< Genesis 7 >

1 And the Lord said vnto Noah, Enter thou and all thine house into the Arke: for thee haue I seene righteous before me in this age.
Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Ingredere tu, et omnis domus tua in arcam: te enim vidi iustum coram me in generatione hac.
2 Of euery cleane beast thou shalt take to thee by seuens, the male and his female: but of vncleane beastes by couples, the male and his female.
Ex omnibus animantibus mundis tolle septena et septena, masculum et feminam: de animantibus vero immundis duo et duo, masculum et feminam.
3 Of the foules also of the heauen by seuens, male and female, to keepe seede aliue vpon the whole earth.
Sed et de volatilibus cæli septena et septena, masculum et feminam: ut salvetur semen super faciem universæ terræ.
4 For seuen dayes hence I will cause it raine vpon the earth fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes, and all the substance that I haue made, will I destroy from off the earth.
Adhuc enim, et post dies septem ego pluam super terram quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus: et delebo omnem substantiam, quam feci, de superficie terræ.
5 Noah therefore did according vnto all that the Lord commanded him.
Fecit ergo Noe omnia, quæ mandaverat ei Dominus.
6 And Noah was sixe hundreth yeeres olde, when the flood of waters was vpon the earth.
Eratque sexcentorum annorum quando diluvii aquæ inundaverunt super terram.
7 So Noah entred and his sonnes, and his wife, and his sonnes wiues with him into the Arke, because of the waters of the flood.
Et ingressus est Noe et filii eius, uxor eius et uxores filiorum eius cum eo in arcam propter aquas diluvii.
8 Of the cleane beastes, and of the vncleane beastes, and of the foules, and of all that creepeth vpon the earth,
De animantibus quoque mundis et immundis, et de volucribus, et ex omni, quod movetur super terram,
9 There came two and two vnto Noah into the Arke, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
duo et duo ingressa sunt ad Noe in arcam, masculus et femina, sicut præceperat Dominus Noe.
10 And so after seuen dayes the waters of the flood were vpon the earth.
Cumque transissent septem dies, aquæ diluvii inundaverunt super terram.
11 In the sixe hundreth yeere of Noahs life in the second moneth, the seuetenth day of the moneth, in the same day were all the fountaines of the great deepe broken vp, and the windowes of heauen were opened,
Anno sexcentesimo vitæ Noe, mense secundo, septimodecimo die mensis, rupti sunt omnes fontes abyssi magnæ, et cataractæ cæli apertæ sunt:
12 And the raine was vpon the earth fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes.
et facta est pluvia super terram quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus.
13 In the selfe same day entred Noah with Shem, and Ham and Iapheth, the sonnes of Noah, and Noahs wife, and the three wiues of his sonnes with them into the Arke.
In articulo diei illius ingressus est Noe, et Sem, et Cham, et Iapheth filii eius: uxor illius, et tres uxores filiorum eius cum eis in arcam:
14 They and euery beast after his kinde, and all cattell after their kinde, and euery thing that creepeth and moueth vpon the earth after his kinde, and euery foule after his kinde, euen euery bird of euery fether.
ipsi et omne animal secundum genus suum, universaque iumenta in genere suo, et omne quod movetur super terram in genere suo, cunctumque volatile secundum genus suum, universæ aves, omnesque volucres
15 For they came to Noah into ye Arke, two and two, of all flesh wherein is ye breath of life.
ingressæ sunt ad Noe in arcam, bina et bina ex omni carne, in qua erat spiritus vitæ.
16 And they entring in, came male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.
Et quæ ingressa sunt, masculus et femina ex omni carne introierunt, sicut præceperat ei Deus: et inclusit eum Dominus deforis.
17 Then ye flood was fourtie dayes vpon the earth, and the waters were increased, and bare vp the Arke, which was lift vp aboue the earth.
Factumque est diluvium quadraginta diebus super terram: et multiplicatæ sunt aquæ, et elevaverunt arcam in sublime a terra.
18 The waters also waxed strong, and were increased exceedingly vpon the earth, and the Arke went vpon the waters.
Vehementer enim inundaverunt: et omnia repleverunt in superficie terræ: porro arca ferebatur super aquas.
19 The waters preuailed so exceedingly vpon the earth, that all the high mountaines, that are vnder the whole heauen, were couered.
Et aquæ prævaluerunt nimis super terram: opertique sunt omnes montes excelsi sub universo cælo.
20 Fifteene cubites vpwarde did the waters preuaile, when the mountaines were couered.
Quindecim cubitis altior fuit aqua super montes, quos operuerat.
21 Then all flesh perished that moued vpon the earth, both foule and cattell and beast, and euery thing that creepeth and moueth vpon the earth, and euery man.
Consumptaque est omnis caro quæ movebatur super terram, volucrum, animantium, bestiarum, omniumque reptilium, quæ reptant super terram: universi homines,
22 Euery thing in whose nostrels the spirit of life did breathe, whatsoeuer they were in the drie land, they died.
et cuncta, in quibus spiraculum vitæ est in terra, mortua sunt.
23 So he destroyed euery thing that was vpon the earth, from man to beast, to ye creeping thing, and to the foule of the heauen: they were euen destroyed from the earth. And Noah onely remained; and they that were with him in ye Arke.
Et delevit omnem substantiam, quæ erat super terram, ab homine usque ad pecus, tam reptile quam volucres cæli: et deleta sunt de terra: remansit autem solus Noe, et qui cum eo erant in arca.
24 And the waters preuailed vpon the earth an hundreth and fiftie dayes.
Obtinueruntque aquæ terram centum quinquaginta diebus.
