1 And the LORD said to Noah, Come thou and all thy house 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 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that [are] not clean by two, the male and his 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 Of fowls of the air also by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive on the face of 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, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights: and every living substance that I have made will I destroy 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 Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.
5 E hizo Noé conforme á todo lo que le mandó Jehová.
6 And Noah [was] six hundred years old when the flood of waters was on the earth.
6 Y siendo Noé de seiscientos años, el diluvio de las aguas fué sobre la tierra.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives 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 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that [are] not clean, and of fowls, and of every animal that creepeth 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 There went in two and two to Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
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 seven days, that the waters of the flood were 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 Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows 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 In the same day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, 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 after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping animal that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
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 And they went in to Noah into the ark, two and two 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 had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
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 bore up the ark, and it was lifted above 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 waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth: and the ark moved upon the face of 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 exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills that [were] 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 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail: and the mountains were covered.
20 Quince codos en alto prevalecieron las aguas; y fueron cubiertos los montes.
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping animal that creepeth 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 All in whose nostrils [was] the breath of life, of all that [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 every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping animals, and the fowl of heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth; and Noah only remained [alive], 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.
