창세기 8

1하나님이 노아와 그와 함께 방주에 있는 모든 들짐승과 육축을 권념하사 바람으로 땅 위에 불게 하시매 물이 감하였고 2깊음의 샘과 하늘의 창이 막히고 하늘에서 비가 그치매 3물이 땅에서 물러가고 점점 물러가서 일백오십일 후에 감하고 4칠월 곧 그 달 십칠일에 방주가 아라랏 산에 머물렀으며 5물이 점점 감하여 시월 곧 그 달 일일에 산들의 봉우리가 보였더라 6사십 일을 지나서 노아가 그 방주에 지은 창을 열고 7까마귀를 내어 놓으매 까마귀가 물이 땅에서 마르기까지 날아 왕래하였더라 8그가 또 비둘기를 내어 놓아 지면에 물이 감한 여부를 알고자 하매 9온 지면에 물이 있으므로 비둘기가 접족할 곳을 찾지 못하고 방주로 돌아와 그에게로 오는지라 그가 손을 내밀어 방주 속 자기에게로 받아 들이고 10또 칠 일을 기다려 다시 비둘기를 방주에서 내어 놓으매 11저녁때에 비둘기가 그에게로 돌아왔는데 그 입에 감람 새 잎사귀가 있는지라 이에 노아가 땅에 물이 감한 줄 알았으며 12또 칠 일을 기다려 비둘기를 내어 놓으매 다시는 그에게로 돌아오지 아니하였더라 13육백일년 정월 곧 그 달 일일에 지면에 물이 걷힌지라 노아가 방주 뚜껑을 제치고 본즉 지면에 물이 걷혔더니 14이월 이십칠일에 땅이 말랐더라 15하나님이 노아에게 말씀하여 가라사대 16너는 네 아내와 네 아들들과 네 자부들로 더불어 방주에서 나오고 17너와 함께 한 모든 혈육 있는 생물 곧 새와 육축과 땅에 기는 모든 것을 다 이끌어내라 이것들이 땅에서 생육하고 땅에서 번성하리라 하시매 18노아가 그 아들들과 그 아내와 그 자부들과 함께 나왔고 19땅 위의 동물 곧 모든 짐승과 모든 기는 것과 모든 새도 그 종류대로 방주에서 나왔더라 20노아가 여호와를 위하여 단을 쌓고 모든 정결한 짐승 중에서와 모든 정결한 새 중에서 취하여 번제로 단에 드렸더니 21여호와께서 그 향기를 흠향하시고 그 중심에 이르시되 내가 다시는 사람으로 인하여 땅을 저주하지 아니하리니 이는 사람의 마음의 계획하는 바가 어려서부터 악함이라 내가 전에 행한 것 같이 모든 생물을 멸하지 아니하리니 22땅이 있을 동안에는 심음과 거둠과 추위와 더위와 여름과 겨울과 낮과 밤이 쉬지 아니하리라

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. 2The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained. 3The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters decreased. 4The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains. 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. 6At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made, 7and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth. 8He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground, 9but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ship, 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. 10He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship. 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. 12He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him anymore. 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 dried. 14In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry. 15God spoke to Noah, saying, 16“Go out of the ship, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons’ wives with you. 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 in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.” 18Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him. 19Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship. 20Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21Yahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh 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; neither will I ever again strike every living thing, as I have done. 22While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”

1En God gedacht aan Noach, en aan al het gedierte, en aan al het vee, dat met hem in de ark was; en God deed een wind over de aarde doorgaan, en de wateren werden stil. 2Ook werden de fonteinen des afgronds, en de sluizen des hemels gesloten, en de plasregen van den hemel werd opgehouden. 3Daartoe keerden de wateren weder van boven de aarde, heen en weder vloeiende, en de wateren namen af ten einde van honderd en vijftig dagen. 4En de ark rustte in de zevende maand, op den zeventiende dag der maand, op de bergen van Ararat. 5En de wateren waren gaande, en afnemende tot de tiende maand; in de tiende maand, op den eerste der maand, werden de toppen der bergen gezien. 6En het geschiedde, ten einde van veertig dagen, dat Noach het venster der ark, die hij gemaakt had, opendeed. 7En hij liet een raaf uit, die dikwijls heen en weder ging, totdat de wateren van boven de aarde verdroogd waren. 8Daarna liet hij een duif van zich uit, om te zien, of de wateren gelicht waren van boven den aardbodem. 9Maar de duif vond geen rust voor het hol van haar voet; zo keerde zij weder tot hem in de ark; want de wateren waren op de ganse aarde; en hij stak zijn hand uit, en nam haar, en bracht haar tot zich in de ark. 10En hij verbeidde nog zeven andere dagen; toen liet hij de duif wederom uit de ark. 11En de duif kwam tot hem tegen den avondtijd; en ziet, een afgebroken olijfblad was in haar bek; zo merkte Noach, dat de wateren van boven de aarde gelicht waren. 12Toen vertoefde hij nog zeven andere dagen; en hij liet de duif uit; maar zij keerde niet meer weder tot hem. 13En het geschiedde in het zeshonderd en eerste jaar, in de eerste maand, op den eersten derzelver maand, dat de wateren droogden van boven de aarde; toen deed Noach het deksel der ark af, en zag toe, en ziet, de aardbodem was gedroogd. 14En in de tweede maand, op den zeven en twintigsten dag der maand, was de aarde opgedroogd. 15Toen sprak God tot Noach, zeggende: 16Ga uit de ark, gij, en uw huisvrouw, en uw zonen, en de vrouwen uwer zonen met u. 17Al het gedierte, dat met u is, van alle vlees, aan gevogelte, en aan vee, en aan al het kruipend gedierte, dat op de aarde kruipt, doe met u uitgaan; en dat zij overvloediglijk voorttelen op de aarde, en vruchtbaar zijn, en vermenigvuldigen op de aarde. 18Toen ging Noach uit, en zijn zonen, en zijn huisvrouw, en de vrouwen zijner zonen met hem. 19Al het gedierte, al het kruipende, en al het gevogelte, al wat zich op de aarde roert, naar hun geslachten, gingen uit de ark. 20En Noach bouwde den HEERE een altaar; en hij nam van al het reine vee, en van al het rein gevogelte, en offerde brandofferen op dat altaar. 21En de HEERE rook dien liefelijken reuk, en de HEERE zeide in Zijn hart: Ik zal voortaan den aardbodem niet meer vervloeken om des mensen wil; want het gedichtsel van 's mensen hart is boos van zijn jeugd aan; en Ik zal voortaan niet meer al het levende slaan, gelijk als Ik gedaan heb. 22Voortaan al de dagen der aarde zullen zaaiing en oogst, en koude en hitte, en zomer en winter, en dag en nacht, niet ophouden.
