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 Noe was five hundred years old, and he begot three sons, Sem, Cham, and Japheth. And it came to pass when men began to be numerous 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.

that the sons of God having seen the daughters of men that they were beautiful, took to themselves wives of 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 the Lord God said, My Spirit shall certainly not remain among these men for ever, because they are flesh, but their days shall be an 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 the giants were upon the earth in those days; and after that when the sons of God were wont to go in to the daughters of men, they bore [children] to them, those were the giants of old, the 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.

And the Lord God, having seen that the wicked actions of men were multiplied upon the earth, and that every one in his heart was intently brooding over evil continually,

6 And he regretted Yahweh that he had made humankind on the earth and he was pained to heart his.

then God laid it to heart that he had made man upon the earth, and he pondered [it] deeply.

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.

And God said, I will blot out man whom I have made from the face of the earth, even man with cattle, and reptiles with flying creatures of the sky, for I am grieved that I have made them.

8 And Noah he found favor in [the] eyes of Yahweh.

But Noe found grace before the Lord God.

9 These [are] [the] accounts of Noah Noah [was] a man righteous blameless he was in generations his with God he walked about Noah.

And these [are] the generations of Noe. Noe was a just man; being perfect in his generation, Noe was well-pleasing to God.

10 And he fathered Noah three sons Shem Ham and Japheth.

And Noe begot three sons, Sem, Cham, Japheth.

11 And was corrupt the earth before God and was filled the earth violence.

But the earth was corrupted before God, and the earth 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 the Lord God saw the earth, and it was corrupted; because 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.

And the Lord God said to Noe, A period of all men is come before me; because the earth has been filled with iniquity by them, and, behold, I destroy them and the earth.

14 Make for yourself an ark of wood of gopher nests you will make the ark and you will cover it from inside and from outside with pitch.

15 And this [is] how you will make it [will be] three hundred cubit[s] [the] length of the ark [will be] fifty cubit[s] breadth its and [will be] thirty cubit[s] height its.

And thus shall you make the ark; three hundred cubits the length of the ark, and fifty cubits the breadth, and thirty cubits the height of it.

You shall narrow the ark in making it, and in a cubit above you shall finish it, and the door of the ark you shall make on the side; with lower, second, and third stories you shall make it.

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.

And behold I bring a flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven, and whatever things are upon the earth shall die.

18 And I will establish covenant my with you and you will go into the ark you and sons your and wife your and [the] wives of sons your with you.

And I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall enter into the ark, and your sons and your wife, and your sons' wives with you.

19 And of every living [thing] of all flesh two of everything you will bring into the ark to preserve alive with you male and female they will be.

And you shall take to yourself of all kinds of food which you eat, and you shall gather them to yourself, and it shall be for you and them to eat.

22 And he did Noah according to all that he commanded him God so he did.

And Noe did all things whatever the Lord God commanded him, so did he.
