Genesis 6
1 And Noe was five hundred years old, and he begot three sons, Sem, Cham, and Japheth. And it came to pass when men began to be numerous upon the earth, and daughters were born to them,
Pripetilo se je, ko so se na obličju zemlje ljudje začeli množiti in so se jim rojevale hčere,
2 that the sons of God having seen the daughters of men that they were beautiful, took to themselves wives of all whom they chose.
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.
3 And the Lord God said, My Spirit shall certainly not remain amongst these men for ever, because they are flesh, but their days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
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.«
4 Now the giants were upon the earth in those days; and after that when the sons of God were wont to go in to the daughters of men, they bore [children] to them, those were the giants of old, the men of renown.
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.
5 And the Lord God, having seen that the wicked actions of men were multiplied upon the earth, and that every one in his heart was intently brooding over evil continually,
Bog pa je videl, da je bila človekova zlobnost na zemlji velika in da je bila vsaka miselna zamisel njegovega srca nenehno samo zla.
6 then God laid it to heart that he had made man upon the earth, and he pondered [it] deeply.
To je pokesalo Gospoda, da je na zemlji naredil človeka in to ga je užalostilo pri njegovem srcu.
7 And God said, I will blot out man whom I have made from the face of the earth, even man with cattle, and reptiles with flying creatures of the sky, for I am grieved that I have made them.
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.«
8 But Noe found grace before the Lord God.
Toda Noe je našel milost v Gospodovih očeh.
9 And these [are] the generations of Noe. Noe was a just man; being perfect in his generation, Noe was well-pleasing to God.
To so Noetovi rodovi. Noe je bil pravičen človek in popoln v svojih rodovih in Noe je hodil z Bogom.
10 And Noe begot three sons, Sem, Cham, Japheth.
Noe je zaplodil tri sinove: Sema, Hama in Jafeta.
11 But the earth was corrupted before God, and the earth was filled with iniquity.
Tudi zemlja je bila izprijena pred Bogom in zemlja je bila napolnjena z nasiljem.
12 And the Lord God saw the earth, and it was corrupted; because all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth.
Bog je pogledal na zemljo in glej, bila je izprijena, kajti vse meso na zemlji je izpridilo svojo pot.
13 And the Lord God said to Noe, A period of all men is come before me; because the earth has been filled with iniquity by them, and, behold, I destroy them and the earth.
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].
14 Make therefore for yourself an ark of square timber; you shall make the ark in compartments, and you shall pitch it within and without with pitch.
Naredi si ladjo iz gofrovega lesa. V ladji boš naredil prostore in jo zunaj in znotraj zasmolil s smolo.
15 And thus shall you make the ark; three hundred cubits the length of the ark, and fifty cubits the breadth, and thirty cubits the height of it.
In to je oblika, po kateri jo boš naredil: dolžina ladje naj bo tristo komolcev, njena širina petdeset komolcev in njena višina trideset komolcev.
16 You shall narrow the ark in making it, and in a cubit above you shall finish it, and the door of the ark you shall make on the side; with lower, second, and third storeys you shall make it.
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.
17 And behold I bring a flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven, and whatever things are upon the earth shall die.
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.
18 And I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall enter into the ark, and your sons and your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
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.
19 And of all cattle and of all reptiles and of all wild beasts, even of all flesh, you shall bring by pairs of all, into the ark, that you may feed them with yourself: male and female they shall be.
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.
20 Of all winged birds after their kind, and of all cattle after their kind, and of all reptiles creeping upon the earth after their kind, pairs of all shall come in to you, male and female to be fed with you.
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.
21 And you shall take to yourself of all kinds of food which you eat, and you shall gather them to yourself, and it shall be for you and them to eat.
K sebi vzemi od vse hrane, ki se jé in jo boš zbral k sebi, in ta bo za hrano zate in zanje.«
22 And Noe did all things whatever the Lord God commanded him, so did he.
Noe je storil tako; glede na vse, kar mu je Bog ukazal, je storil tako.
The World is Destroyed by Water
