< 1 Mojžišova 6 >

1 Stalo se pak, když se počali množiti lidé na zemi, a dcery se jim zrodily,
When people began to become very numerous all over the earth, and many daughters were born to them,
2 Že vidouce synové Boží dcery lidské, any krásné jsou, brali sobě ženy ze všech, kteréž oblibovali.
some of the men who (belonged to/believed in) God saw that some of the women who did not (belong to/believe in) God were very beautiful. So they took whichever ones they chose to become their wives.
3 Pročež řekl Hospodin: Nebude se nesnaditi duch můj s člověkem na věky, proto že také tělo jest, a bude dnů jeho sto a dvadceti let.
Then Yahweh said, “[I will] not [allow] my Spirit to keep people alive forever (OR, the breath of life will not remain in people forever). They will die eventually. They will live not more than 120 years before they die (OR, there will be only 120 more years before they die).”
4 Obrové pak byli na zemi v těch dnech; ano i potom, když vcházeli synové Boží k dcerám lidským, ony rodily jim. To jsou ti mocní, kteříž zdávna byli, muži na slovo vzatí.
There were [giants called] Nephils who lived on the earth at that time and later. During that time [some of the Nephil] men who (belonged to/believed in) God had sex [EUP] with women who did not (belong to/believe in) God, and they gave birth to children. The Nephils were considered to be heroic fighters, and they became famous.
5 Ale když viděl Hospodin, an se rozmnožuje zlost lidská na zemi, a že by všeliké myšlení srdce jejich nebylo než zlé po všecken čas,
Yahweh saw that people on the earth had become very wicked, and that everything they thought about evil things continually.
6 Litoval Hospodin, že učinil člověka na zemi, a bolest měl v srdci svém.
Yahweh was sorry that he had made people.
7 Tedy řekl Hospodin: Vyhladím z země člověka, kteréhož jsem stvořil, od člověka až do hovada, až do zeměplazu, až i do ptactva nebeského; nebo líto mi, že jsem je učinil.
So he said, “I will completely destroy the people I made. I will also destroy all the animals and the creatures that scurry across the ground and the birds. None of them will remain on the earth, because I regret that I made them.”
8 Ale Noé našel milost před Hospodinem.
But Yahweh was pleased with Noah.
9 Tito jsou příběhové Noé: Noé muž spravedlivý, dokonalý byl za svého věku, s Bohem ustavičně chodil Noé.
This is why: Noah was a man who always acted in a righteous way. No one who lived at that time could criticize him about anything. Noah lived in close fellowship with God.
10 (Zplodil pak Noé tři syny: Sema, Chama a Jáfeta.)
Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Ale země byla porušena před Bohem, a naplněna byla země nepravostí.
At that time God considered that everyone else on earth was very wicked, and everywhere on the earth, people [MTY] were acting cruelly and violently toward each other.
12 Viděl tedy Bůh zemi, a aj, porušena byla, nebo bylo porušilo všeliké tělo cestu svou na zemi.
God was dismayed when he saw how evil people [MTY] were, because everyone (OR, all living creatures) had begun to behave in an evil way.
13 Protož řekl Bůh k Noé: Konec všelikého těla přichází přede mne, nebo naplněna jest země nepravostí od nich; z té příčiny, hle, již zkazím je s zemí.
So God said to Noah, “I have decided to destroy everyone, because all over the earth people are acting violently toward each other. So I am about to get rid of them as well as everything else on the earth.
14 Učiň sobě koráb z dříví gofer; příhrady zděláš v tom korábu, a oklejuješ jej vnitř i zevnitř klím.
[I want you to] make for yourself a large boat from cypress wood. Make rooms inside it. Cover the outside and the inside with tar [to make it (waterproof/so that water cannot get in and sink the boat]).
15 A na tento způsob uděláš jej: Tří set loktů bude dlouhost toho korábu, padesáti loktů širokost jeho a třidceti loktů vysokost jeho.
This is the size you must make it: It shall be (150 yards/135 meters) long, (25 yards/22.5 meters) wide, and (15 yards/13.5 meters) high.
16 Okno uděláš v korábu, a svrchkem na loket vysokým zavřeš jej; dvéře také korábu v boku jeho postavíš, a pokoje spodní, druhé i třetí zděláš v něm.
Make a roof for the boat. Leave a space of about (18 in./.5 meter) between the sides and the roof to let air and light enter (OR, the middle of the roof should be 18 inches higher than the sides). Build the boat with three decks inside, and put a door in one side.
17 Já pak, aj, já uvedu potopu vod na zemi, aby zkaženo bylo všeliké tělo, v němž jest duch života pod nebem. Cožkoli bude na zemi, umře.
Listen carefully! I am about to cause a flood to occur that will destroy every creature that lives beneath the sky. Everything on the earth will die.
18 S tebou však učiním smlouvu svou; a vejdeš do korábu, ty i synové tvoji, žena tvá i ženy synů tvých s tebou.
But I will make an agreement with you(sg): You and your wife, your sons and their wives will enter the boat.
19 A ze všech živočichů všelikého těla, po dvém z každého uvedeš do korábu, abys je živé zachoval s sebou; samec a samice budou.
And I want to save some of all kinds of creatures. So you must also bring two of all living creatures, a male and a female, into the boat with you, so that their species also may remain alive.
20 Z ptactva podlé pokolení jeho, a z hovad podlé pokolení jejich, ze všelikého také zeměplazu podlé pokolení jeho, po dvém z každého vejdou k tobě, aby živi zůstali.
Two of every kind of creature will come to [in order that by your putting them in the boat] you will keep them alive. They will include two of each kind of bird and each kind of animal and each kind of creature that scurries across the ground.
21 Ty pak nabeř s sebou všeliké potravy, kteráž se jísti může, a shromažď sobě, aby byla tobě i jim ku pokrmu.
You must also take some of every kind of food that you and all these animals will need, and store it in the boat.”
22 I učinil Noé podlé všeho, jakž mu rozkázal Bůh, tak učinil.
So Noah did everything that God told him to do.
