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."

5 RAB baktı, yeryüzünde insanın yaptığı kötülük çok, aklı fikri hep kötülükte.
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.

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.

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 Yeryüzüne tufan göndereceğim. Göklerin altında soluk alan bütün canlıları yok edeceğim. Yeryüzündeki her canlı ölecek.
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.

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 Sağ kalabilmeleri için her canlı türünden bir erkek, bir dişi olmak üzere birer çifti gemiye al.
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 Çeşit çeşit kuşlar, hayvanlar, sürüngenler sağ kalmak için çifter çifter sana gelecekler.
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 Yanına hem kendin, hem onlar için yenebilecek ne varsa al, ilerde yemek üzere depola.”
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 Nuh Tanrı'nın bütün buyruklarını yerine getirdi.
Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
