1 And 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; 2 The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; 3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 5 And 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.
6 ¶ And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: 7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 9 But 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. 10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; 11 And 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. 12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
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. 14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
15 ¶ And God spake unto Noah, saying, 16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee. 17 Bring 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. 18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him: 19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
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. 21 And 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. 22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
1 Tad Dievs atcerējās Nou, kā arī visus zvērus un visus lopus, kas bija ar viņu šķirstā. Un Dievs lika vējam pūst pār zemi, tad ūdeņi kritās. 2 Dzelmju avoti un debesu logi aizvērās, un lietus mitējās līt no debesīm. 3 Un ūdeņi sāka kristies pēc simts piecdesmit dienām, šurpu turpu noskriedami. 4 Un šķirsts septītā mēneša septiņpadsmitajā dienā nolaidās uz Ararata kalniem. 5 Un ūdeņi notecēja, šurp un turp bēgot, līdz desmitajam mēnesim. Bet desmitā mēneša pirmajā dienā nāca redzamas kalnu virsotnes. 6 Un pēc četrdesmit dienām Noa atvēra šķirsta logu, ko bija taisījis, 7 un izlaida kraukli. Tas laidās, šurp un turp lidinādamies, kamēr ūdeņi nokritās zemes virsū. 8 Tad viņš izlaida balodi no to vidus, kas bija ar viņu šķirstā, lai vērotu, vai ūdeņi nav noskrējuši zemes virsū. 9 Bet balodis neatrada vietu, kur apmesties, un atgriezās šķirstā pie viņa, jo ūdeņi vēl bija pār visu zemi. Viņš izstiepa savu roku, satvēra to un ienesa pie sevis šķirstā. 10 Un viņš gaidīja vēl septiņas dienas un pēc tam atkal izlaida balodi no šķirsta. 11 Tad balodis atgriezās tā ap vakara laiku, un redzi, noplūkta olīvas lapa bija viņa knābī, un Noa tūdaļ noprata, ka ūdeņi zemes virsū bija noskrējuši. 12 Tad viņš gaidīja vēl nākošās septiņas dienas un izlaida balodi, bet tas vairs neatgriezās pie viņa. 13 Un notika seši simti pirmajā gadā, pirmā mēneša pirmajā dienā, ka ūdeņi bija izsīkuši zemes virsū; tad Noa noņēma šķirsta jumtu un redzēja, ka zemes virsa bija apžuvusi. 14 Otrā mēneša divdesmit septītajā dienā zeme bija nožuvusi. 15 Un Dievs teica uz Nou: 16 "Izej no šķirsta, tu un tava sieva, tavi dēli un tavas vedeklas līdz ar tevi. 17 Un visi dzīvie radījumi, kas ir ar tevi, ikviena radība: putni, lopi, rāpuļi, kas rāpo pa zemi, lai iznāk līdz ar tevi ārā un lai piepilda zemi lieliem pulkiem un augļojas un vairojas zemes virsū." 18 Tad Noa izgāja un viņa dēli, viņa sieva un viņa vedeklas kopā ar viņu. 19 Un visi zvēri, visi rāpuļi un visi putni, viss, kas vien kust virs zemes, pēc viņu sugām iznāca no šķirsta. 20 Un Noa uzcēla Tam Kungam altāri un ņēma no ikviena šķīsta lopa un no ikviena šķīsta putna un upurēja dedzināmo upuri uz altāra. 21 Kad Tas Kungs oda patīkamo smaržu, Viņš sacīja Savā sirdī: Es turpmāk vairs nenolādēšu zemi cilvēka dēļ, jo cilvēka sirds tieksmes ir ļaunas no mazām dienām, un Es arī turpmāk vairs neiznīcināšu visu dzīvo, kā Es to esmu darījis. 22 Kamēr būs dienas virs zemes, nemitēsies sēšana un pļaušana, aukstums un karstums, vasara un ziema, diena un nakts.
