1 Un Tas Kungs sacīja Noam: "Ej šķirstā, tu un viss tavs nams, jo Es esmu vērojis, ka tu esi Manā priekšā taisns šinī ciltī. 2 No visiem šķīstiem lopiem ņem sev līdzi pa septiņiem; tēviņu un mātīti, bet no lopiem, kas nav šķīsti, ņem divus, tēviņu un mātīti. 3 Arī no putniem ņem pa septiņi, tēviņu un mātīti, lai tie būtu par sēklu zemes virsū. 4 Jo pēc septiņām dienām Es likšu lietum līt virs zemes četrdesmit dienas un četrdesmit naktis, un Es iznīcināšu no zemes virsus visu dzīvo, ko Es biju radījis." 5 Un Noa darīja visu, kā Tas Kungs to bija sacījis. 6 Un Noa bija seši simti gadus vecs, kad ūdensplūdi sākās zemes virsū. 7 Tad Noa iegāja šķirstā un viņa dēli, un viņa sieva, un viņa vedeklas kopā ar viņu, glābdamies no ūdensplūdiem. 8 No šķīstiem lopiem un no tiem lopiem, kas nav šķīsti, un no visiem putniem un rāpuļiem zemes virsū 9 pa divi līdz ar Nou iegāja šķirstā, tēviņš un mātīte, gluži kā Dievs Noam bija pavēlējis. 10 Un notika, ka septītajā dienā ūdeņi sāka pārplūdināt zemi. 11 Seši simtajā Noas mūža gadā, otrā mēnesī un septiņpadsmitajā mēneša dienā, tieši tanī dienā, pārplūda lielo dzelmju avoti un tika atvērti debesu logi. 12 Un lietus lija pār zemi četrdesmit dienas un četrdesmit naktis. 13 Tanī pat dienā Noa iegāja šķirstā un Šems, Hams un Jafets, Noas dēli, kā arī Noas sieva un trīs Noas vedeklas līdz ar viņiem, 14 paši un visi zvēri pēc to kārtas, visi lopi pēc to kārtas, visi rāpuļi, kas rāpo pa zemi, pēc to kārtas, visi putni pēc to kārtas un spārnotie dzīvnieki,- 15 tie visi iegāja pie Noas šķirstā, pa divi no katras radības, kurā mīt dzīvības dvaša. 16 No visiem, kas iegāja šķirstā, bija tēviņš un mātīte, un tie iegāja, kā Dievs bija pavēlējis. Pēc tam Tas Kungs aizdarīja šķirstu aiz viņiem. 17 Un ūdensplūdi turpinājās četrdesmit dienas virs zemes, un ūdeņi vairojās, un tie pacēla šķirstu, ka tas tika augsti uzcelts virs zemes. 18 Un ūdeņi pieņēmās spēkā un palielinājās virs zemes, un šķirsts peldēja pa ūdens virsu. 19 Un ūdeņi pieņēmās spēkā aizvien vairāk un vairāk zemes virsū, tā ka tie apsedza visus kalnus, kas bija zem debesīm. 20 Piecpadsmit olekšu augstumā ūdeņi pacēlās pār virsotnēm un apklāja kalnus. 21 Tad nobeidzās ikviena radība, kas kustēja zemes virsū, putni, lopi, zvēri un visi radījumi, kas pulkiem mudž uz zemes, un visi cilvēki. 22 Viss, kam bija dzīvības dvaša, kas dzīvoja sausumā, nobeidzās. 23 Tā Viņš iznīcināja visu dzīvo, kas bija zemes virsū, no cilvēka līdz pat lopiem, rāpuļiem un putniem gaisā visi tika iznīcināti. Palika vienīgi Noa un tie, kas bija ar viņu šķirstā. 24 Un ūdeņi pieņēmās spēkā zemes virsū simts piecdesmit dienas.
1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. 3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him. 6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 ¶ And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, 9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah. 10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 ¶ In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; 14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort. 15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life. 16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. 18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: 22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land , died. 23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive , and they that were with him in the ark. 24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
