1 Mosebog 6
1 Da nu Menneskene begyndte at blive talrige på Jorden og der fødtes dem Døtre,
It came about when mankind began to multiply on the earth and daughters were born to them,
2 fik Gudssønnerne Øje på Menneskedøtrenes Skønhed, og de tog: så mange af dem, som de lystede, til Hustruer.
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 Ånd: skal ikke for evigt blive i Menneskene, eftersom de jo dog er Kød; deres Dage skal være 120 År."
Yahweh said, “My spirit will not remain in mankind forever, for they are flesh. They will live 120 years.”
4 I hine Dage, da Gudssønnerne gik ind til Menneskedøtrene og disse fødte dem Børn men også senere hen i Tiden - levede Kæmperne på Jorden. Det er Heltene, hvis Ry når tilbage til Fortids Dage.
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 Men HERREN så, at Menneskenes, Ondskab tog til på Jorden, og at deres Hjerters Higen og Tragten kun var ond Dagen lang.
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 Menneskene på Jorden, og det. skar ham i Hjertet.
Yahweh regretted that he had made mankind on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.
7 Og HERREN sagde: "Jeg vil udslette Menneskene, som jeg har skabt, af Jordens Flade, både Mennesker, Kvæg, Kryb og Himmelens, Fugle, 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 Nåde for HERRENs Øjne
But Noah found favor in the eyes of Yahweh.
9 Dette er Noas Slægtebog. Noa var en retfærdig, ustraffelig Mand blandt sine samtidige; 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 Noa avlede tre Sønner: Sem, Kam og Jafet.
Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Men Jorden fordærvedes for Guds Øjne, og Jorden blev fuld af Uret;
The earth was corrupt before God, and it was filled with violence.
12 og Gud så til Jorden, og se, den var fordærvet, thi alt Kød havde fordærvet sin Vej på 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: "Jeg har besluttet at gøre Ende på alt Kød, fordi Jorden ved deres Skyld et fuld af Uret; derfor vil jeg nu udrydde dem af 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 Men du skal gøre dig en Ark af Gofertræ og indrette den med Rum ved Rum og overstryge den med Beg både indvendig og udvendig;
Make for yourself an ark of cypress wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch within and without.
15 og således skal du bygge Arken: Den skal være 300 Alen lang, 50 Alen bred og 30 Alen høj;
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 anbringe Taget på Arken, og det skal ikke rage længer ud end een Alen fra oven; på Arkens Side skal du sætte Døren, og du skal indrette den med et nederste, et mellemste og et øverste Stokværk.
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 Se, jeg bringer nu Vandfloden over Jorden for at udrydde alt Kød under Himmelen, som har Livsånde; alt, hvad der er på Jorden, skal forgå.
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 jeg vil oprette min Pagt med dig. Du skal gå ind i Arken med dine Sønner, din Hustru og dine Sønnekoner:
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 alle Dyr, af alt Kød skal du bringe et Par af hver Slags ind i Arken for at holde dem i Live hos dig. Han og Hundyr 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 Arter, af Kvæget efter dets Arter og af alt Jordens Kryb efter dets Arter; Par for Par skal de gå ind til dig for at holdes i Live.
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 du skal indsamle et Forråd af alle Slags Levnedsmidler, for at det kan tjene dig og dem til Føde."
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 ganske som Gud havde pålagt ham; således gjorde han.
So Noah did this. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
The World is Destroyed by Water
