उत्पत्ति 6
1 मानिसहरूको संख्या पृथ्वीमा वृद्धि हुँदैजाँदा र तिनीहरूका छोरीहरू जन्मे,
When men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were born to them,
2 परमेश्वरका छोराहरूले मानव-जातिका छोरीहरूलाई आकर्षक (राम्री) देखे । तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूमध्ये कसैलाई आफैले चुनेको पत्नी ल्याए ।
God’s sons saw that men’s daughters were beautiful, and they took any that they wanted for themselves as wives.
3 परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “मेरो आत्मा मानव-जातिमा सदासर्वदा रहनेछैन, किनभने तिनीहरू शरीर हुन् । तिनीहरू १२० वर्ष बाँच्नेछन् ।”
Yahweh said, “My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; so 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 in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God’s sons came in to men’s daughters and had children with them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
5 पृथ्वीका मानिसहरूको दुष्टता बढी भएको र तिनीहरूका हृदयका विचारको हरेक भावना निरन्तर खराबै मात्र भएको परमप्रभुले देख्नुभयो ।
Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil.
6 पृथ्वीमा मानव-जातिलाई बनाउनुभएकोमा परमप्रभुले पछुतो मान्नुभयो, र यसले उहाँलाई दुःखित तुल्यायो ।
Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him 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 ।”
Yahweh said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground—man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky—for I am sorry that I have made them.”
8 तर नोआले परमप्रभुको निगाह पाए ।
But Noah found favor in Yahweh’s eyes.
9 यिनीहरू नोआ बारेका घटनाहरू थिए । नोआ तिनका समयमा मानिसहरूमा धर्मी र दोषरहित मानिस थिए । नोआ परमेश्वरसँग हिँडे ।
This is the history of 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 saw that 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 ।
God said to Noah, “I will bring an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them and the earth.
14 तैँले आफ्नो निम्ति गोपेर काठको एउटा जहाज बनाउनू । जहाजभित्र कोठाहरू बनाउनू र त्यसलाई भित्र-बाहिर अलकत्र लगाउनू ।
Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal 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 ।
This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
16 जहाजको छानो बनाउनू र यसलाई टुप्पोमा एक पट्टी एक हात छोडेर सिद्ध्याउनू । जहाजको एकपट्टी ढोका राख्नू र पहिलो, दोस्रो र तेस्रो तला बनाउनू ।
You shall make a roof in the ship, and you shall finish it to a cubit upward. You shall set the door of the ship in its side. You shall 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 ।
I, even I, will bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in 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 shall 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 shall 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 birds after their kind, of the livestock after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort will come to you, to keep them alive.
21 खानलाई र भण्डरण गर्नलाई सबै किसिमका खानेकुराहरू जम्मा गर्नू, जुन तेरो र तिनीहरूका निम्ति आहारा हुनेछ ।”
Take with you some of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them.”
22 यसैले नोआले यो गरे । तिनले परमेश्वरले आज्ञा गर्नुभएबमोजिम गरे ।
Thus Noah did. He did all that God commanded him.
The World is Destroyed by Water
