Postanak 6
1 Kad su se ljudi počeli širiti po zemlji i kćeri im se narodile,
And it came to pass when mankind began to multiply on the earth, and daughters were born to them,
2 opaze sinovi Božji da su kćeri ljudske pristale, pa ih uzimahu sebi za žene koje su god htjeli.
that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair, and took themselves wives of all that they chose.
3 Onda Jahve reče: “Neće moj duh u čovjeku ostati dovijeka; čovjek je tjelesan, pa neka mu vijek bude stotinu dvadeset godina.”
And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not always plead with Man; for he indeed is flesh; but his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
4 U ona su vremena - a i kasnije - na zemlji bili Nefili, kad su Božji sinovi općili s ljudskim kćerima pa im one rađale djecu. To su oni od starine po snazi glasoviti ljudi.
In those days were the giants on the earth, and also afterwards, when the sons of God had come in to the daughters of men, and they had borne [children] to them; these were the heroes, who of old were men of renown.
5 Vidje Jahve kako je čovjekova pokvarenost na zemlji velika i kako je svaka pomisao u njegovoj pameti uvijek samo zloća.
And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of Man was great on the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil continually.
6 Jahve se pokaja i u svom srcu ražalosti što je načinio čovjeka na zemlji.
And Jehovah repented that he had made Man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
7 Reče Jahve: “Ljude koje sam stvorio izbrisat ću s lica zemlje - od čovjeka do zvijeri, puzavce i ptice u zraku - jer sam se pokajao što sam ih napravio.”
And Jehovah said, I will destroy Man, whom I have created, from the earth — from man to cattle, to creeping things, and to fowl of the heavens; for I repent that I have made them.
8 Ali je Noa našao milost u očima Jahvinim.
But Noah found favour in the eyes of Jehovah.
9 Ovo je povijest Noina: Noa je bio čovjek pravedan i neporočan u svom vremenu. S Bogom je Noa hodio.
This is the history of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect amongst his generations: Noah walked with God.
10 Tri su se sina rodila Noi: Šem, Ham i Jafet.
And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 U očima Božjim zemlja se bila iskvarila; nepravdom se napunila.
And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was full of violence.
12 I kad je Bog vidio kako se zemlja iskvarila - tÓa svako se biće na zemlji izopačilo -
And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted its way on the earth.
13 reče Bog Noi: “Odlučio sam da bude kraj svim bićima jer se zemlja napunila opačinom; i, evo, uništit ću ih zajedno sa zemljom.
And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me, for the earth is full of violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Napravi sebi korablju od smolastoga drveta; korablju načini s prijekletima i obloži je iznutra i izvana paklinom.
Make thyself an ark of gopher wood: [with] cells shalt thou make the ark; and pitch it inside and outside with pitch.
15 A pravit ćeš je ovako: neka korablja bude trista lakata u duljinu, pedeset u širinu, a trideset lakata u visinu.
And thus shalt thou make it: let the length of the ark be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 Na korablji načini otvor za svjetlo, završi ga jedan lakat od vrha. Vrata na korablji načini sa strane; neka ima donji, srednji i gornji kat.
A light shalt thou make to the ark; and to a cubit high shalt thou finish it above. And the door of the ark shalt thou set in its side: [with] a lower, second, and third [story] shalt thou make it.
17 Ja ću, evo, pustiti potop - vode na zemlju - da izgine svako biće pod nebom, sve u čemu ima dah života: sve na zemlji mora poginuti.
For I, behold, I bring a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh under the heavens in which is the breath of life: everything that is on the earth shall expire.
18 A s tobom ću učiniti Savez; ti ćeš ući u korablju - ti i s tobom tvoji sinovi, tvoja žena i žene tvojih sinova.
But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt go into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19 A od svega što je živo - od svih bića - uvedi u korablju od svakoga po dvoje da s tobom preživi, i neka budu muško i žensko.
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.
20 Od ptica prema njihovim vrstama, od životinja prema njihovim vrstama i od svih stvorova što po tlu puze prema njihovim vrstama: po dvoje od svega neka uđe k tebi da preživi.
Of fowl after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of each shall go in to thee, to keep [them] alive.
21 Sa sobom uzmi svega za jelo pa čuvaj da bude hrane tebi i njima.”
And take thou of all food that is eaten, and gather [it] to thee, that it may be for food for thee and for them.
22 Noa učini tako. Sve kako mu je Bog naredio, tako je izvršio.
And Noah did it; according to all that God had commanded him, so did he.
The World is Destroyed by Water
