¹And 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 assuaged;

¹Spomni pa se Bog Noeta in vseh zveri in vseh živali, ki so bile ž njim v ladji, in pošlje Bog veter nad zemljo, in vode upadejo;

²The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

²in zapro se brezna studenci in zatvornice neba, in ustavi se dež z neba.

³And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

³In vode se neprenehoma vračajo s površja zemlje in se manjšajo, odkar je minilo stoinpetdeset dni.

⁴And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

⁴In ladja je obstala sedmi mesec, sedemnajsti dan meseca na gorovju Araratskem.

⁵And 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.

⁵In vode so vedno bolj upadale do desetega meseca: deseti mesec, prvi dan meseca se pokažejo vrhovi gorá.

⁶And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:

⁶In zgodi se, ko je minilo štirideset dni, da Noe odpre okno na ladji, ki ga je bil naredil,

⁷And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

⁷in izpusti vrana; ta je letal semtertja, dokler se niso posušile vode na zemlji.

⁸Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;

⁸In izpusti goloba od sebe, da bi videl, so li že izginile vode s površja zemlje.

⁹But 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.

⁹Ali golob ni našel mesta stopalu noge svoje, in vrne se v ladjo k njemu, ker so bile še vode na površju zemlje. Noe pa iztegne roko svojo, ga prime in vzame k sebi v ladjo.

¹⁰And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;

¹⁰Počaka torej še drugih sedem dni, in zopet izpusti goloba iz ladje.

¹¹And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

¹¹In prileti k njemu golob o času večernem, in glej, mlado pero oljkovo v kljunu njegovem; in spozna Noe, da je zemlja vodovja prosta.

¹²And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.

¹²In počaka še drugih sedem dni in izpusti goloba, a ni se več vrnil k njemu.

¹³And 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.

¹³In bilo je v šeststo in prvem letu, prvi mesec, prvi dan meseca, ko so se posušile vode s površja zemlje, da je Noe odkril streho ladje in se oziral, in glej, posušena je površina zemlje.

¹⁴And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.

¹⁴Drugi mesec pa, sedemindvajseti dan meseca je bila zemlja suha.

¹⁵And God spake unto Noah, saying,

¹⁵Tedaj zapove Bog Noetu, rekoč:

¹⁶Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

¹⁶Izidi iz ladje, ti in žena tvoja in sinovi tvoji in žene sinov tvojih s teboj.

¹⁷Bring 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.

¹⁷Vse živali, ki so s teboj, od vsakršnega mesa, kar jih je ptic in živine in vse laznine, ki lazi po zemlji, izpelji s seboj, da naj obilo rodé na zemlji, rodovitne naj bodo in se množé po zemlji.

¹⁸And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:

¹⁸Izide torej Noe in sinovi njegovi in žena njegova in žene sinov njegovih ž njim.

¹⁹Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.

¹⁹Vse živali, vsa laznina in vse ptice, karkoli se giblje na zemlji, po rodovih svojih pridejo ven iz ladje.

²⁰And 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.

²⁰Potem zgradi Noe oltar GOSPODU, in vzame od vse čiste živine in izmed vseh čistih ptic ter daruje žgalen dar na oltarju.

²¹And the LORD smelled a sweet savor; 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.

²¹In GOSPOD zaduha tisti duh prijetni, in reče GOSPOD v srcu svojem: Ne bodem več proklel zemlje zaradi človeka; zakaj misel srca človekovega je huda od mladosti njegove; in ne udarim več vsega, kar živi, kakor sem storil.Dokler bode zemlja, ne preneha setev in žetev, ne mraz in vročina, ne leto in zima, ne dan in noč.

²²While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

²²Dokler bode zemlja, ne preneha setev in žetev, ne mraz in vročina, ne leto in zima, ne dan in noč.
