Genesis 6
1 It came about when mankind began to multiply on the earth and daughters were born to them,
Da nu Menneskene begyndte at blive talrige på Jorden og der fødtes dem Døtre,
2 that the sons of God saw that the daughters of mankind were attractive. They took for themselves wives, any of them that they chose.
fik Gudssønnerne Øje på Menneskedøtrenes Skønhed, og de tog: så mange af dem, som de lystede, til Hustruer.
3 Yahweh said, “My spirit will not remain in mankind forever, for they are flesh. They will live 120 years.”
Da sagde HERREN: "Min Ånd: skal ikke for evigt blive i Menneskene, eftersom de jo dog er Kød; deres Dage skal være 120 År."
4 Giants were on the earth in those days, and also afterward. This happened when the sons of God married daughters of men, and they had children with them. These were the mighty men of old, men of renown.
I hine Dage, da Gudssønnerne gik ind til Menneskedøtrene og disse fødte dem Børn men også senere hen i Tiden - levede Kæmperne på Jorden. Det er Heltene, hvis Ry når tilbage til Fortids Dage.
5 Yahweh saw that the wickedness of mankind was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually.
Men HERREN så, at Menneskenes, Ondskab tog til på Jorden, og at deres Hjerters Higen og Tragten kun var ond Dagen lang.
6 Yahweh regretted that he had made mankind on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.
Da angrede HERREN, at han havde gjort Menneskene på Jorden, og det. skar ham i Hjertet.
7 So Yahweh said, “I will wipe away mankind whom I have created from the surface of the earth; both mankind and the larger animals, and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.”
Og HERREN sagde: "Jeg vil udslette Menneskene, som jeg har skabt, af Jordens Flade, både Mennesker, Kvæg, Kryb og Himmelens, Fugle, thi jeg angrer, at jeg gjorde dem!"
8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Yahweh.
Men Noa fandt Nåde for HERRENs Øjne
9 These were the events concerning Noah. Noah was a righteous man, and blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked 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 The earth was corrupt before God, and it was filled with violence.
Men Jorden fordærvedes for Guds Øjne, og Jorden blev fuld af Uret;
12 God saw the earth; behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
og Gud så til Jorden, og se, den var fordærvet, thi alt Kød havde fordærvet sin Vej på Jorden.
13 God said to Noah, “I can see that it is time to put an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Indeed, I will destroy them with the earth.
Da sagde Gud til Noa: "Jeg har besluttet at gøre Ende på alt Kød, fordi Jorden ved deres Skyld et fuld af Uret; derfor vil jeg nu udrydde dem af Jorden.
14 Make for yourself an ark of cypress wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch within and without.
Men du skal gøre dig en Ark af Gofertræ og indrette den med Rum ved Rum og overstryge den med Beg både indvendig og udvendig;
15 This is how you will make it: The length of the ark is to be three hundred cubits; the breadth of it is to be fifty cubits, and the height of it is to be thirty cubits.
og således skal du bygge Arken: Den skal være 300 Alen lang, 50 Alen bred og 30 Alen høj;
16 Make a roof for the ark, and finish it at a cubit from the top of the side. Place a door in the side of the ark and make a lower, a second, and a third deck.
du skal anbringe Taget på Arken, og det skal ikke rage længer ud end een Alen fra oven; på Arkens Side skal du sætte Døren, og du skal indrette den med et nederste, et mellemste og et øverste Stokværk.
17 Listen, I am about to bring the flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh that has in it the breath of life from under heaven. Everything that is on the earth will die.
Se, jeg bringer nu Vandfloden over Jorden for at udrydde alt Kød under Himmelen, som har Livsånde; alt, hvad der er på Jorden, skal forgå.
18 But I will establish my covenant with you. You will come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
Men jeg vil oprette min Pagt med dig. Du skal gå ind i Arken med dine Sønner, din Hustru og dine Sønnekoner:
19 Of every living creature of all flesh, two of every kind you must bring into the ark, to keep them alive with you, both male and female.
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 Of the birds after their kind, and of the larger animals after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort will come to you, to keep them alive.
af Fuglene efter deres Arter, af Kvæget efter dets Arter og af alt Jordens Kryb efter dets Arter; Par for Par skal de gå ind til dig for at holdes i Live.
21 Gather for yourself every kind of food that is eaten and store it, so that it will be food for you and for them.”
Og du skal indsamle et Forråd af alle Slags Levnedsmidler, for at det kan tjene dig og dem til Føde."
22 So Noah did this. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
Og Noa gjorde ganske som Gud havde pålagt ham; således gjorde han.
The World is Destroyed by Water
