1Dixitque Dominus ad eum:And the Lord said to him:Ingredere tu et omnis domus tua in arcam:“Enter the ark, you and all your house.te enim vidi justum coram me in generatione hac.For I have seen you to be just in my sight, within this generation.
2Ex omnibus animantibus mundis tolle septena et septena,From all the clean animals, take seven and seven,masculum et feminam:the male and the female.de animantibus vero immundis duo et duo,Yet truly, from animals that are unclean, take two and two,masculum et feminam.the male and the female.
3Sed et de volatilibus cæli septena et septena,But also from the birds of the air, take seven and seven,masculum et feminam:the male and the female,ut salvetur semen super faciem universæ terræ.so that offspring may be saved upon the face of the whole earth.
4Adhuc enim,For from that point,et post dies septem ego pluam super terram quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus:and after seven days,et delebo omnem substantiam,I will rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.quam feci,And I will wipe away every substance that I have made,de superficie terræ.from the surface of the earth.”
5Fecit ergo Noë omnia quæ mandaverat ei Dominus.Therefore, Noah did all things just as the Lord had commanded him.
6Eratque sexcentorum annorum quando diluvii aquæ inundaverunt super terram.And he was six hundred years old when the waters of the great flood inundated the earth.
7Et ingressus est Noë et filii ejus,And Noah entered into the ark, and his sons,uxor ejus et uxores filiorum ejus cum eo in arcam propter aquas diluvii.his wife, and the wives of his sons with him, because of the waters of the great flood.
8De animantibus quoque mundis et immundis,And from the animals both clean and unclean,et de volucribus,and from the birds,et ex omni quod movetur super terram,and from everything that moves upon the earth,
9duo et duo ingressa sunt ad Noë in arcam,two by two they were brought into the ark to Noah,masculus et femina,male and female,sicut præceperat Dominus Noë.just as the Lord had instructed Noah.
10Cumque transissent septem dies,And when seven days had passed,aquæ diluvii inundaverunt super terram.the waters of the great flood inundated the earth.

14ipsi et omne animal secundum genus suum,They and every animal according to its kind,universaque jumenta in genere suo,and all the cattle in their kind,et omne quod movetur super terram in genere suo,and everything that moves upon the earth in their kind,cunctumque volatile secundum genus suum,and every flying thing according to its kind,universæ aves, omnesque volucres,all the birds and all that can fly,
15ingressæ sunt ad Noë in arcam,entered the ark to Noah,bina et bina ex omni carne,two by two out of all that is flesh,in qua erat spiritus vitæ.in which there was the breath of life.
16Et quæ ingressa sunt,And those that entered went in male and female,masculus et femina ex omni carne introierunt,from all that is flesh,sicut præceperat ei Deus:just as God had instructed him.et inclusit eum Dominus deforis.And then the Lord closed him in from the outside.
17Factumque est diluvium quadraginta diebus super terram:And the great flood occurred for forty days upon the earth.et multiplicatæ sunt aquæ,And the waters were increased,et elevaverunt arcam in sublime a terra.and they lifted the ark high above the land.
18Vehementer enim inundaverunt,For they overflowed greatly,et omnia repleverunt in superficie terræ:and they filled everything on the surface of the earth.porro arca ferebatur super aquas.And then the ark was carried across the waters.
19Et aquæ prævaluerunt nimis super terram:And the waters prevailed beyond measure across the earth.opertique sunt omnes montes excelsi sub universo cælo.And all the lofty mountains under the whole heaven were covered.

22et cuncta, in quibus spiraculum vitæ est in terra, mortua sunt.and everything in which there is the breath of life on earth, died.
23Et delevit omnem substantiam quæ erat super terram,And he wiped away all substance that was upon the earth,ab homine usque ad pecus,from man to animal,tam reptile quam volucres cæli:the crawling things just as much as the flying things of the air.et deleta sunt de terra.And they were wiped away from the earth.Remansit autem solus Noë,But only Noah remained,et qui cum eo erant in arca.and those who were with him in the ark.
