Genesis 6
|
| And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born unto them, | And after a time, when men were increasing on the earth, and had daughters, |
| that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all that they chose. | The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took wives for themselves from those who were pleasing to them. |
| And Jehovah said, My spirit shall not strive with man for ever, for that he also is flesh: yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years. | And the Lord said, My spirit will not be in man for ever, for he is only flesh; so the days of his life will be a hundred and twenty years. |
| The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them: the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown. | There were men of great strength and size on the earth in those days; and after that, when the sons of God had connection with the daughters of men, they gave birth to children: these were the great men of old days, the men of great name. |
| And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. | And the Lord saw that the sin of man was great on the earth, and that all the thoughts of his heart were evil. |
| And it repented Jehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. | And the Lord had sorrow because he had made man on the earth, and grief was in his heart. |
| And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground; both man, and beast, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; for it repenteth me that I have made them. | And the Lord said, I will take away man, whom I have made, from the face of the earth, even man and beast and that which goes on the earth and every bird of the air; for I have sorrow for having made them. |
| But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah. | But Noah had grace in the eyes of God. |
| These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, [and] perfect in his generations: Noah walked with God. | These are the generations of Noah. Noah was an upright man and without sin in his generation: he went in the ways of God. |
| And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. | And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. |
| And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. | And the earth was evil in God's eyes and full of violent ways. |
| And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth. | And God, looking on the earth, saw that it was evil: for the way of all flesh had become evil on the earth. |
| And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. | And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come; the earth is full of their violent doings, and now I will put an end to them with the earth. |
| Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. | Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood with rooms in it, and make it safe from the water inside and out. |
| And this is how thou shalt make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. | And this is the way you are to make it: it is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high. |
| A light shalt thou make to the ark, and to a cubit shalt thou finish it upward; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. | You are to put a window in the ark, a cubit from the roof, and a door in the side of it, and you are to make it with a lower and second and third floors. |
| And I, behold, I do bring the flood of waters upon this earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is in the earth shall die. | For truly, I will send a great flow of waters over the earth, for the destruction from under the heaven of all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything on the earth will come to an end. |
| But I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee. | But with you I will make an agreement; and you will come into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you. |
| And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. | And you will take with you into the ark two of every sort of living thing, and keep them safe with you; they will be male and female. |
| Of the birds after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. | Two of every sort of bird and cattle and of every sort of living thing which goes on the earth will you take with you to keep them from destruction. |
| And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. | And make a store of every sort of food for yourself and them. |
| Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he. | And all these things Noah did; as God said, so he did. |
