Genesis 7

The Flood

God's Command & Provision

Genesis 7 illustration: God's Command & Provision

1 Then the Lord said to Noah, "Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this generation. 2 You shall take with you seven pairs of every clean animal, a male and his female; and two of the animals that are not clean, a male and his female; 3 also of the birds of the sky, seven pairs, male and female, to keep their offspring alive on the face of all the earth. 4 For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights; and I will wipe out from the face of the land every living thing that I have made." 5 So Noah acted in accordance with everything that the Lord had commanded him. 6 Now Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of water came upon the earth.

1 耶和華對挪亞說,你和你的全家都要進入方舟,因為在這世代中,我見你在我面前是義人。2 凡潔淨的畜類,你要帶七公七母,不潔淨的畜類,你要帶一公一母,3 空中的飛鳥,也要帶七公七母,可以留種,活在全地上,4 因為再過七天,我要降雨在地上四十晝夜,把我所造的各種活物,都從地上除滅。5 挪亞就遵著耶和華所吩咐的行了。6 當洪水氾濫在地上的時候,挪亞整六百歲。

Noah Enters the Ark

7 Then Noah and his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him entered the ark because of the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean animals and animals that are not clean and birds and everything that crawls on the ground, 9 they all went into the ark to Noah by twos, male and female, as God had commanded Noah. 10 Now it came about after the seven days, that the waters of the flood came upon the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened. 12 The rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.

7 挪亞就同他的妻、和兒子、兒婦,都進入方舟,躲避洪水。8 潔淨的畜類、和不潔淨的畜類、飛鳥並地上一切的昆蟲,9 都是一對一對的,有公有母,到挪亞那裡進入方舟,正如神所吩咐挪亞的。10 過了那七天,洪水氾濫在地上。11 當挪亞六百歲,二月十七日那一天,大淵的泉源,都裂開了,天上的窗戶,也敞開了。12 四十晝夜降大雨在地上。

13 On this very same day Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark, 14 they and every animal according to its kind, and all the livestock according to their kind, and every crawling thing that crawls on the earth according to its kind, and every bird according to its kind, all sorts of birds. 15 So they went into the ark to Noah, by twos of all flesh in which there was the breath of life. 16 Those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and the Lord closed the door behind him. 17 Then the flood came upon the earth for forty days, and the water increased and lifted up the ark, so that it rose above the earth. 18 The water prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water.

13 正當那日,挪亞和他三個兒子、閃、含、雅弗、並挪亞的妻子、和三個兒婦,都進入方舟。14 他們和百獸,各從其類,一切牲畜,各從其類,爬在地上的昆蟲,各從其類,一切禽鳥,各從其類,都進入方舟。15 凡有血肉,有氣息的活物,都一對一對的到挪亞那裡,進入方舟。16 凡有血肉進入方舟的,都是有公有母,正如神所吩咐挪亞的,耶和華就把他關在方舟裡頭。17 洪水氾濫在地上四十天,水往上長,把方舟從地上漂起。18 水勢浩大,在地上大大的往上長,方舟在水面上漂來漂去。

The Flood Prevails

19 And the water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains everywhere under the heavens were covered. 20 The water prevailed fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered. 21 So all creatures that moved on the earth perished: birds, livestock, animals, and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind; 22 of all that was on the dry land, all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died. 23 So He wiped out every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from mankind to animals, to crawling things, and the birds of the sky, and they were wiped out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark. 24 The water prevailed upon the earth for 150 days.

19 水勢在地上極其浩大,天下的高山都淹沒了。20 水勢比山高過十五肘,山嶺都淹沒了。21 凡在地上有血肉的動物,就是飛鳥、牲畜、走獸、和爬在地上的昆蟲、以及所有的人,都死了。22 凡在旱地上,鼻孔有氣息的生靈都死了。23 凡地上各類的活物,連人帶牲畜、昆蟲、以及空中的飛鳥,都從地上除滅了,只留下挪亞和那些與他同在方舟裡的。24 水勢浩大,在地上共一百五十天。
