Genesis 6
1 And it cometh to pass that mankind have begun to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to them,
मानिसहरूको संख्या पृथ्वीमा वृद्धि हुँदैजाँदा र तिनीहरूका छोरीहरू जन्मे,
2 and sons of God see the daughters of men that they [are] fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have chosen.
परमेश्वरका छोराहरूले मानव-जातिका छोरीहरूलाई आकर्षक (राम्री) देखे । तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूमध्ये कसैलाई आफैले चुनेको पत्नी ल्याए ।
3 And Jehovah saith, 'My Spirit doth not strive in man — to the age; in their erring they [are] flesh:' and his days have been an hundred and twenty years.
परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “मेरो आत्मा मानव-जातिमा सदासर्वदा रहनेछैन, किनभने तिनीहरू शरीर हुन् । तिनीहरू १२० वर्ष बाँच्नेछन् ।”
4 The fallen ones were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when sons of God come in unto daughters of men, and they have borne to them — they [are] the heroes, who, from of old, [are] the men of name.
ती दिनहरूमा र पछि पनि पृथ्वीमा ठुला कदका मानिसहरू (राक्षस) थिए । जब परमेश्वरका छोराहरूले मानिसका छोरीहरूसँग विवाह गरे, तिनीहरूका छोराछोरीहरू जन्मे । यिनीहरू उहिलेका शक्तिशाली अर्थात् प्रख्यात मानिसहरू थिए ।
5 And Jehovah seeth that abundant [is] the wickedness of man in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil all the day;
पृथ्वीका मानिसहरूको दुष्टता बढी भएको र तिनीहरूका हृदयका विचारको हरेक भावना निरन्तर खराबै मात्र भएको परमप्रभुले देख्नुभयो ।
6 and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself — unto His heart.
पृथ्वीमा मानव-जातिलाई बनाउनुभएकोमा परमप्रभुले पछुतो मान्नुभयो, र यसले उहाँलाई दुःखित तुल्यायो ।
7 And Jehovah saith, 'I wipe away man whom I have prepared from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens, for I have repented that I have made them.'
यसैले परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “मैले सृष्टि गरेका मानव-जातिलाई पृथ्वीको सतहबाट नामेट पार्नेछु; मानव-जाति र ठुला-ठुला जनावरहरू, घस्रने जन्तुहरू र आकाशमा उड्ने पक्षीहरू सबैलाई नमाेट पार्नेछु, किनकि तिनीहरूलाई बनाएकोमा म दुःखित छु ।”
8 And Noah found grace in the eyes of Jehovah.
तर नोआले परमप्रभुको निगाह पाए ।
9 These [are] births of Noah: Noah [is] a righteous man; perfect he hath been among his generations; with God hath Noah walked habitually.
यिनीहरू नोआ बारेका घटनाहरू थिए । नोआ तिनका समयमा मानिसहरूमा धर्मी र दोषरहित मानिस थिए । नोआ परमेश्वरसँग हिँडे ।
10 And Noah begetteth three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
नोआ शेम, हाम र येपेत तिन छोराहरूका बुबा भए ।
11 And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled [with] violence.
परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा पृथ्वी भ्रष्ट भएको र हिंसाले भरिएको थियो ।
12 And God seeth the earth, and lo, it hath been corrupted, for all flesh hath corrupted its way on the earth.
परमेश्वरले पृथ्वीलाई देख्नुभयो; हेर, यो त भ्रष्ट थियो, किनकि पृथ्वीका सबै मानिसहरूका मार्ग भ्रष्ट भएका थिए ।
13 And God said to Noah, 'An end of all flesh hath come before Me, for the earth hath been full of violence from their presence; and lo, I am destroying them with the earth.
परमेश्वरले नोआलाई भन्नुभयो, “यो सबै प्राणीको अन्त गर्ने समय आएको म देख्न सक्छु, किनभने पृथ्वी तिनीहरूको हिंसाले भरिएको छ । वास्तवमा, मैले तिनीहरूलाई पृथ्वीसँगै नष्ट पार्नेछु ।
14 'Make for thyself an ark of gopher-wood; rooms dost thou make with the ark, and thou hast covered it within and without with cypress;
तैँले आफ्नो निम्ति गोपेर काठको एउटा जहाज बनाउनू । जहाजभित्र कोठाहरू बनाउनू र त्यसलाई भित्र-बाहिर अलकत्र लगाउनू ।
15 and this [is] that which thou dost with it: three hundred cubits [is] the length of the ark, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height;
तैँले यसलाई यसरी बनाउनुः यसको लम्बाइ एक सय चालिस मिटर, चौडाइ तेईस मिटर र यसको उच्चाइ चौध मिटरको होस् ।
16 a window dost thou make for the ark, and unto a cubit thou dost restrain it from above; and the opening of the ark thou dost put in its side, — lower, second, and third [stories] dost thou make it.
जहाजको छानो बनाउनू र यसलाई टुप्पोमा एक पट्टी एक हात छोडेर सिद्ध्याउनू । जहाजको एकपट्टी ढोका राख्नू र पहिलो, दोस्रो र तेस्रो तला बनाउनू ।
17 'And I, lo, I am bringing in the deluge of waters on the earth to destroy all flesh, in which [is] a living spirit, from under the heavens; all that [is] in the earth doth expire.
सुन, जीवनको सास हुने आकाशमुनिका सबै प्राणीलाई सर्वनाश पार्न मैले पृथ्वीमा जलप्रलय ल्याउन लागेको छु । पृथ्वीमा भएको सबै प्राणी मर्नेछन् ।
18 'And I have established My covenant with thee, and thou hast come in unto the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy son's wives with thee;
तर तँसँग म मेरो करार स्थापित गर्नेछु । तँ, तेरा छोराहरू, तेरी पत्नी र तेरा छोराहरूका पत्नीहरू जहाजभित्र आउनेछौ ।
19 and of all that liveth, of all flesh, two of every [sort] thou dost bring in unto the ark, to keep alive with thee; male and female are they.
हरेक जीवित प्रणीमध्ये ठुला जनावरहरू र
20 Of the fowl after its kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every [sort] they come in unto thee, to keep alive.
पृथ्वीमाथि घस्रने जन्तुहरूलाई जीवित राख्न भाले र पोथी गरी दुइ-दुइ वटा जहाजभित्र ल्याउनू ।
21 'And thou, take to thyself of all food that is eaten; and thou hast gathered unto thyself, and it hath been to thee and to them for food.'
खानलाई र भण्डरण गर्नलाई सबै किसिमका खानेकुराहरू जम्मा गर्नू, जुन तेरो र तिनीहरूका निम्ति आहारा हुनेछ ।”
22 And Noah doth according to all that God hath commanded him; so hath he done.
यसैले नोआले यो गरे । तिनले परमेश्वरले आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम गरे ।
The World is Destroyed by Water
