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,
cumque coepissent homines multiplicari super terram et filias procreassent
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.
videntes filii Dei filias eorum quod essent pulchrae acceperunt uxores sibi ex omnibus quas elegerant
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.
dixitque Deus non permanebit spiritus meus in homine in aeternum quia caro est eruntque dies illius centum viginti annorum
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.
gigantes autem erant super terram in diebus illis postquam enim ingressi sunt filii Dei ad filias hominum illaeque genuerunt isti sunt potentes a saeculo viri famosi
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.
videns autem Deus quod multa malitia hominum esset in terra et cuncta cogitatio cordis intenta esset ad malum omni tempore
6 And Jehovah regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
paenituit eum quod hominem fecisset in terra et tactus dolore cordis intrinsecus
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.
delebo inquit hominem quem creavi a facie terrae ab homine usque ad animantia a reptili usque ad volucres caeli paenitet enim me fecisse eos
8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.
Noe vero invenit gratiam coram Domino
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
hae generationes Noe Noe vir iustus atque perfectus fuit in generationibus suis cum Deo ambulavit
10 And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
et genuit tres filios Sem Ham et Iafeth
11 And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
corrupta est autem terra coram Deo et repleta est iniquitate
12 And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
cumque vidisset Deus terram esse corruptam omnis quippe caro corruperat viam suam super terram
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.
dixit ad Noe finis universae carnis venit coram me repleta est terra iniquitate a facie eorum et ego disperdam eos cum terra
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood. Thou shall make rooms in the ark, and shall pitch it inside and outside with pitch.
fac tibi arcam de lignis levigatis mansiunculas in arca facies et bitumine linies intrinsecus et extrinsecus
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.
et sic facies eam trecentorum cubitorum erit longitudo arcae quinquaginta cubitorum latitudo et triginta cubitorum altitudo illius
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.
fenestram in arca facies et in cubito consummabis summitatem ostium autem arcae pones ex latere deorsum cenacula et tristega facies in ea
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.
ecce ego adducam diluvii aquas super terram ut interficiam omnem carnem in qua spiritus vitae est subter caelum universa quae in terra sunt consumentur
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.
ponamque foedus meum tecum et ingredieris arcam tu et filii tui uxor tua et uxores filiorum tuorum tecum
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.
et ex cunctis animantibus universae carnis bina induces in arcam ut vivant tecum masculini sexus et feminini
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.
de volucribus iuxta genus suum et de iumentis in genere suo et ex omni reptili terrae secundum genus suum bina de omnibus ingredientur tecum ut possint vivere
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.
tolles igitur tecum ex omnibus escis quae mandi possunt et conportabis apud te et erunt tam tibi quam illis in cibum
22 Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.
fecit ergo Noe omnia quae praeceperat illi Deus
The World is Destroyed by Water
