Genesis 6
1 When people began to become very numerous all over the earth, and many daughters were born to them,
E aconteceu que, quando começaram os homens a multiplicar-se sobre a face da terra, e lhes nasceram filhas,
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.
Vendo os filhos de Deus que as filhas dos homens eram belas, tomaram para si mulheres, escolhendo entre todas.
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).”
E disse o SENHOR: Não brigará meu espírito com o ser humano para sempre, porque certamente ele é carne: mas serão seus dias cento e vinte anos.
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.
Havia gigantes na terra naqueles dias, e também depois que entraram os filhos de Deus às filhas dos homens, e lhes geraram filhos: estes foram os valentes que desde a antiguidade foram homens de renome.
5 Yahweh saw that people on the earth had become very wicked, and that everything they thought about evil things continually.
E o SENHOR viu que a maldade dos seres humanos era muita na terra, e que todo desígnio dos pensamentos dos seus corações era só mau continuamente.
6 Yahweh was sorry that he had made people.
E o SENHOR se arrependeu de haver feito o ser humano na terra, e pesou-lhe em seu coração.
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.”
E disse o SENHOR: Apagarei os seres humanos que criei de sobre a face da terra, desde o ser humano até o animal, e até o réptil e as aves do céu; porque me arrependo de havê-los feito.
8 But Yahweh was pleased with Noah.
Porém Noé achou favor aos olhos do SENHOR.
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.
Estas são as gerações de Noé: Noé, homem justo, foi íntegro em suas gerações; Noé andava com Deus.
10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
E gerou Noé três filhos: a Sem, a Cam, e a Jafé.
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.
Porém a terra se corrompeu diante de Deus, e a terra encheu-se de violência.
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.
E Deus olhou a terra, e eis que estava corrompida; porque toda carne havia corrompido seu caminho sobre a terra.
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.
E disse Deus a Noé: O fim de toda carne veio diante de mim; porque a terra está cheia de violência por causa deles; e eis que eu os destruirei com a terra.
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]).
Faze-te uma arca de madeira de gôfer: farás aposentos na arca e a selarás com betume por dentro e por fora.
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.
E desta maneira a farás: de trezentos côvados o comprimento da arca, de cinquenta côvados sua largura, e de trinta côvados sua altura.
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.
Uma janela farás à arca, e a acabarás a um côvado de elevação pela parte de cima: e porás a porta da arca a seu lado; e lhe farás piso abaixo, segundo e terceiro.
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.
E eu, eis que eu trago um dilúvio de águas sobre a terra, para destruir toda carne em que haja espírito de vida debaixo do céu; tudo o que há na terra morrerá.
18 But I will make an agreement with you(sg): You and your wife, your sons and their wives will enter the boat.
Mas estabelecerei meu pacto contigo, e entrarás na arca tu, e teus filhos e tua mulher, e as mulheres de teus filhos contigo.
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.
E de tudo o que vive, de toda carne, dois de cada espécie porás na arca, para que tenham vida contigo; macho e fêmea serão.
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.
Das aves segundo sua espécie, e dos animais segundo sua espécie, de todo réptil da terra segundo sua espécie, dois de cada espécie entrarão contigo para que tenham vida.
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.”
E toma contigo de toda comida que se come, e traga-a a ti; servirá de alimento para ti e para eles.
22 So Noah did everything that God told him to do.
E o fez assim Noé; fez conforme tudo o que Deus lhe mandou.
The World is Destroyed by Water
