創世記 6
1 人地の面に繁衍はじまりて女子之に生るるに及べる時
And Noe was five hundred years old, and he begot three sons, Sem, Cham, and Japheth. And it came to pass when men began to be numerous upon the earth, and daughters were born to them,
2 神の子等人の女子の美しきを見て其好む所の者を取て妻となせり
that the sons of God having seen the daughters of men that they were beautiful, took to themselves wives of all whom they chose.
3 ヱホバいひたまひけるは我靈永く人と爭はじ其は彼も肉なればなり然ど彼の日は百二十年なるべし
And the Lord God said, My Spirit shall certainly not remain among these men for ever, because they are flesh, but their days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 當時地にネピリムありき亦其後神の子輩人の女の所に入りて子女を生しめたりしが其等も勇士にして古昔の名聲ある人なりき
Now the giants were upon the earth in those days; and after that when the sons of God were wont to go in to the daughters of men, they bore [children] to them, those were the giants of old, the men of renown.
5 ヱホバ人の惡の地に大なると其心の思念の都て圖維る所の恒に惟惡きのみなるを見たまへり
And the Lord God, having seen that the wicked actions of men were multiplied upon the earth, and that every one in his heart was intently brooding over evil continually,
6 是に於てヱホバ地の上に人を造りしことを悔いて心に憂へたまへり
then God laid it to heart that he had made man upon the earth, and he pondered [it] deeply.
7 ヱホバ言たまひけるは我が創造りし人を我地の面より拭去ん人より獸昆蟲天空の鳥にいたるまでほろぼさん其は我之を造りしことを悔ればなりと
And God said, I will blot out man whom I have made from the face of the earth, even man with cattle, and reptiles with flying creatures of the sky, for I am grieved that I have made them.
8 されどノアはヱホバの目のまへに恩を得たり
But Noe found grace before the Lord God.
9 ノアの傳は是なりノアは義人にして其世の完全き者なりきノア神と偕に歩めり
And these [are] the generations of Noe. Noe was a just man; being perfect in his generation, Noe was well-pleasing to God.
10 ノアはセム、ハム、ヤペテの三人の子を生り
And Noe begot three sons, Sem, Cham, Japheth.
11 時に世神のまへに亂れて暴虐世に滿盈ちたりき
But the earth was corrupted before God, and the earth was filled with iniquity.
12 神世を視たまひけるに視よ亂れたり其は世の人皆其道をみだしたればなり
And the Lord God saw the earth, and it was corrupted; because all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth.
13 神ノアに言たまひけるは諸の人の末期わが前に近づけり其は彼等のために暴虐世にみつればなり視よ我彼等を世とともに剪滅さん
And the Lord God said to Noe, A period of all men is come before me; because the earth has been filled with iniquity by them, and, behold, I destroy them and the earth.
14 汝松木をもて汝のために方舟を造り方舟の中に房を作り瀝青をもて其内外を塗るべし
Make therefore for yourself an ark of square timber; you shall make the ark in compartments, and you shall pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 汝かく之を作るべし即ち其方舟の長は三百キユビト其濶は五十キユビト其高は三十キユビト
And thus shall you make the ark; three hundred cubits the length of the ark, and fifty cubits the breadth, and thirty cubits the height of it.
16 又方舟に導光牖を作り上一キユビトに之を作り終べし又方舟の戸は其傍に設くべし下牀と二階と三階とに之を作るべし
You shall narrow the ark in making it, and in a cubit above you shall finish it, and the door of the ark you shall make on the side; with lower, second, and third stories you shall make it.
17 視よ我洪水を地に起して凡て生命の氣息ある肉なる者を天下より剪滅し絶ん地にをる者は皆死ぬべし
And behold I bring a flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven, and whatever things are upon the earth shall die.
18 然ど汝とは我わが契約をたてん汝は汝の子等と汝の妻および汝の子等の妻とともに其方舟に入るべし
And I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall enter into the ark, and your sons and your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
19 又諸の生物總て肉なる者をば汝各其二を方舟に挈へいりて汝とともに其生命を保たしむべし其等は牝牡なるべし
And of all cattle and of all reptiles and of all wild beasts, even of all flesh, you shall bring by pairs of all, into the ark, that you may feed them with yourself: male and female they shall be.
20 鳥其類に從ひ獸其類に從ひ地の諸の昆蟲其類に從ひて各二汝の所に至りて其生命を保つべし
Of all winged birds after their kind, and of all cattle after their kind, and of all reptiles creeping upon the earth after their kind, pairs of all shall come in to you, male and female to be fed with you.
21 汝食はるる諸の食品を汝の許に取て之を汝の所に集むべし是即ち汝と是等の物の食品となるべし
And you shall take to yourself of all kinds of food which you eat, and you shall gather them to yourself, and it shall be for you and them to eat.
22 ノア是爲し都て神の己に命じたまひしごとく然爲せり
And Noe did all things whatever the Lord God commanded him, so did he.
The World is Destroyed by Water
