Liber Genesis, 7
1. Dixitque Dominus ad Noe: “Ingredere tu et omnis domus tua arcam; te enim vidi iustum coram me in generatione hac.
1. Then the LORD said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation.
2. Ex omnibus pecoribus mundis tolle septena septena, masculum et feminam; de pecoribus vero non mundis duo duo, masculum et feminam.
2. Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and his mate; and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate;
3. Sed et de volatilibus caeli septena septena, masculum et feminam, ut salvetur semen super faciem universae terrae.
3. and seven pairs of the birds of the air also, male and female, to keep their kind alive upon 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 terrae”.
4. For in seven days I will send rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made I will blot out from the face of the ground."
5. Fecit ergo Noe omnia, quae mandaverat ei Dominus.
5. And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.
6. Eratque Noe sescentorum annorum, quando diluvii aquae inundaverunt super terram.
6. Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth.
7. Et ingressus est Noe et filii eius, uxor eius et uxores filiorum eius cum eo in arcam propter aquas diluvii.
7. And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him went into the ark, to escape the waters of the flood.
8. De pecoribus mundis et immundis et de volucribus et ex omni, quod movetur super terram,
8. Of clean animals, and of animals that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground,
9. duo et duo ingressa sunt ad Noe in arcam, masculus et femina, sicut praeceperat Deus Noe.
9. two and two, male and female, went into the ark with Noah, as God had commanded Noah.
10. Cumque transissent septem dies, aquae diluvii inundaverunt super terram.
10. And after seven days the waters of the flood came upon the earth.
11. Anno sescentesimo vitae Noe, mense secundo, septimo decimo die mensis rupti sunt omnes fontes abyssi magnae, et cataractae caeli apertae sunt;
11. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened.
12. et facta est pluvia super terram quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus.
12. And rain fell upon 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.
13. On the very same day Noah and his sons, Shem and Ham and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them entered the ark,
14. Ipsi et omne animal secundum genus suum, universaque iumenta in genere suo, et omne reptile, quod movetur super terram in genere suo, cunctumque volatile secundum genus suum, universae aves omnesque volucres
14. they and every beast according to its kind, and all the cattle according to their kinds, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth according to its kind, and every bird according to its kind, every bird of every sort.
15. ingressae sunt ad Noe in arcam, bina et bina ex omni carne, in qua erat spiritus vitae.
15. They went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life.
16. Et quae ingressa sunt, masculus et femina ex omni carne introierunt, sicut praeceperat ei Deus; et inclusit eum Dominus de foris.
16. And they that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him; and the LORD shut him in.
17. Factumque est diluvium quadraginta diebus super terram, et multiplicatae sunt aquae et elevaverunt arcam in sublime a terra.
17. The flood continued forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bore up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.
18. Vehementer enim inundaverunt et omnia repleverunt in superficie terrae; porro arca ferebatur super aquas.
18. The waters prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark floated on the face of the waters.
19. Et aquae praevaluerunt nimis super terram, opertique sunt omnes montes excelsi sub universo caelo.
19. And the waters prevailed so mightily upon the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered;
20. Quindecim cubitis altior fuit aqua super montes, quos operuerat.
20. the waters prevailed above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits deep.
21. Consumptaque est omnis caro, quae movebatur super terram, volucrum, pecorum, bestiarum omniumque reptilium, quae reptant super terram, et universi homines:
21. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, birds, cattle, beasts, all swarming creatures that swarm upon the earth, and every man;
22. cuncta, in quibus spiraculum vitae in terra, mortua sunt.
22. everything on the dry land in whose nostrils was the breath of life died.
23. Et delevit omnem substantiam, quae erat super terram, ab homine usque ad pecus, usque ad reptile et usque ad volucres caeli; et deleta sunt de terra. Remansit autem solus Noe et qui cum eo erant in arca.
23. He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the ground, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the air; they were blotted out from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those that were with him in the ark.
24. Obtinueruntque aquae terram centum quinquaginta diebus.
24. And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
