看哪!我要使洪水泛滥在地上,毁灭天下。凡地上有血肉,有气息的活物,无一不死。 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
我却要与你立约,你同你的妻,与儿子,儿妇,都要进入方舟。 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
凡有血肉的活物,每样两个,一公一母,你要带进方舟,好在你那里保全生命。 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
飞鸟各从其类,牲畜各从其类,地上的昆虫各从其类。每样两个,要到你那里,好保全生命。 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
