Genesis 7

KING JAMES BIBLE	JERUSALEM
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.	1 Yahvé dit à Noé: "Entre dans l'arche, toi et toute ta famille, car je t'ai vu seul juste à mes yeux parmicette génération.
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.	2 De tous les animaux purs, tu prendras sept paires, le mâle et sa femelle; des animaux qui ne sont paspurs, tu prendras un couple, le mâle et sa femelle
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.	3 (et aussi des oiseaux du ciel, sept paires, le mâle et sa femelle), pour perpétuer la race sur toute laterre.
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.	4 Car encore sept jours et je ferai pleuvoir sur la terre pendant 40 jours et 40 nuits et j'effacerai de lasurface du sol tous les êtres que j'ai faits."
5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.	5 Noé fit tout ce que Yahvé lui avait commandé.
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.	6 Noé avait 600 ans quand arriva le déluge, les eaux sur la terre.
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.	7 Noé -- avec ses fils, sa femme et les femmes de ses fils -- entra dans l'arche pour échapper aux eauxdu déluge.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,	8 (Des animaux purs et des animaux qui ne sont pas purs, des oiseaux et de tout ce qui rampe sur lesol,
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.	10 Au bout de sept jours, les eaux du déluge vinrent sur la terre.
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.	11 En l'an 600 de la vie de Noé, le second mois, le dix-septième jour du mois, ce jour-là jaillirenttoutes les sources du grand abîme et les écluses du ciel s'ouvrirent.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.	12 La pluie tomba sur la terre pendant 40 jours et 40 nuits.
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;	13 Ce jour même, Noé et ses fils, Sem, Cham et Japhet, avec la femme de Noé et les trois femmes deses fils, entrèrent dans l'arche,
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.	14 et avec eux les bêtes sauvages de toute espèce, les bestiaux de toute espèce, les bestioles de touteespèce qui rampent sur la terre, les volatiles de toute espèce, tous les oiseaux, tout ce qui a des ailes.
15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.	15 Auprès de Noé, entra dans l'arche un couple de tout ce qui est chair, ayant souffle de vie,
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.	16 et ceux qui entrèrent étaient un mâle et une femelle de tout ce qui est chair, comme Dieu le lui avaitcommandé. Et Yahvé ferma la porte sur Noé.
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.	17 Il y eut le déluge pendant 40 jours sur la terre; les eaux grossirent et soulevèrent l'arche, qui futélevée au-dessus de la terre.
18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.	18 Les eaux montèrent et grossirent beaucoup sur la terre et l'arche s'en alla à la surface des eaux.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.	19 Les eaux montèrent de plus en plus sur la terre et toutes les plus hautes montagnes qui sont soustout le ciel furent couvertes.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.	20 Les eaux montèrent quinze coudées plus haut, recouvrant les montagnes.
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:	21 Alors périt toute chair qui se meut sur la terre: oiseaux, bestiaux, bêtes sauvages, tout ce quigrouille sur la terre, et tous les hommes.
22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.	22 Tout ce qui avait une haleine de vie dans les narines, c'est-à-dire tout ce qui était sur la terre ferme,mourut.
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.	23 Ainsi disparurent tous les êtres qui étaient à la surface du sol, depuis l'homme jusqu'aux bêtes, auxbestioles et aux oiseaux du ciel: ils furent effacés de la terre et il ne resta que Noé et ce qui était avec lui dansl'arche.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.	24 La crue des eaux sur la terre dura 150 jours.
