1 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Noe, Lumulan ka at ang iyong buong sangbahayan sa sasakyan; sapagka't ikaw ay aking nakitang matuwid sa harap ko sa panahong ito.

2 Sa bawa't malinis na hayop ay kukuha ka ng tigpipito, ng lalake at ng kaniyang babae; at sa mga hayop na hindi malinis ay dalawa, ng lalake at ng kaniyang babae;

3 Gayon din naman sa mga ibon sa himpapawid tigpipito, ng lalake at ng babae; upang ingatang binhing buhay sa ibabaw ng buong lupa.

4 Sapagka't pitong araw pa, at pauulanan ko na ang ibabaw ng lupa ng apat na pung araw at apat na pung gabi, at aking lilipulin ang lahat ng may buhay na aking nilikha sa balat ng lupa.

5 At ginawa ni Noe ayon sa lahat na iniutos sa kaniya ng Panginoon.

6 At may anim na raang taon si Noe nang ang baha ng tubig ay dumagsa sa ibabaw ng lupa.

7 At lumulan sa sasakyan si Noe at ang kaniyang mga anak, at ang kaniyang asawa, at ang mga asawa ng kaniyang mga anak, dahil sa tubig ng baha.

8 Sa mga hayop na malinis, at sa mga hayop na hindi malinis, at sa mga ibon at sa bawa't umuusad sa ibabaw ng lupa,

9 Ay dalawa't dalawang dumating kay Noe sa sasakyan, na lalake at babae ayon sa iniutos ng Dios kay Noe.

10 At nangyari na pagkaraan ng pitong araw, na ang tubig ng baha ay umapaw sa ibabaw ng lupa.

11 Sa ikaanim na raang taon ng buhay ni Noe, nang ikalawang buwan, sa ikalabing pitong araw ng buwan, nang araw ding yaon, ay nangasira ang lahat ng bukal ng lubhang kalaliman, at ang mga durungawan ng langit ay nabuksan.

12 At umulan sa ibabaw ng lupa ng apat na pung araw at apat na pung gabi.

13 Nang araw ding yaon, ay lumulan sa sasakyan si Noe, at si Sem, at si Cham, at si Japhet, na mga anak ni Noe, at ang asawa ni Noe, at ang tatlong asawa ng kaniyang mga anak na kasama nila;

14 Sila, at ang bawa't hayop gubat ayon sa kanikanilang uri, at lahat ng hayop na maamo ayon sa kanikanilang uri, at bawa't umuusad sa ibabaw ng lupa ayon sa kanikanilang uri, at bawa't ibon ayon sa kanikanilang uri, lahat ng sarisaring ibon.

15 At nagsidating kay Noe sa sasakyan na dalawa't dalawa, ang lahat ng hayop na may hinga ng buhay.

16 At ang mga nagsilulan, ay lumulang lalake at babae, ng lahat na laman, gaya ng iniutos sa kaniya ng Dios: at kinulong siya ng Panginoon.

17 At tumagal ang baha ng apat na pung araw sa ibabaw ng lupa; at lumaki ang tubig at lumutang ang sasakyan, at nataas sa ibabaw ng lupa.

18 At dumagsa ang tubig at lumaking mainam sa ibabaw ng lupa; at lumutang ang sasakyan sa ibabaw ng tubig.

19 At dumagsang lubha ang tubig sa ibabaw ng lupa: at inapawan ang lahat na mataas na bundok na nasa silong ng buong langit.

20 Labing limang siko ang lalim na idinagsa ng tubig; at inapawan ang mga bundok.

21 At namatay ang lahat ng lamang gumagalaw sa ibabaw ng lupa, ang mga ibon at gayon din ang hayop, at ang hayop gubat, at ang bawa't nagsisiusad na umuusad sa ibabaw ng lupa, at ang bawa't tao.

22 Ang bawa't may hinga ng diwa ng buhay sa kanilang ilong, lahat na nasa lupang tuyo ay namatay.

23 At nilipol ang bawa't may buhay na nasa ibabaw ng lupa, ang tao at gayon din ang hayop, at ang mga umuusad at ang mga ibon sa himpapawid; at sila'y nalipol sa lupa: at ang natira lamang, ay si Noe at ang mga kasama niya sa sasakyan.

24 At tumagal ang tubig sa ibabaw ng lupa, ng isang daan at limang pung araw.

612. Noah was a man righteous, and perfect 1 in his generations. That this signifies that he was such that he could be endowed with charity, is evident from the signification of “just and perfect” “just” (or “righteous”) having regard to the good of charity, and “perfect” to the truth of charity; and also from the essential of that church being charity, concerning which, of the Lord’s Divine mercy hereafter. That “just” (or “righteous”) has regard to the good of charity, and “perfect” to the truth of charity, is evident from the Word, as in Isaiah:

They will seek Me daily and desire knowledge of My ways, as a nation that doeth righteousness, and forsaketh not the judgment of their God; they will ask of Me the judgments of righteousness, and will long for the approach of God (Isaiah 58:2).

Here “judgment” denotes the things which are of truth, and “righteousness” those which are of good. “Doing judgment and righteousness” became as it were an established formula for doing what is true and good (as in Isaiah 56:1; Jeremiah 22:3, 13, 15; 23:5; 33:14, 16, 19). The Lord said:

The righteous 2 shall shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of My father (Matthew 13:43),

“the righteous” meaning those who are endowed with charity; and concerning the consummation of the age He said:

The angels shall go forth and shall sever the wicked from among the righteous (Matthew 13:49).

Here also the “righteous” denote those who are in the good of charity.

[2] But “perfect” signifies the truth which is from charity, for there is truth from many another origin; but that which is from the good of charity from the Lord is called “perfect” and a “perfect man” as in David:

Who shall sojourn in Thy tent, who shall dwell in the mountain of Thy holiness? He that walketh perfect, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart (Psalms 15:1-2).

The “perfect” [or “complete”] man is here described. Again:

With the holy Thou wilt show Thyself holy; with the perfect man Thou wilt show Thyself perfect (Psalms 18:25),

where the “perfect man” is one who is so from holiness, or the good of charity. And again:

Jehovah will withhold no good from them that walk in perfectness [integritate] (Psalms 84:11).

[3] That a “perfect man” is one who is true from good, or who speaks and does truth from charity, is evident from the words “walk” and “way” being often applied to what is perfect, that is, to wholeness or entirety, and also the words “upright” or “uprightness” which words pertain to truth. As in David:

I will teach the perfect in the way how far he shall come unto me. I will walk within my house in the perfectness of my heart (Psalms 101:2);

and in the sixth verse:

He that walketh in the way of the perfect, he shall minister unto me (Psalms 101:6).

Again:

Blessed are the perfect in the way, who walk in the law of Jehovah (Psalms 119:1).

And again:

Perfectness and uprightness shall guard me (Psalms 25:21).

And in another place:

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace (Psalms 37:37).

It is evident from these passages that he is called “righteous” who does what is good, and that he is called “perfect” who does what is true therefrom, which also is to “do righteousness and judgment.” “Holiness” and “righteousness” are the celestial of faith; “perfectness” and “judgment” are the spiritual thence derived.

脚注:

1. “Perfect” is used here in the sense of “whole,” “entire.” Swedenborg’s word is integer. [Reviser.]

2. The Latin has only one word for our two English words “just” and “righteous” and it is the same with “justice” and “righteousness.” [Reviser.]
