8 — Genesi

1And God remembered Noe, and all the living creatures, and all the cattle which were with him in the ark, and brought a wind upon the earth, and the waters were abated:Ma il Signore ricordandosi di Noè, e di tutti gli animali, e di tutti i giumenti che erano con esso nell'arca, mandò il vento sopra la terra, e le acque diminuirono.AND God remembred Noe, and al the beasts, and al the cattle, which were with him in the arke, and brought a winde vpon the earth, and the waters decreased.Recordatus autem Deus Noë, cunctorumque animantium, et omnium jumentorum, quæ erant cum eo in arca, adduxit spiritum super terram, et imminutæ sunt aquæ. 2The fountains also of the deep, and the floodgates of heaven, were shut up, and the rain from heaven was restrained.E furon chiuse le sorgenti del grande abisso, e le cataratte del cielo; e furono vietate le pioggie dal cielo.And the sountaines of the depth, and the floud gates of heauen, were shut vp: and the rayne from heauen was stayd.Et clausi sunt fontes abyssi, et cataractæ cæli: et prohibitæ sunt pluviæ de cælo. 3And the waters returned from off the earth going and coming: and they began to be abated after a hundred and fifty days.E le acque andando, e venendo si partivano dalla terra: e principiarono a scemare dopo cento cinquanta giorni.And the waters returned from the earth going & comming: and they begane to decrease after a hundred fiftie dayes.Reversæque sunt aquæ de terra euntes et redeuntes: et cœperunt minui post centum quinquaginta dies. 4And the ark rested in the seventh month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, upon the mountains of Armenia.E l'arca si posò il settimo mese a' ventisette del mese sopra i monti d'Armenia.And the arke rested the seauenth moneth, the seauen & twentith day of the moneth vpon the mountaines of Armenia.Requievitque arca mense septimo, vigesimo septimo die mensis, super montes Armeniæ. 5And the waters were going and decreasing until the tenth month: for in the tenth month, the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.E le acque andavano scemando sino al decimo mese: perocché il decimo mese, il primo giorno del mese, si scoprirono le vette dei monti.But the waters for al that were going and decreasing vntil the tenth moneth: for in the tenth moneth, the first day of the moneth, the topps of the mountaines appeared.At vero aquæ ibant et decrescebant usque ad decimum mensem: decimo enim mense, primo die mensis, apparuerunt cacumina montium.

6And after that forty days were passed, Noe opening the window of the ark, which he had made, sent forth a raven:E passati quaranta giorni, Noè, aperta la finestra, che avea fatta all'arca, mandò fuori il corvo:And after that fourtie dayes were passed, Noe opening the windowe of the arke, which he had made, let forth a crowe:Cumque transissent quadraginta dies, aperiens Noë fenestram arcæ, quam fecerat, dimisit corvum, 7Which went forth and did not return, till the waters were dried up upon the earth.Il quale uscì, e non tornò fino a tanto che le acque fosser seccate sulla terra.which went forth, and did not returne, til the waters were dried vpon the earth.qui egrediebatur, et non revertebatur, donec siccarentur aquæ super terram. 8He sent forth also a dove after him, to see if the waters had now ceased upon the face of the earth.Mandò ancora dopo di lui la colomba, per vedere se fossero finite le acque sopra la faccia della terra.He sent forth also a doue after him, to see if the waters were ceased yet vpon the face of the earth.Emisit quoque columbam post eum, ut videret si jam cessassent aquæ super faciem terræ. 9But she not finding where her foot might rest, returned to him into the ark: for the waters were upon the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and caught her, and brought her into the ark.La quale non avendo trovato, ove fermare il suo piede, tornò a lui nell'arca: perocché per tutta la terra eran le acque; ed egli stese la mano, e presala la mise dentro l'arca.Which finding not where her foote might rest, returned to him into the arke: for the waters were vpon the whole earth: and he stretched forth his hand, and caught her and brought her into the arke.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. 10And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove out of the ark.E avendo aspettato sette altri giorni, mandò di nuovo la colomba fuori dell'arca.And hauing expected yet seauen moe dayes, againe he let forth a doue out of the arke.Expectatis autem ultra septem diebus aliis, rursum dimisit columbam ex arca. 11And she came to him in the evening carrying a bough of an olive tree, with green leaves, in her mouth. Noe therefore understood that the waters were ceased upon the earth.Ma ella tornò a lui alla sera, portando in bocca un ramo di ulivo con verdi foglie. Intese adunque Noè, come le acque erano cessate sopra la terra.But she came to him at euentide, carrying a bough of an oliue tree, that had greene leaues in her mouth. Noe therfore vnderstood that the waters were ceased vpon the earth.At illa venit ad eum ad vesperam, portans ramum olivæ virentibus foliis in ore suo: intellexit ergo Noë quod cessassent aquæ super terram.

