1 Mosebog 6
1 Og det skete, der Menneskene havde begyndt at formeres paa Jorden, og Døtre fødtes dem,
It came about when mankind began to multiply on the earth and daughters were born to them,
2 da saa Guds Sønner Menneskens Døtre, at de vare skønne, og toge sig Hustruer af alle, hvilke de valgte.
that the sons of God saw that the daughters of mankind were attractive. They took for themselves wives, any of them that they chose.
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.
Yahweh said, “My spirit will not remain in mankind forever, for they are flesh. They will live 120 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.
Giants were on the earth in those days, and also afterward. This happened when the sons of God married daughters of men, and they had children with them. These were the mighty men of old, 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.
Yahweh saw that the wickedness of mankind was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually.
6 Da angrede Herren, at han havde gjort Mennesket paa Jorden, og det bedrøvede ham i hans Hjerte.
Yahweh regretted that he had made mankind on the earth, and it grieved him 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.
So Yahweh said, “I will wipe away mankind whom I have created from the surface of the earth; both mankind and the larger animals, and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.”
8 Men Noa fandt Naade for Herrens Øjne.
But Noah found favor in the eyes of Yahweh.
9 Disse ere Noas Slægter. Noa, en retfærdig Mand, var ustraffelig i sin Tid, Noa vandrede med Gud.
These were the events concerning Noah. Noah was a righteous man, and blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
10 Og Noa avlede tre Sønner: Sem, Kam og Jafet.
Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Men Jorden var fordærvet for Guds Ansigt, og Jorden var fuld af Vold.
The earth was corrupt before God, and it was filled with violence.
12 Da saa Gud Jorden, og se, den var fordærvet; thi alt Kød havde fordærvet sin Vej paa Jorden.
God saw the earth; behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way upon 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.
God said to Noah, “I can see that it is time to put an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Indeed, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Gør dig en Ark af Gofertræ; gør Rum i Arken, og beg den inden og udentil med Beg.
Make for yourself an ark of cypress wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch within and without.
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.
This is how you will make it: The length of the ark is to be three hundred cubits; the breadth of it is to be fifty cubits, and the height of it is to be thirty cubits.
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.
Make a roof for the ark, and finish it at a cubit from the top of the side. Place a door in the side of the ark and make a lower, a second, and a third deck.
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.
Listen, I am about to bring the flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh that has in it the breath of life from under heaven. Everything that is on the earth will die.
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.
But I will establish my covenant with you. You will come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife, and your sons' 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.
Of every living creature of all flesh, two of every kind you must bring into the ark, to keep them alive with you, both 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.
Of the birds after their kind, and of the larger animals after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort will come to you, to keep them 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.
Gather for yourself every kind of food that is eaten and store it, so that it will be food for you and for them.”
22 Og Noa gjorde det, efter alt det, som Gud havde befalet ham, saaledes gjorde han.
So Noah did this. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
The World is Destroyed by Water
