Gn 8:6-12 (Catholique Crampon)

⁶ Au bout de quarante jours, Noé ouvrit la fenêtre qu'il avait faite à l'arche, ⁷ et lâcha le corbeau, qui sortit, allant et revenant, jusqu'à ce que les eaux fussent séchées au-dessus de la terre. ⁸ Il lâcha ensuite la colombe d'auprès de lui, pour voir si les eaux avaient diminué de la surface de la terre. ⁹ Mais la colombe, n'ayant pas trouvé où poser la plante de son pied, revint vers lui dans l'arche ; parce qu'il y avait encore des eaux à la surface de toute la terre. Il étendit la main et, l'ayant prise, il la fit rentrer auprès de lui dans l'arche. ¹⁰ Il attendit encore sept autres jours, et il lâcha de nouveau la colombe hors de l'arche, ¹¹ et la colombe revint vers lui sur le soir, et voici, une feuille d'olivier toute fraîche était dans son bec ; et Noé reconnut que les eaux ne couvraient plus la terre. ¹² Il attendit encore sept autres jours, et il lâcha la colombe ; et elle ne revint plus vers lui.

Gn 8:6-12 (King James)

   ⁶ And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: ⁷ And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. ⁸ Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; ⁹ But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark. ¹⁰ And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; ¹¹ And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. ¹² And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
