1Poi Dio si ricordò di Noè, di tutti gli animali e di tutto il bestiame che era con lui nell’arca; e Dio fece passare un vento sulla terra e le acque si calmarono;2le fonti dell’abisso e le cateratte del cielo furono chiuse, e cessò la pioggia dal cielo;3le acque andarono via via ritirandosi di sulla terra, e alla fine di centocinquanta giorni cominciarono a diminuire.4Nel settimo mese, il diciassettesimo giorno del mese, l’arca si fermò sulle montagne dell’Ararat[1].5Le acque andarono diminuendo fino al decimo mese. Nel decimo mese, il primo giorno del mese, apparvero le vette dei monti.6Dopo quaranta giorni Noè aprì la finestra che aveva fatta nell’arca7e mandò fuori il corvo, il quale uscì, andando e tornando, finché le acque furono prosciugate sulla terra.8Poi mandò fuori la colomba per vedere se le acque fossero diminuite sulla superficie della terra.9La colomba non trovò dove posare la pianta del suo piede e tornò a lui nell’arca, perché c’erano le acque sulla superficie di tutta la terra; ed egli stese la mano, la prese e la portò con sé dentro l’arca.10Aspettò altri sette giorni, poi mandò di nuovo la colomba fuori dell’arca.11E la colomba tornò da lui verso sera; ed ecco, aveva nel becco una foglia fresca d’ulivo. Così Noè capì che le acque erano diminuite sopra la terra.12Aspettò altri sette giorni, poi mandò fuori la colomba; ma essa non tornò più da lui.13L’anno seicentouno della vita di Noè, il primo mese, il primo giorno del mese, le acque erano asciugate sulla terra e Noè scoperchiò l’arca, guardò, ed ecco che la superficie del suolo era asciutta.14Il secondo mese, il ventisettesimo giorno del mese, la terra era asciutta.15Dio parlò allora a Noè dicendo:16«Esci dall’arca tu, tua moglie, i tuoi figli e le mogli dei tuoi figli con te.17Tutti gli animali che sono con te, di ogni specie, volatili, bestiame e tutti i rettili che strisciano sulla terra, falli uscire con te, perché possano disseminarsi sulla terra, siano fecondi e si moltiplichino su di essa».18Noè uscì con i suoi figli, con sua moglie e con le mogli dei suoi figli.19Tutti gli animali, tutti i rettili, tutti gli uccelli, tutto quello che si muove sulla terra, secondo le loro famiglie, uscirono dall’arca.20Noè costruì un altare al Signore; prese animali puri di ogni specie e uccelli puri di ogni specie e offrì olocausti sull’altare.21Il Signore sentì un odore soave; e il Signore disse in cuor suo: «Io non maledirò più la terra a motivo dell’uomo, poiché il cuore dell’uomo concepisce disegni malvagi fin dall’adolescenza; non colpirò più ogni essere vivente come ho fatto.22Finché la terra durerà, semina e raccolta, freddo e caldo, estate e inverno, giorno e notte non cesseranno mai».
1Und Gott gedachte des Noah und aller Tiere und alles Viehs, das mit ihm in der Arche war; und Gott ließ einen Wind über die Erde fahren, da sank das Wasser. (Gen 19,29; Eso 14,21; Giob 12,15; Sal 115,12; Is 44,27; Ger 50,38; Zac 10,11)2Und es schlossen sich die Quellen der Tiefe und die Fenster des Himmels, und der Regen vom Himmel her wurde zurückgehalten. (Gen 7,11)3Und das Wasser verlief sich von der Erde, allmählich zurückgehend; und das Wasser nahm ab nach Verlauf von 150 Tagen. (Gen 7,24)4Und im siebten Monat, am siebzehnten Tag des Monats, ließ sich die Arche auf dem Gebirge Ararat nieder. (2Re 19,37; Ger 51,27)5Und das Wasser nahm immer weiter ab bis zum zehnten Monat; im zehnten ⟨Monat⟩, am Ersten des Monats, wurden die Spitzen der Berge sichtbar.6Und es geschah am Ende von vierzig Tagen, da öffnete Noah das Fenster der Arche, das er gemacht hatte, und ließ den Raben hinaus;7und der flog aus, hin und her, bis das Wasser von der Erde vertrocknet war.8Und er ließ die Taube von sich hinaus, um zu sehen, ob das Wasser weniger geworden war auf der Fläche des Erdbodens;9aber die Taube fand keinen Ruheplatz für ihren Fuß und kehrte zu ihm in die Arche zurück; denn ⟨noch⟩ war Wasser auf der Fläche der ganzen Erde; da streckte er seine Hand aus, nahm sie und holte sie zu sich in die Arche.10Und er wartete noch sieben weitere Tage, dann ließ er die Taube noch einmal aus der Arche;11und die Taube kam um die Abendzeit zu ihm ⟨zurück⟩, und siehe, ein frisches Olivenblatt war in ihrem Schnabel. Da erkannte Noah, dass das Wasser auf der Erde weniger geworden war.12Und er wartete noch weitere sieben Tage und ließ die Taube hinaus; da kehrte sie nicht mehr wieder zu ihm zurück.13Und es geschah im 601. Jahr[1], im ersten ⟨Monat⟩, am Ersten des Monats, da war das Wasser von der Erde weggetrocknet. Und Noah entfernte das Dach[2] von der Arche und sah: und siehe, die Fläche des Erdbodens war trocken. (Gen 7,6)14Im zweiten Monat, am 27. Tag des Monats, war die Erde trocken.
