< Genesis 7 >

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.
耶和华对挪亚说:“你和你全家都进入方舟,因为这个世代只有你在我眼中是义人。
2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee seven and seven, the male and his female; and of the beasts that are not clean two, the male and his female;
洁净的动物,你要每样带七公七母,不洁净的动物每样带一公一母,
3 of the fowl also of the air, seven and seven, male and female: to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
飞鸟每样带七公七母,叫它们以后可以在地上繁衍后代。
4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the ground.
因为七天之后,我要在地上降雨四十昼夜,从地上毁灭我所造的一切活物。”
5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
凡耶和华所吩咐的,挪亚都照办了。
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
洪水在大地上泛滥那年,挪亚六百岁了。
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.
挪亚与妻子、儿子们和儿媳们都进了方舟,躲避洪水。
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the ground,
洁净的动物、不洁净的动物、飞禽和地上的一切爬虫,
9 there went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
都一公一母成对地到挪亚那里,进了方舟,正如上帝对挪亚的吩咐。
10 And it came to pass after the seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
七天过后,洪水在地上泛滥起来。
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
挪亚六百岁那年的二月十七日,所有深渊的泉源都裂开了,天上的水闸也打开了,
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
地上大雨降了四十昼夜。
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;
就在那天,挪亚与他的儿子闪、含和雅弗,还有挪亚的妻子和三个儿媳妇都进了方舟。
14 they, and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind, every bird of every sort.
所有的野兽、牲畜、地上的爬虫和飞鸟都按种类进入方舟。
15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh wherein is the breath of life.
一切有生命气息的活物都成对地到挪亚那里,进入方舟。
16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
所有进入方舟的动物都是一公一母,正如上帝对挪亚的吩咐。然后,耶和华关上了方舟的门。
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.
洪水在地上泛滥了四十天,水不断往上涨,把方舟漂了起来。
18 And the waters prevailed, and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
洪水来势汹汹,淹没大地,方舟漂浮在水面上。
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high mountains that were under the whole heaven were covered.
水势越来越大,把天下各处的高山都淹没了。
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
水淹没了群山,高出群山七米。
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both fowl, and cattle, and beast, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
地上所有的飞禽、走兽、牲畜、爬虫等动物和人类都死了。
22 all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
陆地上所有鼻孔有生命气息的活物都死了。
23 And every living thing was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and creeping thing, and fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only was left, and they that were with him in the ark.
地上的人类、飞禽走兽和爬虫等一切活物都被毁灭了,只剩下挪亚和跟他同在方舟里的。
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
洪水淹没大地一百五十天。
