1Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada Nuh, “Aku melihat bahwa kamulah satu-satunya orang yang melakukan kehendak-Ku di zaman ini. Karena itu, masuklah ke kapal bersama seluruh keluargamu.2Dari setiap jenis binatang yang layak dipersembahkan, bawalah tujuh pasang ke dalam kapal, yaitu tujuh jantan dan tujuh betina. Sedangkan dari setiap jenis binatang yang haram, bawalah satu pasang saja.3Begitu juga dengan burung-burung, ambillah tujuh pasang dari setiap jenisnya. Dengan demikian, setiap jenis makhluk hidup tetap dapat berkembang biak sesudah banjir.4Tujuh hari lagi, Aku akan menurunkan hujan lebat di bumi selama empat puluh hari empat puluh malam. Aku akan memusnahkan segala makhluk hidup yang sudah Aku ciptakan di muka bumi.”5Lalu Nuh melakukan semua yang sudah diperintahkan TUHAN kepadanya.6Pada waktu banjir besar itu melanda bumi, Nuh berumur 600 tahun.7Untuk menyelamatkan diri dari banjir besar itu, Nuh masuk ke kapal bersama istrinya, ketiga putranya, dan ketiga menantunya.8Sesuai dengan yang sudah diperintahkan Allah kepada Nuh, segala jenis binatang yang halal dan yang haram, burung, serta binatang yang melata dan yang merayap datang kepada Nuh berpasang-pasangan untuk masuk ke kapal.10Tujuh hari kemudian, banjir besar pun datang ke atas bumi.11Sebulan setelah Nuh berumur 600 tahun, pada hari ketujuh belas bulan itu, semua mata air di bawah permukaan tanah tiba-tiba meluap, dan hujan turun begitu derasnya seakan semua pintu air yang ada di langit terbuka.12Hujan terus-menerus mengguyur bumi selama empat puluh hari dan empat puluh malam.13Ketika hujan itu mulai turun, Nuh, istrinya, ketiga anaknya (Sem, Yafet, dan Ham), serta ketiga menantunya masuk ke dalam kapal.14Begitu juga segala jenis binatang liar, hewan ternak, burung-burung, hewan bersayap, binatang melata, dan binatang merayap,15semuanya datang berpasang-pasangan dan masuk ke kapal itu bersama Nuh,16yaitu seekor jantan dan seekor betina, seperti yang sudah Allah perintahkan kepada Nuh. Setelah semuanya masuk, TUHAN menutup pintu kapal itu.17Banjir yang merendam seluruh bumi terus bertambah tinggi selama empat puluh hari. Airnya semakin naik dan terus naik, sehingga kapal itu terangkat dan terapung-apung.19Air itu kian bertambah tinggi hingga menutupi semua gunung, bahkan mencapai ketinggian sekitar tujuh meter di atas puncak gunung-gunung tertinggi di seluruh dunia.21Maka matilah semua makhluk hidup di permukaan bumi, termasuk burung, hewan ternak, binatang liar, binatang melata, binatang merayap, dan manusia.23Demikianlah semua makhluk hidup dibinasakan, kecuali Nuh dan semua yang ikut bersamanya di dalam kapal.24Air itu menggenangi permukaan bumi selama 150 hari.
World English Bible (dengan Deuterokanonika)
1Yahweh said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.2You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.3Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.4In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy every living thing that I have made from the surface of the ground.”5Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him.6Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.7Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the floodwaters.8Clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground9went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.10After the seven days, the floodwaters came on the earth.11In 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 sky’s windows opened.12It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights.13In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth—the sons of Noah—and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship—14they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.15Pairs from all flesh with the breath of life in them went into the ship to Noah.16Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; then Yahweh shut him in.17The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.18The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.19The waters rose very high on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.20The waters rose fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.21All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.22All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.23Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.24The waters flooded the earth one hundred fifty days.
