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,
मानिसहरूको संख्या पृथ्वीमा वृद्धि हुँदैजाँदा र तिनीहरूका छोरीहरू जन्मे,
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.
परमेश्वरका छोराहरूले मानव-जातिका छोरीहरूलाई आकर्षक (राम्री) देखे । तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूमध्ये कसैलाई आफैले चुनेको पत्नी ल्याए ।
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.”
परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “मेरो आत्मा मानव-जातिमा सदासर्वदा रहनेछैन, किनभने तिनीहरू शरीर हुन् । तिनीहरू १२० वर्ष बाँच्नेछन् ।”
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.
ती दिनहरूमा र पछि पनि पृथ्वीमा ठुला कदका मानिसहरू (राक्षस) थिए । जब परमेश्वरका छोराहरूले मानिसका छोरीहरूसँग विवाह गरे, तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीहरू जन्मे । यिनीहरू उहिलेका शक्तिशाली अर्थात् प्रख्यात मानिसहरू थिए ।
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;
पृथ्वीका मानिसहरूको दुष्टता बढी भएको र तिनीहरूका हृदयका विचारको हरेक भावना निरन्तर खराबै मात्र भएको परमप्रभुले देख्नुभयो ।
6 and YHWH regrets that He has made man in the earth, and He grieves Himself—to His heart.
पृथ्वीमा मानव-जातिलाई बनाउनुभएकोमा परमप्रभुले पछुतो मान्नुभयो, र यसले उहाँलाई दुःखित तुल्यायो ।
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.”
यसैले परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “मैले सृष्टि गरेका मानव-जातिलाई पृथ्वीको सतहबाट नामेट पार्नेछु; मानव-जाति र ठुला-ठुला जनावरहरू, घस्रने जन्तुहरू र आकाशमा उड्ने पक्षीहरू सबैलाई नमाेट पार्नेछु, किनकि तिनीहरूलाई बनाएकोमा म दुःखित छु ।”
8 And Noah found grace in the eyes of YHWH.
तर नोआले परमप्रभुको निगाह पाए ।
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.
यिनीहरू नोआ बारेका घटनाहरू थिए । नोआ तिनका समयमा मानिसहरूमा धर्मी र दोषरहित मानिस थिए । नोआ परमेश्वरसँग हिँडे ।
10 And Noah begets three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
नोआ शेम, हाम र येपेत तिन छोराहरूका बुबा भए ।
11 And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled [with] violence.
परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा पृथ्वी भ्रष्ट भएको र हिंसाले भरिएको थियो ।
12 And God sees the earth, and behold, it has been corrupted, for all flesh has corrupted its way on the earth.
परमेश्वरले पृथ्वीलाई देख्नुभयो; हेर, यो त भ्रष्ट थियो, किनकि पृथ्वीका सबै मानिसहरूका मार्ग भ्रष्ट भएका थिए ।
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.
परमेश्वरले नोआलाई भन्नुभयो, “यो सबै प्राणीको अन्त गर्ने समय आएको म देख्न सक्छु, किनभने पृथ्वी तिनीहरूको हिंसाले भरिएको छ । वास्तवमा, मैले तिनीहरूलाई पृथ्वीसँगै नष्ट पार्नेछु ।
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;
तैँले आफ्नो निम्ति गोपेर काठको एउटा जहाज बनाउनू । जहाजभित्र कोठाहरू बनाउनू र त्यसलाई भित्र-बाहिर अलकत्र लगाउनू ।
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;
तैँले यसलाई यसरी बनाउनुः यसको लम्बाइ एक सय चालिस मिटर, चौडाइ तेईस मिटर र यसको उच्चाइ चौध मिटरको होस् ।
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].
जहाजको छानो बनाउनू र यसलाई टुप्पोमा एक पट्टी एक हात छोडेर सिद्ध्याउनू । जहाजको एकपट्टी ढोका राख्नू र पहिलो, दोस्रो र तेस्रो तला बनाउनू ।
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.
सुन, जीवनको सास हुने आकाशमुनिका सबै प्राणीलाई सर्वनाश पार्न मैले पृथ्वीमा जलप्रलय ल्याउन लागेको छु । पृथ्वीमा भएको सबै प्राणी मर्नेछन् ।
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;
तर तँसँग म मेरो करार स्थापित गर्नेछु । तँ, तेरा छोराहरू, तेरी पत्नी र तेरा छोराहरूका पत्नीहरू जहाजभित्र आउनेछौ ।
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.
हरेक जीवित प्रणीमध्ये ठुला जनावरहरू र
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.
पृथ्वीमाथि घस्रने जन्तुहरूलाई जीवित राख्न भाले र पोथी गरी दुइ-दुइ वटा जहाजभित्र ल्याउनू ।
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.”
खानलाई र भण्डरण गर्नलाई सबै किसिमका खानेकुराहरू जम्मा गर्नू, जुन तेरो र तिनीहरूका निम्ति आहारा हुनेछ ।”
22 And Noah does according to all that God has commanded him; so he has done.
यसैले नोआले यो गरे । तिनले परमेश्वरले आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम गरे ।
The World is Destroyed by Water
