Genesis 6
1 People started to increase in number and spread out across the earth. Daughters were born to them,
Kad su se ljudi počeli širiti po zemlji i kćeri im se narodile,
2 and the sons of God saw that these women were beautiful, and they took whichever ones they wanted.
opaze sinovi Božji da su kćeri ljudske pristale, pa ih uzimahu sebi za žene koje su god htjeli.
3 Then the Lord said, “My life-giving Spirit will not remain in these people forever, because they are only mortal. The time they have left will be 120 years.”
Onda Jahve reče: “Neće moj duh u čovjeku ostati dovijeka; čovjek je tjelesan, pa neka mu vijek bude stotinu dvadeset godina.”
4 There were giants on earth in those days, and also later on. They were born after the sons of God slept with the daughters of these people. Their sons became the great warriors and famous men of ancient times.
U ona su vremena - a i kasnije - na zemlji bili Nefili, kad su Božji sinovi općili s ljudskim kćerima pa im one rađale djecu. To su oni od starine po snazi glasoviti ljudi.
5 The Lord saw how terribly evil people on earth had become—every single thought in their minds was evil all the time!
Vidje Jahve kako je čovjekova pokvarenost na zemlji velika i kako je svaka pomisao u njegovoj pameti uvijek samo zloća.
6 The Lord was sorry he'd made human beings to live on the earth; it made him very sad to think about it.
Jahve se pokaja i u svom srcu ražalosti što je načinio čovjeka na zemlji.
7 So the Lord said, “I'm going to wipe out these people I created from the earth, and not only them but also the animals, the creatures that run along the ground, and the birds, because I'm sorry I made them.”
Reče Jahve: “Ljude koje sam stvorio izbrisat ću s lica zemlje - od čovjeka do zvijeri, puzavce i ptice u zraku - jer sam se pokajao što sam ih napravio.”
8 But the Lord was pleased with Noah.
Ali je Noa našao milost u očima Jahvinim.
9 This is the story of Noah and his family. Noah was a man of integrity, living a moral life among the people of his time. He had a close relationship with God.
Ovo je povijest Noina: Noa je bio čovjek pravedan i neporočan u svom vremenu. S Bogom je Noa hodio.
10 Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Tri su se sina rodila Noi: Šem, Ham i Jafet.
11 God saw how corrupt the whole world had become, full of violent and lawless people.
U očima Božjim zemlja se bila iskvarila; nepravdom se napunila.
12 God recognized that the corruption in the world was due to everyone on earth living corrupt lives.
I kad je Bog vidio kako se zemlja iskvarila - tÓa svako se biće na zemlji izopačilo -
13 So God told Noah, “I have decided to put an end to all people on earth because they are all violent and lawless. I myself am going to destroy all of them, along with the earth.
reče Bog Noi: “Odlučio sam da bude kraj svim bićima jer se zemlja napunila opačinom; i, evo, uništit ću ih zajedno sa zemljom.
14 Build an ark out of cypress wood. Make rooms inside the ark, and coat it with tar, both inside and out.
Napravi sebi korablju od smolastoga drveta; korablju načini s prijekletima i obloži je iznutra i izvana paklinom.
15 This is how to build it: the ark is to measure 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.
A pravit ćeš je ovako: neka korablja bude trista lakata u duljinu, pedeset u širinu, a trideset lakata u visinu.
16 Make a roof for the ark, leaving a cubit-wide opening between the roof and the top of the sides. Put a door in the side of the ark, and construct three decks inside.
Na korablji načini otvor za svjetlo, završi ga jedan lakat od vrha. Vrata na korablji načini sa strane; neka ima donji, srednji i gornji kat.
17 I myself am going to flood the earth with water that will destroy everything that breathes, Every living thing everywhere on earth will die.
Ja ću, evo, pustiti potop - vode na zemlju - da izgine svako biće pod nebom, sve u čemu ima dah života: sve na zemlji mora poginuti.
18 But I will keep my agreement with you. You are to go into the ark, taking with you your wife and your sons and their wives.
A s tobom ću učiniti Savez; ti ćeš ući u korablju - ti i s tobom tvoji sinovi, tvoja žena i žene tvojih sinova.
19 Take a pair, male and female, of every kind of animal into the ark and make sure you keep them alive.
A od svega što je živo - od svih bića - uvedi u korablju od svakoga po dvoje da s tobom preživi, i neka budu muško i žensko.
20 The same applies to every kind of bird, livestock, and the creatures that run along the ground—a pair of every kind will come to you so they can be kept alive.
Od ptica prema njihovim vrstama, od životinja prema njihovim vrstama i od svih stvorova što po tlu puze prema njihovim vrstama: po dvoje od svega neka uđe k tebi da preživi.
21 Take all kinds of food with you too. Store it so you and the animals will have enough to eat.”
Sa sobom uzmi svega za jelo pa čuvaj da bude hrane tebi i njima.”
22 Noah did exactly what God ordered him to do.
Noa učini tako. Sve kako mu je Bog naredio, tako je izvršio.
The World is Destroyed by Water
