Genesis 8

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Then God remembered Noah, and all living things, and all the cattle, which were with him in the ark, and he brought a wind across the earth, and the waters were diminished.	1 Και ενεθυμηθη ο Θεος τον Νωε, και παντα τα ζωα, και παντα τα κτηνη, τα μετ' αυτου εν τη κιβωτω? και διεβιβασεν ο Θεος ανεμον επι την γην, και τα υδατα εσταθησαν.
2 And the fountains of the abyss and the floodgates of heaven were closed. And the rain from heaven was restrained.	2 Και εκλεισθησαν αι πηγαι της αβυσσου, και οι καταρρακται του ουρανου, και εκρατηθη ο υετος απο των ουρανων.
3 And the waters were restored to their coming and going from the earth. And they began to diminish after one hundred and fifty days.	3 Και εσυροντο τα υδατα απο της γης κατα συνεχειαν? και ωλιγοστευον τα υδατα μετα τας εκατον πεντηκοντα ημερας.
4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, upon the mountains of Armenia.	4 Και εκαθισεν η κιβωτος την δεκατην εβδομην του εβδομου μηνος επι των ορεων Αραρατ.
5 Yet in truth, the waters were departing and decreasing until the tenth month. For in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tips of the mountains appeared.	5 Τα δε υδατα ωλιγοστευον κατα συνεχειαν εως του δεκατου μηνος? την πρωτην του δεκατου μηνος εφανησαν αι κορυφαι των ορεων.
6 And when forty days had passed, Noah, opening the window that he had made in the ark, sent forth a raven,	6 Και μετα τεσσαρακοντα ημερας ηνοιξεν ο Νωε την θυριδα της κιβωτου, την οποιαν ειχε καμει?
7 which went forth and did not return, until the waters were dried up across the earth.	7 και απεστειλε τον κορακα, οστις εξελθων υπηγαινε και ηρχετο, εωσου εξηρανθησαν τα υδατα απο της γης.
8 Likewise, he sent forth a dove after him, in order to see if the waters had now ceased upon the face of the earth.	8 Και απεστειλε την περιστεραν κατοπιν αυτου, δια να ιδη αν επαυσαν τα υδατα απο προσωπου της γης?
9 But when she did not find a place where her foot might rest, she returned to him in the ark. For the waters were upon the whole earth. And he extended his hand and caught her, and he brought her into the ark.	9 και μη ευρισκουσα η περιστερα αναπαυσιν των ποδων αυτης, επεστρεψε προς αυτον εις την κιβωτον, διοτι τα υδατα ησαν επι του προσωπου πασης της γης? και εκτεινας την χειρα αυτου, επιασεν αυτην και εισηγαγεν αυτην προς εαυτον εις την κιβωτον.
10 And then, having waited a further seven days, he again sent forth the dove out of the ark.	10 Και ανεμεινεν ετι αλλας επτα ημερας, και παλιν απεστειλε την περιστεραν εκ της κιβωτου?
11 And she came to him in the evening, carrying in her mouth an olive branch with green leaves. Noah then understood that the waters had ceased upon the earth.	11 και επεστρεψε προς αυτον η περιστερα προς το εσπερας, και ιδου, ητο εν τω στοματι αυτης φυλλον ελαιας, απεσπασμενον? και εγνωρισεν ο Νωε οτι επαυσαν τα υδατα απο της γης.
12 And nevertheless, he waited another seven days. And he sent forth the dove, which no longer returned to him.	12 Και ανεμεινεν ετι αλλας επτα ημερας, και απεστειλε την περιστεραν? και δεν επανεστρεψε πλεον προς αυτον.
13 Therefore, in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the waters were diminished upon the earth. And Noah, opening the cover of the ark, gazed out and saw that the surface of the earth had become dry.	13 Κατα δε το εξακοσιοστον πρωτον ετος του Νωε, την πρωτην του πρωτου μηνος, εξελιπον τα υδατα απο της γης? και εσηκωσεν ο Νωε την στεγην της κιβωτου, και ειδε, και ιδου, εξελιπε το υδωρ απο προσωπου της γης.
14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was made dry.	14 Και την εικοστην εβδομην ημεραν του δευτερου μηνος εξηρανθη η γη?
15 Then God spoke to Noah, saying:	15 και ελαλησεν ο Θεος προς τον Νωε, λεγων,
16 “Go out of the ark, you and your wife, your sons and the wives of your sons with you.	16 Εξελθε εκ της κιβωτου, συ, και η γυνη σου, και οι υιοι σου, και αι γυναικες των υιων σου μετα σου?
17 Bring out with you all the living things that are with you, all that is flesh: as with the birds, so also with the wild beasts and all the animals that move upon the earth. And enter upon the land: increase and multiply upon it.”	17 παντα τα ζωα τα μετα σου, απο πασης σαρκος, και πτηνα και κτηνη και παν ερπετον ερπον επι της γης, εξαγαγε μετα σου, και ας πολυπλασιασθωσιν επι της γης, και ας αυξηνθωσι και ας πληθυνθωσιν επι της γης.
18 And so Noah and his sons went out, and his wife and the wives of his sons with him.	18 Και εξηλθεν ο Νωε, και οι υιοι αυτου, και η γυνη αυτου, και αι γυναικες των υιων αυτου μετ' αυτου?
19 Then also all living things, and the cattle, and the animals that move upon the earth, according to their kinds, departed from the ark.	19 παντα τα ζωα, παντα τα ερπετα και παντα τα πτηνα, παν ο, τι κινειται επι της γης, κατα τα ειδη αυτων, εξηλθον εκ της κιβωτου.
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord. And, taking from each of the cattle and birds that were clean, he offered holocausts upon the altar.	20 Και ωκοδομησεν ο Νωε θυσιαστηριον εις τον Κυριον? και ελαβεν απο παντος κτηνους καθαρου, και απο παντος πτηνου καθαρου, και προσεφερεν ολοκαυτωματα επι του θυσιαστηριου.
21 And the Lord smelled the sweet odor and said: “I will no longer curse the earth because of man. For the feelings and thoughts of the heart of man are prone to evil from his youth. Therefore, I will no longer pierce every living soul as I have done.	21 Και ωσφρανθη Κυριος οσμην ευωδιας? και ειπε Κυριος εν τη καρδια αυτου, Δεν θελω καταρασθη πλεον την γην εξ αιτιας του ανθρωπου? διοτι ο λογισμος της καρδιας του ανθρωπου ειναι κακος εκ νηπιοτητος αυτου? ουδε θελω παταξει πλεον παντα τα ζωντα, καθως εκαμον?
22 All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, will not cease.”	22 εν οσω μενει γη, σπορα και θερισμος, και ψυχος και καυμα, και θερος και χειμων, και ημερα και νυξ, δεν θελουσι παυσει.
