< Genesis 6 >

1 When men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were born to them,
Pripetilo se je, ko so se na obličju zemlje ljudje začeli množiti in so se jim rojevale hčere,
2 God’s sons saw that men’s daughters were beautiful, and they took any that they wanted for themselves as wives.
da so Božji sinovi videli človeške hčere, da so bile lepe in so si jih jemali za žene od vseh, ki so si jih izbrali.
3 The LORD said, “My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; so his days will be one hundred twenty years.”
Gospod je rekel: »Moj duh se ne bo vedno prepiral s človekom, kajti on je prav tako meso, vendar bo njegovih dni sto dvajset let.«
4 The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God’s sons came in to men’s daughters and had children with them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
Takrat, v tistih dneh, so bili na zemlji velikani; in tudi potem, ko so Božji sinovi vstopali noter v človeške hčere in so jim te rodile otroke, so ti isti postali mogočni možje, ki so bili iz davnine, možje z ugledom.
5 The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil.
Bog pa je videl, da je bila človekova zlobnost na zemlji velika in da je bila vsaka miselna zamisel njegovega srca nenehno samo zla.
6 The LORD was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
To je pokesalo Gospoda, da je na zemlji naredil človeka in to ga je užalostilo pri njegovem srcu.
7 The LORD said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground—man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky—for I am sorry that I have made them.”
Gospod je rekel: »Uničil bom človeka, ki sem ga ustvaril, izpred obličja zemlje, « tako človeka kakor žival in plazečo stvar ter perjad neba, kajti to me je pokesalo, da sem jih naredil.«
8 But Noah found favor in the LORD’s eyes.
Toda Noe je našel milost v Gospodovih očeh.
9 This is the history of the generations of Noah: Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
To so Noetovi rodovi. Noe je bil pravičen človek in popoln v svojih rodovih in Noe je hodil z Bogom.
10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Noe je zaplodil tri sinove: Sema, Hama in Jafeta.
11 The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Tudi zemlja je bila izprijena pred Bogom in zemlja je bila napolnjena z nasiljem.
12 God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
Bog je pogledal na zemljo in glej, bila je izprijena, kajti vse meso na zemlji je izpridilo svojo pot.
13 God said to Noah, “I will bring an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them and the earth.
Bog je Noetu rekel: »Konec vsega mesa je prišel predme, kajti zemlja je po njih napolnjena z nasiljem, in glej, uničil jih bom, z zemljo [vred].
14 Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.
Naredi si ladjo iz gofrovega lesa. V ladji boš naredil prostore in jo zunaj in znotraj zasmolil s smolo.
15 This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
In to je oblika, po kateri jo boš naredil: dolžina ladje naj bo tristo komolcev, njena širina petdeset komolcev in njena višina trideset komolcev.
16 You shall make a roof in the ship, and you shall finish it to a cubit upward. You shall set the door of the ship in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels.
Ladji boš naredil okno in komolec nad tem jo boš končal. Vrata ladje boš napravil na njeni strani; s spodnjim, drugim in tretjim nadstropjem jo boš naredil.
17 I, even I, will bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die.
Glej jaz, celó jaz, privedem na zemljo poplavo vodá, da uničim vse meso, v katerem je dih življenja izpod neba in vsaka stvar, ki je na zemlji, bo umrla.
18 But I will establish my covenant with you. You shall come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
Toda s teboj bom vzpostavil svojo zavezo, in prišel boš na ladjo, ti in tvoji sinovi in tvoja žena in žene tvojih sinov s teboj.
19 Of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.
Od vsake žive stvari, od vsega mesa, boš s seboj na ladjo privedel [po] dva od vsake vrste, da jih s teboj obvaruješ žive; naj bodo samec in samica.
20 Of the birds after their kind, of the livestock after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort will come to you, to keep them alive.
Od perjadi po njihovi vrsti in od živine po njihovi vrsti, od vsake zemeljske plazeče stvari po njeni vrsti, [po] dva od vsake vrste bosta prišla k tebi, da ju obvaruješ živa.
21 Take with you some of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them.”
K sebi vzemi od vse hrane, ki se jé in jo boš zbral k sebi, in ta bo za hrano zate in zanje.«
22 Thus Noah did. He did all that God commanded him.
Noe je storil tako; glede na vse, kar mu je Bog ukazal, je storil tako.
