< Genesis 6 >

1 And when men began to be multiplied 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 the sons of God, seeing that the daughters of men were beautiful, took to themselves wives from 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 God said: “My spirit shall not remain in man forever, because he is flesh. And so his days shall be one 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 giants were upon the earth in those days. For after the sons of God went in to the daughters of men, and they conceived, these became the powerful ones of ancient times, 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 Then God, seeing that the wickedness of men was great upon the earth and that every thought of their heart was intent upon evil at all times,
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 repented that he had made man on the earth. And being touched inwardly with a sorrow of heart,
To je pokesalo Gospoda, da je na zemlji naredil človeka in to ga je užalostilo pri njegovem srcu.
7 he said, “I will eliminate man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, from man to other living things, from animals even to the flying things of the air. For it grieves me 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 Yet truly, Noah found grace before the Lord.
Toda Noe je našel milost v Gospodovih očeh.
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a just man, and yet he was predominate among his generations, for he walked with God.
To so Noetovi rodovi. Noe je bil pravičen človek in popoln v svojih rodovih in Noe je hodil z Bogom.
10 And he conceived three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Noe je zaplodil tri sinove: Sema, Hama in Jafeta.
11 Yet the earth was corrupted before the eyes of God, and it was filled with iniquity.
Tudi zemlja je bila izprijena pred Bogom in zemlja je bila napolnjena z nasiljem.
12 And when God had seen that the earth had been corrupted, (indeed, 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 he said to Noah: “The end of all flesh has arrived in my sight. The earth has been filled with iniquity by their presence, and I will destroy them, along with 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 yourself an ark from smoothed wood. You shall make little dwelling places in the ark, and you shall smear pitch on the interior and exterior.
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 it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
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 make a window in the ark, and you shall complete it within a cubit of the top. Then you shall set the door of the ark at its side. You shall make in it: a lower part, upper rooms, and a third level.
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 Behold, I shall bring the waters of a great flood upon the earth, so as to put to death all flesh in which there is the breath of life under heaven. All things that are on the earth shall be consumed.
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 shall establish my covenant with you, and you shall enter the ark, you and your sons, your wife and the wives of your sons 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 from every living thing of all that is flesh, you shall lead pairs into the ark, so that they may survive with you: from the male sex and the female,
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 from birds, according to their kind, and from beasts, in their kind, and from among all animals on earth, according to their kind; pairs from each shall enter with you, so that they may be able to live.
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 Therefore, you shall take with you from all the foods that are able to be eaten, and you shall carry these with you. And these shall be used as food, some for you, and the rest for them.”
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 so Noah did all things just as God had instructed him.
Noe je storil tako; glede na vse, kar mu je Bog ukazal, je storil tako.
