1 Mojzes 6

1 Pripetilo se je, ko so se na obličju zemlje ljudje začeli množiti in so se jim rojevale hčere,

Now when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born to them,

2 da so Božji sinovi videli človeške hčere, da so bile lepe in so si jih jemali za žene od vseh, ki so si jih izbrali.

the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they took as wives whomever they chose.

3 Gospod je rekel: »Moj duh se ne bo vedno prepiral s človekom, kajti on je prav tako meso, vendar bo njegovih dni sto dvajset let.«

So the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days shall be 120 years.”

4 Takrat, v tistih dneh, so bili na zemlji velikani; in tudi potem, ko so Božji sinovi vstopali noter v človeške hčere in so jim te rodile otroke, so ti isti postali mogočni možje, ki so bili iz davnine, možje z ugledom.

The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and afterward as well—when the sons of God had relations with the daughters of men. And they bore them children who became the mighty men of old, men of renown.

5 Bog pa je videl, da je bila človekova zlobnost na zemlji velika in da je bila vsaka miselna zamisel njegovega srca nenehno samo zla.

Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the time.

6 To je pokesalo Gospoda, da je na zemlji naredil človeka in to ga je užalostilo pri njegovem srcu.

And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.

7 Gospod je rekel: »Uničil bom človeka, ki sem ga ustvaril, izpred obličja zemlje, « tako človeka kakor žival in plazečo stvar ter perjad neba, kajti to me je pokesalo, da sem jih naredil.«

So the LORD said, “I will blot out man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—every man and beast and crawling creature and bird of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them.”

8 Toda Noe je našel milost v Gospodovih očeh.

Noah, however, found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

9 To so Noetovi rodovi. Noe je bil pravičen človek in popoln v svojih rodovih in Noe je hodil z Bogom.

This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.

10 Noe je zaplodil tri sinove: Sema, Hama in Jafeta.

And Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11 Tudi zemlja je bila izprijena pred Bogom in zemlja je bila napolnjena z nasiljem.

Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and full of violence.

12 Bog je pogledal na zemljo in glej, bila je izprijena, kajti vse meso na zemlji je izpridilo svojo pot.

And God looked upon the earth and saw that it was corrupt; for all living creatures on the earth had corrupted their ways.

13 Bog je Noetu rekel: »Konec vsega mesa je prišel predme, kajti zemlja je po njih napolnjena z nasiljem, in glej, uničil jih bom, z zemljo [vred].

Then God said to Noah, “The end of all living creatures has come before Me, because through them the earth is full of violence. Now behold, I will destroy both them and the earth.

14 Naredi si ladjo iz gofrovega lesa. V ladji boš naredil prostore in jo zunaj in znotraj zasmolil s smolo.

Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark and coat it with pitch inside and out.

15 In to je oblika, po kateri jo boš naredil: dolžina ladje naj bo tristo komolcev, njena širina petdeset komolcev in njena višina trideset komolcev.

And this is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.

16 Ladji boš naredil okno in komolec nad tem jo boš končal. Vrata ladje boš napravil na njeni strani; s spodnjim, drugim in tretjim nadstropjem jo boš naredil.

You are to make a roof for the ark, finish its walls a cubit from the top, place a door in the side of the ark, and build lower, middle, and upper decks.

17 Glej jaz, celó jaz, privedem na zemljo poplavo vodá, da uničim vse meso, v katerem je dih življenja izpod neba in vsaka stvar, ki je na zemlji, bo umrla.

And behold, I will bring floodwaters upon the earth to destroy every creature under the heavens that has the breath of life. Everything on the earth will perish.

18 Toda s teboj bom vzpostavil svojo zavezo, in prišel boš na ladjo, ti in tvoji sinovi in tvoja žena in žene tvojih sinov s teboj.

But I will establish My covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.

19 Od vsake žive stvari, od vsega mesa, boš s seboj na ladjo privedel [po] dva od vsake vrste, da jih s teboj obvaruješ žive; naj bodo samec in samica.

And you are to bring two of every living creature into the ark—male and female—to keep them alive with you.

20 Od perjadi po njihovi vrsti in od živine po njihovi vrsti, od vsake zemeljske plazeče stvari po njeni vrsti, [po] dva od vsake vrste bosta prišla k tebi, da ju obvaruješ živa.

Two of every kind of bird and animal and crawling creature will come to you to be kept alive.

21 K sebi vzemi od vse hrane, ki se jé in jo boš zbral k sebi, in ta bo za hrano zate in zanje.«

You are also to take for yourself every kind of food that is eaten and gather it as food for yourselves and for the animals.”

22 Noe je storil tako; glede na vse, kar mu je Bog ukazal, je storil tako.

So Noah did everything precisely as God had commanded him.

The World is Destroyed by Water
