< Gênesis 6 >

1 E aconteceu que, como os homens se começaram a multiplicar sobre a face da terra, e lhes nasceram filhas;
And it happened, when humankind began to multiply on the face of the land, 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.
that God's sons saw that the daughters of humankind were beautiful, and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.
3 Então disse o Senhor: Não contenderá o meu espírito para sempre com o homem; porque ele também é carne: porém os seus dias serão cento e vinte anos
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 Havia naqueles dias gigantes na terra; e também depois, quando os filhos de Deus entraram às filhas dos homens, e delas geraram filhos: estes eram os valentes que houve na antiguidade, os varões de fama.
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 E viu o Senhor que a maldade do homem se multiplicara sobre a terra, e que toda a imaginação dos pensamentos de seu coração era só má continuamente.
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 Então arrependeu-se o Senhor de haver feito o homem sobre a terra, e pezou-lhe em seu coração.
God was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was grieved in his heart.
7 E disse o Senhor: Destruirei o homem que criei de sobre a face da terra, desde o homem até ao animal, até ao réptil, e até à ave dos céus; porque me arrependo de os haver feito.
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 Noé porém achou graça aos olhos do Senhor.
But Noah found favor in the sight of God.
9 Estas são as gerações de Noé: Noé era varão justo e reto em suas gerações: Noé andava com Deus
These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
10 E gerou Noé três 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 violência.
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 look, 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 violência; e eis que os desfarei com a terra.
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 Faze para ti uma arca da madeira de Gopher: farás compartimentos na arca, e a betumarás por dentro e por fora com betume.
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 E desta maneira a farás: De trezentos côvados o comprimento da arca, e de cincoênta côvados a sua largura, e de trinta côvados a sua altura.
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 Farás na arca uma janela, e de um côvado a acabarás em cima; e a porta da arca porás ao seu lado; far-lhe-ás andares baixos, segundos e terceiros.
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 Porque eis que Eu trago um dilúvio de águas sobre a terra, para desfazer toda a carne em que há espírito de vida debaixo dos céus: tudo o que há na terra expirará.
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 Mas contigo estabelecerei o meu pacto; e entrarás na arca tu e os teus filhos, e a tua mulher, e as mulheres de teus filhos contigo.
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 E de tudo o que vive, de toda a carne, dois de cada espécie, meterás na arca, para os conservar vivos contigo; macho e fêmea serão.
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 Das aves conforme a sua espécie, e das bestas conforme a sua espécie, de todo o réptil da terra conforme a sua espécie, dois de cada espécie virão a ti, para os conservar em vida.
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 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 eles.
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 Assim fez Noé: conforme a tudo o que Deus lhe mandou, assim o fez.
Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
