New International Version (NIV) |
|
8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying ,
|
8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him:
|
|
9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
|
9 "I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you
|
|
10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
|
10 and with every living creature that was with you--the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you--every living creature on earth.
|
|
11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
|
11 I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth."
|
|
12 And God said , This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
|
12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:
|
|
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
|
13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
|
|
14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
|
14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,
|
|
15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
|
15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.
|
|
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it , that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
|
16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth."
|
|
17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
|
17 So God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth."
