Gênesis 6

1 E aconteceu que, quando começaram os homens a multiplicar-se sobre a face da terra, e lhes nasceram filhas,

And it happened, when humankind began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,

2 Vendo os filhos de Deus que as filhas dos homens eram belas, tomaram para si mulheres, escolhendo entre todas.

that God's sons saw that the daughters of humankind were beautiful, and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.

3 E disse o SENHOR: Não brigará meu espírito com o ser humano para sempre, porque certamente ele é carne: mas serão seus dias cento e vinte anos.

And God said, "My Spirit will not remain in humankind forever, since he is indeed flesh; yet his days will be one hundred twenty years."

4 Havia gigantes na terra naqueles dias, e também depois que entraram os filhos de Deus às filhas dos homens, e lhes geraram filhos: estes foram os valentes que desde a antiguidade foram homens de renome.

The Nephilim were on the earth in those days (and also after that), when the sons of God had sexual relations with the daughters of humankind and had children by them. They were the mighty men who were from ancient times, famous men.

5 E o SENHOR viu que a maldade dos seres humanos era muita na terra, e que todo desígnio dos pensamentos dos seus corações era só mau continuamente.

And God saw that the wickedness of humankind was great on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6 E o SENHOR se arrependeu de haver feito o ser humano na terra, e pesou-lhe em seu coração.

God was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was grieved in his heart.

7 E disse o SENHOR: Apagarei os seres humanos que criei de sobre a face da terra, desde o ser humano até o animal, e até o réptil e as aves do céu; porque me arrependo de havê-los feito.

God said, "I will destroy humankind whom I have created from the face of the earth; humankind, along with animals, crawling creatures, and flying creatures of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."

8 Porém Noé achou favor aos olhos do SENHOR.

But Noah found favor in the sight of God.

9 Estas são as gerações de Noé: Noé, homem justo, foi íntegro em suas gerações; Noé andava com Deus.

These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.

10 E gerou Noé três filhos: a Sem, a Cam, e a Jafé.

Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11 Porém a terra se corrompeu diante de Deus, e a terra encheu-se de violência.

The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

12 E Deus olhou a terra, e eis que estava corrompida; porque toda carne havia corrompido seu caminho sobre a terra.

God saw the earth, and look, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

13 E disse Deus a Noé: O fim de toda carne veio diante de mim; porque a terra está cheia de violência por causa deles; e eis que eu os destruirei com a terra.

And God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. And look, I will destroy them with the earth.

14 Faze-te uma arca de madeira de gôfer: farás aposentos na arca e a selarás com betume por dentro e por fora.

Make a box-shaped ship of gopher wood. You are to make rooms in the ship, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.

15 E desta maneira a farás: de trezentos côvados o comprimento da arca, de cinquenta côvados sua largura, e de trinta côvados sua altura.

And this is how you are to make it. The length of the ship is to be five hundred seventeen feet, its breadth eighty-six feet, and its height fifty-two feet.

16 Uma janela farás à arca, e a acabarás a um côvado de elevação pela parte de cima: e porás a porta da arca a seu lado; e lhe farás piso abaixo, segundo e terceiro.

And you are to make a roof in the ship, and you are to finish it twenty-one inches above. And you are to set the door of the ship in its side. You are to make it with lower, second, and third levels.

17 E eu, eis que eu trago um dilúvio de águas sobre a terra, para destruir toda carne em que haja espírito de vida debaixo do céu; tudo o que há na terra morrerá.

And as for me, look, I am bringing a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is on the earth will die.

18 Mas estabelecerei meu pacto contigo, e entrarás na arca tu, e teus filhos e tua mulher, e as mulheres de teus filhos contigo.

But I will establish my covenant with you. You are to come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.

19 E de tudo o que vive, de toda carne, dois de cada espécie porás na arca, para que tenham vida contigo; macho e fêmea serão.

Of every living thing of all flesh, you are to bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.

20 Das aves segundo sua espécie, e dos animais segundo sua espécie, de todo réptil da terra segundo sua espécie, dois de cada espécie entrarão contigo para que tenham vida.

Of the flying creatures after their kind, of the animals after their kind, and of every crawling creature of the ground after their kind, two of every sort shall come to you, to keep them alive.

21 E toma contigo de toda comida que se come, e traga-a a ti; servirá de alimento para ti e para eles.

And as for you, take for yourself all the kinds of food that are eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be food for you, and for them."

22 E o fez assim Noé; fez conforme tudo o que Deus lhe mandou.

Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.

The World is Destroyed by Water
