YLT Young's Literal Translation

RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 And Jehovah saith to Noah, 'Come in, thou and all thy house, unto the ark, for thee I have 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 all the clean beasts thou dost take to thee seven pairs, a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean two, a male and its 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 also, of fowl of the heavens seven pairs, a male and a female, to keep alive seed 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 after other seven days I am sending rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.'

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 doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him:

5 E hizo Noé conforme á todo lo que le mandó Jehová.

6 and Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the deluge of waters hath been upon the earth.

6 Y siendo Noé de seiscientos años, el diluvio de las aguas fué sobre la tierra.

7 And Noah goeth in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, unto the ark, from the presence of the waters of the deluge;

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 the clean beasts and of the beasts that [are] not clean, and of the fowl, and of every thing that is creeping upon 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,

9 two by two they have come in unto Noah, unto the ark, a male and a female, as God hath commanded Noah.

9 De dos en dos entraron á Noé en el arca: macho y hembra, como mandó Dios á Noé.

10 And it cometh to pass, after the seventh of the days, that waters of the deluge have been on 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 Noah, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in this day have been broken up all fountains of the great deep, and the net-work of the heavens hath been 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 shower is on the earth forty days and forty nights.

12 Y hubo lluvia sobre la tierra cuarenta días y cuarenta noches.

13 In this self-same day went in Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, sons of Noah, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them, unto 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 living creature after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind, every bird — every wing.

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 come in unto Noah, unto the ark, two by two of all the flesh in which [is] a living spirit;

15 Y vinieron á Noé al arca, de dos en dos de toda carne en que había espíritu de vida.

16 and they that are coming in, male and female of all flesh, have come in as God hath commanded him, and Jehovah doth close [it] for him.

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 deluge is forty days on the earth, and the waters multiply, and lift up the ark, and it is raised up from off 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 are mighty, and multiply exceedingly upon the earth; and the ark goeth on 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 have been very very mighty on the earth, and covered are all the high mountains which [are] under the whole heavens;

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 upwards have the waters become mighty, and the mountains are covered;

20 Quince codos en alto prevalecieron las aguas; y fueron cubiertos los montes.

21 and expire doth all flesh that is moving on the earth, among fowl, and among cattle, and among beasts, and among all the teeming things which are teeming on the earth, and all mankind;

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 [is] breath of a living spirit — of all that [is] in the dry land — have 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 wiped away is all the substance that is on the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens; yea, they are wiped away from the earth, and only Noah is left, and those who [are] 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 are mighty on 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).

Quotes verse 7:10 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XV, Chapters 13–14)
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?

Quotes verse 7:20 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm XC)
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.
