उत्पत्ति 6

1 मानिसहरूको संख्या पृथ्वीमा वृद्धि हुँदैजाँदा र तिनीहरूका छोरीहरू जन्‍मे,

And it happened, when humankind began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,

2 परमेश्‍वरका छोराहरूले मानव-जातिका छोरीहरूलाई आकर्षक (राम्री) देखे । तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूमध्ये कसैलाई आफैले चुनेको पत्‍नी ल्याए ।

that God's sons saw that the daughters of humankind were beautiful, and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.

3 परमप्रभुले भन्‍नुभयो, “मेरो आत्मा मानव-जातिमा सदासर्वदा रहनेछैन, किनभने तिनीहरू शरीर हुन् । तिनीहरू १२० वर्ष बाँच्‍नेछन् ।”

And God said, "My Spirit will not remain in humankind forever, since he is indeed flesh; yet his days will be one hundred twenty years."

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 ।

The Nephilim were on the earth in those days (and also after that), when the sons of God had sexual relations with the daughters of humankind and had children by them. They were the mighty men who were from ancient times, famous men.

5 पृथ्वीका मानिसहरूको दुष्‍टता बढी भएको र तिनीहरूका हृदयका विचारको हरेक भावना निरन्तर खराबै मात्र भएको परमप्रभुले देख्‍नुभयो ।

And God saw that the wickedness of humankind was great on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6 पृथ्वीमा मानव-जातिलाई बनाउनुभएकोमा परमप्रभुले पछुतो मान्‍नुभयो, र यसले उहाँलाई दुःखित तुल्यायो ।

God was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was grieved 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 ।”

God said, "I will destroy humankind whom I have created from the face of the earth; humankind, along with animals, crawling creatures, and flying creatures of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."

8 तर नोआले परमप्रभुको निगाह पाए ।

But Noah found favor in the sight of God.

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 righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.

10 नोआ शेम, हाम र येपेत तिन छोराहरूका बुबा भए ।

Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11 परमेश्‍वरको दृष्‍टिमा पृथ्वी भ्रष्‍ट भएको र हिंसाले भरिएको थियो ।

The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

12 परमेश्‍वरले पृथ्वीलाई देख्‍नुभयो; हेर, यो त भ्रष्‍ट थियो, किनकि पृथ्वीका सबै मानिसहरूका मार्ग भ्रष्‍ट भएका थिए ।

God saw the earth, and look, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on 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 to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. And look, I will destroy them with the earth.

14 तैँले आफ्नो निम्ति गोपेर काठको एउटा जहाज बनाउनू । जहाजभित्र कोठाहरू बनाउनू र त्यसलाई भित्र-बाहिर अलकत्र लगाउनू ।

Make a box-shaped ship of gopher wood. You are to make rooms in the ship, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.

15 तैँले यसलाई यसरी बनाउनुः यसको लम्बाइ एक सय चालिस मिटर, चौडाइ तेईस मिटर र यसको उच्‍चाइ चौध मिटरको होस् ।

And this is how you are to make it. The length of the ship is to be five hundred seventeen feet, its breadth eighty-six feet, and its height fifty-two feet.

16 जहाजको छानो बनाउनू र यसलाई टुप्पोमा एक पट्टी एक हात छोडेर सिद्ध्याउनू । जहाजको एकपट्टी ढोका राख्‍नू र पहिलो, दोस्रो र तेस्रो तला बनाउनू ।

And you are to make a roof in the ship, and you are to finish it twenty-one inches above. And you are to set the door of the ship in its side. You are to make it with lower, second, and third levels.

17 सुन, जीवनको सास हुने आकाशमुनिका सबै प्राणीलाई सर्वनाश पार्न मैले पृथ्वीमा जलप्रलय ल्याउन लागेको छु । पृथ्वीमा भएको सबै प्राणी मर्नेछन् ।

And as for me, look, I am bringing a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is on the earth will die.

18 तर तँसँग म मेरो करार स्थापित गर्नेछु । तँ, तेरा छोराहरू, तेरी पत्‍नी र तेरा छोराहरूका पत्‍नीहरू जहाजभित्र आउनेछौ ।

But I will establish my covenant with you. You are to come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.

19 हरेक जीवित प्रणीमध्ये ठुला जनावरहरू र

Of every living thing of all flesh, you are to bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.

20 पृथ्वीमाथि घस्रने जन्‍तुहरूलाई जीवित राख्‍न भाले र पोथी गरी दुइ-दुइ वटा जहाजभित्र ल्याउनू ।

Of the flying creatures after their kind, of the animals after their kind, and of every crawling creature of the ground after their kind, two of every sort shall come to you, to keep them alive.

21 खानलाई र भण्डरण गर्नलाई सबै किसिमका खानेकुराहरू जम्‍मा गर्नू, जुन तेरो र तिनीहरूका निम्‍ति आहारा हुनेछ ।”

And as for you, take for yourself all the kinds of food that are eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be food for you, and for them."

22 यसैले नोआले यो गरे । तिनले परमेश्‍वरले आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम गरे ।

Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.

The World is Destroyed by Water
