उत्पत्ति 6
1 मानिसहरूको संख्या पृथ्वीमा वृद्धि हुँदैजाँदा र तिनीहरूका छोरीहरू जन्मे,
So when men began to be multiplied vpon the earth, and there were daughters borne vnto them,
2 परमेश्वरका छोराहरूले मानव-जातिका छोरीहरूलाई आकर्षक (राम्री) देखे । तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूमध्ये कसैलाई आफैले चुनेको पत्नी ल्याए ।
Then the sonnes of God sawe the daughters of men that they were faire, and they tooke them wiues of all that they liked.
3 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “मेरो आत्मा मानव-जातिमा सदासर्वदा रहनेछैन, किनभने तिनीहरू शरीर हुन् । तिनीहरू १२० वर्ष बाँच्नेछन् ।”
Therefore the Lord saide, My Spirit shall not alway striue with man, because he is but flesh, and his dayes shalbe an hundreth and twentie yeeres.
4 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 ।
There were gyants in the earth in those dayes: yea, and after that the sonnes of God came vnto the daughters of men, and they had borne them children, these were mightie men, which in olde time were men of renoume.
5 पृथ्वीका मानिसहरूको दुष्टता बढी भएको र तिनीहरूका हृदयका विचारको हरेक भावना निरन्तर खराबै मात्र भएको परमप्रभुले देख्नुभयो ।
When the Lord sawe that the wickednesse of man was great in the earth, and all the imaginations of the thoughtes of his heart were onely euill continually,
6 पृथ्वीमा मानव-जातिलाई बनाउनुभएकोमा परमप्रभुले पछुतो मान्नुभयो, र यसले उहाँलाई दुःखित तुल्यायो ।
Then it repented ye Lord, that he had made man in the earth, and he was sorie in his heart.
7 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 ।”
Therefore ye Lord said, I will destroy from the earth the man, whom I haue created, from man to beast, to the creeping thing, and to the foule of the heauen: for I repent that I haue made them.
8 तर नोआले परमप्रभुको निगाह पाए ।
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
9 यिनीहरू नोआ बारेका घटनाहरू थिए । नोआ तिनका समयमा मानिसहरूमा धर्मी र दोषरहित मानिस थिए । नोआ परमेश्वरसँग हिँडे ।
These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a iust and vpright man in his time: and Noah walked with God.
10 नोआ शेम, हाम र येपेत तिन छोराहरूका बुबा भए ।
And Noah begate three sonnes, Shem, Ham and Iapheth.
11 परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा पृथ्वी भ्रष्ट भएको र हिंसाले भरिएको थियो ।
The earth also was corrupt before God: for the earth was filled with crueltie.
12 परमेश्वरले पृथ्वीलाई देख्नुभयो; हेर, यो त भ्रष्ट थियो, किनकि पृथ्वीका सबै मानिसहरूका मार्ग भ्रष्ट भएका थिए ।
Then God looked vpon the earth, and beholde, it was corrupt: for all flesh had corrupt his way vpon the earth.
13 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 ।
And God said vnto Noah, An ende of all flesh is come before me: for the earth is filled with crueltie through them: and beholde, I wil destroy them with the earth.
14 तैँले आफ्नो निम्ति गोपेर काठको एउटा जहाज बनाउनू । जहाजभित्र कोठाहरू बनाउनू र त्यसलाई भित्र-बाहिर अलकत्र लगाउनू ।
Make thee an Arke of pine trees: thou shalt make cabines in the Arke, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 तैँले यसलाई यसरी बनाउनुः यसको लम्बाइ एक सय चालिस मिटर, चौडाइ तेईस मिटर र यसको उच्चाइ चौध मिटरको होस् ।
And thus shalt thou make it: The length of the Arke shalbe three hundreth cubites, the breadth of it fiftie cubites, and the height of it thirtie cubites.
16 जहाजको छानो बनाउनू र यसलाई टुप्पोमा एक पट्टी एक हात छोडेर सिद्ध्याउनू । जहाजको एकपट्टी ढोका राख्नू र पहिलो, दोस्रो र तेस्रो तला बनाउनू ।
A windowe shalt thou make in the Arke, and in a cubite shalt thou finish it aboue, and the doore of the Arke shalt thou set in the side thereof: thou shalt make it with the lowe, seconde and third roume.
17 सुन, जीवनको सास हुने आकाशमुनिका सबै प्राणीलाई सर्वनाश पार्न मैले पृथ्वीमा जलप्रलय ल्याउन लागेको छु । पृथ्वीमा भएको सबै प्राणी मर्नेछन् ।
And I, beholde, I will bring a flood of waters vpon the earth to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life vnder the heauen: all that is in the earth shall perish.
18 तर तँसँग म मेरो करार स्थापित गर्नेछु । तँ, तेरा छोराहरू, तेरी पत्नी र तेरा छोराहरूका पत्नीहरू जहाजभित्र आउनेछौ ।
But with thee will I establish my couenant, and thou shalt goe into the Arke, thou, and thy sonnes, and thy wife, and thy sonnes wiues with thee.
19 हरेक जीवित प्रणीमध्ये ठुला जनावरहरू र
And of euery liuing thing, of all flesh two of euery sort shalt thou cause to come into the Arke, to keepe them aliue with thee: they shalbe male and female.
20 पृथ्वीमाथि घस्रने जन्तुहरूलाई जीवित राख्न भाले र पोथी गरी दुइ-दुइ वटा जहाजभित्र ल्याउनू ।
Of the foules, after their kinde, and of the cattell after their kind, of euery creeping thing of the earth after his kinde, two of euery sort shall come vnto thee, that thou mayest keepe them aliue.
21 खानलाई र भण्डरण गर्नलाई सबै किसिमका खानेकुराहरू जम्मा गर्नू, जुन तेरो र तिनीहरूका निम्ति आहारा हुनेछ ।”
And take thou with thee of all meate that is eaten: and thou shalt gather it to thee, that it may be meate for thee and for them.
22 यसैले नोआले यो गरे । तिनले परमेश्वरले आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम गरे ।
Noah therefore did according vnto all, that God commanded him: euen so did he.
The World is Destroyed by Water
