故當時之世、為水氾濫而沒、

及洪水汜濫、人物淪喪、

當時之世、亦為水所滅、即在洪水汎濫之時也、

厥後洪水氾濫、載胥及溺、亦憑天主之言。

By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.

God did not spare the world’s ungodly people long ago. He brought the flood on them. But Noah preached about the right way to live. God kept him safe. He also saved seven others.

People were eating and drinking. They were getting married. They were giving their daughters to be married. They did all those things right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

In the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking. They were getting married. They were giving their daughters to be married. They did all those things right up to the day Noah entered the ark.They knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be when the Son of Man comes.

After seven days the flood came on the earth.Noah was 600 years old. It was the 17th day of the second month of the year. On that day all of the springs at the bottom of the oceans burst open. God opened the windows of the sky.Rain fell on the earth for 40 days and 40 nights.On that same day Noah entered the ark together with his sons Shem, Ham and Japheth. Noah’s wife and the wives of his three sons also entered it.They had every kind of wild animal with them. They had every kind of livestock, creature that moves along the ground, and bird that flies.Pairs of all living creatures that breathe came to Noah and entered the ark.The animals going in were male and female of every living thing. Everything happened just as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord shut him in.For 40 days the flood kept coming on the earth. As the waters rose higher, they lifted the ark high above the earth.The waters rose higher and higher on the earth. And the ark floated on the water.The waters rose on the earth until all the high mountains under the entire sky were covered.The waters continued to rise until they covered the mountains by more than 20 feet.Every living thing that moved on land died. The birds, the livestock and the wild animals died. All of the creatures that fill the earth also died. And so did every human being.Every breathing thing on dry land died.Every living thing on earth was wiped out. People and animals were destroyed. The creatures that move along the ground and the birds in the sky were wiped out. Everything on earth was destroyed. Only Noah and those with him in the ark were left.

If he holds back the water, everything dries up. If he lets the water loose, it floods the land.

Then I will remember my covenant between me and you and every kind of living creature. The waters will never again become a flood to destroy all life.
