Genesis 6
1 Dimteng ti tiempo nga immadu ti tao iti rabaw ti daga ken nangipasngayda kadagiti annak a babbai,
People started to increase in number and spread out across the earth. Daughters were born to them,
2 ket nakita dagiti annak a lallaki ti Dios a makaay-ayo dagiti annak a babbai ti tao. Nangalada kadagiti inasawada, siasinoman kadakuada a napilida nga asawaen.
and the sons of God saw that these women were beautiful, and they took whichever ones they wanted.
3 Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Saan nga agtalinaed ti Espirituk iti sangkatao-an iti agnanayon, gapu ta isuda ket lasag. Agbiagda iti 120 a tawen.”
Then the Lord said, “My life-giving Spirit will not remain in these people forever, because they are only mortal. The time they have left will be 120 years.”
4 Addan iti rabaw ti daga dagiti higante kadagidiay nga al-aldaw, ken kasta met kadagiti simmaruno pay nga al-aldaw. Napasamak daytoy idi inasawa dagiti annak a lallaki ti Dios dagiti annak a babbai dagiti tattao, ket naaddaanda kadagiti annak. Dagitoy dagiti maingel a lallaki idi, nalalatakda a lallaki.
There were giants on earth in those days, and also later on. They were born after the sons of God slept with the daughters of these people. Their sons became the great warriors and famous men of ancient times.
5 Nakita ni Yaweh a nakaru ti kinadakes ti sangkatao-an iti daga, ken agtultuloy a dakes laeng ti tunggal pagduyusan dagiti pagayatan dagiti pusoda.
The Lord saw how terribly evil people on earth had become—every single thought in their minds was evil all the time!
6 Nagbabawi ni Yahweh a pinarsuana ti sangkatao-an iti rabaw ti daga, ken daytoy ti nagladingitan iti pusona.
The Lord was sorry he'd made human beings to live on the earth; it made him very sad to think about it.
7 Isu a kinuna ni Yahweh, “Pukawekto ti pinarsuak a sangkatao-an manipud iti rabaw ti daga; dagiti tattao ken dagiti dadakkel nga ayup, ken dagiti agkarkarayam a banbanag ken dagiti billit iti tangatang, ta agbabbabawiak nga inaramidko ida.”
So the Lord said, “I'm going to wipe out these people I created from the earth, and not only them but also the animals, the creatures that run along the ground, and the birds, because I'm sorry I made them.”
8 Ngem makaay-ayo ni Noe iti imatang ni Yahweh.
But the Lord was pleased with Noah.
9 Dagitoy dagiti pasamak maipapan kenni Noe. Nalinteg a tao ni Noe, ken awan pakapilawanna kadagiti tattao iti tiempona. Nagna ni Noe a kaduana ti Dios.
This is the story of Noah and his family. Noah was a man of integrity, living a moral life among the people of his time. He had a close relationship with God.
10 Naaddaan ni Noe iti tallo nga annak a lallaki: ni Sem, ni Ham, ken ni Jafet.
Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Dakes ti lubong iti sangoanan ti Dios, ken napnoan daytoy iti kinaranggas.
God saw how corrupt the whole world had become, full of violent and lawless people.
12 Nakita ti Dios ti daga; a daytoy ket dakes, ta amin a lasag ket dimmakesen ti wagasda iti rabaw ti daga.
God recognized that the corruption in the world was due to everyone on earth living corrupt lives.
13 Kinuna ti Dios kenni Noe, “Makitak a panawenen a pagpatinggaen ti amin a lasag, ta napnoan iti kinaranggas ti daga gapu kadakuada. Pudno a dadaelekto ida agraman ti daga. Mangaramidka iti daongmo manipud iti tarikayo iti sedro.
So God told Noah, “I have decided to put an end to all people on earth because they are all violent and lawless. I myself am going to destroy all of them, along with the earth.
14 Mangaramidka kadagiti siled iti uneg ti daong, ken palitadaam daytoy iti alketran iti uneg ken ruarna.
Build an ark out of cypress wood. Make rooms inside the ark, and coat it with tar, both inside and out.
15 Kastoyto ti panangaramidmo iti daytoy: ti kaatiddog ti daong ket 300 a cubits, 50 a cubits ti kaakabana, ken ti kangatona daytoy ket 30 a cubits.
This is how to build it: the ark is to measure 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.
16 Atepam ti daong, ket leppasem daytoy nga addaan iti maysa a cubit ti kangatona manipud iti tapaw ti didingna. Mangikabilka iti ruangan iti sikigan ti daong ken mangaramidka iti akin-baba, maikadua, ken maikatlo a kadsaaranna.
Make a roof for the ark, leaving a cubit-wide opening between the roof and the top of the sides. Put a door in the side of the ark, and construct three decks inside.
17 Dumngegka, dandanikon a layusen ti daga, a mangdadael iti amin a lasag nga addaan anges ti biag iti sirok ti langit. Matayto amin nga adda iti rabaw ti daga.
I myself am going to flood the earth with water that will destroy everything that breathes, Every living thing everywhere on earth will die.
18 Ngem makitulagak kenka. Sumrekkanto iti uneg ti daong, sika, ken dagiti annakmo a lallaki, ken ti asawam, ken dagiti assawa dagiti annakmo.
But I will keep my agreement with you. You are to go into the ark, taking with you your wife and your sons and their wives.
19 Tunggal sibibiag a parsua iti amin a lasag, masapul a mangitugotka iti uneg ti daong iti sagdudua iti tunggal kita, tapno agtalinaedda a sibibiag a kaduam, lalaki ken babai.
Take a pair, male and female, of every kind of animal into the ark and make sure you keep them alive.
20 Kadagiti amin a kita ti tumatayab, ken kadagiti amin a kita dagiti dadakkel nga ayup, ken tunggal kita dagiti agkarkarayam a parsua iti daga, dua iti tunggal kita ti umay kenka, tapno agtalinaedda a sibibiag.
The same applies to every kind of bird, livestock, and the creatures that run along the ground—a pair of every kind will come to you so they can be kept alive.
21 Mangurnongka iti tunggal kita iti taraon ket idulinmo daytoy, ket agserbi dagitoy a taraonmo ken taraonda.”
Take all kinds of food with you too. Store it so you and the animals will have enough to eat.”
22 Inaramid ngarud daytoy ni Noe. Inaramidna dagitoy a maiyannurot iti amin nga imbilin ti Dios kenkuana,
Noah did exactly what God ordered him to do.
The World is Destroyed by Water
