1And 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.2Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.3Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.4For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.5And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.6And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.7And 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.8Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,9There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.10And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.11In the six hundredth year of Noah' life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.12And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.13In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah' wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;14They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.15And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.16And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.17And 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.18And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.19And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.20Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.21And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:22All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land , died.23And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive , and they that were with him in the ark.24And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
Genesis 7
Nya Levande Bibeln
from Biblica1Slutligen kom den dag då Herren sa till Noa: "Gå in i båten med hela din familj, för bland alla människor på jorden är det bara du som jag anser som rättfärdig.2Ta med dig djuren också, ett par av varje art. Men när det gäller de djur som jag har utvalt att använda till mat och offer, ska du ta sju par av varje3och sju par av varje slags fågel. På så sätt kommer allt skapat att bevaras och föröka sig på nytt, efter översvämningen.4Om en vecka ska jag sända ett regn som kommer att hålla på i fyrtio dagar och fyrtio nätter, och alla djur och fåglar och kräldjur, som jag har skapat, kommer att dö."5Noa gjorde därför som Herren hade befallt honom.6Han var 600 år när översvämningen kom.7Han gick ombord på båten med sin hustru, sina söner och deras hustrur, för att fly undan översvämningen.8-9Tillsammans med dem fanns alla djur, både de som kunde ätas och offras, och de som inte var avsedda för detta, och alla fåglar och kräldjur. De kom in i båten parvis, hanar och honor, precis som Gud hade befallt Noa.10-12En vecka senare, när Noa var 600 år, två månader och sjutton dagar gammal, började regnet komma i skyfall från himlen. Vatten från underjordiska källor vällde fram ur jorden under fyrtio dygn.13Men Noa hade samma dag gått in i båten med sin hustru och sina söner Sem, Ham och Jafet och deras hustrur.14-15Tillsammans med dem i båten fanns par av varje djurart, husdjur och vilda djur, dessutom kräldjur och fåglar av varje art.16De kom parvis, hane och hona, precis som Gud hade befallt. Sedan stängde Herren Gud dörren efter dem.17Under fyrtio dagar brusade vattenmassorna fram. De täckte marken och lyfte båten högt ovanför jorden.18Vattnet steg högre och högre, men båten flöt tryggt.19-20Slutligen täckte vattnet alla berg och stod flera meter över de högsta topparna.21Jordens alla levande varelser drunknade, fåglar, husdjur, vilda djur, kräldjur och hela mänskligheten.22Allt som andades och levde på torra land,23ja, allt liv på jorden utplånades. Gud förgjorde dem allesammans och lät bara Noa och dem som var med honom i båten leva.24Vattnet täckte jorden i 150 dagar.
