1 Recordatus autem Deus Noë, cunctorumque animantium, et omnium jumentorum, quæ erant cum eo in arca, adduxit spiritum super terram, et imminutæ sunt aquæ.
1 Y ACORDÓSE Dios de Noé, y de todos los animales, y de todas las bestias que estaban con él en el arca; é hizo pasar Dios un viento sobre la tierra, y disminuyeron las aguas.
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 Et clausi sunt fontes abyssi, et cataractæ cæli: et prohibitæ sunt pluviæ de cælo.
2 Y se cerraron las fuentes del abismo, y las cataratas de los cielos; y la lluvia de los cielos fué detenida.
2 The deep’s fountains and the sky’s windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
3 Reversæque sunt aquæ de terra euntes et redeuntes: et cœperunt minui post centum quinquaginta dies.
3 Y tornáronse las aguas de sobre la tierra, yendo y volviendo: y decrecieron las aguas al cabo de ciento y cincuenta días.
3 The waters continually receded from the earth. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters receded.
4 Requievitque arca mense septimo, vigesimo septimo die mensis, super montes Armeniæ.
4 Y reposó el arca en el mes séptimo, á diecisiete días del mes, sobre los montes de Armenia.
4 The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat’s mountains.
5 At vero aquæ ibant et decrescebant usque ad decimum mensem: decimo enim mense, primo die mensis, apparuerunt cacumina montium.
5 Y las aguas fueron decreciendo hasta el mes décimo: en el décimo, al primero del mes, se descubrieron las cimas de los montes.
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 Cumque transissent quadraginta dies, aperiens Noë fenestram arcæ, quam fecerat, dimisit corvum,
6 Y sucedió que, al cabo de cuarenta días, abrió Noé la ventana del arca que había hecho,
6 At the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
7 qui egrediebatur, et non revertebatur, donec siccarentur aquæ super terram.
7 Y envió al cuervo, el cual salió, [y estuvo] yendo y tornando hasta que las aguas se secaron de 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 Emisit quoque columbam post eum, ut videret si jam cessassent aquæ super faciem terræ.
8 Envió también de sí á la paloma, para ver si las aguas se habían retirado de sobre la faz de la tierra;
8 He himself sent out a dove to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,
9 Quæ cum non invenisset ubi requiesceret pes ejus, reversa est ad eum in arcam: aquæ enim erant super universam terram: extenditque manum, et apprehensam intulit in arcam.
9 Y no halló la paloma donde sentar la planta de su pie, y volvióse á él al arca, porque las aguas estaban [aún] sobre la faz de toda la tierra: entonces él extendió su mano, y cogiéndola, hízola entrar consigo 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 Expectatis autem ultra septem diebus aliis, rursum dimisit columbam ex arca.
10 Y esperó aún otros siete días, y volvió á enviar la paloma fuera del arca.
10 He waited yet another seven days; and again he sent the dove out of the ship.
11 At illa venit ad eum ad vesperam, portans ramum olivæ virentibus foliis in ore suo: intellexit ergo Noë quod cessassent aquæ super terram.
11 Y la paloma volvió á él á la hora de la tarde; y he aquí [que traía] una hoja de oliva tomada en su pico: y entendió Noé que las aguas se habían retirado de 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 Expectavitque nihilominus septem alios dies: et emisit columbam, quæ non est reversa ultra ad eum.
12 Y esperó aún otros siete días, y envió la paloma, la cual no volvió ya más á él.
12 He waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; and she didn’t return to him any more.
13 Igitur sexcentesimo primo anno, primo mense, prima die mensis, imminutæ sunt aquæ super terram: et aperiens Noë tectum arcæ, aspexit, viditque quod exsiccata esset superficies terræ.
13 Y sucedió que en el año seiscientos y uno [de Noé], en el mes primero, al primero del mes, las aguas se enjugaron de sobre la tierra; y quitó Noé la cubierta del arca, y miró, y he aquí que la faz de la tierra estaba enjuta.
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 Mense secundo, septimo et vigesimo die mensis arefacta est terra.
14 Y en el mes segundo, á los veintisiete días del mes, se secó la tierra.
14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
15 Locutus est autem Deus ad Noë, dicens:
15 Y habló Dios á Noé diciendo:
15 God spoke to Noah, saying,
16 Egredere de arca, tu et uxor tua, filii tui et uxores filiorum tuorum tecum.
16 Sal del arca tú, y tu mujer, y tus hijos, y las mujeres de tus hijos contigo.
16 “Go out of the ship, you, your wife, your sons, and your sons’ wives with you.
17 Cuncta animantia, quæ sunt apud te, ex omni carne, tam in volatilibus quam in bestiis et universis reptilibus, quæ reptant super terram, educ tecum, et ingredimini super terram: crescite et multiplicamini super eam.
17 Todos los animales que están contigo de toda carne, de aves y de bestias y de todo reptil que anda arrastrando sobre la tierra, sacarás contigo; y vayan por la tierra, y fructifiquen, y multiplíquense 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 Egressus est ergo Noë, et filii ejus: uxor illius, et uxores filiorum ejus cum eo.
18 Entonces salió Noé, y sus hijos, y su mujer, y las mujeres de sus hijos con él.
18 Noah went out, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives with him.
19 Sed et omnia animantia, jumenta, et reptilia quæ reptant super terram, secundum genus suum, egressa sunt de arca.
19 Todos los animales, y todo reptil y toda ave, todo lo que se mueve sobre la tierra según sus especies, salieron del arca.
19 Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
20 Ædificavit autem Noë altare Domino: et tollens de cunctis pecoribus et volucribus mundis, obtulit holocausta super altare.
20 Y edificó Noé un altar á Jehová, y tomó de todo animal limpio y de toda ave limpia, y ofreció holocausto en 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 Odoratusque est Dominus odorem suavitatis, et ait: Nequaquam ultra maledicam terræ propter homines: sensus enim et cogitatio humani cordis in malum prona sunt ab adolescentia sua: non igitur ultra percutiam omnem animam viventem sicut feci.
21 Y percibió Jehová olor de suavidad; y dijo Jehová en su corazón: No tornaré más á maldecir la tierra por causa del hombre; porque el intento del corazón del hombre es malo desde su juventud: ni volveré más á destruir todo viviente, como 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 Cunctis diebus terræ, sementis et messis, frigus et æstus, æstas et hiems, nox et dies non requiescent.
22 Todavía serán todos los tiempos de la tierra; la sementera y la siega, y el frío y calor, verano é invierno, y día y noche, no cesarán.
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.
