¹ ثم ذكر الله نوحا وكل الوحوش وكل البهائم التي معه في الفلك. واجاز الله ريحا على الارض فهدأت المياه.

² وانسدّت ينابيع الغمر وطاقات السماء. فامتنع المطر من السماء.

³ ورجعت المياه عن الارض رجوعا متواليا. وبعد مئة وخمسين يوما نقصت المياه.

⁴ واستقر الفلك في الشهر السابع في اليوم السابع عشر من الشهر على جبال اراراط.

⁵ وكانت المياه تنقص نقصا متواليا الى الشهر العاشر. وفي العاشر في اول الشهر ظهرت رؤوس الجبال

⁶ وحدث من بعد اربعين يوما ان نوحا فتح طاقة الفلك التي كان قد عملها

⁷ وارسل الغراب. فخرج مترددا حتى نشفت المياه عن الارض.

⁸ ثم ارسل الحمامة من عنده ليرى هل قلّت المياه عن وجه الارض.

⁹ فلم تجد الحمامة مقرا لرجلها. فرجعت اليه الى الفلك. لان مياها كانت على وجه كل الارض. فمدّ يده واخذها وادخلها عنده الى الفلك.

¹⁰ فلبث ايضا سبعة ايام أخر وعاد فارسل الحمامة من الفلك.

¹¹ فأتت اليه الحمامة عند المساء واذا ورقة زيتون خضراء في فمها. فعلم نوح ان المياه قد قلّت عن الارض.

¹² فلبث ايضا سبعة ايام أخر وارسل الحمامة فلم تعد ترجع اليه ايضا

¹³ وكان في السنة الواحدة والست مئة في الشهر الاول في اوّل الشهر ان المياه نشفت عن الارض. فكشف نوح الغطاء عن الفلك ونظر فاذا وجه الارض قد نشف.

¹⁴ وفي الشهر الثاني في اليوم السابع والعشرين من الشهر جفّت الارض

¹⁵ وكلم الله نوحا قائلا.

¹⁶ اخرج من الفلك انت وامرأتك وبنوك ونساء بنيك معك.

¹⁷ وكل الحيوانات التي معك من كل ذي جسد الطيور والبهائم وكل الدبابات التي تدب على الارض اخرجها معك. ولتتوالد في الارض وتثمر وتكثر على الارض.

¹⁸ فخرج نوح وبنوه وامرأته ونساء بنيه معه.

¹⁹ وكل الحيوانات كل الدبابات وكل الطيور كل ما يدبّ على الارض كانواعها خرجت من الفلك

²⁰ وبنى نوح مذبحا للرب. واخذ من كل البهائم الطاهرة ومن كل الطيور الطاهرة واصعد محرقات على المذبح.

²¹ فتنسم الرب رائحة الرضا. وقال الرب في قلبه لا اعود العن الارض ايضا من اجل الانسان لان تصوّر قلب الانسان شرير منذ حداثته. ولا اعود ايضا أميت كل حيّ كما فعلت.

²² مدة كل ايام الارض زرع وحصاد وبرد وحرّ وصيف وشتاء ونهار وليل لا تزال

¹ God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

² The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that the ground teems with, and all the fish of the sea are delivered into your hand.

³ Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As the green herb, I have given everything to you.

⁴ But flesh with its life, its blood, you shall not eat.

⁵ I will surely require your blood of your lives. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, I will require the life of man.

⁶ Whoever sheds man's blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.

⁷ Be fruitful and multiply. Bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it."

⁸ God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,

⁹ "As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,

¹⁰ and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth.

¹¹ I will establish my covenant with you: all flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth."

¹² God said, "This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

¹³ I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be for a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.

¹⁴ It will happen, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,

¹⁵ and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

¹⁶ The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."

¹⁷ God said to Noah, "This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."

¹⁸ The sons of Noah who went forth from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.

¹⁹ These three were the sons of Noah, and from these, the whole earth was populated.

²⁰ Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.

²¹ He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.

²² Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.

²³ Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn't see their father's nakedness.

²⁴ Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.

²⁵ He said, "Canaan is cursed. He will be servant of servants to his brothers."

²⁶ He said, "Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.

²⁷ May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant."

²⁸ Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.

²⁹ All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, then he died.
