Genesis 6

1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

人地の面に繁衍はじまりて女子之に生るるに及べる時

2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

神の子等人の女子の美しきを見て其好む所の者を取て妻となせり

3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

ヱホバいひたまひけるは我靈永く人と爭はじ其は彼も肉なればなり然ど彼の日は百二十年なるべし

4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

當時地にネピリムありき亦其後神の子輩人の女の所に入りて子女を生しめたりしが其等も勇士にして古昔の名聲ある人なりき

5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

ヱホバ人の惡の地に大なると其心の思念の都て圖維る所の恒に惟惡きのみなるを見たまへり

6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

是に於てヱホバ地の上に人を造りしことを悔いて心に憂へたまへり

7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repents me that I have made them.

ヱホバ言たまひけるは我が創造りし人を我地の面より拭去ん人より獸昆蟲天空の鳥にいたるまでほろぼさん其は我之を造りしことを悔ればなりと

8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

されどノアはヱホバの目のまへに恩を得たり

9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

ノアの傳は是なりノアは義人にして其世の完全き者なりきノア神と偕に歩めり

10 And Noah brings forth three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

ノアはセム、ハム、ヤペテの三人の子を生り

11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

時に世神のまへに亂れて暴虐世に滿盈ちたりき

12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

神世を視たまひけるに視よ亂れたり其は世の人皆其道をみだしたればなり

13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh has come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

神ノアに言たまひけるは諸の人の末期わが前に近づけり其は彼等のために暴虐世にみつればなり視よ我彼等を世とともに剪滅さん

14 Make you an ark of gopher wood; rooms shall you make in the ark, and shall pitch it within and without with pitch.

汝松木をもて汝のために方舟を造り方舟の中に房を作り瀝青をもて其内外を塗るべし

15 And this is the fashion which you shall make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

汝かく之を作るべし即ち其方舟の長は三百キユビト其濶は五十キユビト其高は三十キユビト

16 A window shall you make to the ark, and in a cubit shall you finish it above; and the door of the ark shall you set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shall you make it.

又方舟に導光牖を作り上一キユビトに之を作り終べし又方舟の戸は其傍に設くべし下牀と二階と三階とに之を作るべし

17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

視よ我洪水を地に起して凡て生命の氣息ある肉なる者を天下より剪滅し絶ん地にをる者は皆死ぬべし

18 But with you will I establish my covenant; and you shall come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife, and your sons' wives with you.

然ど汝とは我わが契約をたてん汝は汝の子等と汝の妻および汝の子等の妻とともに其方舟に入るべし

19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shall you bring into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.

又諸の生物總て肉なる者をば汝各其二を方舟に挈へいりて汝とともに其生命を保たしむべし其等は牝牡なるべし

20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto you, to keep them alive.

鳥其類に從ひ獸其類に從ひ地の諸の昆蟲其類に從ひて各二汝の所に至りて其生命を保つべし

21 And take you unto you of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to you; and it shall be for food for you, and for them.

汝食はるる諸の食品を汝の許に取て之を汝の所に集むべし是即ち汝と是等の物の食品となるべし

22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

ノア是爲し都て神の己に命じたまひしごとく然爲せり

The World is Destroyed by Water
