< Genesis 6 >

1 When people began to become very numerous all over the earth, and many daughters were born to them,
At nangyari, nang magpasimula na dumami ang mga tao sa balat ng lupa, at mangagkaanak ng mga babae,
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.
Na nakita ng mga anak ng Dios, na magaganda ang mga anak na babae ng mga tao; at sila'y nangagsikuha ng kanikaniyang asawa sa lahat ng kanilang pinili.
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).”
At sinabi ng Panginoon, Ang aking Espiritu ay hindi makikipagpunyagi sa tao magpakailan man, sapagka't siya ma'y laman: gayon ma'y magiging isang daan at dalawang pung taon ang kaniyang mga araw.
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.
Ang mga higante ay nasa lupa ng mga araw na yaon, at pagkatapos din naman na makasiping ang mga anak ng Dios sa mga anak na babae ng tao, at mangagkaanak sila sa kanila: ang mga ito rin ang naging makapangyarihan nang unang panahon na mga lalaking bantog.
5 Yahweh saw that people on the earth had become very wicked, and that everything they thought about evil things continually.
At nakita ng Panginoon na mabigat ang kasamaan ng tao sa lupa, at ang buong haka ng mga pagiisip ng kaniyang puso ay pawang masama lamang na parati.
6 Yahweh was sorry that he had made people.
At nagsisi ang Panginoon na kaniyang nilalang ang tao sa lupa, at nalumbay sa kaniyang puso.
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.”
At sinabi ng Panginoon, Lilipulin ko ang tao na aking nilalang sa ibabaw ng lupa; ang tao at gayon din ang hayop, at ang mga umuusad at ang mga ibon sa himpapawid; sapagka't pinagsisisihan ko na aking nilalang sila.
8 But Yahweh was pleased with Noah.
Datapuwa't si Noe ay nakasumpong ng biyaya sa mga mata ng Panginoon.
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.
Ito ang mga lahi ni Noe. Si Noe ay lalaking matuwid at sakdal noong kapanahunan niya: si Noe ay lumalakad na kasama ng Dios.
10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
At nagkaanak si Noe ng tatlong lalake: si Sem, si Cham, at si 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.
At sumama ang lupa sa harap ng Dios, at ang lupa ay napuno ng karahasan.
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.
At tiningnan ng Dios ang lupa, at, narito sumama; sapagka't pinasama ng lahat ng tao ang kanilang paglakad sa ibabaw ng lupa.
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.
At sinabi ng Dios kay Noe, Ang wakas ng lahat ng tao ay dumating sa harap ko; sapagka't ang lupa ay napuno ng karahasan dahil sa kanila; at, narito, sila'y aking lilipuling kalakip ng lupa.
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]).
Gumawa ka ng isang sasakyang kahoy na gofer; gagawa ka ng mga silid sa sasakyan, at iyong sisiksikan sa loob at sa labas ng sahing.
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.
At ganitong paraan gagawin mo: tatlong daang siko ang haba ng sasakyan, limang pung siko ang luwang, at tatlong pung siko ang taas.
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.
Gagawa ka ng isang durungawan sa sasakyan; at wawakasan mo ng isang siko sa dakong itaas; at ang pintuan ng sasakyan ay ilalagay mo sa tagiliran; gagawin mong may lapag na lalong mababa, pangalawa at pangatlo.
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.
At ako, narito, ako'y magpapadagsa ng isang baha ng tubig sa ibabaw ng lupa, upang lipulin sa silong ng langit ang lahat ng laman na may hininga ng buhay; ang lahat na nasa lupa ay mangamamatay.
18 But I will make an agreement with you(sg): You and your wife, your sons and their wives will enter the boat.
Datapuwa't pagtitibayin ko ang aking tipan sa iyo; at ikaw ay lululan sa sasakyan, ikaw, at ang iyong mga anak na lalake, at ang iyong asawa, at ang mga asawa ng iyong mga anak na kasama mo.
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.
At sa bawa't nangabubuhay, sa lahat ng laman ay maglululan ka sa loob ng sasakyan ng dalawa sa bawa't uri upang maingatan silang buhay, na kasama mo; lalake at babae ang kinakailangan.
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.
Sa mga ibon ayon sa kanikanilang uri, at sa mga hayop ayon sa kanikanilang uri, sa bawa't nagsisiusad, ayon sa kanikanilang uri, dalawa sa bawa't uri, ay isasama mo sa iyo, upang maingatan silang buhay.
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.”
At magbaon ka ng lahat na pagkain na kinakain, at imbakin mo sa iyo; at magiging pagkain mo at nila.
22 So Noah did everything that God told him to do.
Gayon ginawa ni Noe; ayon sa lahat na iniutos sa kaniya ng Dios, ay gayon ang ginawa niya.
