Genesis 7
1 And the Lord said to him: “Enter the ark, you and all your house. For I have seen you to be just in my sight, within this generation.
Lalu berkatalah TUHAN kepada Nuh, "Aku melihat bahwa engkau satu-satunya orang yang melakukan kehendak-Ku. Jadi, masuklah ke dalam kapal itu bersama-sama dengan seluruh keluargamu.
2 From all the clean animals, take seven and seven, the male and the female. Yet truly, from animals that are unclean, take two and two, the male and the female.
Bawalah juga tujuh pasang dari setiap jenis burung dan binatang lainnya yang halal, sedangkan dari yang haram hanya satu pasang saja dari setiap jenis. Lakukanlah itu supaya dari setiap jenis binatang ada yang luput dari kebinasaan dan bisa berkembang biak lagi di bumi.
3 But also from the birds of the air, take seven and seven, the male and the female, so that offspring may be saved upon the face of the whole earth.
4 For from that point, and after seven days, I will rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. And I will wipe away every substance that I have made, from the surface of the earth.”
Tujuh hari lagi Aku akan menurunkan hujan yang tidak akan reda selama empat puluh hari empat puluh malam, supaya makhluk hidup yang telah Kuciptakan itu binasa."
5 Therefore, Noah did all things just as the Lord had commanded him.
Lalu Nuh melakukan segala yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepadanya.
6 And he was six hundred years old when the waters of the great flood inundated the earth.
Nuh berumur 600 tahun ketika terjadi banjir di bumi.
7 And Noah entered into the ark, and his sons, his wife, and the wives of his sons with him, because of the waters of the great flood.
Nuh dan istrinya, dan anak-anaknya beserta istri-istri mereka, masuk ke dalam kapal itu untuk menyelamatkan diri dari banjir.
8 And from the animals both clean and unclean, and from the birds, and from everything that moves upon the earth,
Seekor jantan dan seekor betina dari setiap jenis burung dan binatang lainnya--baik yang halal maupun yang haram--
9 two by two they were brought into the ark to Noah, male and female, just as the Lord had instructed Noah.
masuk ke dalam kapal itu bersama-sama dengan Nuh, sesuai dengan perintah Allah.
10 And when seven days had passed, the waters of the great flood inundated the earth.
Tujuh hari kemudian banjir datang melanda bumi.
11 In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great abyss were released, and the floodgates of heaven were opened.
Pada waktu Nuh berumur 600 tahun, pada tanggal tujuh belas bulan dua, pecahlah segala mata air di bawah bumi. Segala pintu air di langit terbuka,
12 And rain came upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.
dan hujan turun selama empat puluh hari empat puluh malam.
13 On the very same day, Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and his wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark.
Pada hari itu juga, Nuh dan istrinya masuk ke dalam kapal itu bersama ketiga anaknya, yaitu Sem, Yafet dan Ham beserta istri-istri mereka.
14 They and every animal according to its kind, and all the cattle in their kind, and everything that moves upon the earth in their kind, and every flying thing according to its kind, all the birds and all that can fly,
Bersama-sama dengan mereka masuk pula setiap jenis burung dan binatang lainnya, baik yang jinak maupun yang liar, yang besar maupun yang kecil.
15 entered the ark to Noah, two by two out of all that is flesh, in which there was the breath of life.
Seekor jantan dan seekor betina dari setiap jenis makhluk hidup masuk ke dalam kapal itu bersama-sama dengan Nuh,
16 And those that entered went in male and female, from all that is flesh, just as God had instructed him. And then the Lord closed him in from the outside.
sesuai dengan perintah Allah kepadanya. Setelah semuanya masuk, TUHAN menutup pintu kapal.
17 And the great flood occurred for forty days upon the earth. And the waters were increased, and they lifted the ark high above the land.
Banjir itu terus melanda selama empat puluh hari, dan air menjadi cukup tinggi sehingga kapal itu dapat mengapung.
18 For they overflowed greatly, and they filled everything on the surface of the earth. And then the ark was carried across the waters.
Air semakin tinggi, dan kapal itu terapung-apung pada permukaan air.
19 And the waters prevailed beyond measure across the earth. And all the lofty mountains under the whole heaven were covered.
Air itu terus bertambah tinggi, sehingga tergenanglah gunung-gunung yang paling tinggi.
20 The water was fifteen cubits higher than the mountains which it covered.
Air terus naik sampai mencapai ketinggian tujuh meter di atas puncak-puncak gunung.
21 And all flesh was consumed which moved upon the earth: flying things, animals, wild beasts, and all moving things that crawl upon the ground. And all men,
TUHAN membinasakan segala makhluk yang hidup di bumi ini: Manusia, burung dan binatang darat baik kecil maupun besar. Yang tidak binasa hanyalah Nuh dan semua yang ada bersama-sama dengan dia di dalam kapal itu.
22 and everything in which there is the breath of life on earth, died.
23 And he wiped away all substance that was upon the earth, from man to animal, the crawling things just as much as the flying things of the air. And they were wiped away from the earth. But only Noah remained, and those who were with him in the ark.
24 And the waters possessed the earth for one hundred and fifty days.
Air itu tidak kunjung surut selama 150 hari.
The Great Flood
