Genesis 5
1 Here is a list of the descendants of Adam. When God created humans, he caused them to be like him in many ways.
Voici le livre de la génération d’Adam. Au jour que Dieu créa l’homme, c’est à la ressemblance de Dieu qu’il le fit.
2 He created one man and one woman. He blessed them, and on the day that he created them, he called them ‘human beings’.
Il créa un homme et une femme, et il les bénit: et il les appela du nom d’Adam, au jour où ils furent créés.
3 When Adam was 130 years old, he became the father of a son who [grew up to] be just like him. That was the son he named Seth.
Or Adam vécut cent trente ans, et il engendra un fils à son image et à sa ressemblance, et il l’appela du nom de Seth.
4 After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 more years, and during those years he became the father of other sons and daughters.
Et les jours d’Adam, après qu’il eut engendré Seth, furent de huit cents ans; et il eut encore des fils et des filles.
5 Adam lived 930 years altogether, and then he died.
Ainsi tout le temps que vécut Adam fut de neuf cent trente ans, et il mourut.

22 Enoch lived in close fellowship with God for 300 years after Methuselah was born, and he became the father of other sons and daughters.
Or Hénoch marcha avec Dieu, et vécut, après qu’il eut engendré Mathusala, trois cents ans, et il engendra des fils et des filles.
23 Enoch lived 365 years altogether in close fellowship with God.
Ainsi tous les jours d’Hénoch furent de trois cent soixante cinq ans.
24 Then one day he disappeared, because God took him away [to be with him in heaven].

Lamech vécut cent quatre-vingt-deux ans, et il engendra un fils.
29 whom he named Noah, [which sounds like the Hebrew word that means ‘relief’], because he said, “He will bring us relief from all the hard work we have been doing to produce food from the ground that Yahweh cursed.”
Il l’appela du nom de Noé, disant: Celui-ci nous consolera des œuvres et des travaux pénibles de nos mains dans cette terre qu’a maudite le Seigneur.
