Genesis 6
1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
Kad su se ljudi počeli širiti po zemlji i kćeri im se narodile,
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.
opaze sinovi Božji da su kćeri ljudske pristale, pa ih uzimahu sebi za žene koje su god htjeli.
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.
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 in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.
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 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.
Vidje Jahve kako je čovjekova pokvarenost na zemlji velika i kako je svaka pomisao u njegovoj pameti uvijek samo zloća.
6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Jahve se pokaja i u svom srcu ražalosti što je načinio čovjeka na zemlji.
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 repenteth me that I have 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 Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Ali je Noa našao milost u očima Jahvinim.
9 These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man [and] perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God.
Ovo je povijest Noina: Noa je bio čovjek pravedan i neporočan u svom vremenu. S Bogom je Noa hodio.
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Tri su se sina rodila Noi: Šem, Ham i Jafet.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
U očima Božjim zemlja se bila iskvarila; nepravdom se napunila.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
I kad je Bog vidio kako se zemlja iskvarila - tÓa svako se biće na zemlji izopačilo -
13 And God said unto 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.
reče Bog Noi: “Odlučio sam da bude kraj svim bićima jer se zemlja napunila opačinom; i, evo, uništit ću ih zajedno sa zemljom.
14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
Napravi sebi korablju od smolastoga drveta; korablju načini s prijekletima i obloži je iznutra i izvana paklinom.
15 And this [is the fashion] which thou shalt 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.
A pravit ćeš je ovako: neka korablja bude trista lakata u duljinu, pedeset u širinu, a trideset lakata u visinu.
16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; [with] lower, second, and third [stories] shalt thou make it.
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 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon 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.
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 with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
A s tobom ću učiniti Savez; ti ćeš ući u korablju - ti i s tobom tvoji sinovi, tvoja žena i žene tvojih sinova.
19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every [sort] shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep [them] alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
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 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 unto thee, to keep [them] 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 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather [it] to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
Sa sobom uzmi svega za jelo pa čuvaj da bude hrane tebi i njima.”
22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
Noa učini tako. Sve kako mu je Bog naredio, tako je izvršio.
The World is Destroyed by Water
