¹ 여호와께서 노아에게 이르시되 너와 네 온 집은 방주로 들어가라 네가 이 세대에 내 앞에서 의로움을 내가 보았음이니라 !

² 너는 모든 정결한 짐승은 암수 일곱씩 부정한 것은 암수 둘씩을 네게로 취하며

³ 공중의 새도 암수 일곱씩을 취하여 그 씨를 온 지면에 유전케하라

⁴ 지금부터 칠일이면 내가 사십 주야를 땅에 비를 내려 나의 지은 모든 생물을 지면에서 쓸어 버리리라

⁵ 노아가 여호와께서 자기에게 명하신 대로 다 준행하였더라 !

⁶ 홍수가 땅에 있을 때에 노아가 육백세라

⁷ 노아가 아들들과 아내와 자부들과 함께 홍수를 피하여 방주에 들어갔고

⁸ 정결한 짐승과 부정한 짐승과 새와 땅에 기는 모든 것이

⁹ 하나님이 노아에게 명하신 대로 암수 둘씩 노아에게 나아와 방주로 들어갔더니

¹⁰ 칠일 후에 홍수가 땅에 덮이니

¹¹ 노아 육백세 되던 해 이월 곧 그 달 십 칠일이라 그날에 큰 깊음의 샘들이 터지며 하늘의 창들이 열려

¹² 사십 주야를 비가 땅에 쏟아졌더라

¹³ 곧 그 날에 노아와 그의 아들 셈, 함, 야벳과 노아의 처와 세 자부가 다 방주로 들어갔고

¹⁴ 그들과 모든 들짐승이 그 종류대로, 모든 육축이 그 종류대로, 땅에 기는 모든 것이 그 종류대로, 모든 새 곧 각양의 새가 그 종류대로

¹⁵ 무릇 기식이 있는 육체가 둘씩 노아에게 나아와 방주로 들어갔으니

¹⁶ 들어간 것들은 모든 것의 암,수라 하나님이 그에게 명하신대로 들어가매 여호와께서 그를 닫아 넣으시니라

¹⁷ 홍수가 땅에 사십일을 있었는지라 물이 많아져 방주가 땅에서 올랐고

¹⁸ 물이 더 많아져 땅에 창일하매 방주가 물 위에 떠 다녔으며

¹⁹ 물이 땅에 더욱 창일하매 천하에 높은 산이 다 덮였더니

²⁰ 물이 불어서 십오 규빗이 오르매 산들이 덮인지라

²¹ 땅위에 움직이는 생물이 다 죽었으니 곧 새와 육축과 들짐승과 땅에 기는 모든 것과 모든 사람이라

²² 육지에 있어 코로 생물의 기식을 호흡하는 것은 다 죽었더라

²³ 지면의 모든 생물을 쓸어버리시니 곧 사람과 짐승과 기는 것과 공중의 새까지라 이들은 땅에서 쓸어버림을 당하였으되 홀로 노아와 그와 함께 방주에 있던 자만 남았더라

²⁴ 물이 일백 오십일을 땅에 창일하였더라

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."
