1 Entonces Dios se acordó de Noé y de todos los animales que estaban con él en el barco. Dios hizo soplar un fuerte viento sobre la tierra, de modo que 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 tanto las fuentes del mar profundo como las compuertas de los cielos, y dejó de llover.
2 The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3 Las aguas fueron bajando poco a poco. Después de ciento cincuenta días las aguas habían bajado bastante.
3 The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters receded.
4 Fue por eso que el día diecisiete del mes séptimo el barco se posó sobre las montañas de Ararat.
4 The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
5 El agua siguió bajando, de modo que el día primero del mes décimo pudieron verse las partes más altas 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 le había hecho al barco
6 At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
7 y soltó un cuervo, el cual estuvo volando de un lado a otro esperando que la tierra se secara, pero no regresó.
7 and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.
8 Luego Noé soltó una paloma, para ver si ya la tierra estaba seca.
8 He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,
9 Pero la paloma regresó al barco, porque no encontró un lugar seco en el cual pudiera posarse. Entonces Noé extendió su mano, agarró a la paloma y la metió al barco.
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 más y volvió a soltar la paloma.
10 He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
11 Ya estaba oscureciendo cuando la paloma regresó, trayendo en su pico una ramita verde de olivo. Por eso, Noé se dio cuenta de que las aguas habían bajado mucho, de modo que ya se podía ver la tierra seca.
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 Siete días después volvió a soltar la paloma, pero esta vez la paloma no regresó.
12 He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.
13 Cuando Noé tenía seiscientos un años de vida, las aguas desaparecieron. El primer día del mes primero de ese año, Noé retiró el techo del barco y vio que la tierra estaba casi 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 ya estaba completamente seca.
14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Entonces Dios le dijo a Noé:
15 God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 «Ya pueden salir todos. Deja salir a todos los animales, aves y reptiles para que se reproduzcan abundantemente y llenen la tierra».
16 “Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
17 Not in this translation
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 Así que Noé, sus hijos, su esposa y sus nueras salieron del barco.
18 Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.
19 También salieron todos los animales, según su propia especie: los animales salvajes y los domésticos, las aves y los reptiles.
19 Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
20 Después Noé construyó un altar para adorar al Señor. En ese altar Noé le ofreció a Dios animales y aves adecuados para el sacrificio, es decir, que eran puros.
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 Al Señor le agradó mucho el olor de los sacrificios, y se dijo a sí mismo: «Nunca más volveré a maldecir la tierra por culpa de la humanidad, pues todos los seres humanos están inclinados hacia el mal desde que son niños. ¡Jamás volveré a destruir a los seres vivos, como lo hice en esta ocasión!
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, habrá siembra y cosecha; siempre habrá frío y calor, verano e invierno, los días y las noches».
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.
