¹ 耶和华对挪亚说：你和你的全家都要进入方舟；因为在这世代中，我见你在我面前是义人。

² 凡洁净的畜类，你要带七公七母；不洁净的畜类，你要带一公一母；

³ 空中的飞鸟也要带七公七母，可以留种，活在全地上；

⁴ 因为再过七天，我要降雨在地上四十昼夜，把我所造的各种活物都从地上除灭。

⁵ 挪亚就遵着耶和华所吩咐的行了。

⁶ 当洪水泛滥在地上的时候，挪亚整六百岁。

⁷ 挪亚就同他的妻和儿子儿妇都进入方舟，躲避洪水。

⁸ 洁净的畜类和不洁净的畜类，飞鸟并地上一切的昆虫，

⁹ 都是一对一对的，有公有母，到挪亚那里进入方舟，正如神所吩咐挪亚的。

¹⁰ 过了那七天，洪水泛滥在地上。

¹¹ 当挪亚六百岁，二月十七日那一天，大渊的泉源都裂开了，天上的窗户也敞开了

¹² 四十昼夜降大雨在地上。

¹³ 正当那日，挪亚和他三个儿子闪、含、雅弗，并挪亚的妻子和三个儿妇，都进入方舟。

¹⁴ 他们和百兽，各从其类，一切牲畜，各从其类，爬在地上的昆虫，各从其类，一切禽鸟，各从其类，都进入方舟。

¹⁵ 凡有血肉、有气息的活物，都一对一对地到挪亚那里，进入方舟。

¹⁶ 凡有血肉进入方舟的，都是有公有母，正如神所吩咐挪亚的。耶和华就把他关在方舟里头。

¹⁷ 洪水泛滥在地上四十天，水往上长，把方舟从地上漂起。

¹⁸ 水势浩大，在地上大大地往上长，方舟在水面上漂来漂去。

¹⁹ 水势在地上极其浩大，天下的高山都淹没了。

²⁰ 水势比山高过十五肘，山岭都淹没了。

²¹ 凡在地上有血肉的动物，就是飞鸟、牲畜、走兽，和爬在地上的昆虫，以及所有的人，都死了。

²² 凡在旱地上、鼻孔有气息的生灵都死了。

²³ 凡地上各类的活物，连人带牲畜、昆虫，以及空中的飞鸟，都从地上除灭了，只留下挪亚和那些与他同在方舟里的。

²⁴ 水势浩大，在地上共一百五十天。

¹ Awake, Awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.

² Shake yourself from the dust; arise, sit [on your throne], Jerusalem: release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion.

³ For thus says Yahweh, "You were sold for nothing; and you shall be redeemed without money."

⁴ For thus says the Lord Yahweh, "My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there: and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.

⁵ "Now therefore, what do I here," says Yahweh, "seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? those who rule over them mock," says Yahweh, "and my name continually all the day is blasphemed.

⁶ Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore [they shall know] in that day that I am he who does speak; behold, it is I."

⁷ How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

⁸ The voice of your watchmen! they lift up the voice, together do they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when Yahweh returns to Zion.

⁹ Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for Yahweh has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.

¹⁰ Yahweh has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

¹¹ Depart, depart, go out from there, touch no unclean thing! go out of the midst of her! Cleanse yourselves, you who bear the vessels of Yahweh.

¹² For you shall not go out in haste, neither shall you go by flight: for Yahweh will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

¹³ Behold, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.

¹⁴ Like as many were astonished at you (his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),

¹⁵ so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they understand.
