| [2]And the sonnes of God also sawe the daughters of men that they were fayre, & they toke them wyues, such as theyliked, from among them all |
[2]and sons of God see the daughters of men that they [are] fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have chosen. |
| [3]And the Lorde sayde: My spirite shall not alwayes stryue with man, because he is fleshe: yet his dayes shalbe an hundreth and twentie yeres |
[3]And Jehovah saith, `My Spirit doth not strive in man -- to the age; in their erring they [are] flesh:' and his days have been an hundred and twenty years. |
| [4]But there were Giantes in those dayes in ye earth: yea & after that the sonnes of God came vnto the daughters of me, and hadde begotten chyldren of them, the same became myghtie men of the worlde, and men of renowme |
[4]The fallen ones were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when sons of God come in unto daughters of men, and they have borne to them -- they [are] the heroes, who, from of old, [are] the men of name. |
| [5]But God sawe that the malice of man was great in the earth, and all the imagination of the thoughtes of his heart [was] only euyll euery day |
[5]And Jehovah seeth that abundant [is] the wickedness of man in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil all the day; |
| [6]And it repented the Lord that he had made man vpon the earth, & he was touched with sorowe in his heart |
[6]and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself -- unto His heart. |
| [7]And the Lorde sayde: I wyll from the vpper face of the earth, destroy man whom I haue created, from man vnto cattell, vnto worme, and vnto foules of the ayre: For it repenteth me that I haue made them |
[7]And Jehovah saith, `I wipe away man whom I have prepared from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens, for I have repented that I have made them.' |
| [8]But Noah founde grace in the eyes of the Lorde |
[8]And Noah found grace in the eyes of Jehovah. |
| [9]These are the generations of Noah: Noah [was] a iust man, and perfect in his generations: And Noah walked with God |
[9]These [are] births of Noah: Noah [is] a righteous man; perfect he hath been among his generations; with God hath Noah walked habitually. |
| [10]Noah begat three sonnes, Sem, Ham, and Iapheth |
[10]And Noah begetteth three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. |
| [11]The earth also was corrupt before God, and the same earth was fylled with crueltie |
[11]And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled [with] violence. |
| [12]And God loked vpon the earth, and beholde it was corrupt: for all fleshe had corrupt his way vpon earth |
[12]And God seeth the earth, and lo, it hath been corrupted, for all flesh hath corrupted its way on the earth. |
| [13]And God sayd vnto Noah: the ende of all fleshe is come before me, for the earth is fylled with crueltie through them, and beholde I wyl destroy them with the earth |
[13]And God said to Noah, `An end of all flesh hath come before Me, for the earth hath been full of violence from their presence; and lo, I am destroying them with the earth. |
| [14]Make thee an Arke of Pine trees: Habitations shalt thou make in the arke, and shalt pitch it within and with out with pitche |
[14]`Make for thyself an ark of gopher-wood; rooms dost thou make with the ark, and thou hast covered it within and without with cypress; |
| [15]And of this fashion shalt thou make it: The length of the arke [shalbe] three hundreth cubites, the breadth of it fiftie cubites, & the height of it thirtie cubites |
[15]and this [is] that which thou dost with it: three hundred cubits [is] the length of the ark, fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height; |
| [16]A wyndowe shalt thou make in the arke, and in a cubite shalt thou finishe it aboue: but the doore of the arke shalt thou set in the syde therof. With three loftes one aboue another shalt thou make it |
[16]a window dost thou make for the ark, and unto a cubit thou dost restrain it from above; and the opening of the ark thou dost put in its side, -- lower, second, and third [stories] dost thou make it. |
| [17]And beholde, I, euen I do bryng a fludde of waters vpon the earth, to destroy all fleshe wherin is the breath of lyfe vnder heauen, and euery thyng that is in the earth shall perishe |
[17]`And I, lo, I am bringing in the deluge of waters on the earth to destroy all flesh, in which [is] a living spirit, from under the heavens; all that [is] in the earth doth expire. |
| [18]With thee also wyll I make my couenaunt: and thou shalt come into the arke, thou and thy sonnes, thy wife, and thy sonnes wyues with thee |
[18]`And I have established My covenant with thee, and thou hast come in unto the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy son's wives with thee; |
| [19]And of euery lyuyng thyng of all fleshe, a payre of euery one shalt thou bryng into the arke to kepe them alyue with thee, they shalbe male & female |
[19]and of all that liveth, of all flesh, two of every [sort] thou dost bring in unto the ark, to keep alive with thee; male and female are they. |
| [20]Of fethered foules also after their kinde, and of all cattell after their kinde: of euery worme of the earth after his kynde, two of euery one shall come vnto thee, to kepe [them] alyue |
[20]Of the fowl after its kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every [sort] they come in unto thee, to keep alive. |
| [21]And take thou with thee of all meate that is eaten, and thou shalt lay it vp with thee, that it may be meate for thee and them |
[21]`And thou, take to thyself of all food that is eaten; and thou hast gathered unto thyself, and it hath been to thee and to them for food.' |
| [22]Noah therfore dyd according vnto all that God commaunded hym [euen] so dyd he |
[22]And Noah doth according to all that God hath commanded him; so hath he done. |
