Genesis 6
1 Cumque coepissent homines multiplicari super terram, et filias procreassent,
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born unto them,
2 Videntes filii Dei filias hominum quod essent pulchrae, acceperunt sibi uxores ex omnibus, quas elegerant.
that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all that they chose.
3 Dixitque Deus: Non permanebit spiritus meus in homine in aeternum, quia caro est: eruntque dies illius centum viginti annorum.
And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not strive with man for ever, for that he also is flesh: yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years.
4 Gigantes autem erant super terram in diebus illis. postquam enim ingressi sunt filii Dei ad filias hominum, illaeque genuerunt, isti sunt potentes a saeculo viri famosi.
The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them: the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.
5 Videns autem Deus quod multa malitia hominum esset in terra, et cuncta cogitatio cordis intenta esset ad malum omni tempore,
And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 poenituit eum quod hominum fecisset in terra. Et tactus dolore cordis intrinsecus,
And it repented Jehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 Delebo, inquit, hominem, quem creavi, a facie terrae, ab homine usque ad animantia, a reptili usque ad volucres caeli. poenitet enim me fecisse eos.
And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground; both man, and beast, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8 Noe vero invenit gratiam coram Domino.
But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.
9 Hae sunt generationes Noe: Noe vir iustus atque perfectus fuit in generationibus suis, cum Deo ambulavit.
These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, [and] perfect in his generations: Noah walked with God.
10 Et genuit tres filios, Sem, Cham et Iapheth.
And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Corrupta est autem terra coram Deo, et repleta est iniquitate.
And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 Cumque vidisset Deus terram esse corruptam, (omnis quippe caro corruperat viam suam super terram)
And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
13 dixit ad Noe: Finis universae carnis venit coram me: repleta est terra iniquitate a facie eorum, et ego disperdam eos cum terra.
And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Fac tibi arcam de lignis laevigatis: mansiunculas in arca facies, et bitumine linies intrinsecus, et extrinsecus.
Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 Et sic facies eam: Trecentorum cubitorum erit longitudo arcae, quinquaginta cubitorum latitudo, et triginta cubitorum altitudo illius.
And this is how thou shalt make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 Fenestram in arca facies, et in cubito consummabis summitatem eius: ostium autem arcae pones ex latere: deorsum, coenacula, et tristega facies in ea.
A light shalt thou make to the ark, and to a cubit shalt thou finish it upward; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
17 Ecce ego adducam aquas diluvii super terram, ut interficiam omnem carnem, in qua spiritus vitae est subter caelum: et Universa quae in terra sunt, consumentur.
And I, behold, I do bring the flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is in the earth shall die.
18 Ponamque foedus meum tecum: et ingredieris arcam tu et filii tui, uxor tua, et uxores filiorum tuorum tecum.
But I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
19 Et ex cunctis animantibus universae carnis bina induces in arcam, ut vivant tecum: masculini sexus et feminini.
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
20 De volucribus iuxta genus suum, et de iumentis in genere suo, et ex omni reptili terrae secundum genus suum: bina de omnibus ingredientur tecum, ut possint vivere.
Of the birds after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
21 Tolles igitur tecum ex omnibus escis, quae mandi possunt, et comportabis apud te: et erunt tam tibi, quam illis in cibum.
And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22 Fecit igitur Noe omnia, quae praeceperat illi Deus.
Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
The World is Destroyed by Water
