Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.
1ΚΑΙ ἀνεμνήσθη ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ Νῶε καὶ πάντων τῶν θηρίων καὶ πάντων τῶν κτηνῶν καὶ πάντων τῶν πετεινῶν καὶ πάντων τῶν ἑρπετῶν τῶν ἑρπόντων, ὅσα ἦν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ κιβωτῷ, καὶ ἐπήγαγεν ὁ Θεὸς πνεῦμα ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἐκόπασε τὸ ὕδωρ,
2The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
2καὶ ἐπεκαλύφθησαν αἱ πηγαὶ τῆς ἀβύσσου καὶ οἱ καταρράκται τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ συνεσχέθη ὁ ὑετὸς ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.
3The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters receded.
3καὶ ἐνεδίδου τὸ ὕδωρ πορευόμενον ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἠλαττονοῦτο τὸ ὕδωρ μετὰ πεντήκοντα καὶ ἑκατὸν ἡμέρας.
4The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
4καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἡ κιβωτὸς ἐν μηνὶ τῷ ἑβδόμῳ, ἑβδόμῃ καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνός, ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη τὰ Ἀραράτ.
5The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible.
5τὸ δὲ ὕδωρ ἠλαττονοῦτο ἕως τοῦ δεκάτου μηνός· καὶ ἐν τῷ δεκάτῳ μηνί, τῇ πρώτῃ τοῦ μηνός, ὤφθησαν αἱ κεφαλαὶ τῶν ὀρέων.
6At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
6καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας ἠνέῳξε Νῶε τὴν θυρίδα τῆς κιβωτοῦ, ἣν ἐποίησε, καὶ ἀπέστειλε τὸν κόρακα τοῦ ἰδεῖν, εἰ κεκόπακε τὸ ὕδωρ·
7and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.
7καὶ ἐξελθών, οὐκ ἀνέστρεψεν ἕως τοῦ ξηρανθῆναι τὸ ὕδωρ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς.
8He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,
8καὶ ἀπέστειλε τὴν περιστερὰν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ἰδεῖν, εἰ κεκόπακε τὸ ὕδωρ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς.
9but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned into the ship to him, for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
9καὶ οὐχ εὑροῦσαι ἡ περιστερὰ ἀνάπαυσιν τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτῆς, ἀνέστρεψε πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν κιβωτόν, ὅτι ὕδωρ ἦν ἐπὶ πᾶν τὸ πρόσωπον τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα ἔλαβεν αὐτήν, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὴν πρὸς ἑαυτὸν εἰς τὴν κιβωτόν.
10He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
10καὶ ἐπισχὼν ἔτι ἡμέρας ἑπτὰ ἑτέρας, πάλιν ἐξαπέστειλε τὴν περιστερὰν ἐκ τῆς κιβωτοῦ·
11The dove came back to him at evening and, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.
11καὶ ἀνέστρεψε πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ περιστερὰ τὸ πρὸς ἑσπέραν, καὶ εἶχε φύλλον ἐλαίας κάρφος ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔγνω Νῶε ὅτι κεκόπακε τὸ ὕδωρ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς.
12He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.
12καὶ ἐπισχὼν ἔτι ἡμέρας ἑπτὰ ἑτέρας, πάλιν ἐξαπέστειλε τὴν περιστεράν, καὶ οὑ προσέθετο τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι πρὸς αὐτὸν ἔτι.
13In the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dry.
13καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἑνὶ καὶ ἑξακοσιοστῷ ἔτει ἐν τῇ ζωῇ τοῦ Νῶε, τοῦ πρώτου μηνός, μιᾷ τοῦ μηνός, ἐξέλιπε τὸ ὕδωρ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς· καὶ ἀπεκάλυψε Νῶε τὴν στέγην τῆς κιβωτοῦ, ἣν ἐποίησε, καὶ εἶδεν ὅτι ἐξέλιπε τὸ ὕδωρ ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς γῆς.
14In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
14ἐν δὲ τῷ δευτέρῳ μηνὶ ἐξηράνθη ἡ γῆ, ἑβδόμῃ καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνός.
15God spoke to Noah, saying,
15Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς Νῶε λέγων·
16“Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
16ἔξελθε ἐκ τῆς κιβωτοῦ, σὺ καὶ ἡ γυνή σου καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες τῶν υἱῶν σου μετὰ σοῦ
17Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.”
17καὶ πάντα τὰ θηρία, ὅσα ἐστὶ μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ πᾶσα σὰρξ ἀπὸ πετεινῶν ἕως κτηνῶν, καὶ πᾶν ἑρπετὸν κινούμενον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἐξάγαγε μετὰ σεαυτοῦ· καὶ αὐξάνεσθε καὶ πληθύνεσθε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
18Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.
18καὶ ἐξῆλθε Νῶε καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
19Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
19καὶ πάντα τὰ θηρία, καὶ πάντα τὰ κτήνη, καὶ πᾶν πετεινόν, καὶ πᾶν ἑρπετὸν κινούμενον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς κατὰ γένος αὐτῶν, ἐξήλθοσαν ἐκ τῆς κιβωτοῦ.
20Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
20καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε Νῶε θυσιαστήριον τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ ἔλαβεν ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν κτηνῶν τῶν καθαρῶν καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν πετεινῶν τῶν καθαρῶν καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν εἰς ὁλοκάρπωσιν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον.
21The LORD smelled the pleasant aroma. The LORD said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, as I have done.
21καὶ ὠσφράνθη Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας, καὶ εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς διανοηθείς· οὐ προσθήτω ἔτι καταράσασθαι τὴν γῆν διὰ τὰ ἔργα τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὅτι ἔγκειται ἡ διάνοια τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐπιμελῶς ἐπὶ τὰ πονηρὰ ἐκ νεότητος αὐτοῦ· οὐ προσθήσω οὖν ἔτι πατάξαι πᾶσαν σάρκα ζῶσαν, καθὼς ἐποίησα.
22While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”
22πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς γῆς, σπέρμα καὶ θερισμός, ψῦχος καὶ καῦμα, θέρος καὶ ἔαρ, ἡμέραν καὶ νύκτα οὐ καταπαύσουσι.
