Livre de la Genèse 7

JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
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.	1 And the Lord said to him: Go in thou and all thy house into the ark: for thee I have seen just before me in this generation.
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	2 Of all clean beasts take seven and seven, the male and female.
3 (et aussi des oiseaux du ciel, sept paires, le mâle et sa femelle), pour perpétuer la race sur toute laterre.	3 But of the beasts that are unclean two and two, the male and female. Of the fowls also of the air seven and seven,the male and the female: that seed may be saved upon the face of the whole 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."	4 For yet a while, and after seven days, I will rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will destroy every substance that I have made, from the face of the earth.
5 Noé fit tout ce que Yahvé lui avait commandé.	5 And Noe did all things which the Lord had commanded him.
6 Noé avait 600 ans quand arriva le déluge, les eaux sur la terre.	6 And he was six hundred years old, when the waters of the flood overflowed the earth.
7 Noé -- avec ses fils, sa femme et les femmes de ses fils -- entra dans l'arche pour échapper aux eauxdu déluge.	7 And Noe went in and his sons, his wife and the wives of his sons with him into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 (Des animaux purs et des animaux qui ne sont pas purs, des oiseaux et de tout ce qui rampe sur lesol,	8 And of the beasts clean and unclean, and of fowls, and of every thing that moveth upon the earth,
	9 Two and two went in to Noe into the ark, male and female, as the Lord had commanded Noe.
10 Au bout de sept jours, les eaux du déluge vinrent sur la terre.	10 And after seven days were passed, the waters of the flood overflowed the earth.
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.	11 In the six hundreth year of the life of Noe in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the flood gates of heaven were open:
12 La pluie tomba sur la terre pendant 40 jours et 40 nuits.	12 And the rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
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,	13 In the selfsame day Noe, and Sem, and Cham, and Japheth his sons: his wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the ark:
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.	14 They and every beast according to its kind, and all the cattle in their kind, and every thing that moveth upon the earth according to its kind, and every fowl according to its kind, and every fowl according to its kind, all birds, and all that fly.
15 Auprès de Noé, entra dans l'arche un couple de tout ce qui est chair, ayant souffle de vie,	15 Went in to Noe into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein was the breath of life.
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.	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 on the outside.
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.	17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth, and the waters increased, and lifted up the ark on high from earth.
18 Les eaux montèrent et grossirent beaucoup sur la terre et l'arche s'en alla à la surface des eaux.	18 For they overflowed exceedingly: and filled all on the face of the earth: and the ark was carried upon the waters.
19 Les eaux montèrent de plus en plus sur la terre et toutes les plus hautes montagnes qui sont soustout le ciel furent couvertes.	19 And the waters prevailed beyond measure upon the earth: and all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered.
20 Les eaux montèrent quinze coudées plus haut, recouvrant les montagnes.	20 The water was fifteen cubits higher than the mountains which it covered.
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.	21 And all flesh was destroyed that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beasts, and of all creeping things that creep upon the earth: and all men.
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.	22 And all things wherein there is the breath of life on the earth, died.
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.	23 And he destroyed all the substance that was upon the earth, from man to beast, and the creeping things and fowls of the air: and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noe only remained, and they that were with him in the ark.
24 La crue des eaux sur la terre dura 150 jours.	24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth a hundred and fifty days.
