Genesis 6
1 And it happened, when humankind began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,
Quando os homens começaram a multiplicar-se na superfície do solo, e as filhas nasceram para eles,
2 that God's sons saw that the daughters of humankind were beautiful, and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.
os filhos de Deus viram que as filhas dos homens eram lindas, e levaram para si como esposas o que queriam.
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."
Yahweh disse: “Meu Espírito não lutará com o homem para sempre, porque ele também é carne; assim, seus dias serão cento e vinte anos”.
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.
Os nefilins estavam na terra naqueles dias, e também depois disso, quando os filhos de Deus chegaram às filhas dos homens e tiveram filhos com eles. Esses eram os homens poderosos que eram de antigamente, homens de renome.
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.
Yahweh viu que a maldade do homem era grande na terra, e que toda imaginação dos pensamentos do coração do homem era continuamente apenas maligna.
6 And God was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was grieved in his heart.
Yahweh lamentava ter feito o homem na terra, e isso o entristeceu em seu coração.
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."
Yahweh disse: “Destruirei o homem que criei da superfície do homem-terra, juntamente com animais, coisas rastejantes e aves do céu - pois lamento tê-las feito”.
8 But Noah found favor in the sight of God.
Mas Noé encontrou favor aos olhos de Yahweh.
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
Esta é a história das gerações de Noé: Noé era um homem justo, irrepreensível entre o povo de seu tempo. Noé caminhava com Deus.
10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Noé tornou-se o pai de três filhos: Shem, Ham, e Japheth.
11 The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
A terra era corrupta diante de Deus, e a terra estava cheia de violência.
12 God saw the earth, and look, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
Deus viu a terra, e viu que ela era corrupta, pois toda a carne havia corrompido o seu caminho na terra.
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.
Deus disse a Noé: “Eu trarei um fim a toda a carne, pois a terra está cheia de violência através deles”. Eis que eu os destruirei e à terra”.
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.
Faça um navio de madeira de gopher. Vocês devem fazer espaços no navio, e selá-lo dentro e fora com breu.
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.
É assim que você deve fazer. O comprimento do navio será de trezentos cúbitos, sua largura de cinqüenta cúbitos e sua altura de trinta cúbitos.
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.
Você deverá fazer um teto no navio, e deverá terminá-lo com um côvado para cima. Você deverá colocar a porta do navio em seu lado. Você deverá fazê-la com os níveis inferior, segundo e terceiro.
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.
Eu, mesmo eu, trarei a inundação de águas nesta terra, para destruir toda a carne tendo o sopro da vida de baixo do céu. Tudo o que está na terra morrerá.
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.
Mas eu estabelecerei meu pacto com vocês. Vós entrareis no navio, vós, vossos filhos, vossa esposa e as esposas de vossos filhos convosco.
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.
De todos os seres vivos de toda a carne, você trará dois de todos os tipos para dentro do navio, para mantê-los vivos com você. Eles serão homens e mulheres.
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.
Dos pássaros após sua espécie, do gado após sua espécie, de todo réptil do solo após sua espécie, dois de todo tipo virão até você, para mantê-los vivos.
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."
Leve consigo algum de todos os alimentos que são comidos, e recolha-o para si mesmo; e será para alimento para você e para eles”.
22 Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
Assim fez Noé. Ele fez tudo o que Deus lhe ordenou.
The World is Destroyed by Water
