וַאֲמַר יְיָ לְנֹחַ עוּל אַתְּ וְכָל אֱנַשׁ בֵּיתָךְ לְתֵבוֹתָא אֲרֵי יָתָךְ חֲזֵיתִי זַכַּאי קֳדָמַי בְּדָרָא הָדֵין:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Adonoy said to Noach, Come into the ark, you and your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before Me, in this generation.

מִכֹּל בְּעִירָא דַכְיָא תִּסַּב לָךְ שַׁבְעָא שַׁבְעָא דְּכַר וְנָקְבָּא וּמִן בְּעִירָא דִּלָא (אִיתָהָא) דַכְיָא הִיא תְּרֵין דְּכַר וְנָקְבָּא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Of every [ritually] clean animal, take to yourself seven pairs, male and its mate [female]. Of every animal that is not clean, [take] two, the male and its mate [female].

אַף מֵעוֹפָא דִשְׁמַיָּא שַׁבְעָא שַׁבְעָא דְּכַר וְנָקְבָּא לְקַיָּמָא זַרְעָא עַל אַפֵּי כָל אַרְעָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Also of the birds of the heaven, [take] seven pairs, male and female; to keep seed alive upon the face of the earth.

אֲרֵי לִזְמַן יוֹמִין עוֹד שַׁבְעָא אֲנָא מָחֵת מִטְרָא עַל אַרְעָא אַרְבְּעִין יְמָמִין וְאַרְבְּעִין לֵילָוָן וְאֶמְחֵי יָת כָּל יְקוּמָא דִי עַבְדַת מֵעַל אַפֵּי אַרְעָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Because in another [at the completion of another] seven days I will bring rain [I will cause rain to descend] on the earth [and it will rain] forty days and forty nights, and I will obliterate every living substance that I have made, from the face of the earth.

וַעֲבַד נֹחַ כְּכֹל דִּי פַקְּדֵיהּ יְיָ:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Noach did all that Adonoy commanded him.

וְנֹחַ בַּר שִׁתְּ מְאָה שְׁנִין וְטוֹפָנָא הֲוָה מַיָּא עַל אַרְעָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Noach was six hundred years old when the flood waters were on the earth.

וְעָאל נֹחַ וּבְנוֹהִי וְאִתְּתֵיהּ וּנְשֵׁי בְנוֹהִי עִמֵּיהּ לְתֵבוֹתָא מִן קֳדָם מֵי טוֹפָנָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Noach went in, and his sons, his wife, and his son’s wives, with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the Flood.

מִן בְּעִירָא דַּכְיָא וּמִן בְּעִירָא דִּי לֵיתָהָא דַּכְיָא וּמִן עוֹפָא וְכֹל דִּי רָחֵשׁ עַל אַרְעָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Of the [ritually] clean animals, and the animals that are not [ritually] clean, of the birds, and of every thing that creeps on the earth.

תְּרֵין תְּרֵין עַלּוּ לְוַת נֹחַ לְתֵבוֹתָא דְּכַר וְנָקְבָּא כְּמָא דִי פַקֵּיד יְיָ יָת נֹחַ:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Two by two they came to Noach into the ark, male and female, as Elohim had commanded Noach.

וַהֲוָה לִזְמַן שִׁבְעַת יוֹמִין וּמֵי טוֹפָנָא הֲווֹ עַל אַרְעָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Seven [complete] days had passed, and the flood waters were on the earth.

בִּשְׁנַת שִׁתְּ מְאָה שְׁנִין לְחַיֵּי נֹחַ בְּיַרְחָא תִּנְיָנָא בְּשִׁבְעַת עַשְׂרָא יוֹמָא לְיַרְחָא בְּיוֹמָא הָדֵין אִתְבְּזָעוּ כָּל מַבּוּעֵי תְּהוֹמָא רַבָּא וְכַוֵּי שְׁמַיָּא אִתְפַּתָּחוּ:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

In the six hundredth year of Noach’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day, all the wellsprings of the great deep, burst open, and the windows of the heavens were opened.

וַהֲוָה מִטְרָא נָחַת עַל אַרְעָא אַרְבְּעִין יְמָמִין וְאַרְבְּעִין לֵילָוָן:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

There was rain [descending] on the earth forty days and forty nights.