12And he stayed yet other seven days: and he sent forth the dove, which returned not any more unto him.E aspettò nondimeno sette altri giorni, e rimandò la colomba, la quale più non tornò a lui.And he expected yet neuertheles other seauen dayes: and he sent forth a doue, which returned not any more vnto him.Expectavitque nihilominus septem alios dies: et emisit columbam, quæ non est reversa ultra ad eum. 13Therefore in the six hundredth and first year, the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were lessened upon the earth, and Noe opening the covering of the ark, looked, and saw that the face of the earth was dried.L'anno adunque secentesimo primo di Noè, il primo mese, il dì primo del mese, le acque lasciaron la terra: e Noè avendo scoperchiato il tetto dell'arca mirò, e vide, che la superficie della terra era asciutta.Therfore in the sixt hundred and one yeare, the first moneth, the first day of the moneth the waters were cleane diminished vpon the earth: and Noe opening the roofe of the arke, looked, and sawe that the face of the earth was dried.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. 14In the second month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth was dried.Il secondo mese, a' ventisette del mese, la terra rimase arida.In the second moneth, the seuen & twentyth day of the moneth the earth was dried.Mense secundo, septimo et vigesimo die mensis arefacta est terra. 15And God spoke to Noe, saying:E Dio parlò a Noè, dicendo:And God spake to Noe, saying:Locutus est autem Deus ad Noë, dicens: 16Go out of the ark, thou and thy wife, thy sons and the wives of thy sons with thee.Esci dall'arca tu, e la tua moglie, i tuoi figliuoli e le mogli de' tuoi figliuoli con te.Goe forth of the arke, thou & thy wife, thy sonnes and the wiues of thy sonnes with thee.Egredere de arca, tu et uxor tua, filii tui et uxores filiorum tuorum tecum. 17All living things that are with thee of all flesh, as well in fowls as in beasts, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, bring out with thee, and go ye upon the earth: increase and multiply upon it.Conduci teco fuori tutti gli animali, che sono insieme con te, di ogni genere, tanto volatili, che bestie, e rettili, che strisciano sulla terra, e scendete sulla terra: Crescete e moltiplicate.Al cattle, that are with thee of al flesh, as wel in soules, as in beastes, & al creepers, that creepe vpon the earth, bring out with thee, & goe yee vpon the earth: increase and multiplie vpon it.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.

18So Noe went out, he and his sons: his wife, and the wives of his sons with him.E uscì Noè, e con esso i figliuoli di lui, e la sua moglie, e le mogli de' suoi figliuoli.Noe therfore went forth, and his sonnes: his wife, and the wiues of his sonnes with him.Egressus est ergo Noë, et filii ejus: uxor illius, et uxores filiorum ejus cum eo. 19And all living things, and cattle, and creeping things that creep upon the earth, according to their kinds went out of the ark.E tutti ancora gli animali, e le bestie e i rettili, che strisciano sulla terra, secondo la loro specie, uscirono dell'arca.Yea and al cattle, beastes, and creepers that crepe vpon the earth, according to their kinde, went sorth out of the arke.Sed et omnia animantia, jumenta, et reptilia quæ reptant super terram, secundum genus suum, egressa sunt de arca. 20And Noe built an altar unto the Lord: and taking of all cattle and fowls that were clean, offered holocausts upon the altar.E Noè edificò un altare al Signore: e prendendo di tutte le bestie, e uccelli mondi, gli offerì in olocausto sopra l'altare.And Noe built an Altar to our Lord: and taking of al cattle and foules that were cleane, offered Holocausts vpon the Altar.Ædificavit autem Noë altare Domino: et tollens de cunctis pecoribus et volucribus mundis, obtulit holocausta super altare. 21And the Lord smelled a sweet savour, and said: I will no more curse the earth for the sake of man: for the imagination and thought of man’s heart are prone to evil from his youth: therefore I will no more destroy every living soul as I have done.E il Signore gradì il soave odore, e disse: Io non maledirò mai più la terra per le colpe degli uomini: perocché la mente, e i pensieri degli uomini sono inclinati al male fin dall'adolescenza: io adunque non manderò più flagello sopra tutti i viventi, come ho fatto.And our Lord smelled a sweete sauour, and said: I wil no more curse the earth for men: for the sense and cogitation of mans hart are prone to euil from their youth: I wil no more therfore strike euerie liuing soule as I haue done.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. 22All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, shall not cease.Per tutti i giorni della terra non mancherà giammai la semenza e la messe, il freddo e il calore, l'estate e il verno, la notte e il giorno.Al the dayes of the earth, seedtime and haruest, cold and heate, sommer and winter, night and day shal not rest.Cunctis diebus terræ, sementis et messis, frigus et æstus, æstas et hiems, nox et dies non requiescent.
