Genesis 6
1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, 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 them wives of all which they chose.
da saa Guds Sønner Menneskens Døtre, at de vare skønne, og toge sig Hustruer af alle, hvilke de valgte.
3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an 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 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, 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 God saw that the wickedness of man was great in 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 it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Da angrede Herren, at han havde gjort Mennesket paa Jorden, og det bedrøvede ham i hans Hjerte.
7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repents me 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 grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Men Noa fandt Naade for Herrens Øjne.
9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
Disse ere Noas Slægter. Noa, en retfærdig Mand, var ustraffelig i sin Tid, Noa vandrede med Gud.
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Og Noa avlede tre Sønner: Sem, Kam og Jafet.
11 The earth also 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 looked on the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way on 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 is 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 you an ark of gopher wood; rooms shall you make in the ark, and shall pitch it within and without with pitch.
Gør dig en Ark af Gofertræ; gør Rum i Arken, og beg den inden og udentil med Beg.
15 And this is the fashion which you shall make it of: The length of the ark shall be 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 A window shall you make to the ark, and in a cubit shall you finish it above; and the door of the ark shall you set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shall you 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, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in 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 with you will I establish my covenant; and you shall come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
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 shall you bring into the ark, to keep them alive with you; 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 fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come to you, 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 you to you of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to you; and it shall be for food for you, 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 did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
Og Noa gjorde det, efter alt det, som Gud havde befalet ham, saaledes gjorde han.
The World is Destroyed by Water