Noahs Opfer – Gottes Verheißung
15Und Gott redete zu Noah und sprach:16Geh aus der Arche heraus, du und deine Frau und deine Söhne und die Frauen deiner Söhne mit dir!17Alle Tiere, die bei dir sind, von allem Fleisch, an Vögeln und an Vieh und an allen kriechenden Tieren, die auf der Erde kriechen, lass mit dir hinausgehen, dass sie wimmeln auf Erden und fruchtbar sind und sich mehren auf Erden! (Gen 1,22)18Da ging Noah hinaus, ⟨er⟩ und seine Söhne und seine Frau und die Frauen seiner Söhne mit ihm. (Gen 7,23)19Alle Tiere, alle kriechenden Tiere und alle Vögel, alles was kriecht auf der Erde nach ihren Arten, gingen aus der Arche. (Gen 9,10)20Und Noah baute dem HERRN einen Altar; und er nahm von allem reinen Vieh und von allen reinen Vögeln und opferte Brandopfer auf dem Altar. (Gen 7,2; Gen 12,7; Le 1,3)21Und der HERR roch den wohlgefälligen Geruch[3], und der HERR sprach in seinem Herzen: Nicht noch einmal will ich den Erdboden verfluchen wegen des Menschen; denn das Sinnen des menschlichen Herzens ist böse von seiner Jugend an; und nicht noch einmal will ich alles Lebendige schlagen, wie ich getan habe. (Gen 6,5; Gen 9,11; Le 1,9; 1Sam 26,19; Sal 58,4; Is 54,9; Mar 7,22; Ef 5,2)22Von nun an, alle Tage der Erde, sollen nicht aufhören Saat und Ernte, Frost und Hitze, Sommer und Winter, Tag und Nacht. (Ger 33,25)
1But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the waters subsided. (Gen 19,29; Gen 30,22; Eso 2,24; Eso 14,21; 1Sam 1,19)2The fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained, (Gen 7,11)3and the waters receded from the earth continually. At the end of 150 days the waters had abated, (Gen 7,24)4and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. (2Re 19,37; Is 37,38; Ger 51,27)5And the waters continued to abate until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.6At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made7and sent forth a raven. It went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth.8Then he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground.9But the dove found no place to set her foot, and she returned to him to the ark, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her and brought her into the ark with him.10He waited another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.11And the dove came back to him in the evening, and behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth.12Then he waited another seven days and sent forth the dove, and she did not return to him anymore.13In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried from off the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry.14In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth had dried out.15Then God said to Noah,16“Go out from the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons’ wives with you. (Gen 7,13)17Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh—birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth—that they may swarm on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.” (Gen 1,22; Gen 1,28; Gen 9,1)18So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him.19Every beast, every creeping thing, and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out by families from the ark.
God’s Covenant with Noah
20Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and took some of every clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.21And when the Lord smelled the pleasing aroma, the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again curse[1] the ground because of man, for the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done. (Gen 3,17; Gen 6,5; Gen 6,17; Gen 9,11; Gen 9,15; Eso 29,18; Eso 29,25; Eso 29,41; Le 1,9; Le 1,13; Le 1,17; Sal 58,3; Is 54,9; Ez 16,19; Ez 20,41; Mat 15,19; Ro 1,21; 2Co 2,15; Ef 5,2; Fili 4,18)22While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.” (Ger 5,24; Ger 33,20; Ger 33,25)
Genesi 8
King James Version
1And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;2The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;3And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.4And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.5And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month , on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.6And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:7And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.8Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;9But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.10And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;11And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.12And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.13And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month , the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.14And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.15And God spake unto Noah, saying,16Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons'wives with thee.17Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.18And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons'wives with him:19Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.20And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.21And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man' sake; for the imagination of man' heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.22While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
