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,
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 unto the daughters of men, and they bare [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 repenteth 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 upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
Da saa Gud Jorden, og se, den var fordærvet; thi alt Kød havde fordærvet sin Vej paa Jorden.
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.
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 thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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] shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep [them] alive with thee; 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 unto thee, 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 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.
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
