1 Dios se acordó de Noé y de todos los seres vivos y el ganado que estaban con él en el arca. Dios hizo pasar un viento sobre la tierra, y las aguas comenzaron a bajar.
1 God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.
2 Se cerraron las fuentes del abismo y las ventanas del cielo, y dejó de caer la lluvia.
2 The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3 Poco a poco las aguas se retiraron de la tierra. Al cabo de ciento cincuenta días, habían bajado.
3 The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters receded.
4 El día diecisiete del séptimo mes, el arca se detuvo sobre los montes de Ararat.
4 The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
5 Las aguas siguieron bajando hasta el primer día del décimo mes, cuando aparecieron las cumbres de las montañas.
5 The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were visible.
6 Después de cuarenta días, Noé abrió la ventana que había hecho en el arca
6 At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
7 y soltó un cuervo. El cuervo iba y venía hasta que las aguas se secaron sobre la tierra.
7 and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.
8 Después Noé soltó una paloma para ver si las aguas habían bajado de la superficie de la tierra.
8 He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,
9 Pero la paloma no encontró dónde descansar y volvió al arca, porque las aguas todavía cubrían toda la tierra. Noé extendió la mano, la tomó y la metió de nuevo en el arca.
9 but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned into the ship to him, for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put out his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
10 Esperó otros siete días y volvió a soltar la paloma.
10 He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
11 Al atardecer la paloma regresó con una hoja de olivo en el pico. Entonces Noé supo que las aguas habían bajado sobre la tierra.
11 The dove came back to him at evening and, behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.
12 Esperó otros siete días y volvió a soltar la paloma, pero esta vez no regresó.
12 He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.
13 En el año seiscientos uno de la vida de Noé, el primer día del primer mes, las aguas se habían secado sobre la tierra. Noé quitó la cubierta del arca y vio que la superficie de la tierra estaba seca.
13 In the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dry.
14 El día veintisiete del segundo mes, la tierra estaba completamente seca.
14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Entonces Dios dijo a Noé:
15 God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 «Sal del arca con tu mujer, tus hijos y las mujeres de tus hijos.
16 “Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
17 Saca contigo a todos los seres vivos: las aves, el ganado y todos los animales que se mueven sobre la tierra. Que tengan descendencia, sean fecundos y se multipliquen sobre la tierra».
17 Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth.”
18 Noé salió con sus hijos, su mujer y las mujeres de sus hijos.
18 Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.
19 También salieron del arca todos los animales, las aves y todos los seres vivos que se mueven sobre la tierra, cada uno según su especie.
19 Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
20 Noé construyó un altar al Señor. Tomó algunos de todos los animales limpios y de todas las aves limpias y los ofreció como ofrendas quemadas sobre el altar.
20 Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 El Señor recibió con agrado el olor de las ofrendas y dijo en su corazón: «Nunca más maldeciré la tierra por causa del ser humano, aunque los pensamientos del corazón humano son malos desde su juventud. Tampoco volveré a destruir a todos los seres vivos como lo he hecho.
21 Yahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake because the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. I will never again strike every living thing, as I have done.
22 Mientras exista la tierra, no dejarán de existir el tiempo de sembrar y de cosechar, el frío y el calor, el verano y el invierno, el día y la noche».
22 While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And the waters decreased continually until the eleventh month: on the first day of the month were the tops of the mountains seen." But if the months were such as we have, then so were the years.

For so with respect to the ark likewise, it is said, "The raven returned not till the earth was dried up." And yet it did not return even after that time.

And the sacrifice of the Greeks was rejected and condemned, but the sacrifice of the just was very acceptable to God. For Noah sacrificed, and God smelled a sweet savour, receiving the fragrance of the right choice and good-will towards Him.

When, then, it was sent forth, it brought an olive branch; but it had not leaves alone, it had also fruit. This, then, we ought to wish for our brethren who are baptized outside, that they may have fruit; the dove will not permit them to remain outside, but bring them back to the ark.

After the cessation of the flood, however, He said, Go forth of the ark, thou and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives.
