1 Мојсијева 6
1 А кад се људи почеше множити на земљи, и кћери им се народише.
When men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were born to them,
2 Видећи синови Божји кћери човечије како су лепе узимаше их за жене које хтеше.
God’s sons saw that men’s daughters were beautiful, and they took any that they wanted for themselves as wives.
3 А Господ рече: Неће се дух мој до века прети с људима, јер су тело; нека им још сто двадесет година.
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 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.
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 И Господ видећи да је неваљалство људско велико на земљи, и да су све мисли срца њиховог свагда само зле,
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 Покаја се Господ што је створио човека на земљи, и би му жао у срцу.
Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in 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.
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 Али Ноје нађе милост пред Господом.
But Noah found favor in Yahweh’s eyes.
9 Ово су догађаји Нојеви: Ноје беше човек праведан и безазлен свог века; по вољи Божјој свагда живљаше Ноје.
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 И роди Ноје три сина: Сима, Хама и Јафета.
Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 А земља се поквари пред Богом, и напуни се земља безакоња.
The earth 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.
God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on 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.
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 Начини себи ковчег од дрвета гофера, и начини прегратке у ковчегу; и затопи га смолом изнутра и споља.
Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.
15 И начини га овако; у дужину нека буде триста лаката, у ширину педесет лаката, и у висину тридесет лаката;
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 И од свега живог, од сваког тела, узећеш у ковчег по двоје, да сачуваш у животу са собом, а мушко и женско нека буде.
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 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 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 И узми са собом свега што се једе, и чувај код себе, да буде хране теби и њима.
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 И Ноје учини, како му заповеди Бог, све онако учини.
Thus Noah did. He did all that God commanded him.
The World is Destroyed by Water
