וּדְכִיר יְיָ בְּמֵימְרֵיהּ יַת נחַ וְיַת כָּל חַיְתָא וְיַת כָּל בְּעִירָא דְעִמֵיהּ בְּתֵיבוּתָא וְאַעֲבֵר יְיָ רוּחַ רַחֲמִין עַל אַרְעָא וְאִשְׁתַּדְכוּ מַיָא And the Lord in His Word remembered Noah, and all the animals and the cattle which were with him in the ark; and the Lord caused the wind of mercies to pass over the earth, and the waters were dried.
וְאִסְתַּגְרוּ מַבּוּעֵי תְּהוֹמָא וַחֲרַכֵּי שְׁמַיָא וְאִתְמְנַע מִטְרָא מִלְמֵיחַת מִן שְׁמַיָא And the fountains of the deep were shut up, and the windows of heaven, and the rain was forbidden to descend from heaven.
וּתְאִיבוּ מַיָא מֵעֲלוֹי אַרְעָא אָזְלִין וְתַיְיבִין וְחָסְרוּ מַיָא מִסוֹף מְאָה וְחַמְשִׁין יוֹמִין And the waters returned from being on the earth, going and returning. And the waters were minished at the end of a hundred and fifty days.
וּנְחַת תֵּיבוּתָא בְּיַרְחָא שְׁבִיעָאָה הוּא יַרְחָא דְנִיסָן בְּשֶׁבְסְרֵי יוֹמִין לְיַרְחָא עַל טַוְורֵי דְקַדְרוֹן שׁוּם טַוְורָא חַד קַרְדַנְיָא וְשׁוּם טַוְורָא חַד אַרְמִינְיָא וְתַּמָן מִתְבַּנְיָא קַרְתָּא דְאַרְמַנְיָא בְּאַרְעָא מַדִינְחָא And the ark rested in the seventh month, which is the month of Nisan, in the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Qadron; the name of the one mountain is Qardania, and the name of the other mountain Irmenia; and there was builded the city of Armenia in the land of the east.
וּמַיָא הֲווֹ אָזְלִין וְחַסְרִין עַד יָרַח עֲשִירִיִי יֶרַח תַּמוּז בְּתַמוּז בְּחַד לְיַרְחָא אִתְחֲמִיאוּ רֵישֵׁי טוּרַיָא And the waters went and diminished until the tenth month, the month Tammuz. In Tammuz, in the first of the month, the heads of the mountains were seen.
וַהֲוָה מִסוֹף אַרְבְּעִין יוֹמִין וּפְתַח נחַ יַת כַּוַות תֵּיבוּתָא דְעָבַד And it was at the end of forty days, and Noah opened the aperture of the ark which he had made.
וְשָׁדַר יַת עוֹרְבָא וּנְפַק מֵיפַק וְתָאֵיב עַד דִיבִיאִישׁוּ מַיָא מֵעִילוֹי אַרְעָא And he sent out a raven; and it went forth, going forth and returning, until the waters had dried from the earth.
וְשַׁדַר יַת יוֹנְתָא דְבַּיְיתָא מִלְוָותֵיהּ לְמֶחֱמֵי אִין אִתְקוֹלָלוּ מַיָא מֵעִילוֹי אַנְפָּא אַרְעָא And he sent forth a house-dove from being with him, to see whether the waters were lightened from off the faces of the earth.
וְלָא אַשְׁכַּחַת יוֹנְתָא נַיְיחָא לְפַרְסַת רִיגְלָהּ וְתָבַת לְוָתֵיהּ לְתֵיבוּתָא וְאוֹדָעַת אֲרוּם מוֹי עַל אַנְפֵּי כָּל אַרְעָא וְאוֹשִׁיט יְדֵיהּ וּנְסֵיבְתָּהּ וְאָעֵיל יָתָהּ לְוָתֵיהּ לְתֵיבוּתָא And the dove found no rest for the sole of the foot, and returned unto him to the ark; and he knew that the waters were (yet) upon the face of all the earth. And he reached out his hand, and took and brought her unto him into the ark.
וְאוֹרִיךְ תּוּב שׁוּבְעָא יוֹמִין וְאוֹסִיף לְשַׁדְרָא יַת יוֹנָתָא מִן תֵּיבָתָא And he prolonged (waited) yet seven days, and again he sent the dove from the ark.
וְאָתַת לְוָתֵיהּ יוֹנָתָא לְעִדוּנָא רַמְשָׁא וְהָא טַרְפָא דְזֵיתָא לָקִיט תִּבִיר וּמְחִית בְּפוּמָהּ דִנְסַבְתֵּיהּ מִן טַוָור מִישְׁחָא וִידַע נחַ אֲרוּם אִיתְקוֹלָלוּ מַיָא מֵעִילוֹי אַרְעָא And the dove came to him at the evening time, and, behold, a leaf of olive gathered, broken off, she brought in her mouth, and which she had taken from the Mount of the Meshiha. And Noah understood that the waters had lightened from being on the earth.
וְאוֹרִיךְ תּוּב שׁוּבְעָא יוֹמִין וְאוֹסִיף לְשַׁדְרָא יַת יוֹנָתָא וְלָא אוֹסִיפַת לְמֵיתַב לְוָתֵיהּ תּוּב And he prolonged yet seven days, and added to send forth the dove; but she added not to return to him again.
