LatineEnglish

{And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. And all his days were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.}¹

Vixit autem Noë post diluvium trecentis quinquaginta annis. Et impleti sunt omnes dies eius nongentorum quinquaginta annorum, et mortuus est.

VIXIT igitur Noë vitam omnium mortalium longissimam, duobus tantum exceptis, Iared et Mathusalem. Namque ipso Adamo longaevior fuit Noë viginti annis; brevioris tamen vitae fuit quam Iared annis duodecim, et quam Mathusalem decem et novem. Verum invitat [me hic locus]…

Noah, then, lived the longest life of all mortals, two only excepted, Iared and Mathusalem. For Noah was longer-lived than Adam himself by twenty years; yet of a shorter life than Iared by twelve years, and than Mathusalem by nineteen. But [this place] invites [me]…²

…me hic locus ut breviter exponam omnem vitae Noë Chronologiam, et quaedam alia ad eum pertinentia. Primum dicam de vita eius ante diluvium, tum vero post diluvium.

…this place invites me to set forth briefly the whole Chronology of Noah's life, and certain other things pertaining to him. First I will speak of his life before the flood, then of [his life] after the flood.³
