تكوين 6

١ 1 وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا ابْتَدَأَ النَّاسُ يَتَكَاثَرُونَ عَلَى سَطْحِ الأَرْضِ وَوُلِدَ لَهُمْ بَنَاتٌ،

And it was that began humankind to become numerous on [the] surface of the ground and daughters they were born to them.

٢ 2 انْجَذَبَتْ أَنْظَارُ أَبْنَاءِ اللهِ إِلَى بَنَاتِ النَّاسِ فَرَأَوْا أَنَّهُنَّ جَمِيلاتٌ فَاتَّخَذُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ مِنْهُنَّ زَوْجَاتٍ كَمَا طَابَ لَهُمْ.

And they saw [the] sons of God [the] daughters of humankind that [were] good they and they took for themselves wives from all whom they chose.

٣ 3 فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «لَنْ يَمْكُثَ رُوحِي مُجَاهِداً فِي الإِنْسَانِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. هُوَ بَشَرِيٌّ زَائِغٌ، لِذَلِكَ لَنْ تَطُولَ أَيَّامُهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مِئَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَقَطْ».

And he said Yahweh not will remain spirit my in humankind for ever in that also he [is] flesh and they will be days his one hundred and twenty year[s].

٤ 4 وَفِي تِلْكَ الْحِقَبِ، كَانَ فِي الأَرْضِ جَبَابِرَةٌ، وَبَعْدَ أَنْ دَخَلَ أَبْنَاءُ اللهِ عَلَى بَنَاتِ النَّاسِ وَلَدْنَ لَهُمْ أَبْنَاءً، صَارَ هَؤُلَاءِ الأَبْنَاءُ أَنْفُسُهُمُ الْجَبَابِرَةَ الْمَشْهُورِينَ مُنْذُ الْقِدَمِ.

٥ 5 وَرَأَى الرَّبُّ أَنَّ شَرَّ الإِنْسَانِ قَدْ كَثُرَ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَأَنَّ كُلَّ تَصَوُّرِ فِكْرِ قَلْبِهِ يَتَّسِمُ دَائِماً بِالإِثْمِ،

And he saw Yahweh that [was] great [the] evil of humankind on the earth and every inclination of [the] thoughts of heart his only [was] evil every day.

And he regretted Yahweh that he had made humankind on the earth and he was pained to heart his.

٧ 7 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «أَمْحُو الإِنْسَانَ الَّذِي خَلَقْتُهُ عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ مَعَ سَائِرِ النَّاسِ وَالْحَيَوَانَاتِ وَالزَّوَاحِفِ وَطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ، لأَنِّي حَزِنْتُ أَنِّي خَلَقْتُهُ».
