New Living Translation

1The LORD then said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation.

1When everything was ready, the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the boat with all your family, for among all the people of the earth, I can see that you alone are righteous.

2Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate,

2Take with you seven pairs—male and female—of each animal I have approved for eating and for sacrifice, and take one pair of each of the others.

3and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.

3Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird. There must be a male and a female in each pair to ensure that all life will survive on the earth after the flood.

4Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made."

4Seven days from now I will make the rains pour down on the earth. And it will rain for forty days and forty nights, until I have wiped from the earth all the living things I have created.”

5And Noah did all that the LORD commanded him.

5So Noah did everything as the LORD commanded him.

6Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth.

6Noah was 600 years old when the flood covered the earth.

7And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.

7He went on board the boat to escape the flood—he and his wife and his sons and their wives.

8Pairs of clean and unclean animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground,

8With them were all the various kinds of animals—those approved for eating and for sacrifice and those that were not—along with all the birds and the small animals that scurry along the ground.

9male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah.

9They entered the boat in pairs, male and female, just as God had commanded Noah.

10And after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth.

10After seven days, the waters of the flood came and covered the earth.

11In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month--on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.

11When Noah was 600 years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the underground waters erupted from the earth, and the rain fell in mighty torrents from the sky.

12And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights.

12The rain continued to fall for forty days and forty nights.

13On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark.

13That very day Noah had gone into the boat with his wife and his sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—and their wives.

14They had with them every wild animal according to its kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind and every bird according to its kind, everything with wings.

14With them in the boat were pairs of every kind of animal—domestic and wild, large and small—along with birds of every kind.

15Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark.

15Two by two they came into the boat, representing every living thing that breathes.

16The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in.

16A male and female of each kind entered, just as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD closed the door behind them.

17For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth.

17For forty days the floodwaters grew deeper, covering the ground and lifting the boat high above the earth.

18The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water.

18As the waters rose higher and higher above the ground, the boat floated safely on the surface.

19They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered.

19Finally, the water covered even the highest mountains on the earth,

20The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits.

20rising more than twenty-two feet above the highest peaks.

21Every living thing that moved on land perished--birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind.

21All the living things on earth died—birds, domestic animals, wild animals, small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the people.

22Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.

22Everything that breathed and lived on dry land died.

23Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.

23God wiped out every living thing on the earth—people, livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and the birds of the sky. All were destroyed. The only people who survived were Noah and those with him in the boat.

24The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days.

24And the floodwaters covered the earth for 150 days.
