Genesis 6

1 And after a time, when men were increasing on the earth, and had daughters,

A kad se ljudi poèeše množiti na zemlji, i kæeri im se narodiše.

2 The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took wives for themselves from those who were pleasing to them.

Videæi sinovi Božji kæeri èovjeèije kako su lijepe uzimaše ih za žene koje htješe.

3 And the Lord said, My spirit will not be in man for ever, for he is only flesh; so the days of his life will be a hundred and twenty years.

A Gospod reèe: neæe se duh moj dovijeka preti s ljudima, jer su tijelo; neka im još sto i dvadeset godina.

4 There were men of great strength and size on the earth in those days; and after that, when the sons of God had connection with the daughters of men, they gave birth to children: these were the great men of old days, the men of great name.

A bijaše tada divova na zemlji; a i poslije, kad se sinovi Božji sastajahu sa kæerima èovjeèijim, pa im one raðahu sinove; to bijahu silni ljudi, od starine na glasu.

5 And the Lord saw that the sin of man was great on the earth, and that all the thoughts of his heart were evil.

I Gospod videæi da je nevaljalstvo ljudsko veliko na zemlji, i da su sve misli srca njihova svagda samo zle,

6 And the Lord had sorrow because he had made man on the earth, and grief was in his heart.

Pokaja se Gospod što je stvorio èovjeka na zemlji, i bi mu žao u srcu.

7 And the Lord said, I will take away man, whom I have made, from the face of the earth, even man and beast and that which goes on the earth and every bird of the air; for I have sorrow for having made them.

I reèe Gospod: hoæu da istrijebim sa zemlje ljude, koje sam stvorio, od èovjeka do stoke i do sitne životinje i do ptica nebeskih; jer se kajem što sam ih stvorio.

8 But Noah had grace in the eyes of God.

Ali Noje naðe milost pred Gospodom.

9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was an upright man and without sin in his generation: he went in the ways of God.

Ovo su dogaðaji Nojevi: Noje bješe èovjek pravedan i bezazlen svojega vijeka; po volji Božjoj svagda življaše Noje.

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

I rodi Noje tri sina: Sima, Hama i Jafeta.

11 And the earth was evil in God's eyes and full of violent ways.

A zemlja se pokvari pred Bogom, i napuni se zemlja bezakonja.

12 And God, looking on the earth, saw that it was evil: for the way of all flesh had become evil on the earth.

I pogleda Bog na zemlju, a ona bješe pokvarena; jer svako tijelo pokvari put svoj na zemlji.

13 And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come; the earth is full of their violent doings, and now I will put an end to them with the earth.

I reèe Bog Noju: kraj svakome tijelu doðe preda me, jer napuniše zemlju bezakonja; i evo hoæu da ih zatrem sa zemljom.

14 Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood with rooms in it, and make it safe from the water inside and out.

Naèini sebi kovèeg od drveta gofera, i naèini pregratke u kovèegu; i zatopi ga smolom iznutra i spolja.

15 And this is the way you are to make it: it is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.

I naèini ga ovako: u dužinu neka bude trista lakata, u širinu pedeset lakata, i u visinu trideset lakata;

16 You are to put a window in the ark, a cubit from the roof, and a door in the side of it, and you are to make it with a lower and second and third floors.

Pusti dosta svjetlosti u kovèeg; i krov mu svedi ozgo od lakta; i udari vrata kovèegu sa strane; i naèini ga na tri boja: donji, drugi i treæi.

17 For truly, I will send a great flow of waters over the earth, for the destruction from under the heaven of all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything on the earth will come to an end.

Jer evo pustiæu potop na zemlju, da istrijebim svako tijelo, u kojem ima živa duša pod nebom; što je god na zemlji sve æe izginuti.

18 But with you I will make an agreement; and you will come into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.

Ali æu s tobom uèiniti zavjet svoj: i uæi æeš u kovèeg ti i sinovi tvoji i žena tvoja i žene sinova tvojih s tobom.

19 And you will take with you into the ark two of every sort of living thing, and keep them safe with you; they will be male and female.

I od svega živa, od svakoga tijela, uzeæeš u kovèeg po dvoje, da saèuvaš u životu sa sobom, a muško i žensko neka bude.

20 Two of every sort of bird and cattle and of every sort of living thing which goes on the earth will you take with you to keep them from destruction.

Od ptica po vrstama njihovijem, od stoke po vrstama njezinijem, i od svega što se mièe na zemlji po vrstama njegovijem, od svega po dvoje neka uðe s tobom, da ih saèuvaš u životu.

21 And make a store of every sort of food for yourself and them.

I uzmi sa sobom svega što se jede, i èuvaj kod sebe, da bude hrane tebi i njima.

22 And all these things Noah did; as God said, so he did.

I Noje uèini, kako mu zapovjedi Bog, sve onako uèini.

The World is Destroyed by Water
