Genesis 6
1 And it comes to pass that mankind has begun to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to them,
Setelah manusia bertambah banyak dan tersebar di seluruh dunia, dan anak-anak perempuan dilahirkan,
2 and the sons of God see that they, the daughters of men, [are] beautiful, and they take women for themselves of all whom they have chosen.
makhluk-makhluk ilahi melihat bahwa gadis-gadis itu cantik-cantik. Lalu mereka mengawini gadis-gadis yang mereka sukai.
3 And YHWH says, “My Spirit does not strive in man for all time, for indeed, he [is] flesh, but his days have been one hundred and twenty years.”
Maka berkatalah TUHAN, "Aku tidak memperkenankan manusia hidup selama-lamanya; mereka makhluk fana, yang harus mati. Mulai sekarang umur mereka tidak akan melebihi 120 tahun."
4 The giants were in the earth in those days, and even afterward, when sons of God come in to the daughters of men, and they have borne to them those who [were] the mighty from of old, the men of renown.
Pada zaman itu, dan juga sesudahnya, ada orang-orang raksasa di bumi. Mereka keturunan gadis-gadis manusia yang kawin dengan makhluk-makhluk ilahi. Orang-orang raksasa itu adalah pahlawan-pahlawan besar dan orang-orang termasyhur di zaman purbakala.
5 And YHWH sees that the wickedness of man [is] abundant in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [is] only evil every day;
TUHAN melihat betapa jahatnya orang-orang di bumi; semua pikiran mereka selalu jahat.
6 and YHWH regrets that He has made man in the earth, and He grieves Himself—to His heart.
Ia pun menyesal telah menjadikan mereka dan menempatkan mereka di bumi. Ia begitu kecewa,
7 And YHWH says, “I wipe away man whom I have created from off the face of the ground, from man to beast, to creeping thing, and to bird of the heavens, for I have regretted that I have made them.”
sehingga berkata, "Akan Kubinasakan manusia yang telah Kuciptakan itu, dan juga segala burung dan binatang lainnya, sebab Aku menyesal telah menciptakan mereka."
8 And Noah found grace in the eyes of YHWH.
Tetapi Nuh menyenangkan hati TUHAN.
9 These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah [is] a righteous man; he has been perfect among his generations; Noah has habitually walked with God.
Inilah riwayat Nuh. Ia mempunyai tiga anak laki-laki, yaitu Sem, Yafet dan Ham. Nuh tidak berbuat salah, dan dia satu-satunya orang yang baik pada zamannya. Ia hidup akrab dengan Allah.
10 And Noah begets three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled [with] violence.
Tetapi semua orang lainnya jahat dalam pandangan Allah, dan kekejaman terdapat di mana-mana.
12 And God sees the earth, and behold, it has been corrupted, for all flesh has corrupted its way on the earth.
Allah memandang dunia itu dan hanya melihat kejahatan saja, sebab semua manusia jahat hidupnya.
13 And God said to Noah, “An end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth has been full of violence from their presence; and behold, I am destroying them with the earth.
Lalu berkatalah Allah kepada Nuh, "Aku telah memutuskan untuk mengakhiri hidup segala makhluk. Aku akan memusnahkan mereka beserta bumi, karena bumi telah penuh dengan kekejaman mereka.
14 Make an ark of gopher-wood for yourself; you make rooms within the Ark, and you have covered it from inside and from outside with pitch;
Buatlah sebuah kapal untukmu dari kayu yang kuat; buatlah bilik-bilik di dalamnya, dan lapisilah dengan ter dari dalam dan dari luar.
15 and this [is] how you do it: three hundred cubits [is] the length of the Ark, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height;
Kapal itu harus 133 meter panjangnya, 22 meter lebarnya, dan 13 meter tingginya.
16 you make a window for the Ark, and you finish it to a cubit from above; and you put the opening of the Ark in its side; you make it [with] lower, second, and third [stories].
Buatlah atap pada kapal itu, dan berilah jarak sebesar 44 sentimeter di antara atap dan dinding-dindingnya. Buatlah kapal itu bertingkat tiga, dan pasanglah sebuah pintu di sisinya.
17 And I, behold, I am bringing in the flood of waters on the earth, to destroy from under the heavens all flesh in which [is] a living spirit; all that [is] in the earth expires.
Aku akan mendatangkan banjir untuk membinasakan setiap makhluk yang hidup di bumi. Segala sesuatu di bumi akan mati,
18 And I have established My covenant with you, and you have come into the Ark—you, and your sons, and your wife, and your son’s wives with you;
tetapi dengan engkau Aku hendak membuat perjanjian. Masuklah ke dalam kapal itu bersama-sama dengan istrimu, dan anak-anakmu serta istri-istri mereka.
19 and of all that lives, of all flesh, you bring two from every [kind] into the Ark, to keep alive with you; they are male and female.
Bawalah ke dalam kapal itu seekor jantan dan seekor betina dari setiap jenis burung dan binatang lainnya, supaya mereka tidak turut binasa.
20 From the bird after its kind, and from the livestock after its kind, [and] from every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every [kind] they come to you, to keep alive.
21 And you, take for yourself from all food that is eaten; and you have gathered [it] to yourself, and it has been for you and for them for food.”
Bawalah juga segala macam makanan untukmu dan untuk binatang-binatang itu."
22 And Noah does according to all that God has commanded him; so he has done.
Nuh melakukan segala sesuatu yang diperintahkan Allah kepadanya.
The World is Destroyed by Water
