Genesis 6
1 When people began to become very numerous all over the earth, and many daughters were born to them,
Ketika manusia itu mulai bertambah banyak jumlahnya di muka bumi, dan bagi mereka lahir anak-anak perempuan,
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.
maka anak-anak Allah melihat, bahwa anak-anak perempuan manusia itu cantik-cantik, lalu mereka mengambil isteri dari antara perempuan-perempuan itu, siapa saja yang disukai mereka.
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).”
Berfirmanlah TUHAN: "Roh-Ku tidak akan selama-lamanya tinggal di dalam manusia, karena manusia itu adalah daging, tetapi umurnya akan seratus dua puluh tahun saja."
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.
Pada waktu itu orang-orang raksasa ada di bumi, dan juga pada waktu sesudahnya, ketika anak-anak Allah menghampiri anak-anak perempuan manusia, dan perempuan-perempuan itu melahirkan anak bagi mereka; inilah orang-orang yang gagah perkasa di zaman purbakala, orang-orang yang kenamaan.
5 Yahweh saw that people on the earth had become very wicked, and that everything they thought about evil things continually.
Ketika dilihat TUHAN, bahwa kejahatan manusia besar di bumi dan bahwa segala kecenderungan hatinya selalu membuahkan kejahatan semata-mata,
6 Yahweh was sorry that he had made people.
maka menyesallah TUHAN, bahwa Ia telah menjadikan manusia di bumi, dan hal itu memilukan hati-Nya.
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.”
Berfirmanlah TUHAN: "Aku akan menghapuskan manusia yang telah Kuciptakan itu dari muka bumi, baik manusia maupun hewan dan binatang-binatang melata dan burung-burung di udara, sebab Aku menyesal, bahwa Aku telah menjadikan mereka."
8 But Yahweh was pleased with Noah.
Tetapi Nuh mendapat kasih karunia di mata TUHAN.
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.
Inilah riwayat Nuh: Nuh adalah seorang yang benar dan tidak bercela di antara orang-orang sezamannya; dan Nuh itu hidup bergaul dengan Allah.
10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Nuh memperanakkan tiga orang laki-laki: Sem, Ham dan Yafet.
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.
Adapun bumi itu telah rusak di hadapan Allah dan penuh dengan kekerasan.
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.
Allah menilik bumi itu dan sungguhlah rusak benar, sebab semua manusia menjalankan hidup yang rusak di bumi.
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.
Berfirmanlah Allah kepada Nuh: "Aku telah memutuskan untuk mengakhiri hidup segala makhluk, sebab bumi telah penuh dengan kekerasan oleh mereka, jadi Aku akan memusnahkan mereka bersama-sama dengan bumi.
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]).
Buatlah bagimu sebuah bahtera dari kayu gofir; bahtera itu harus kaubuat berpetak-petak dan harus kaututup dengan pakal dari luar dan dari dalam.
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.
Beginilah engkau harus membuat bahtera itu: tiga ratus hasta panjangnya, lima puluh hasta lebarnya dan tiga puluh hasta tingginya.
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.
Buatlah atap pada bahtera itu dan selesaikanlah bahtera itu sampai sehasta dari atas, dan pasanglah pintunya pada lambungnya; buatlah bahtera itu bertingkat bawah, tengah dan atas.
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.
Sebab sesungguhnya Aku akan mendatangkan air bah meliputi bumi untuk memusnahkan segala yang hidup dan bernyawa di kolong langit; segala yang ada di bumi akan mati binasa.
18 But I will make an agreement with you(sg): You and your wife, your sons and their wives will enter the boat.
Tetapi dengan engkau Aku akan mengadakan perjanjian-Ku, dan engkau akan masuk ke dalam bahtera itu: engkau bersama-sama dengan anak-anakmu dan isterimu dan isteri anak-anakmu.
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.
Dan dari segala yang hidup, dari segala makhluk, dari semuanya haruslah engkau bawa satu pasang ke dalam bahtera itu, supaya terpelihara hidupnya bersama-sama dengan engkau; jantan dan betina harus kaubawa.
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.
Dari segala jenis burung dan dari segala jenis hewan, dari segala jenis binatang melata di muka bumi, dari semuanya itu harus datang satu pasang kepadamu, supaya terpelihara hidupnya.
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.”
Dan engkau, bawalah bagimu segala apa yang dapat dimakan; kumpulkanlah itu padamu untuk menjadi makanan bagimu dan bagi mereka."
22 So Noah did everything that God told him to do.
Lalu Nuh melakukan semuanya itu; tepat seperti yang diperintahkan Allah kepadanya, demikianlah dilakukannya.
The World is Destroyed by Water
