Genesis 7

1 Dixitque Dominus ad eum: Ingredere tu, et omnis domus tua in arcam: te enim vidi iustum coram me in generatione hac.

And Yahweh said to Noah, Enter thou and all thy house, into the ark, —for, thee, have I seen righteous before me, in this generation.

2 Ex omnibus animantibus mundis tolle septena et septena, masculum et feminam: de animantibus vero immundis duo et duo, masculum et feminam.

Of all the clean beasts, shalt thou take to thee by sevens, a male and his female, —and, of the beasts that are not clean, shall be two a male and his female.

3 Sed et de volatilibus cæli septena et septena, masculum et feminam: ut salvetur semen super faciem universæ terræ.

Also of the bird of the heavens, by sevens, male and female, —to keep alive a seed on the face of all the earth.

4 Adhuc enim, et post dies septem ego pluam super terram quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus: et delebo omnem substantiam, quam feci, de superficie terræ.

For in seven days more, I, am sending rain on the earth, forty days and forty nights, —so will I wipe out all the living things which I have made, from off the face of the ground.

5 Fecit ergo Noe omnia, quæ mandaverat ei Dominus.

And Noah did, —according to all that Yahweh commanded him.

6 Eratque sexcentorum annorum quando diluvii aquæ inundaverunt super terram.

Now, Noah, was six hundred years old, —when, the flood, came, even waters on the earth.

7 Et ingressus est Noe et filii eius, uxor eius et uxores filiorum eius cum eo in arcam propter aquas diluvii.

So Noah entered, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him into the ark, —from before the waters of the flood,

8 De animantibus quoque mundis et immundis, et de volucribus, et ex omni, quod movetur super terram,

Of the beasts that were clean, and of the beasts that were not clean, —and of the birds, and everything that creepeth on the ground,

9 duo et duo ingressa sunt ad Noe in arcam, masculus et femina, sicut præceperat Dominus Noe.

two and two, went they in unto Noah, into the ark male and female, —as God commanded Noah.

10 Cumque transissent septem dies, aquæ diluvii inundaverunt super terram.

And it came to pass, in the seven days, —that the waters of the flood, came on the earth.

11 Anno sexcentesimo vitæ Noe, mense secundo, septimodecimo die mensis, rupti sunt omnes fontes abyssi magnæ, et cataractæ cæli apertæ sunt:

In the six hundredth year, the year of the life of Noah. in the second month on the seventeenth day of the month on this day, were burst open all the fountains of the great roaring deep, and the windows of the heavens, were set open.

12 et facta est pluvia super terram quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus.

(And it came to pass that the heavy rain was on the earth, —forty days and forty nights.)

13 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:

On this selfsame day, entered Noah, and Shem and Ham and Japheth. Noah’s sons, —and Noah’s wife, and his sons’ three wives with them into the ark:

14 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

they, and all the wild-beasts after their kind and all the tame-beasts after their kind, and all the creeping things that creep on the earth after their kind, —and all the birds after their kind, every bird of every wing.

15 ingressæ sunt ad Noe in arcam, bina et bina ex omni carne, in qua erat spiritus vitæ.

So they entered in unto Noah, into the ark, —two and two of all flesh, wherein was the spirit of life.

16 Et quæ ingressa sunt, masculus et femina ex omni carne introierunt, sicut præceperat ei Deus: et inclusit eum Dominus deforis.

And, they that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered, as God commanded him, —and Yahweh shut him in round about.

17 Factumque est diluvium quadraginta diebus super terram: et multiplicatæ sunt aquæ, et elevaverunt arcam in sublime a terra.

And it came to pass, that the flood was forty days on the earth, —and the waters increased and bare up the ark, and it was lifted high above the earth,

18 Vehementer enim inundaverunt: et omnia repleverunt in superficie terræ: porro arca ferebatur super aquas.

And the waters prevailed and increased greatly, on the earth, —and the ark went its way on the face of the waters.

19 Et aquæ prævaluerunt nimis super terram: opertique sunt omnes montes excelsi sub universo cælo.

Yea the waters, prevailed very greatly, on the earth, —so that all the high mountains became covered, that were under all the heavens:

20 Quindecim cubitis altior fuit aqua super montes, quos operuerat.

fifteen cubits upwards, prevailed the waters, so that the mountains became covered.

21 Consumptaque est omnis caro quæ movebatur super terram, volucrum, animantium, bestiarum, omniumque reptilium, quæ reptant super terram: universi homines,

And all flesh ceased to breathe that moved on the earth, of birds and of tame-beasts and of wild-beasts, and of all the swarming things that swarm on the earth, —and all mankind.

22 et cuncta, in quibus spiraculum vitæ est in terra, mortua sunt.

All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life of all that were on the dry ground died.

23 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.

Thus was wiped out all that existed on the face of the ground, from man unto beast unto creeping thing, and unto the bird of the heavens, thus were they wiped out from the earth, —so that there was left—only Noah and they that were with him in the ark.

24 Obtinueruntque aquæ terram centum quinquaginta diebus.

Thus prevailed the waters on the earth, —a hundred and fifty days.
