< Gênesis 6 >

1 E aconteceu que, como os homens se começaram a multiplicar sobre a face da terra, e lhes nasceram filhas;
When men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were born to them,
2 Viram os filhos de Deus que as filhas dos homens eram formosas; e tomaram para si mulheres de todas as que escolheram.
God’s sons saw that men’s daughters were beautiful, and they took any that they wanted for themselves as wives.
3 Então disse o Senhor: Não contenderá o meu Espirito para sempre com o homem; porque elle tambem é carne: porém os seus dias serão cento e vinte annos
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 Havia n'aquelles dias gigantes na terra; e tambem depois, quando os filhos de Deus entraram ás filhas dos homens, e d'ellas geraram filhos: estes eram os valentes que houve na antiguidade, os varões de fama.
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 E viu o Senhor que a maldade do homem se multiplicára sobre a terra, e que toda a imaginação dos pensamentos de seu coração era só má continuamente.
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 Então arrependeu-se o Senhor de haver feito o homem sobre a terra, e pezou-lhe em seu coração.
Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
7 E disse o Senhor: Destruirei o homem que creei de sobre a face da terra, desde o homem até ao animal, até ao reptil, e até á ave dos céus; porque me arrependo de os haver feito.
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 Noé porém achou graça aos olhos do Senhor.
But Noah found favor in Yahweh’s eyes.
9 Estas são as gerações de Noé: Noé era varão justo e recto em suas gerações: Noé andava com Deus
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 E gerou Noé tres filhos: Sem, Cão, e Japhet.
Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 A terra porém estava corrompida diante da face de Deus: e encheu-se a terra de violencia.
The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 E viu Deus a terra, e eis que estava corrompida; porque toda a carne havia corrompido o seu caminho sobre a terra.
God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
13 Então disse Deus a Noé: O fim de toda a carne é vindo perante a minha face; porque a terra está cheia de violencia; e eis que os desfarei com a terra.
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 Faze para ti uma arca da madeira de Gopher: farás compartimentos na arca, e a betumarás por dentro e por fóra com betume.
Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.
15 E d'esta maneira a farás: De trezentos covados o comprimento da arca, e de cincoenta covados a sua largura, e de trinta covados a sua altura.
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 Farás na arca uma janella, e de um covado a acabarás em cima; e a porta da arca porás ao seu lado; far-lhe-has andares baixos, segundos e terceiros.
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 Porque eis que Eu trago um diluvio de aguas sobre a terra, para desfazer toda a carne em que ha espirito de vida debaixo dos céus: tudo o que ha na terra expirará.
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 Mas comtigo estabelecerei o meu pacto; e entrarás na arca tu e os teus filhos, e a tua mulher, e as mulheres de teus filhos comtigo.
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 E de tudo o que vive, de toda a carne, dois de cada especie, metterás na arca, para os conservar vivos comtigo; macho e femea serão.
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 Das aves conforme a sua especie, e das bestas conforme a sua especie, de todo o reptil da terra conforme a sua especie, dois de cada especie virão a ti, para os conservar em vida.
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 E tu toma para ti de toda a comida que se come, e ajunta-a para ti; e te será para mantimento para ti e para elles.
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 Assim fez Noé: conforme a tudo o que Deus lhe mandou, assim o fez.
Thus Noah did. He did all that God commanded him.
