Genesis 6
1 It came about when mankind began to multiply on the earth and daughters were born to them,
А кад се људи почеше множити на земљи, и кћери им се народише.
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.
Видећи синови Божји кћери човечије како су лепе узимаше их за жене које хтеше.
3 Yahweh said, “My spirit will not remain in mankind forever, for they are flesh. They will live 120 years.”
А Господ рече: Неће се дух мој до века прети с људима, јер су тело; нека им још сто двадесет година.
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.
А беше тада дивова на земљи; а и после, кад се синови Божји састајаху са кћерима човечијим, па им оне рађаху синове; то беху силни људи, од старине на гласу.
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.
И Господ видећи да је неваљалство људско велико на земљи, и да су све мисли срца њиховог свагда само зле,
6 Yahweh regretted that he had made mankind on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.
Покаја се Господ што је створио човека на земљи, и би му жао у срцу.
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.”
И рече Господ: Хоћу да истребим са земље људе, које сам створио, од човека до стоке и до ситне животиње и до птица небеских; јер се кајем што сам их створио.
8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Yahweh.
Али Ноје нађе милост пред Господом.
9 These were the events concerning Noah. Noah was a righteous man, and blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
Ово су догађаји Нојеви: Ноје беше човек праведан и безазлен свог века; по вољи Божјој свагда живљаше Ноје.
10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
И роди Ноје три сина: Сима, Хама и Јафета.
11 The earth was corrupt before God, and it was filled with violence.
А земља се поквари пред Богом, и напуни се земља безакоња.
12 God saw the earth; behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
И погледа Бог на земљу, а она беше покварена; јер свако тело поквари пут свој на земљи.
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.
И рече Бог Ноју: Крај сваком телу дође преда ме, јер напунише земљу безакоња; и ево хоћу да их затрем са земљом.
14 Make for yourself an ark of cypress wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch within and without.
Начини себи ковчег од дрвета гофера, и начини прегратке у ковчегу; и затопи га смолом изнутра и споља.
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.
И начини га овако; у дужину нека буде триста лаката, у ширину педесет лаката, и у висину тридесет лаката;
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.
Пусти доста светлости у ковчег; и кров му сведи озго од лакта; и удари врата ковчегу са стране; и начини га на три боја: доњи, други и трећи.
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.
Јер ево пустићу потоп на земљу да истребим свако тело у коме има жива душа под небом; шта је год на земљи све ће изгинути.
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.
Али ћу с тобом учинити завет свој: и ући ћеш у ковчег ти и синови твоји и жена твоја и жене синова твојих с тобом.
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.
И од свега живог, од сваког тела, узећеш у ковчег по двоје, да сачуваш у животу са собом, а мушко и женско нека буде.
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.
Од птица по врстама њиховим, од стоке по врстама њеним, и од свега што се миче на земљи по врстама његовим, од свега по двоје нека уђе с тобом, да их сачуваш у животу.
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.”
И узми са собом свега што се једе, и чувај код себе, да буде хране теби и њима.
22 So Noah did this. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
И Ноје учини, како му заповеди Бог, све онако учини.
The World is Destroyed by Water
