उत्पत्ति 6
1 मानिसहरूको संख्या पृथ्वीमा वृद्धि हुँदैजाँदा र तिनीहरूका छोरीहरू जन्मे,
And it came to pass when men had begun to multiply on the face of the ground and daughters had been born to them,
2 परमेश्वरका छोराहरूले मानव-जातिका छोरीहरूलाई आकर्षक (राम्री) देखे । तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूमध्ये कसैलाई आफैले चुनेको पत्नी ल्याए ।
that the sons of God saw the daughters of men! that they were, fair, —so they took to themselves wives of whomsoever they chose,
3 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “मेरो आत्मा मानव-जातिमा सदासर्वदा रहनेछैन, किनभने तिनीहरू शरीर हुन् । तिनीहरू १२० वर्ष बाँच्नेछन् ।”
And Yahweh said—My spirit shall not rule in man to times age—abiding, for that, he also, is flesh, —Yet his days shall be a hundred and 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 giants, were in the earth in those days, and also, after that, when the sons of God began to go in unto the daughters of men, and sons were born to them, the same, were the heroes that were from age-past times the men of renown.
5 पृथ्वीका मानिसहरूको दुष्टता बढी भएको र तिनीहरूका हृदयका विचारको हरेक भावना निरन्तर खराबै मात्र भएको परमप्रभुले देख्नुभयो ।
Then Yahweh saw that great, was the wickedness of man in the earth, and that, every purpose of the devices of his heart, was only wicked all the day;
6 पृथ्वीमा मानव-जातिलाई बनाउनुभएकोमा परमप्रभुले पछुतो मान्नुभयो, र यसले उहाँलाई दुःखित तुल्यायो ।
and it grieved Yahweh, that he had made man in the earth, —and he took sorrow unto 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 ।”
And Yahweh said—I must wipe off man whom I created from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast unto creeping thing, and unto the bird of the heavens, —for I am grieved that I made them.
8 तर नोआले परमप्रभुको निगाह पाए ।
But, Noah, had found favour in the eyes, of Yahweh.
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, in his generations, —with God, did Noah walk.
10 नोआ शेम, हाम र येपेत तिन छोराहरूका बुबा भए ।
And Noah begat three sons, —Shem, Ham and Japheth.
11 परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा पृथ्वी भ्रष्ट भएको र हिंसाले भरिएको थियो ।
And the earth corrupted itself 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 ।
And God beheld the earth, and lo! it had corrupted itself, —surely all flesh had corrupted its 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 ।
So God said unto Noah: the end of all flesh, hath come in before me, for, filled, is the earth with violence, because of them, —behold me, then, destroying them with the earth.
14 तैँले आफ्नो निम्ति गोपेर काठको एउटा जहाज बनाउनू । जहाजभित्र कोठाहरू बनाउनू र त्यसलाई भित्र-बाहिर अलकत्र लगाउनू ।
Make for thee an ark of timbers of gopher, rooms, shalt thou make with the ark, —and thou shalt cover 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, this, is how thou shalt make it, —three hundred cubits, the length of the ark, fifty cubits, the breadth thereof, and thirty cubits the height thereof.
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 place for light, shalt thou make to the ark and to a cubit, shalt thou finish it upwards, and the opening of the ark—in the side thereof, shalt thou put, —with lower, second and third stories, shalt thou make it.
17 सुन, जीवनको सास हुने आकाशमुनिका सबै प्राणीलाई सर्वनाश पार्न मैले पृथ्वीमा जलप्रलय ल्याउन लागेको छु । पृथ्वीमा भएको सबै प्राणी मर्नेछन् ।
And, I, behold me! bringing in the flood—even waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh wherein is the spirit of life, from under the heavens, —everything that is in the earth, shall cease to breathe:
18 तर तँसँग म मेरो करार स्थापित गर्नेछु । तँ, तेरा छोराहरू, तेरी पत्नी र तेरा छोराहरूका पत्नीहरू जहाजभित्र आउनेछौ ।
therefore will I establish my covenant with thee, —and thou shalt enter into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives, with thee.
19 हरेक जीवित प्रणीमध्ये ठुला जनावरहरू र
Moreover of all the living creatures of all flesh—two of each, shalt thou bring into the ark to keep alive with thee, —male and female, shall they be.
20 पृथ्वीमाथि घस्रने जन्तुहरूलाई जीवित राख्न भाले र पोथी गरी दुइ-दुइ वटा जहाजभित्र ल्याउनू ।
Of the bird after its kind and of the beast after its kind, [and] of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of each, shall come in unto thee. for keeping alive.
21 खानलाई र भण्डरण गर्नलाई सबै किसिमका खानेकुराहरू जम्मा गर्नू, जुन तेरो र तिनीहरूका निम्ति आहारा हुनेछ ।”
But thou, take to thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it unto thee, —and it shall be for thee and for them for food.
22 यसैले नोआले यो गरे । तिनले परमेश्वरले आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम गरे ।
And Noah did [so], —according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
The World is Destroyed by Water
