Genesis 6
1 And it was that began humankind to become numerous on [the] surface of the ground and daughters they were born to them.
And when men began to be multiplied upon the earth, and daughters were born to them,
2 And they saw [the] sons of God [the] daughters of humankind that [were] good they and they took for themselves wives from all whom they chose.
the sons of God, seeing that the daughters of men were beautiful, took to themselves wives from all whom they chose.
3 And he said Yahweh not will remain spirit my in humankind for ever in that also he [is] flesh and they will be days his one hundred and twenty year[s].
And God said: “My spirit shall not remain in man forever, because he is flesh. And so his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”
4 The Nephilim they were on the earth in the days those and also after thus when they went [the] sons of God into [the] daughters of humankind and they bore children to them they [were] the mighty [men] who [were] from long ago [the] men of name.
Now giants were upon the earth in those days. For after the sons of God went in to the daughters of men, and they conceived, these became the powerful ones of ancient times, men of renown.
5 And he saw Yahweh that [was] great [the] evil of humankind on the earth and every inclination of [the] thoughts of heart his only [was] evil every day.
Then God, seeing that the wickedness of men was great upon the earth and that every thought of their heart was intent upon evil at all times,
6 And he regretted Yahweh that he had made humankind on the earth and he was pained to heart his.
repented that he had made man on the earth. And being touched inwardly with a sorrow of heart,
7 And he said Yahweh I will wipe humankind which I created from on [the] surface of the ground from humankind unto animal[s] unto creeping thing[s] and unto [the] bird[s] of the heavens for I regret that I have made them.
he said, “I will eliminate man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, from man to other living things, from animals even to the flying things of the air. For it grieves me that I have made them.”
8 And Noah he found favor in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
Yet truly, Noah found grace before the Lord.
9 These [are] [the] accounts of Noah Noah [was] a man righteous blameless he was in generations his with God he walked about Noah.
These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a just man, and yet he was predominate among his generations, for he walked with God.
10 And he fathered Noah three sons Shem Ham and Japheth.
And he conceived three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 And was corrupt the earth before God and was filled the earth violence.
Yet the earth was corrupted before the eyes of God, and it was filled with iniquity.
12 And he saw God the earth and there! it was corrupt for had corrupted all flesh way its on the earth.
And when God had seen that the earth had been corrupted, (indeed, all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth)
13 And he said God to Noah [the] end of all flesh [is] coming before me for is full the earth violence because of them and here [am] I about to destroy them with the earth.
he said to Noah: “The end of all flesh has arrived in my sight. The earth has been filled with iniquity by their presence, and I will destroy them, along with the earth.

17 And I here I [am] about to bring the flood water on the earth to destroy all flesh which [is] in it [the] breath of life from under the heavens all that [is] on the earth will die.
Behold, I shall bring the waters of a great flood upon the earth, so as to put to death all flesh in which there is the breath of life under heaven. All things that are on the earth shall be consumed.

22 And he did Noah according to all that he commanded him God so he did.
And so Noah did all things just as God had instructed him.
