Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 The Lord told Noah, “Go into the ark with all your family. I have seen how you are a man of integrity, living a moral life among the people of 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.
1 Yahweh said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.
2 Take with you seven pairs, male and female, of every kind of clean animal, and one pair, male and female, of every kind of unclean animal.
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.
2 You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.
3 In addition take seven pairs, male and female, of all the birds, so their different kinds will survive throughout 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.
3 Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.
4 In seven days I'm going to make it rain for forty days and nights. I'm going to wipe out from the surface of the earth all the living creatures I made.”
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.
4 In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy every living thing that I have made from the surface of the ground.”
5 Noah did exactly what the Lord ordered him to do.
5 E hizo Noé conforme á todo lo que le mandó Jehová.
5 Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him.
6 Noah was 600 when the flood waters covered the earth.
6 Y siendo Noé de seiscientos años, el diluvio de las aguas fué sobre la tierra.
6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.
7 Noah went into the ark, taking with him his wife and his sons and their wives, because 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.
7 Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the floodwaters.
8 Clean and unclean animals, birds, and creatures that run along the ground,
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,
8 Clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground
9 went into the ark with Noah. They came in pairs, male and female, just as God had told Noah.
9 De dos en dos entraron á Noé en el arca: macho y hembra, como mandó Dios á Noé.
9 went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.
10 After seven days the floodwaters swept over the earth.
10 Y sucedió que al séptimo día las aguas del diluvio fueron sobre la tierra.
10 After the seven days, the floodwaters came on the earth.
11 Noah was 600 when on the seventeenth day of the second month all the subterranean waters burst through the earth, and heavy rain poured down from the sky.
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;
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the sky’s windows opened.
12 Rain continued to fall on the earth for forty days and nights.
12 Y hubo lluvia sobre la tierra cuarenta días y cuarenta noches.
12 It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights.
13 That was the actual day when Noah, his wife, and their sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth together with their three wives 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;
13 In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth—the sons of Noah—and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship—
14 They had with them every kind of wild animals, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds—everything with wings.
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.
14 they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.
15 They all came into the ark with Noah in pairs—every living thing that breathes.
15 Y vinieron á Noé al arca, de dos en dos de toda carne en que había espíritu de vida.
15 Pairs from all flesh with the breath of life in them went into the ship to Noah.
16 A male and a female of every creature entered, as God had told Noah. Then the Lord shut the door behind him.
16 Y los que vinieron, macho y hembra de toda carne vinieron, como le había mandado Dios: y Jehová le cerró [la puerta].
16 Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; then Yahweh shut him in.
17 The flood increased for forty days, lifting the ark so that it floated up 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.
17 The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.
18 The floodwaters surged and grew deeper and deeper over the earth, but the ark floated along on the surface.
18 Y prevalecieron las aguas, y crecieron en gran manera sobre la tierra; y andaba el arca sobre la faz de las aguas.
18 The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.
19 Finally the water grew so deep that even the highest mountains were covered—all that could be seen was sky.
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.
19 The waters rose very high on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.
20 The water rose so much that it was higher than the mountains by fifteen cubits.
20 Quince codos en alto prevalecieron las aguas; y fueron cubiertos los montes.
20 The waters rose fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.
21 Everything living on earth died—the birds, livestock, wild animals, all creatures that run along the ground, and all the people.
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:
21 All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.
22 Everything on land that breathed, died.
22 Todo lo que tenía aliento de espíritu de vida en sus narices, de todo lo que había en la tierra, murió.
22 All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.
23 The Lord wiped out all life on earth—people, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds. All were killed. The only ones left were Noah and those with him on 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.
23 Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.
24 The earth remained flooded for 150 days.
24 Y prevalecieron las aguas sobre la tierra ciento y cincuenta días.
24 The waters flooded the earth one hundred fifty days.

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.
