Genesis 6
1 When people began to become very numerous all over the earth, and many daughters were born to them,
Da nu Menneskene begyndte at blive talrige paa Jorden og der fødtes dem Døtre,
2 some of the men who (belonged to/believed in) God saw that some of the women who did not (belong to/believe in) God were very beautiful. So they took whichever ones they chose to become their wives.
fik Gudssønnerne Øje paa Menneskedøtrenes Skønhed, og de tog saa mange af dem, som de lystede, til Hustruer.
3 Then Yahweh said, “[I will] not [allow] my Spirit to keep people alive forever (OR, the breath of life will not remain in people forever). They will die eventually. They will live not more than 120 years before they die (OR, there will be only 120 more years before they die).”
Da sagde HERREN: »Min Aand skal ikke for evigt blive i Menneskene, eftersom de jo dog er Kød; deres Dage skal være 120 Aar.«
4 There were [giants called] Nephils who lived on the earth at that time and later. During that time [some of the Nephil] men who (belonged to/believed in) God had sex [EUP] with women who did not (belong to/believe in) God, and they gave birth to children. The Nephils were considered to be heroic fighters, and they became famous.
I hine Dage, da Gudssønnerne gik ind til Menneskedøtrene og disse fødte dem Børn — men ogsaa senere hen i Tiden — levede Kæmperne paa Jorden. Det er Heltene, hvis Ry naar tilbage til Fortids Dage.
5 Yahweh saw that people on the earth had become very wicked, and that everything they thought about evil things continually.
Men HERREN saa, at Menneskenes, Ondskab tog til paa Jorden, og at deres Hjerters Higen og Tragten kun var ond Dagen lang.
6 Yahweh was sorry that he had made people.
Da angrede HERREN, at han havde gjort Menneskene paa Jorden, og det skar ham i Hjertet.
7 So he said, “I will completely destroy the people I made. I will also destroy all the animals and the creatures that scurry across the ground and the birds. None of them will remain on the earth, because I regret that I made them.”
Og HERREN sagde: »Jeg vil udslette Menneskene, som jeg har skabt, af Jordens Flade, baade Mennesker, Kvæg, Kryb og Himmelens, Fugle, thi jeg angrer, at jeg gjorde dem!«
8 But Yahweh was pleased with Noah.
Men Noa fandt Naade for HERRENS Øjne.
9 This is why: Noah was a man who always acted in a righteous way. No one who lived at that time could criticize him about anything. Noah lived in close fellowship with God.
Dette er Noas Slægtebog. Noa var en retfærdig, ustraffelig Mand blandt sine samtidige; Noa vandrede med Gud.
10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Noa avlede tre Sønner: Sem, Kam og Jafet.
11 At that time God considered that everyone else on earth was very wicked, and everywhere on the earth, people [MTY] were acting cruelly and violently toward each other.
Men Jorden fordærvedes for Guds Øjne, og Jorden blev fuld af Uret;
12 God was dismayed when he saw how evil people [MTY] were, because everyone (OR, all living creatures) had begun to behave in an evil way.
og Gud saa til Jorden, og se, den var fordærvet, thi alt Kød havde fordærvet sin Vej paa Jorden.
13 So God said to Noah, “I have decided to destroy everyone, because all over the earth people are acting violently toward each other. So I am about to get rid of them as well as everything else on the earth.
Da sagde Gud til Noa: »Jeg har besluttet at gøre Ende paa alt Kød, fordi Jorden ved deres Skyld et fuld af Uret; derfor vil jeg nu udrydde dem af Jorden.
14 [I want you to] make for yourself a large boat from cypress wood. Make rooms inside it. Cover the outside and the inside with tar [to make it (waterproof/so that water cannot get in and sink the boat]).
Men du skal gøre dig en Ark af Gofertræ og indrette den med Rum ved Rum og overstryge den med Beg baade indvendig og udvendig;
15 This is the size you must make it: It shall be (150 yards/135 meters) long, (25 yards/22.5 meters) wide, and (15 yards/13.5 meters) high.
og saaledes skal du bygge Arken: Den skal være 300 Alen lang, 50 Alen bred og 30 Alen høj;
16 Make a roof for the boat. Leave a space of about (18 in./.5 meter) between the sides and the roof to let air and light enter (OR, the middle of the roof should be 18 inches higher than the sides). Build the boat with three decks inside, and put a door in one side.
du skal anbringe Taget paa Arken, og det skal ikke rage længer ud end een Alen fra oven; paa Arkens Side skal du sætte Døren, og du skal indrette den med et nederste, et mellemste og et øverste Stokværk.
17 Listen carefully! I am about to cause a flood to occur that will destroy every creature that lives beneath the sky. Everything on the earth will die.
Se, jeg bringer nu Vandfloden over Jorden for at udrydde alt Kød under Himmelen, som har Livsaande; alt, hvad der er paa Jorden, skal forgaa.
18 But I will make an agreement with you(sg): You and your wife, your sons and their wives will enter the boat.
Men jeg vil oprette min Pagt med dig. Du skal gaa ind i Arken med dine Sønner, din Hustru og dine Sønnekoner;
19 And I want to save some of all kinds of creatures. So you must also bring two of all living creatures, a male and a female, into the boat with you, so that their species also may remain alive.
og af alle Dyr, af alt Kød skal du bringe et Par af hver Slags ind i Arken for at holde dem i Live hos dig. Han og Hundyr skal det være,
20 Two of every kind of creature will come to [in order that by your putting them in the boat] you will keep them alive. They will include two of each kind of bird and each kind of animal and each kind of creature that scurries across the ground.
af Fuglene efter deres Arter, af Kvæget efter dets Arter og af alt Jordens Kryb efter dets Arter; Par for Par skal de gaa ind til dig for at holdes i Live.
21 You must also take some of every kind of food that you and all these animals will need, and store it in the boat.”
Og du skal indsamle et Forraad af alle Slags Levnedsmidler, for at det kan tjene dig og dem til Føde.«
22 So Noah did everything that God told him to do.
Og Noa gjorde ganske som Gud havde paalagt ham; saaledes gjorde han.
The World is Destroyed by Water
