης· και εκτεινας την χειρα αυτου, επιασεν αυτην και εισηγαγεν αυτην προς εαυτον εις την κιβωτον.

¹⁰ Και ανεμεινεν ετι αλλας επτα ημερας, και παλιν απεστειλε την περιστεραν εκ της κιβωτου·

¹¹ και επεστρεψε προς αυτον η περιστερα προς το εσπερας, και ιδου, ητο εν τω στοματι αυτης φυλλον ελαιας, απεσπασμενον· και εγνωρισεν ο Νωε οτι επαυσαν τα υδατα απο της γης.

¹² Και ανεμεινεν ετι αλλας επτα ημερας, και απεστειλε την περιστεραν· και δεν επανεστρεψε πλεον προς αυτον.

¹³ Κατα δε το εξακοσιοστον πρωτον ετος του Νωε, την πρωτην του πρωτου μηνος, εξελιπον τα υδατα απο της γης· και εσηκωσεν ο Νωε την στεγην της κιβωτου, και ειδε, και ιδου, εξελιπε το υδωρ απο προσωπου της γης.

¹⁴ Και την εικοστην εβδομην ημεραν του δευτερου μηνος εξηρανθη η γη·

¹⁵ και ελαλησεν ο Θεος προς τον Νωε, λεγων,

¹⁶ Εξελθε εκ της κιβωτου, συ, και η γυνη σου, και οι υιοι σου, και αι γυναικες των υιων σου μετα σου·

¹⁷ παντα τα ζωα τα μετα σου, απο πασης σαρκος, και πτηνα και κτηνη και παν ερπετον ερπον επι της γης, εξαγαγε μετα σου, και ας πολυπλασιασθωσιν επι της γης, και ας αυξηνθωσι και ας πληθυνθωσιν επι της γης.

¹⁸ Και εξηλθεν ο Νωε, και οι υιοι αυτου, και η γυνη αυτου, και αι γυναικες των υιων αυτου μετ' αυτου·

¹⁹ παντα τα ζωα, παντα τα ερπετα και παντα τα πτηνα, παν ο, τι κινειται επι της γης, κατα τα ειδη αυτων, εξηλθον εκ της κιβωτου.

²⁰ Και ωκοδομησεν ο Νωε θυσιαστηριον εις τον Κυριον· και ελαβεν απο παντος κτηνους καθαρου, και απο παντος πτηνου καθαρου, και προσεφερεν ολοκαυτωματα επι του θυσιαστηριου.

²¹ Και ωσφρανθη Κυριος οσμην ευωδιας· και ειπε Κυριος εν τη καρδια αυτου, Δεν θελω καταρασθη πλεον την γην εξ αιτιας του ανθρωπου· διοτι ο λογισμος της καρδιας του ανθρωπου ειναι κακος εκ νηπιοτητος αυτου· ουδε θελω παταξει πλεον παντα τα ζωντα, καθως εκαμον·

²² εν οσω μενει γη, σπορα και θερισμος, και ψυχος και καυμα, και θερος και χειμων, και ημερα και νυξ, δεν θελουσι παυσει.

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."