וַהֲוָה בְּשִׁית מְאָה וַחֲדָא שְׁנִין בְּתִּשְׁרִי בְּחַד לְיַרְחָא בְּרֵישׁ שַׁתָּא נְגוּבוּ מַיָא מֵעַל אַרְעָא וְאַעֲדֵי נחַ יַת חוֹפָאָה דְתֵיבוּתָא וַחֲמָא וְהָא נִגוּבוּ אַפֵּי אַרְעָא And it was in the six hundred and first year, in Tishri, in the first of the month, in the beginning of the year, that the waters were dried from upon the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark, and saw the faces of the ground to be dried.
וּבְיֶרַח מַרְחֶשְׁוָן בְּעַשְרִין וְשׁוּבְעָה יוֹמִין לְיַרְחָא אִיתְיַבְּשַׁת אַרְעָא And in the month Marchesvan, in the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
וּמַלֵיל יְיָ עִם נחַ לְמֵימָר And the Lord spake with Noah, saying:
פּוּק מִן תֵּיבוּתָא אַנְתְּ וְאִנְתְּתָךְ וּבְנָךְ וּנְשֵׁי בְנָךְ עִמָךְ Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and the wives of thy sons, with thee.
כָּל חַיְתָא דְעִמָךְ מִכָּל בִּשְרָא בְּעוֹפָא וּבִבְעִירָא וּבְכָל רִיחֲשָׁא דַרְחֵישׁ עַל אַרְעָא הַנְפֵּק עִמָךְ וְיִתְיַלְדוּן בְּאַרְעָא וְיִפְשׁוּן וְיִסְגוּן עַל אַרְעָא Every living animal that is with thee of all flesh, of fowl, of cattle, and of every reptile that creepeth on the earth, bring forth with thee, that they may produce in the earth, and spread abroad and multiply on the earth.
וּנְפַק נחַ וּבְנוֹי וְאִנְתְּתֵיהּ וּנְשֵׁי בְנוֹי עִמֵיהּ And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and the wives of his sons, with him.
כָּל חַיְתָא כָּל רִיחֲשָׁא וְכָל עוֹפָא דִרְחִישׁ עַל אַרְעָא לְזַרְעֲיַתְהוֹן נְפָקוּ מִן תֵּיבוּתָא Every animal, every reptile, and every bird, which moveth upon the earth, according to its seed, went forth from the ark.
וּבְנָא נחַ מַדְבְּחָא קֳדָם יְיָ הוּא מַדְבְּחָא דְבָנָא אָדָם בְּעִידָן דְאִיטְרַד מִן גִנְתָא דְעֵדֶן וְאַקְרִיב עֲלוֹי קָרְבָּנָא וְעִלוֹי אַקְרִיבוּ קַיִן וְהֶבֶל יַת קָרְבָּנֵיהוֹן וְכַד נַחְתוּ מוֹי דְטוֹבְעָנָא אִיתְצַד וּבַנְיֵיהּ נחַ וְנָסָב מִכָּל בְּעִירָא דַכְיָא וּמִן כָּל עוֹף דְכֵי וְאַסֵיק אַרְבַּע עַל הַהוּא מַדְבְּחָא And Noah builded the altar before the Lord; that altar which Adam had builded in the time when he was cast forth from the garden of Eden, and had offered an oblation upon it; and upon it had Kain and Habel offered their oblations. But when the waters of the deluge descended, it was destroyed, and Noah rebuilded it; and he took of all clean cattle, and of all clean fowl, and sacrificed four upon that altar. And the Lord accepted his oblation with favour:
וְקַבֵּל יְיָ בְּרַעֲוָא קוּרְבָנֵיהּ וַאֲמַר יְיָ בְּמֵימְרֵיהּ לָא אוֹסִיף לְמֵילִיט תּוּב יַת אַרְעָא בְּגִין חוֹבֵי בְּנֵי אֱנָשָׁא אֲרוּם יִצְרָא דְלִבָּא דְאֵינָשָׁא בִּישׁ מִטַלְיוּתֵיהּ וְלָא אוֹסִיף תּוּב לְמִמְחֵי יַת כָּל דְחַי הֵיכְמָא דְעוֹבָדִית and the Lord said in His Word, I will not add again to curse the earth on account of the sin of the children of men; for the imagination of the heart of man is evil from his youth; neither will I add to destroy whatever liveth as I have done.
עוֹד כָּל יוֹמֵי אַרְעָא דְרוֹעָא בִּתְקוּפַת תִּשְׁרֵי וַחֲצָדָא בִּתְקוּפַת נִיסָן וְקוֹרָא בִּתְקוּפַת טֵבַת וְחוֹמָא בִּתְקוּפַת תַּמוּז וְקַיְטָא וְסִתְוָא וִימָמֵי וְלֵילֵי לָא יִתְבַּטְלוּן Until all the days of the earth, sowing in the season of Tishri, and harvest in the season of Nisan, and coldness in the season of Tebeth, and warmth in the season of Tammuz, and summer and winter, and days and nights shall not fail.
