And all of the seed of life into the ship I brought.

And my household, men and women,

The cattle of the field, the beasts of the field,

And all my kin I caused to enter.

Then when the sun the destined time brought on,

To me he said at even-fall:--

Destruction shall the heaven rain.

Enter the ship and close the door.

With sorrow on that day I saw the sun go down.

The day on which I was to enter the ship I was afraid.
