RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 And the Lord God said to Noe, Enter thou and all thy family into the ark, for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

1 Y JEHOVÁ dijo á Noé: Entra tú y toda tu casa en el arca; porque á ti he visto justo delante de mí en esta generación.

2 And of the clean cattle take in to thee sevens, male and female, and of the unclean cattle pairs male and female.

2 De todo animal limpio te tomarás de siete en siete, macho y su hembra; mas de los animales que no son limpios, dos, macho y su hembra.

3 And of clean flying creatures of the sky sevens, male and female, and of all unclean flying creatures pairs, male and female, to maintain seed on all the earth.

3 También de las aves de los cielos de siete en siete, macho y hembra; para guardar en vida la casta sobre la faz de toda la tierra.

4 For yet seven days [having passed] I bring rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will blot out every offspring which I have made from the face of all the earth.

4 Porque [pasados] aún siete días, yo haré llover sobre la tierra cuarenta días y cuarenta noches; y raeré toda sustancia que hice de sobre la faz de la tierra.

5 And Noe [did] all things whatever the Lord God commanded him.

5 E hizo Noé conforme á todo lo que le mandó Jehová.

6 And Noe was six hundred years old when the flood of water was upon the earth.

6 Y siendo Noé de seiscientos años, el diluvio de las aguas fué sobre la tierra.

7 And then went in Noe and his sons and his wife, and his sons' wives with him into the ark, because of the water of the flood.

7 Y vino Noé, y sus hijos, y su mujer, y las mujeres de sus hijos con él al arca, por las aguas del diluvio.

8 And of clean flying creatures and of unclean flying creatures, and of clean cattle and of unclean cattle, and of all things that creep upon the earth,

8 De los animales limpios, y de los animales que no eran limpios, y de las aves, y de todo lo que anda arrastrando sobre la tierra,

9 pairs went in to Noe into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noe.

9 De dos en dos entraron á Noé en el arca: macho y hembra, como mandó Dios á Noé.

10 And it came to pass after the seven days that the water of the flood came upon the earth.

10 Y sucedió que al séptimo día las aguas del diluvio fueron sobre la tierra.

11 In the six hundredth year of the life of Noe, in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on this day all the fountains of the abyss were broken up, and the flood-gates of heaven were opened.

11 El año seiscientos de la vida de Noé, en el mes segundo, á diecisiete días del mes, aquel día fueron rotas todas las fuentes del grande abismo, y las cataratas de los cielos fueron abiertas;

12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

12 Y hubo lluvia sobre la tierra cuarenta días y cuarenta noches.

13 On that very day entered Noe, Sem, Cham, Japheth, the sons of Noe, and the wife of Noe, and the three wives of his sons with him into the ark.

13 En este mismo día entró Noé, y Sem y Châm y Japhet, hijos de Noé, la mujer de Noé, y las tres mujeres de sus hijos con él en el arca;

14 And all the wild beasts after their kind, and all cattle after their kind, and every reptile moving itself on the earth after its kind, and every flying bird after its kind,

14 Ellos, y todos los animales [silvestres] según sus especies, y todos los animales mansos según sus especies, y todo reptil que anda arrastrando sobre la tierra según su especie, y toda ave según su especie, todo pájaro, toda especie de volátil.

15 went in to Noe into the ark, pairs, male and female of all flesh in which is the breath of life.

15 Y vinieron á Noé al arca, de dos en dos de toda carne en que había espíritu de vida.

16 And they that entered went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded Noe, and the Lord God shut the ark outside of him.

16 Y los que vinieron, macho y hembra de toda carne vinieron, como le había mandado Dios: y Jehová le cerró [la puerta].

17 And the flood was upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and the water abounded greatly and bore up the ark, and it was lifted on high from off the earth.

17 Y fué el diluvio cuarenta días sobre la tierra; y las aguas crecieron, y alzaron el arca, y se elevó sobre la tierra.

18 And the water prevailed and abounded exceedingly upon the earth, and the ark was borne upon the water.

18 Y prevalecieron las aguas, y crecieron en gran manera sobre la tierra; y andaba el arca sobre la faz de las aguas.

19 And the water prevailed exceedingly upon the earth, and covered all the high mountains which were under heaven.

19 Y las aguas prevalecieron mucho en extremo sobre la tierra; y todos los montes altos que había debajo de todos los cielos, fueron cubiertos.

20 Fifteen cubits upwards was the water raised, and it covered all the high mountains.

20 Quince codos en alto prevalecieron las aguas; y fueron cubiertos los montes.

21 And there died all flesh that moved upon the earth, of flying creatures and cattle, and of wild beasts, and every reptile moving upon the earth, and every man.

21 Y murió toda carne que se mueve sobre la tierra, así de aves como de ganados, y de bestias, y de todo reptil que anda arrastrando sobre la tierra, y todo hombre:

22 And all things which have the breath of life, and whatever was on the dry land, died.

22 Todo lo que tenía aliento de espíritu de vida en sus narices, de todo lo que había en la tierra, murió.

23 And [God] blotted out every offspring which was upon the face of the earth, both man and beast, and reptiles, and birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth, and Noe was left alone, and those with him in the ark.

23 Así fué destruída toda sustancia que vivía sobre la faz de la tierra, desde el hombre hasta la bestia, y los reptiles, y las aves del cielo; y fueron raídos de la tierra; y quedó solamente Noé, y lo que con él estaba en el arca.

24 And the water was raised over the earth an hundred and fifty days.

24 Y prevalecieron las aguas sobre la tierra ciento y cincuenta días.

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).

Quotes verse 7:10 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XV, Chapters 13–14)
But why in the same place is it also written, "The waters of the flood were upon the earth in the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the twenty-seventh day of the month," if that very brief year (of which it took ten to make one of ours) consisted of thirty-six days?

Quotes verse 7:20 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm XC)
Hence in the Psalms, fifteen "songs of degrees." Hence the waters of the deluge overtopped the highest mountains by fifteen cubits: and many other instances of the same nature.
