¹ 耶和華對挪亞說：你和你的全家都要進入方舟；因為在這世代中，我見你在我面前是義人。

² 凡潔淨的畜類，你要帶七公七母；不潔淨的畜類，你要帶一公一母；

³ 空中的飛鳥也要帶七公七母，可以留種，活在全地上；

⁴ 因為再過七天，我要降雨在地上四十晝夜，把我所造的各種活物都從地上除滅。

⁵ 挪亞就遵著耶和華所吩咐的行了。

⁶ 當洪水氾濫在地上的時候，挪亞整六百歲。

⁷ 挪亞就同他的妻和兒子兒婦都進入方舟，躲避洪水。

⁸ 潔淨的畜類和不潔淨的畜類，飛鳥並地上一切的昆蟲，

⁹ 都是一對一對的，有公有母，到挪亞那裡進入方舟，正如神所吩咐挪亞的。

¹⁰ 過了那七天，洪水氾濫在地上。

¹¹ 當挪亞六百歲，二月十七日那一天，大淵的泉源都裂開了，天上的窗戶也敞開了

¹² 四十晝夜降大雨在地上。

¹³ 正當那日，挪亞和他三個兒子閃、含、雅弗，並挪亞的妻子和三個兒婦，都進入方舟。

¹⁴ 他們和百獸，各從其類，一切牲畜，各從其類，爬在地上的昆蟲，各從其類，一切禽鳥，各從其類，都進入方舟。

¹⁵ 凡有血肉、有氣息的活物，都一對一對地到挪亞那裡，進入方舟。

¹⁶ 凡有血肉進入方舟的，都是有公有母，正如神所吩咐挪亞的。耶和華就把他關在方舟裡頭。

¹⁷ 洪水氾濫在地上四十天，水往上長，把方舟從地上漂起。

¹⁸ 水勢浩大，在地上大大地往上長，方舟在水面上漂來漂去。

¹⁹ 水勢在地上極其浩大，天下的高山都淹沒了。

²⁰ 水勢比山高過十五肘，山嶺都淹沒了。

²¹ 凡在地上有血肉的動物，就是飛鳥、牲畜、走獸，和爬在地上的昆蟲，以及所有的人，都死了。

²² 凡在旱地上、鼻孔有氣息的生靈都死了。

²³ 凡地上各類的活物，連人帶牲畜、昆蟲，以及空中的飛鳥，都從地上除滅了，只留下挪亞和那些與他同在方舟裡的。

²⁴ 水勢浩大，在地上共一百五十天。

¹ And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

² Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

³ Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

⁴ For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

⁵ And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.

⁶ And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

⁷ And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

⁸ Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,

⁹ There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.

¹⁰ And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

¹¹ In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

¹² And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

¹³ In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;

¹⁴ They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.

¹⁵ And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.

¹⁶ And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.

¹⁷ And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.

¹⁸ And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.

¹⁹ And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.

²⁰ Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

²¹ And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:

²² All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

²³ And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.

²⁴ And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
