Berean Standard Bible
1Recordatus autem Deus Noë, cunctorumque animantium, et omnium jumentorum, quæ erant cum eo in arca, adduxit spiritum super terram, et imminutæ sunt aquæ.
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.
2Et clausi sunt fontes abyssi, et cataractæ cæli: et prohibitæ sunt pluviæ de cælo.
2The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3Reversæque sunt aquæ de terra euntes et redeuntes: et cœperunt minui post centum quinquaginta dies.
3The waters receded steadily from the earth, and after 150 days the waters had gone down.
4Requievitque arca mense septimo, vigesimo septimo die mensis, super montes Armeniæ.
4On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
5At vero aquæ ibant et decrescebant usque ad decimum mensem: decimo enim mense, primo die mensis, apparuerunt cacumina montium.
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.
6Cumque transissent quadraginta dies, aperiens Noë fenestram arcæ, quam fecerat, dimisit corvum,
6After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark
7qui egrediebatur, et non revertebatur, donec siccarentur aquæ super terram.
7and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.
8Emisit quoque columbam post eum, ut videret si jam cessassent aquæ super faciem terræ.
8Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.
9Quæ cum non invenisset ubi requiesceret pes ejus, reversa est ad eum in arcam: aquæ enim erant super universam terram: extenditque manum, et apprehensam intulit in arcam.
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.
10Expectatis autem ultra septem diebus aliis, rursum dimisit columbam ex arca.
10Noah waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.
11At illa venit ad eum ad vesperam, portans ramum olivæ virentibus foliis in ore suo: intellexit ergo Noë quod cessassent aquæ super terram.
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.
12Expectavitque nihilominus septem alios dies: et emisit columbam, quæ non est reversa ultra ad eum.
12And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.
13Igitur sexcentesimo primo anno, primo mense, prima die mensis, imminutæ sunt aquæ super terram: et aperiens Noë tectum arcæ, aspexit, viditque quod exsiccata esset superficies terræ.
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.
14Mense secundo, septimo et vigesimo die mensis arefacta est terra.
14By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.
15Locutus est autem Deus ad Noë, dicens:
15Then God said to Noah,
16Egredere de arca, tu et uxor tua, filii tui et uxores filiorum tuorum tecum.
16“Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.
17Cuncta animantia, quæ sunt apud te, ex omni carne, tam in volatilibus quam in bestiis et universis reptilibus, quæ reptant super terram, educ tecum, et ingredimini super terram: crescite et multiplicamini super eam.
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.”
18Egressus est ergo Noë, et filii ejus: uxor illius, et uxores filiorum ejus cum eo.
18So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.
19Sed et omnia animantia, jumenta, et reptilia quæ reptant super terram, secundum genus suum, egressa sunt de arca.
19Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird—everything that moves upon the earth—came out of the ark, kind by kind.
20Ædificavit autem Noë altare Domino: et tollens de cunctis pecoribus et volucribus mundis, obtulit holocausta super altare.
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.
21Odoratusque est Dominus odorem suavitatis, et ait: Nequaquam ultra maledicam terræ propter homines: sensus enim et cogitatio humani cordis in malum prona sunt ab adolescentia sua: non igitur ultra percutiam omnem animam viventem sicut feci.
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.
22Cunctis diebus terræ, sementis et messis, frigus et æstus, æstas et hiems, nox et dies non requiescent.
22As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.”
