1 recordatus autem Deus Noe cunctarumque animantium
et omnium iumentorum quae erant cum eo in arca
adduxit spiritum super terram et inminutae sunt aquae
2 et clausi sunt fontes abyssi et cataractae caeli
et prohibitae sunt pluviae de caelo
3 reversaeque aquae de terra euntes et redeuntes
et coeperunt minui post centum quinquaginta dies
4 requievitque arca mense septimo vicesima septima die mensis super montes Armeniae
5 at vero aquae ibant et decrescebant usque ad decimum mensem
decimo enim mense prima die mensis apparuerunt cacumina montium
6 cumque transissent quadraginta dies
aperiens Noe fenestram arcae quam fecerat dimisit corvum
7 qui egrediebatur et revertebatur donec siccarentur aquae super terram
8 emisit quoque columbam post eum ut videret si iam cessassent aquae super faciem terrae
9 quae cum non invenisset ubi requiesceret pes eius reversa est ad eum in arcam
aquae enim erant super universam terram
extenditque manum et adprehensam intulit in arcam
10 expectatis autem ultra septem diebus aliis rursum dimisit columbam ex arca
11 at illa venit ad eum ad vesperam
portans ramum olivae virentibus foliis in ore suo
intellexit ergo Noe quod cessassent aquae super terram
12 expectavitque nihilominus septem alios dies et emisit columbam
quae non est reversa ultra ad eum
13 igitur sescentesimo primo anno primo mense prima die mensis
inminutae sunt aquae super terram
et aperiens Noe tectum arcae aspexit viditque quod exsiccata esset superficies terrae
14 mense secundo septima et vicesima die mensis arefacta est terra
15 locutus est autem Deus ad Noe dicens
16 egredere de arca tu et uxor tua
filii tui et uxores filiorum tuorum tecum
17 cuncta animantia quae sunt apud te ex omni carne
tam in volatilibus quam in bestiis
et in universis reptilibus quae reptant super terram
educ tecum et ingredimini super terram
crescite et multiplicamini super eam
18 egressus est ergo Noe et filii eius
uxor illius et uxores filiorum eius cum eo
19 sed et omnia animantia iumenta et reptilia quae repunt super terram
secundum genus suum arcam egressa sunt
20 aedificavit autem Noe altare Domino
et tollens de cunctis pecoribus et volucribus mundis obtulit holocausta super altare
21 odoratusque est Dominus odorem suavitatis et ait ad eum
nequaquam ultra maledicam terrae propter homines
sensus enim et cogitatio humani cordis in malum prona sunt ab adulescentia sua
non igitur ultra percutiam omnem animantem sicut feci
22 cunctis diebus terrae sementis et messis frigus et aestus
aestas et hiemps nox et dies non requiescent
1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged; 2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; 3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month , on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
6 ¶ And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: 7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark. 10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; 11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. 12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
13 ¶ And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month , the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry. 14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
15 ¶ And God spake unto Noah, saying, 16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee. 17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. 18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him: 19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
20 ¶ And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. 22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
