Postanak 6
1 A kad se ljudi poèeše množiti na zemlji, i kæeri im se narodiše.
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 Videæi sinovi Božji kæeri èovjeèije kako su lijepe uzimaše ih za žene koje htješe.
that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives, whomsoever they chose.
3 A Gospod reèe: neæe se duh moj dovijeka preti s ljudima, jer su tijelo; neka im još sto i dvadeset godina.
And the LORD said: 'My spirit shall not abide in man for ever, for that he also is flesh; therefore shall his days be a hundred and twenty years.'
4 A bijaše tada divova na zemlji; a i poslije, kad se sinovi Božji sastajahu sa kæerima èovjeèijim, pa im one raðahu sinove; to bijahu silni ljudi, od starine na glasu.
The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them; the same were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.
5 I Gospod videæi da je nevaljalstvo ljudsko veliko na zemlji, i da su sve misli srca njihova svagda samo zle,
And the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 Pokaja se Gospod što je stvorio èovjeka na zemlji, i bi mu žao u srcu.
And it repented the LORD that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart.
7 I reèe Gospod: hoæu da istrijebim sa zemlje ljude, koje sam stvorio, od èovjeka do stoke i do sitne životinje i do ptica nebeskih; jer se kajem što sam ih stvorio.
And the LORD said: 'I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and creeping thing, and fowl of the air; for it repenteth Me that I have made them.'
8 Ali Noje naðe milost pred Gospodom.
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
9 Ovo su dogaðaji Nojevi: Noje bješe èovjek pravedan i bezazlen svojega vijeka; po volji Božjoj svagda življaše Noje.
These are the generations of Noah. Noah was in his generations a man righteous and whole-hearted; Noah walked with God.
10 I rodi Noje tri sina: Sima, Hama i Jafeta.
And Noah begot three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 A zemlja se pokvari pred Bogom, i napuni se zemlja bezakonja.
And the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 I pogleda Bog na zemlju, a ona bješe pokvarena; jer svako tijelo pokvari put svoj na zemlji.
And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
13 I reèe Bog Noju: kraj svakome tijelu doðe preda me, jer napuniše zemlju bezakonja; i evo hoæu da ih zatrem sa zemljom.
And God said unto Noah: 'The end of all flesh is come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Naèini sebi kovèeg od drveta gofera, i naèini pregratke u kovèegu; i zatopi ga smolom iznutra i spolja.
Make thee an ark of gopher wood; with rooms shalt thou make the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 I naèini ga ovako: u dužinu neka bude trista lakata, u širinu pedeset lakata, i u visinu trideset lakata;
And this is how thou shalt make it: the length of the ark three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 Pusti dosta svjetlosti u kovèeg; i krov mu svedi ozgo od lakta; i udari vrata kovèegu sa strane; i naèini ga na tri boja: donji, drugi i treæi.
A light shalt thou make to the ark, and to a cubit shalt thou finish it upward; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
17 Jer evo pustiæu potop na zemlju, da istrijebim svako tijelo, u kojem ima živa duša pod nebom; što je god na zemlji sve æe izginuti.
And I, behold, I do bring the flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; every thing that is in the earth shall perish.
18 Ali æu s tobom uèiniti zavjet svoj: i uæi æeš u kovèeg ti i sinovi tvoji i žena tvoja i žene sinova tvojih s tobom.
But I will establish My covenant with thee; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19 I od svega živa, od svakoga tijela, uzeæeš u kovèeg po dvoje, da saèuvaš u životu sa sobom, a muško i žensko neka bude.
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
20 Od ptica po vrstama njihovijem, od stoke po vrstama njezinijem, i od svega što se mièe na zemlji po vrstama njegovijem, od svega po dvoje neka uðe s tobom, da ih saèuvaš u životu.
Of the fowl after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
21 I uzmi sa sobom svega što se jede, i èuvaj kod sebe, da bude hrane tebi i njima.
And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.'
22 I Noje uèini, kako mu zapovjedi Bog, sve onako uèini.
Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
The World is Destroyed by Water
