King James Version with Apocrypha
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
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;
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。
2The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
2淵源和天上的窗戶都閉塞了，天上的大雨也止住了。
3And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
3水從地上漸退。過了一百五十天，水就漸消。
4And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
4七月十七日，方舟停在 亞拉臘山 上。
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.
5水又漸消，到十月初一日，山頂都現出來了。
6¶ And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
6過了四十天， 挪亞 開了方舟的窗戶，
7And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
7放出一隻烏鴉去；那烏鴉飛來飛去，直到地上的水都乾了。
8Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
8他又放出一隻鴿子去，要看看水從地上退了沒有。
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.
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。
10And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
10他又等了七天，再把鴿子從方舟放出去。
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.
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。
12And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
12他又等了七天，放出鴿子去，鴿子就不再回來了。
13¶ And 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.
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。
14And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
14到了二月二十七日，地就都乾了。
15¶ And God spake unto Noah, saying,
15上帝對 挪亞 說：
16Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
16「你和你的妻子、兒子、兒婦都可以出方舟。
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.
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。」
18And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:
18於是 挪亞 和他的妻子、兒子、兒婦都出來了。
19Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
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。
20¶ And 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.
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。
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’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
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。
22While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
22地還存留的時候，稼穡、寒暑、冬夏、晝夜就永不停息了。」
