Genesis, chapter 7, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 7 Vulgate

   1 Dixitque Dominus ad Noe: "Ingredere tu et omnis domus tua arcam; te enim vidi iustum coram me in generatione hac.
   2 Ex omnibus pecoribus mundis tolle septena septena, masculum et feminam; de pecoribus vero non mundis duo duo, masculum et feminam.
   3 Sed et de volatilibus caeli septena septena, masculum et feminam, ut salvetur semen super faciem universae terrae.
   4 Adhuc enim et post dies septem ego pluam super terram quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus et delebo omnem substantiam, quam feci, de superficie terrae"
   5 Fecit ergo Noe omnia, quae mandaverat ei Dominus.
   6 Eratque Noe sescentorum annorum, quando diluvii aquae inundaverunt super terram.
   7 Et ingressus est Noe et filii eius, uxor eius et uxores filiorum eius cum eo in arcam propter aquas diluvii.
   8 De pecoribus mundis et immundis et de volucribus et ex omni, quod movetur super terram,
   9 duo et duo ingressa sunt ad Noe in arcam, masculus et femina, sicut praeceperat Deus Noe.
   10 Cumque transissent septem dies, aquae diluvii inundaverunt super terram.
   11 Anno sescentesimo vitae Noe, mense secundo, septimo decimo die mensis rupti sunt omnes fontes abyssi magnae, et cataractae caeli apertae sunt;
   12 et facta est pluvia super terram quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus.
   13 In articulo diei illius ingressus est Noe et Sem et Cham et Iapheth filii eius, uxor illius et tres uxores filiorum eius cum eis in arcam.
   14 Ipsi et omne animal secundum genus suum, universaque iumenta in genere suo, et omne reptile, quod movetur super terram in genere suo, cunctumque volatile secundum genus suum, universae aves omnesque volucres
   15 ingressae sunt ad Noe in arcam, bina et bina ex omni carne, in qua erat spiritus vitae.
   16 Et quae ingressa sunt, masculus et femina ex omni carne introierunt, sicut praeceperat ei Deus; et inclusit eum Dominus de foris.
   17 Factumque est diluvium quadraginta diebus super terram, et multiplicatae sunt aquae et elevaverunt arcam in sublime a terra.
   18 Vehementer enim inundaverunt et omnia repleverunt in superficie terrae; porro arca ferebatur super aquas.
   19 Et aquae praevaluerunt nimis super terram, opertique sunt omnes montes excelsi sub universo caelo.
   20 Quindecim cubitis altior fuit aqua super montes, quos operuerat.
   21 Consumptaque est omnis caro, quae movebatur super terram, volucrum, pecorum, bestiarum omniumque reptilium, quae reptant super terram, et universi homines:
   22 cuncta, in quibus spiraculum vitae in terra, mortua sunt.
   23 Et delevit omnem substantiam, quae erat super terram, ab homine usque ad pecus, usque ad reptile et usque ad volucres caeli; et deleta sunt de terra. Remansit autem solus Noe et qui cum eo erant in arca.
   24 Obtinueruntque aquae terram centum quinquaginta diebus.

King James Version

   1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
   2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
   3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
   4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
   5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
   6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
   7 ¶ And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
   8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
   9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
   10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
   11 ¶ In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
   12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
   13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
   14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
   15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
   16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
   17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
   18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
   19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
   20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
   21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
   22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
   23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
   24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