בִּכְרַן יוֹמָא הָדֵין עָל נֹחַ וְשֵׁם וְחָם וָיֶפֶת בְּנֵי נֹחַ וְאִתַּת נֹחַ וּתְלָתָא נְשֵׁי בְנוֹהִי עִמְּהוֹן לְתֵבוֹתָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

On that very day, Noach came along with Sheim, Cham, and Yafes, the sons of Noach; Noach’s wife and the three wives of his sons, with them, into the ark.

אִנּוּן וְכָל חַיְתָא לִזְנַהּ וְכָל בְּעִירָא לִזְנַהּ וְכָל רִחֲשָׁא דְּרָחֵשׁ עַל אַרְעָא לִזְנוֹהִי וְכָל עוֹפָא לִזְנוֹהִי כֹּל צִפַּר כָּל דְּפָרָח:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

They, and every beast of its kind, and every animal of its kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth of its kind; and every flying creature of its kind, every bird, every winged creature [every one that flies].

וְעַלּוּ עִם נֹחַ לְתֵבוֹתָא תְּרֵין תְּרֵין מִכָּל בִּשְׂרָא דִי בֵיהּ רוּחָא דְחַיֵי:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

They came to [with] Noach, to the ark, two by two of all the flesh in which there was a breath of life.

וְעָלַיָּא דְּכַר וְנָקְבָּא מִכָּל בִּשְׂרָא עַלּוּ כְּמָא דִי פַקֵּיד יָתֵיהּ יְיָ וַאֲגֵן יְיָ (בְּמֵימְרֵיהּ) עֲלוֹהִי:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Those that came were male and female, of all flesh they came, as Elohim had commanded him. Adonoy then [protectively] shut him in [the ark.] [Adonoy protected him.]

וַהֲוָה טוֹפָנָא אַרְבְּעִין יוֹמִין עַל אַרְעָא וּסְגִיאוּ מַיָּא וּנְטָלוּ יָת תֵּבוֹתָא וְאִתָּרָמַת מֵעַל אַרְעָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

There was a Flood on the earth for forty days. The waters increased and lifted the ark, and it rose [high] above the earth.

וּתְקִיפוּ מַיָּא וּסְגִיאוּ לַחֲדָא עַל אַרְעָא וּמְהַלְּכָא תֵבוֹתָא עַל אַפֵּי מַיָּא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

The waters were powerful and increased greatly over the earth, and the ark moved on the surface of the waters.

וּמַיָּא תְּקִיפוּ לַחֲדָא לַחֲדָא עַל אַרְעָא וְאִתְחֲפִיאוּ כָּל טוּרַיָּא רָמַיָּא דִּי תְחוֹת כָּל שְׁמַיָּא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

The waters were very powerful over the earth, and they covered all the high mountains which were under all the heavens.

חֲמֵשׁ עַשְׂרֵה אַמִּין מִלְעֵלָּא תְּקִיפוּ מַיָּא וְאִתְחֲפִיאוּ טוּרַיָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Fifteen amohs above them [the mountains] did the waters prevail and they covered the mountains.

וּמִית כָּל בִּשְׂרָא דְּרָחֵשׁ עַל אַרְעָא בְּעוֹפָא וּבִבְעִירָא וּבְחַיְתָא וּבְכָל רִחֲשָׁא דְּרָחֵשׁ עַל אַרְעָא וְכֹל אֱנָשָׁא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

All flesh that moved on the earth perished; birds, animals, beasts, and all creeping creatures that creep on the earth and every man.

כֹּל דִּי נִשְׁמְתָא רוּחָא דְּחַיִּין בְּאַנְפוֹהִי מִכֹּל דִּי בְּיַבֶּשְׁתָּא מִיתוּ:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

All that has a breath of the spirit of life—everything on dry land—died.

וּמְחָא יָת כָּל יְקוּמָא דִּי עַל אַפֵּי אַרְעָא מֵאֱנָשָׁא עַד בְּעִירָא עַד רִחֲשָׁא וְעַד עוֹפָא דִשְׁמַיָּא וְאִתְמְחִיאוּ מִן אַרְעָא וְאִשְׁתָּאַר בְּרַם נֹחַ וְדִי עִמֵּיהּ בְּתֵבוֹתָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

[He] obliterated every being that was on the surface of the ground; from man to animals, to creeping creatures, and to the birds of the heaven. They were obliterated from the earth. Only Noach and those with him in the ark survived.
