Kejadian 6
1 Setelah manusia bertambah banyak dan tersebar di seluruh dunia, dan anak-anak perempuan dilahirkan,
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 makhluk-makhluk ilahi melihat bahwa gadis-gadis itu cantik-cantik. Lalu mereka mengawini gadis-gadis yang mereka sukai.
That the sons of Elohim saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 Maka berkatalah TUHAN, "Aku tidak memperkenankan manusia hidup selama-lamanya; mereka makhluk fana, yang harus mati. Mulai sekarang umur mereka tidak akan melebihi 120 tahun."
And YHWH said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 Pada zaman itu, dan juga sesudahnya, ada orang-orang raksasa di bumi. Mereka keturunan gadis-gadis manusia yang kawin dengan makhluk-makhluk ilahi. Orang-orang raksasa itu adalah pahlawan-pahlawan besar dan orang-orang termasyhur di zaman purbakala.
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of Elohim came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 TUHAN melihat betapa jahatnya orang-orang di bumi; semua pikiran mereka selalu jahat.
And Elohim saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 Ia pun menyesal telah menjadikan mereka dan menempatkan mereka di bumi. Ia begitu kecewa,
And it repented YHWH that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 sehingga berkata, "Akan Kubinasakan manusia yang telah Kuciptakan itu, dan juga segala burung dan binatang lainnya, sebab Aku menyesal telah menciptakan mereka."
And YHWH said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8 Tetapi Nuh menyenangkan hati TUHAN.
But Noah found favour in the eyes of YHWH.
9 Inilah riwayat Nuh. Ia mempunyai tiga anak laki-laki, yaitu Sem, Yafet dan Ham. Nuh tidak berbuat salah, dan dia satu-satunya orang yang baik pada zamannya. Ia hidup akrab dengan Allah.
These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with Elohim.
And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Tetapi semua orang lainnya jahat dalam pandangan Allah, dan kekejaman terdapat di mana-mana.
The earth also was corrupt before Elohim, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 Allah memandang dunia itu dan hanya melihat kejahatan saja, sebab semua manusia jahat hidupnya.
And Elohim looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 Lalu berkatalah Allah kepada Nuh, "Aku telah memutuskan untuk mengakhiri hidup segala makhluk. Aku akan memusnahkan mereka beserta bumi, karena bumi telah penuh dengan kekejaman mereka.
And Elohim said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
14 Buatlah sebuah kapal untukmu dari kayu yang kuat; buatlah bilik-bilik di dalamnya, dan lapisilah dengan ter dari dalam dan dari luar.
Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
15 Kapal itu harus 133 meter panjangnya, 22 meter lebarnya, dan 13 meter tingginya.
And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
16 Buatlah atap pada kapal itu, dan berilah jarak sebesar 44 sentimeter di antara atap dan dinding-dindingnya. Buatlah kapal itu bertingkat tiga, dan pasanglah sebuah pintu di sisinya.
A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
17 Aku akan mendatangkan banjir untuk membinasakan setiap makhluk yang hidup di bumi. Segala sesuatu di bumi akan mati,
And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
18 tetapi dengan engkau Aku hendak membuat perjanjian. Masuklah ke dalam kapal itu bersama-sama dengan istrimu, dan anak-anakmu serta istri-istri mereka.
But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
19 Bawalah ke dalam kapal itu seekor jantan dan seekor betina dari setiap jenis burung dan binatang lainnya, supaya mereka tidak turut binasa.
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
21 Bawalah juga segala macam makanan untukmu dan untuk binatang-binatang itu."
And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
22 Nuh melakukan segala sesuatu yang diperintahkan Allah kepadanya.
Thus did Noah; according to all that Elohim commanded him, so did he.
The World is Destroyed by Water
