< 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,
人地の面に繁衍はじまりて女子之に生るるに及べる時
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.
神の子等人の女子の美しきを見て其好む所の者を取て妻となせり
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.
ヱホバいひたまひけるは我靈永く人と爭はじ其は彼も肉なればなり然ど彼の日は百二十年なるべし
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.
當時地にネピリムありき亦其後神の子輩人の女の所に入りて子女を生しめたりしが其等も勇士にして古昔の名聲ある人なりき
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.
ヱホバ人の惡の地に大なると其心の思念の都て圖維る所の恒に惟惡きのみなるを見たまへり
6 And Jehovah regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
是に於てヱホバ地の上に人を造りしことを悔いて心に憂へたまへり
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.
ヱホバ言たまひけるは我が創造りし人を我地の面より拭去ん人より獸昆蟲天空の鳥にいたるまでほろぼさん其は我之を造りしことを悔ればなりと
8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.
されどノアはヱホバの目のまへに恩を得たり
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
ノアの傳は是なりノアは義人にして其世の完全き者なりきノア神と偕に歩めり
10 And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
ノアはセム、ハム、ヤペテの三人の子を生り
11 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
時に世神のまへに亂れて暴虐世に滿盈ちたりき
12 And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
神世を視たまひけるに視よ亂れたり其は世の人皆其道をみだしたればなり
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.
神ノアに言たまひけるは諸の人の末期わが前に近づけり其は彼等のために暴虐世にみつればなり視よ我彼等を世とともに剪滅さん
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood. Thou shall make rooms in the ark, and shall pitch it inside and outside with pitch.
汝松木をもて汝のために方舟を造り方舟の中に房を作り瀝靑をもて其内外を塗るべし
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.
汝かく之を作るべし即ち其方舟の長は三百キユビト其濶は五十キユビト其高は三十キユビト
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.
又方舟に導光牖を作り上一キユビトに之を作り終べし又方舟の戸は其傍に設くべし下牀と二階と三階とに之を作るべし
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.
視よ我洪水を地に起して凡て生命の氣息ある肉なる者を天下より剪滅し絶ん地にをる者は皆死ぬべし
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.
然ど汝とは我わが契約をたてん汝は汝の子等と汝の妻および汝の子等の妻とともに其方舟に入るべし
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.
又諸の生物總て肉なる者をば汝各其二を方舟に挈へいりて汝とともに其生命を保たしむべし其等は牝牡なるべし
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.
鳥其類に從ひ獸其類に從ひ地の諸の昆蟲其類に從ひて各二汝の所に至りて其生命を保つべし
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.
汝食はるる諸の食品を汝の許に取て之を汝の所に集むべし是即ち汝と是等の物の食品となるべし
22 Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.
ノア是爲し都て神の己に命じたまひしごとく然爲せり
The World is Destroyed by Water
