1 Мојсијева 6
1 А кад се људи почеше множити на земљи, и кћери им се народише.
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them,
2 Видећи синови Божји кћери човечије како су лепе узимаше их за жене које хтеше.
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all whom they chose.
3 А Господ рече: Неће се дух мој до века прети с људима, јер су тело; нека им још сто двадесет година.
And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 А беше тада дивова на земљи; а и после, кад се синови Божји састајаху са кћерима човечијим, па им оне рађаху синове; то беху силни људи, од старине на гласу.
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
5 И Господ видећи да је неваљалство људско велико на земљи, и да су све мисли срца њиховог свагда само зле,
And God 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 Покаја се Господ што је створио човека на земљи, и би му жао у срцу.
And the LORD repented that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 И рече Господ: Хоћу да истребим са земље људе, које сам створио, од човека до стоке и до ситне животиње и до птица небеских; јер се кајем што сам их створио.
And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for I repent that I have made them.
8 Али Ноје нађе милост пред Господом.
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
9 Ово су догађаји Нојеви: Ноје беше човек праведан и безазлен свог века; по вољи Божјој свагда живљаше Ноје.
These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
10 И роди Ноје три сина: Сима, Хама и Јафета.
And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 А земља се поквари пред Богом, и напуни се земља безакоња.
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 И погледа Бог на земљу, а она беше покварена; јер свако тело поквари пут свој на земљи.
And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 И рече Бог Ноју: Крај сваком телу дође преда ме, јер напунише земљу безакоња; и ево хоћу да их затрем са земљом.
And God said to 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 Начини себи ковчег од дрвета гофера, и начини прегратке у ковчегу; и затопи га смолом изнутра и споља.
Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 И начини га овако; у дужину нека буде триста лаката, у ширину педесет лаката, и у висину тридесет лаката;
And this is the fashion in which thou shalt make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 Пусти доста светлости у ковчег; и кров му сведи озго од лакта; и удари врата ковчегу са стране; и начини га на три боја: доњи, други и трећи.
A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in its side; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
17 Јер ево пустићу потоп на земљу да истребим свако тело у коме има жива душа под небом; шта је год на земљи све ће изгинути.
And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is on the earth shall die.
18 Али ћу с тобом учинити завет свој: и ући ћеш у ковчег ти и синови твоји и жена твоја и жене синова твојих с тобом.
But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee.
19 И од свега живог, од сваког тела, узећеш у ковчег по двоје, да сачуваш у животу са собом, а мушко и женско нека буде.
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 Од птица по врстама њиховим, од стоке по врстама њеним, и од свега што се миче на земљи по врстама његовим, од свега по двоје нека уђе с тобом, да их сачуваш у животу.
Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every sort shall come to thee, to keep them alive.
21 И узми са собом свега што се једе, и чувај код себе, да буде хране теби и њима.
And take thou to thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22 И Ноје учини, како му заповеди Бог, све онако учини.
Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
The World is Destroyed by Water
