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.
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 Of all clean beasts take seven and seven, the male and the 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 But of the beasts that are unclean two and two, the male and the 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.
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 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.
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 which the Lord had commanded him.
5 E hizo Noé conforme á todo lo que le mandó Jehová.
6 And he was six hundred years old, when the waters of the flood overflowed the earth.
6 Y siendo Noé de seiscientos años, el diluvio de las aguas fué sobre la tierra.
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.
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 beasts clean and unclean, and of fowls, and of every thing that moveth 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 Two and two went in to Noe into the ark, male and female, as the Lord had commanded Noe.
9 De dos en dos entraron á Noé en el arca: macho y hembra, como mandó Dios á Noé.
10 And after the seven days were passed, the waters of the flood overflowed 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, in the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great deep 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 fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
12 Y hubo lluvia sobre la tierra cuarenta días y cuarenta noches.
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:
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 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, all birds, and all that fly,
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, two and two of all flesh, wherein was 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 went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in on the outside.
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 forty days upon the earth, and the waters increased, and lifted up the ark on high from 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 For they overflowed exceedingly: and filled all on the face of the earth: and the ark was carried upon the waters.
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 waters prevailed beyond measure upon the earth: and all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered.
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 The water was fifteen cubits higher than the mountains which it covered.
20 Quince codos en alto prevalecieron las aguas; y fueron cubiertos los montes.
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.
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 wherein there is the breath of life on the earth, 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 he destroyed all the substance that was upon the earth, from man even 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.
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 waters prevailed upon the earth a 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).
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?

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.
