創世記 8
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1上帝記念 挪亞 和 挪亞 方舟裏的一切走獸牲畜。上帝叫風吹地，水勢漸落。
1But God remembered Noah and all the animals and livestock that were with him in the ark. And God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters began to subside.
2淵源和天上的窗戶都閉塞了，天上的大雨也止住了。
2The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3水從地上漸退。過了一百五十天，水就漸消。
3The waters receded steadily from the earth, and after 150 days the waters had gone down.
4七月十七日，方舟停在 亞拉臘山 上。
4On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
5水又漸消，到十月初一日，山頂都現出來了。
5And the waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.
6過了四十天， 挪亞 開了方舟的窗戶，
6After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark
7放出一隻烏鴉去；那烏鴉飛來飛去，直到地上的水都乾了。
7and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.
8他又放出一隻鴿子去，要看看水從地上退了沒有。
8Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.
9但遍地上都是水，鴿子找不着落腳之地，就回到方舟 挪亞 那裏， 挪亞 伸手把鴿子接進方舟來。
9But the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, because the waters were still covering the surface of all the earth. So he reached out his hand and brought her back inside the ark.
10他又等了七天，再把鴿子從方舟放出去。
10Noah waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.
11到了晚上，鴿子回到他那裏，嘴裏叼着一個新擰下來的橄欖葉子， 挪亞 就知道地上的水退了。
11And behold, the dove returned to him in the evening with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her beak. So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.
12他又等了七天，放出鴿子去，鴿子就不再回來了。
12And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.
13到 挪亞 六百零一歲，正月初一日，地上的水都乾了。 挪亞 撤去方舟的蓋觀看，便見地面上乾了。
13In Noah’s six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters had dried up from the earth. So Noah removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.
14到了二月二十七日，地就都乾了。
14By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.
15上帝對 挪亞 說：
15Then God said to Noah,
16「你和你的妻子、兒子、兒婦都可以出方舟。
16“Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.
17在你那裏凡有血肉的活物，就是飛鳥、牲畜，和一切爬在地上的昆蟲，都要帶出來，叫牠在地上多多滋生，大大興旺。」
17Bring out all the living creatures that are with you—birds, livestock, and everything that crawls upon the ground—so that they can spread out over the earth and be fruitful and multiply upon it.”
18於是 挪亞 和他的妻子、兒子、兒婦都出來了。
18So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.
19一切走獸、昆蟲、飛鳥，和地上所有的動物，各從其類，也都出了方舟。
19Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird—everything that moves upon the earth—came out of the ark, kind by kind.
20挪亞 為耶和華築了一座壇，拿各類潔淨的牲畜、飛鳥獻在壇上為燔祭。
20Then Noah built an altar to the LORD. And taking from every kind of clean animal and clean bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21耶和華聞那馨香之氣，就心裏說：「我不再因人的緣故咒詛地（人從小時心裏懷着惡念），也不再按着我才行的滅各種的活物了。
21When the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, He said in His heart, “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth. And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done.
22地還存留的時候，稼穡、寒暑、冬夏、晝夜就永不停息了。」
22As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.”
