Genesis 6
1 When people began to become very numerous all over the earth, and many daughters were born to them,
Y después de un tiempo, cuando los hombres se multiplicaron en la tierra, y tenían hijas,
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.
Los hijos de Dios vieron que las hijas de los hombres eran hermosas; y tomaron esposas para ellos de aquellas que les agradaban.
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).”
Y el Señor dijo: Mi espíritu no estará en el hombre para siempre, porque él es solo carne; entonces los días de su vida serán ciento veinte años.
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.
Había hombres de gran fuerza y tamaño en la tierra en aquellos días; y después de eso, cuando los hijos de Dios tuvieron relaciones con las hijas de los hombres, dieron a luz a niños: estos eran los grandes hombres de antaño, los hombres de gran nombre.
5 Yahweh saw that people on the earth had become very wicked, and that everything they thought about evil things continually.
Y el Señor vio que el pecado del hombre era grande sobre la tierra, y que todos los pensamientos de su corazón eran malos.
6 Yahweh was sorry that he had made people.
Y tuvo el SEÑOR dolor, porque había hecho hombre en la tierra, y dolor en su corazón.
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.”
Y él Señor dijo: Destruiré al hombre que hice, de la faz de la tierra, al hombre y a la bestia, y lo que anda sobre la tierra, y todas las aves del cielo; porque tengo pena por haberlos hecho.
8 But Yahweh was pleased with Noah.
Pero Noé tuvo gracia ante los ojos de Dios.
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 son las generaciones de Noé. Noé fue un hombre recto y sin pecado en su generación: siguió los caminos de Dios.
10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Y Noé tuvo tres hijos, Sem, Cam y 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.
Y la tierra era llena de maldad a los ojos de Dios, y llena de violencia.
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.
Y mirando Dios á la tierra, vio que abundaba la maldad; porque el camino de toda carne se había tornado malvado en la tierra.
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.
Y Dios dijo a Noé: El fin de toda carne ha llegado; la tierra está llena de sus acciones violentas, y ahora les pondré fin a la tierra.
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]).
Hazte una arca de madera de Gofer con cuartos en ella, y asegúrala con brea, del agua por dentro y por fuera.
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.
Y esta es la manera de hacerlo: tiene trescientos codos de longitud, cincuenta codos de anchura y treinta codos de 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.
Debes poner una ventana en el arca, un codo del techo y una puerta en el costado, y debes hacerlo con un piso inferior y un segundo y tercer piso.
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.
Porque en verdad, enviaré un gran diluvio de aguas sobre la tierra, para la destrucción de debajo del cielo de toda carne en la cual es el aliento de vida; todo en la tierra llegará a su fin.
18 But I will make an agreement with you(sg): You and your wife, your sons and their wives will enter the boat.
Pero contigo haré un acuerdo; y entrarás en el arca, tú y tus hijos y tu esposa y las esposas de tus hijos 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.
Y llevarás contigo al arca dos de toda cosa viviente, y los guardarás a salvo contigo; ellos serán hombres y mujeres.
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.
Dos de cada especie de ave y de ganado, y de toda clase de seres vivientes que vayan sobre la tierra, los llevarán consigo para evitar que sean destruidos.
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.”
Y haz una reserva de toda clase de alimentos para ti y para ellos.
22 So Noah did everything that God told him to do.
Y todas estas cosas que hizo Noé; como Dios dijo, así lo hizo.
The World is Destroyed by Water
