Genesis 6
1 When people began to become very numerous all over the earth, and many daughters were born to them,
E aconteceu que, como os homens se começaram a multiplicar sobre a face da terra, e lhes nasceram filhas;
2 some of the men who (belonged to/believed in) God saw that some of the women who did not (belong to/believe in) God were very beautiful. So they took whichever ones they chose to become their wives.
Viram os filhos de Deus que as filhas dos homens eram formosas; e tomaram para si mulheres de todas as que escolheram.
3 Then Yahweh said, “[I will] not [allow] my Spirit to keep people alive forever (OR, the breath of life will not remain in people forever). They will die eventually. They will live not more than 120 years before they die (OR, there will be only 120 more years before they die).”
Então disse o Senhor: Não contenderá o meu espírito para sempre com o homem; porque ele também é carne: porém os seus dias serão cento e vinte anos
4 There were [giants called] Nephils who lived on the earth at that time and later. During that time [some of the Nephil] men who (belonged to/believed in) God had sex [EUP] with women who did not (belong to/believe in) God, and they gave birth to children. The Nephils were considered to be heroic fighters, and they became famous.
Havia naqueles dias gigantes na terra; e também depois, quando os filhos de Deus entraram às filhas dos homens, e delas geraram filhos: estes eram os valentes que houve na antiguidade, os varões de fama.
5 Yahweh saw that people on the earth had become very wicked, and that everything they thought about evil things continually.
E viu o Senhor que a maldade do homem se multiplicara sobre a terra, e que toda a imaginação dos pensamentos de seu coração era só má continuamente.
6 Yahweh was sorry that he had made people.
Então arrependeu-se o Senhor de haver feito o homem sobre a terra, e pezou-lhe em seu coração.
7 So he said, “I will completely destroy the people I made. I will also destroy all the animals and the creatures that scurry across the ground and the birds. None of them will remain on the earth, because I regret that I made them.”
E disse o Senhor: Destruirei o homem que criei de sobre a face da terra, desde o homem até ao animal, até ao réptil, e até à ave dos céus; porque me arrependo de os haver feito.
8 But Yahweh was pleased with Noah.
Noé porém achou graça aos olhos do Senhor.
9 This is why: Noah was a man who always acted in a righteous way. No one who lived at that time could criticize him about anything. Noah lived in close fellowship with God.
Estas são as gerações de Noé: Noé era varão justo e reto em suas gerações: Noé andava com Deus
10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
E gerou Noé três filhos: Sem, Cão, e Japhet.
11 At that time God considered that everyone else on earth was very wicked, and everywhere on the earth, people [MTY] were acting cruelly and violently toward each other.
A terra porém estava corrompida diante da face de Deus: e encheu-se a terra de violência.
12 God was dismayed when he saw how evil people [MTY] were, because everyone (OR, all living creatures) had begun to behave in an evil way.
E viu Deus a terra, e eis que estava corrompida; porque toda a carne havia corrompido o seu caminho sobre a terra.
13 So God said to Noah, “I have decided to destroy everyone, because all over the earth people are acting violently toward each other. So I am about to get rid of them as well as everything else on the earth.
Então disse Deus a Noé: O fim de toda a carne é vindo perante a minha face; porque a terra está cheia de violência; e eis que os desfarei com a terra.
14 [I want you to] make for yourself a large boat from cypress wood. Make rooms inside it. Cover the outside and the inside with tar [to make it (waterproof/so that water cannot get in and sink the boat]).
Faze para ti uma arca da madeira de Gopher: farás compartimentos na arca, e a betumarás por dentro e por fora com betume.
15 This is the size you must make it: It shall be (150 yards/135 meters) long, (25 yards/22.5 meters) wide, and (15 yards/13.5 meters) high.
E desta maneira a farás: De trezentos côvados o comprimento da arca, e de cincoênta côvados a sua largura, e de trinta côvados a sua altura.
16 Make a roof for the boat. Leave a space of about (18 in./.5 meter) between the sides and the roof to let air and light enter (OR, the middle of the roof should be 18 inches higher than the sides). Build the boat with three decks inside, and put a door in one side.
Farás na arca uma janela, e de um côvado a acabarás em cima; e a porta da arca porás ao seu lado; far-lhe-ás andares baixos, segundos e terceiros.
17 Listen carefully! I am about to cause a flood to occur that will destroy every creature that lives beneath the sky. Everything on the earth will die.
Porque eis que Eu trago um dilúvio de águas sobre a terra, para desfazer toda a carne em que há espírito de vida debaixo dos céus: tudo o que há na terra expirará.
18 But I will make an agreement with you(sg): You and your wife, your sons and their wives will enter the boat.
Mas contigo estabelecerei o meu pacto; e entrarás na arca tu e os teus filhos, e a tua mulher, e as mulheres de teus filhos contigo.
19 And I want to save some of all kinds of creatures. So you must also bring two of all living creatures, a male and a female, into the boat with you, so that their species also may remain alive.
E de tudo o que vive, de toda a carne, dois de cada espécie, meterás na arca, para os conservar vivos contigo; macho e fêmea serão.
20 Two of every kind of creature will come to [in order that by your putting them in the boat] you will keep them alive. They will include two of each kind of bird and each kind of animal and each kind of creature that scurries across the ground.
Das aves conforme a sua espécie, e das bestas conforme a sua espécie, de todo o réptil da terra conforme a sua espécie, dois de cada espécie virão a ti, para os conservar em vida.
21 You must also take some of every kind of food that you and all these animals will need, and store it in the boat.”
E tu toma para ti de toda a comida que se come, e ajunta-a para ti; e te será para mantimento para ti e para eles.
22 So Noah did everything that God told him to do.
Assim fez Noé: conforme a tudo o que Deus lhe mandou, assim o fez.
The World is Destroyed by Water
