Genesis 6
1 And it happened, when humankind began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,
人地の面に繁衍はじまりて女子之に生るるに及べる時
2 that God's sons saw that the daughters of humankind were beautiful, and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.
神の子等人の女子の美しきを見て其好む所の者を取て妻となせり
3 And God said, "My Spirit will not remain in humankind forever, since he is indeed flesh; yet his days will be one hundred twenty years."
ヱホバいひたまひけるは我靈永く人と爭はじ其は彼も肉なればなり然ど彼の日は百二十年なるべし
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days (and also after that), when the sons of God had sexual relations with the daughters of humankind and had children by them. They were the mighty men who were from ancient times, famous men.
當時地にネピリムありき亦其後神の子輩人の女の所に入りて子女を生しめたりしが其等も勇士にして古昔の名聲ある人なりき
5 And God saw that the wickedness of humankind was great on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
ヱホバ人の惡の地に大なると其心の思念の都て圖維る所の恒に惟惡きのみなるを見たまへり
6 God was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was grieved in his heart.
是に於てヱホバ地の上に人を造りしことを悔いて心に憂へたまへり
7 God said, "I will destroy humankind whom I have created from the face of the earth; humankind, along with animals, crawling creatures, and flying creatures of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."
ヱホバ言たまひけるは我が創造りし人を我地の面より拭去ん人より獸昆蟲天空の鳥にいたるまでほろぼさん其は我之を造りしことを悔ればなりと
8 But Noah found favor in the sight of God.
されどノアはヱホバの目のまへに恩を得たり
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
ノアの傳は是なりノアは義人にして其世の完全き者なりきノア神と偕に歩めり
10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
ノアはセム、ハム、ヤペテの三人の子を生り
11 The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
時に世神のまへに亂れて暴虐世に滿盈ちたりき
12 God saw the earth, and look, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
神世を視たまひけるに視よ亂れたり其は世の人皆其道をみだしたればなり
13 And God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. And look, I will destroy them with the earth.
神ノアに言たまひけるは諸の人の末期わが前に近づけり其は彼等のために暴虐世にみつればなり視よ我彼等を世とともに剪滅さん
14 Make a box-shaped ship of gopher wood. You are to make rooms in the ship, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.
汝松木をもて汝のために方舟を造り方舟の中に房を作り瀝青をもて其内外を塗るべし
15 And this is how you are to make it. The length of the ship is to be five hundred seventeen feet, its breadth eighty-six feet, and its height fifty-two feet.
汝かく之を作るべし即ち其方舟の長は三百キユビト其濶は五十キユビト其高は三十キユビト
16 And you are to make a roof in the ship, and you are to finish it twenty-one inches above. And you are to set the door of the ship in its side. You are to make it with lower, second, and third levels.
又方舟に導光牖を作り上一キユビトに之を作り終べし又方舟の戸は其傍に設くべし下牀と二階と三階とに之を作るべし
17 And as for me, look, I am bringing a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is on the earth will die.
視よ我洪水を地に起して凡て生命の氣息ある肉なる者を天下より剪滅し絶ん地にをる者は皆死ぬべし
18 But I will establish my covenant with you. You are to come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
然ど汝とは我わが契約をたてん汝は汝の子等と汝の妻および汝の子等の妻とともに其方舟に入るべし
19 Of every living thing of all flesh, you are to bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.
又諸の生物總て肉なる者をば汝各其二を方舟に挈へいりて汝とともに其生命を保たしむべし其等は牝牡なるべし
20 Of the flying creatures after their kind, of the animals after their kind, and of every crawling creature of the ground after their kind, two of every sort shall come to you, to keep them alive.
鳥其類に從ひ獸其類に從ひ地の諸の昆蟲其類に從ひて各二汝の所に至りて其生命を保つべし
21 And as for you, take for yourself all the kinds of food that are eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be food for you, and for them."
汝食はるる諸の食品を汝の許に取て之を汝の所に集むべし是即ち汝と是等の物の食品となるべし
22 Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
ノア是爲し都て神の己に命じたまひしごとく然爲せり
The World is Destroyed by Water
