Genesis 6
1 When people began to become very numerous all over the earth, and many daughters were born to them,
Y acaeció que cuando comenzaron los hombres a multiplicarse sobre la haz de la tierra, y les nacieron hijas,
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.
Viendo los hijos de Dios las hijas de los hombres que eran hermosas, tomáronse mujeres escogiendo entre todas.
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).”
Y dijo Jehová: No contenderá mi Espíritu con el hombre para siempre, porque ciertamente él es carne: mas serán sus días ciento y veinte años.
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.
Había gigantes en la tierra en aquellos días; y también después que entraron los hijos de Dios a las hijas de los hombres, y les engendraron hijos, estos fueron los valientes, que desde la antigüedad fueron varones de nombre.
5 Yahweh saw that people on the earth had become very wicked, and that everything they thought about evil things continually.
Y vio Jehová que la malicia de los hombres era mucha sobre la tierra, y que todo el intento de los pensamientos del corazón de ellos ciertamente era malo todo el tiempo.
6 Yahweh was sorry that he had made people.
Y arrepintióse Jehová de haber hecho hombre en la tierra; y pesóle en su corazón.
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.”
Y dijo Jehová: Raeré los hombres que he creado de sobre la haz de la tierra, desde el hombre hasta la bestia, y hasta el reptil, y hasta el ave de los cielos; porque me arrepiento de haberlos hecho.
8 But Yahweh was pleased with Noah.
Empero Noé halló gracia en los ojos de Jehová.
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 son las generaciones de Noé: Noé, varón justo, perfecto fue en sus generaciones: con Dios anduvo Noé.
10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Y engendró Noé tres hijos, a Sem, a Cam, y a Jafet.
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.
Y corrompióse la tierra delante de Dios, e hinchióse la tierra de violencia.
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.
Y vio Dios la tierra, y he aquí que estaba corrompida, porque toda carne había corrompido su camino sobre la tierra.
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.
Y dijo Dios a Noé: El fin de toda carne ha venido delante de mí: porque la tierra está llena de violencia delante de ellos: y he aquí que yo los destruyo a ellos con la tierra.
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]).
Hazte un arca de madera de cedro: harás apartamientos en el arca, y embetunarla has por de dentro y por de fuera con betún.
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.
Y de esta manera la harás: De trescientos codos la longura del arca, y de cincuenta codos su anchura, y de treinta codos su 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.
Una ventana harás al arca, y a un codo la acabarás de la parte de arriba: y la puerta del arca pondrás a su lado de suelos bajos, segundos, y terceros le harás.
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.
Y yo, he aquí que yo traigo un diluvio de aguas sobre la tierra, para destruir toda carne, en que haya espíritu de vida debajo del cielo: todo lo que hubiere en la tierra, morirá.
18 But I will make an agreement with you(sg): You and your wife, your sons and their wives will enter the boat.
Mas yo estableceré mi concierto contigo, y entrarás en el arca tú, y tus hijos, y tu mujer, y las mujeres de tus hijos 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.
Y de todo lo que vive, de toda carne, dos de cada uno meterás en el arca, para que tengan vida contigo: macho y hembra serán.
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.
De las aves según su especie, y de las bestias según su especie, de todo reptil de la tierra según su especie, dos de cada uno entrarán a ti, para que tengan 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.”
Y tú tómate de toda vianda que se come, y júntatela, y será para ti y para ellos por mantenimiento.
22 So Noah did everything that God told him to do.
E hizo Noé conforme a todo lo que le mandó Dios: así lo hizo.
The World is Destroyed by Water
