1 Mosebog 6
1 Og det skete, der Menneskene havde begyndt at formeres paa Jorden, og Døtre fødtes dem,
And it comes to pass that mankind has begun to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to them,
2 da saa Guds Sønner Menneskens Døtre, at de vare skønne, og toge sig Hustruer af alle, hvilke de valgte.
and the sons of God see that they, the daughters of men, [are] beautiful, and they take women for themselves of all whom they have chosen.
3 Da sagde Herren: Min Aand skal ikke herske i Mennesket evindelig, eftersom han er Kød; og hans Dage skulle være hundrede og tyve Aar.
And YHWH says, “My Spirit does not strive in man for all time, for indeed, he [is] flesh, but his days have been one hundred and twenty years.”
4 Paa den Tid vare Kæmper paa Jorden, ja ogsaa efter at Guds Sønner vare indgangne til Menneskens Døtre og havde avlet sig Børn; disse ere de vældige, hvilke fra fordums Tid have været navnkundige Mænd.
The giants were in the earth in those days, and even afterward, when sons of God come in to the daughters of men, and they have borne to them those who [were] the mighty from of old, the men of renown.
5 Og Herren saa, at Menneskets Ondskab var stor paa Jorden, og at alt hans Hjertes Tankers Paafund var ikkun ondt hver Dag.
And YHWH sees that the wickedness of man [is] abundant in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [is] only evil every day;
6 Da angrede Herren, at han havde gjort Mennesket paa Jorden, og det bedrøvede ham i hans Hjerte.
and YHWH regrets that He has made man in the earth, and He grieves Himself—to His heart.
7 Og Herren sagde: Jeg vil udslette Mennesket, som jeg har skabt, af Jorden, baade Mennesker og Kvæg og Kryb og Fugle under Himmelen; thi jeg angrer, at jeg gjorde dem.
And YHWH says, “I wipe away man whom I have created from off the face of the ground, from man to beast, to creeping thing, and to bird of the heavens, for I have regretted that I have made them.”
8 Men Noa fandt Naade for Herrens Øjne.
And Noah found grace in the eyes of YHWH.
9 Disse ere Noas Slægter. Noa, en retfærdig Mand, var ustraffelig i sin Tid, Noa vandrede med Gud.
These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah [is] a righteous man; he has been perfect among his generations; Noah has habitually walked with God.
10 Og Noa avlede tre Sønner: Sem, Kam og Jafet.
And Noah begets three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Men Jorden var fordærvet for Guds Ansigt, og Jorden var fuld af Vold.
And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled [with] violence.
12 Da saa Gud Jorden, og se, den var fordærvet; thi alt Kød havde fordærvet sin Vej paa Jorden.
And God sees the earth, and behold, it has been corrupted, for all flesh has corrupted its way on the earth.
13 Da sagde Gud til Noa: Alt Køds Ende er kommen for mit Ansigt; thi Jorden er fuld af Vold af dem; og se, jeg vil fordærve dem med Jorden.
And God said to Noah, “An end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth has been full of violence from their presence; and behold, I am destroying them with the earth.
14 Gør dig en Ark af Gofertræ; gør Rum i Arken, og beg den inden og udentil med Beg.
Make an ark of gopher-wood for yourself; you make rooms within the Ark, and you have covered it from inside and from outside with pitch;
15 Og denne er Maaden, efter hvilken du skal gøre den: Tre Hundrede Alen skal Arkens Længde være, halvtredsindstyve Alen dens Bredde og tredive Alen dens Højde.
and this [is] how you do it: three hundred cubits [is] the length of the Ark, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height;
16 Du skal gøre et Vindue paa Arken, og oventil skal du fuldkomme den til en Alen, og Arkens Dør skal du sætte paa dens Side; du skal gøre den med et nederste, et mellemste og et tredje Loft.
you make a window for the Ark, and you finish it to a cubit from above; and you put the opening of the Ark in its side; you make it [with] lower, second, and third [stories].
17 Og jeg, se, jeg lader komme en Vandflod over Jorden til at fordærve alt Kød, som har Livs Aande i sig under Himmelen; alt det, som er paa Jorden, skal udaande.
And I, behold, I am bringing in the flood of waters on the earth, to destroy from under the heavens all flesh in which [is] a living spirit; all that [is] in the earth expires.
18 Men med dig opretter jeg min Pagt; og du skal gaa i Arken, du og dine Sønner og din Hustru og dine Sønners Hustruer med dig.
And I have established My covenant with you, and you have come into the Ark—you, and your sons, and your wife, and your son’s wives with you;
19 Og af alt det, som lever, af alt Kød, et Par af hver Slags skal du indføre i Arken, at lade leve med dig; Han og Hun skal det være.
and of all that lives, of all flesh, you bring two from every [kind] into the Ark, to keep alive with you; they are male and female.
20 Af Fuglene efter deres Slags og af Kvæget efter deres Slags, af alle Haande Kryb paa Jorden efter deres Slags; et Par af hvert skal gaa ind til dig, at de maa leve.
From the bird after its kind, and from the livestock after its kind, [and] from every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every [kind] they come to you, to keep alive.
21 Og tag du dig af alle Haande Føde, som ædes, og samle til dig, at det maa blive dig og dem til Næring.
And you, take for yourself from all food that is eaten; and you have gathered [it] to yourself, and it has been for you and for them for food.”
22 Og Noa gjorde det, efter alt det, som Gud havde befalet ham, saaledes gjorde han.
And Noah does according to all that God has commanded him; so he has done.
The World is Destroyed by Water
