Genesis 6
1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them,
Og det skete, der Menneskene havde begyndt at formeres paa Jorden, og Døtre fødtes dem,
2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair. And they took to them wives of all that they chose.
da saa Guds Sønner Menneskens Døtre, at de vare skønne, og toge sig Hustruer af alle, hvilke de valgte.
3 And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he also is flesh. Yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years.
Da sagde Herren: Min Aand skal ikke herske i Mennesket evindelig, eftersom han er Kød; og hans Dage skulle være hundrede og tyve Aar.
4 The giants were on the earth in those days. And also after that, when the sons of God came to the daughters of men, and they bore sons to them, the same were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.
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.
5 And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Og Herren saa, at Menneskets Ondskab var stor paa Jorden, og at alt hans Hjertes Tankers Paafund var ikkun ondt hver Dag.
6 And Jehovah regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
Da angrede Herren, at han havde gjort Mennesket paa Jorden, og det bedrøvede ham i hans Hjerte.
7 And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground, from man, to beast, to creeping things, and birds of the heavens, for I regret that I have made them.
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.
8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.
Men Noa fandt Naade for Herrens Øjne.
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
Disse ere Noas Slægter. Noa, en retfærdig Mand, var ustraffelig i sin Tid, Noa vandrede med Gud.
10 And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Og Noa avlede tre Sønner: Sem, Kam og Jafet.
11 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Men Jorden var fordærvet for Guds Ansigt, og Jorden var fuld af Vold.
12 And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
Da saa Gud Jorden, og se, den var fordærvet; thi alt Kød havde fordærvet sin Vej paa Jorden.
13 And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them, and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
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.
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood. Thou shall make rooms in the ark, and shall pitch it inside and outside with pitch.
Gør dig en Ark af Gofertræ; gør Rum i Arken, og beg den inden og udentil med Beg.
15 And this is how thou shall make it: The length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
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.
16 Thou shall make a light for the ark, and thou shall finish it to a cubit upward. And thou shall set the door of the ark in the side of it, with lower, second, and third stories thou shall make it.
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.
17 And I, behold, I bring the flood of waters upon this earth, to destroy all flesh, in which is the breath of life, from under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die.
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.
18 But I will establish my covenant with thee. And thou shall come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
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.
19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort thou shall bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee. They shall be male and female.
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.
20 Of the birds according to their kind, and of the cattle according to their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind. Two of every sort shall come to thee, to keep them alive.
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.
21 And take thou to thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee, and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
Og tag du dig af alle Haande Føde, som ædes, og samle til dig, at det maa blive dig og dem til Næring.
22 Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.
Og Noa gjorde det, efter alt det, som Gud havde befalet ham, saaledes gjorde han.
The World is Destroyed by Water
