< Genesis 6 >
1 When people began to become very numerous all over the earth, and many daughters were born to them,
Dimteng ti tiempo nga immadu ti tao iti rabaw ti daga ken nangipasngayda kadagiti annak a babbai,
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.
ket nakita dagiti annak a lallaki ti Dios a makaay-ayo dagiti annak a babbai ti tao. Nangalada kadagiti inasawada, siasinoman kadakuada a napilida nga asawaen.
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).”
Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Saan nga agtalinaed ti Espirituk iti sangkatao-an iti agnanayon, gapu ta isuda ket lasag. Agbiagda iti 120 a tawen.”
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.
Addan iti rabaw ti daga dagiti higante kadagidiay nga al-aldaw, ken kasta met kadagiti simmaruno pay nga al-aldaw. Napasamak daytoy idi inasawa dagiti annak a lallaki ti Dios dagiti annak a babbai dagiti tattao, ket naaddaanda kadagiti annak. Dagitoy dagiti maingel a lallaki idi, nalalatakda a lallaki.
5 Yahweh saw that people on the earth had become very wicked, and that everything they thought about evil things continually.
Nakita ni Yaweh a nakaru ti kinadakes ti sangkatao-an iti daga, ken agtultuloy a dakes laeng ti tunggal pagduyusan dagiti pagayatan dagiti pusoda.
6 Yahweh was sorry that he had made people.
Nagbabawi ni Yahweh a pinarsuana ti sangkatao-an iti rabaw ti daga, ken daytoy ti nagladingitan iti pusona.
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.”
Isu a kinuna ni Yahweh, “Pukawekto ti pinarsuak a sangkatao-an manipud iti rabaw ti daga; dagiti tattao ken dagiti dadakkel nga ayup, ken dagiti agkarkarayam a banbanag ken dagiti billit iti tangatang, ta agbabbabawiak nga inaramidko ida.”
8 But Yahweh was pleased with Noah.
Ngem makaay-ayo ni Noe iti imatang ni Yahweh.
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.
Dagitoy dagiti pasamak maipapan kenni Noe. Nalinteg a tao ni Noe, ken awan pakapilawanna kadagiti tattao iti tiempona. Nagna ni Noe a kaduana ti Dios.
10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Naaddaan ni Noe iti tallo nga annak a lallaki: ni Sem, ni Ham, ken ni 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.
Dakes ti lubong iti sangoanan ti Dios, ken napnoan daytoy iti kinaranggas.
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.
Nakita ti Dios ti daga; a daytoy ket dakes, ta amin a lasag ket dimmakesen ti wagasda iti rabaw ti daga.
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.
Kinuna ti Dios kenni Noe, “Makitak a panawenen a pagpatinggaen ti amin a lasag, ta napnoan iti kinaranggas ti daga gapu kadakuada. Pudno a dadaelekto ida agraman ti daga. Mangaramidka iti daongmo manipud iti tarikayo iti sedro.
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]).
Mangaramidka kadagiti siled iti uneg ti daong, ken palitadaam daytoy iti alketran iti uneg ken ruarna.
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.
Kastoyto ti panangaramidmo iti daytoy: ti kaatiddog ti daong ket 300 a cubits, 50 a cubits ti kaakabana, ken ti kangatona daytoy ket 30 a cubits.
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.
Atepam ti daong, ket leppasem daytoy nga addaan iti maysa a cubit ti kangatona manipud iti tapaw ti didingna. Mangikabilka iti ruangan iti sikigan ti daong ken mangaramidka iti akin-baba, maikadua, ken maikatlo a kadsaaranna.
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.
Dumngegka, dandanikon a layusen ti daga, a mangdadael iti amin a lasag nga addaan anges ti biag iti sirok ti langit. Matayto amin nga adda iti rabaw ti daga.
18 But I will make an agreement with you(sg): You and your wife, your sons and their wives will enter the boat.
Ngem makitulagak kenka. Sumrekkanto iti uneg ti daong, sika, ken dagiti annakmo a lallaki, ken ti asawam, ken dagiti assawa dagiti annakmo.
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.
Tunggal sibibiag a parsua iti amin a lasag, masapul a mangitugotka iti uneg ti daong iti sagdudua iti tunggal kita, tapno agtalinaedda a sibibiag a kaduam, lalaki ken babai.
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.
Kadagiti amin a kita ti tumatayab, ken kadagiti amin a kita dagiti dadakkel nga ayup, ken tunggal kita dagiti agkarkarayam a parsua iti daga, dua iti tunggal kita ti umay kenka, tapno agtalinaedda a sibibiag.
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.”
Mangurnongka iti tunggal kita iti taraon ket idulinmo daytoy, ket agserbi dagitoy a taraonmo ken taraonda.”
22 So Noah did everything that God told him to do.
Inaramid ngarud daytoy ni Noe. Inaramidna dagitoy a maiyannurot iti amin nga imbilin ti Dios kenkuana,
