| [1]So when men began to be multiplied upon the earth, and there were daughters born unto them, |
[1]And it cometh to pass that mankind have begun to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to them, |
| [2]Then the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair, and they took them wives of all that they liked. |
[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]Therefore the Lord said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man, because he is but flesh, and his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. |
[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]There were giants in the earth in those days: yea, and after that the sons of God came unto the daughters of men, and they had born them children, these were mighty men, which in old time were men of renown. |
[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]When the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and all the imaginations of the thoughts of his heart were only evil continually, |
[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]Then it repented the Lord that he had made man in the earth, and he was sorry in his heart. |
[6]and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself -- unto His heart. |
| [7]Therefore the Lord said, I will destroy from the earth the man, whom I have created, from man to beast, to the creeping thing, and to the foul of the heaven: for I repent that I have 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 found grace in the eyes of the Lord. |
[8]And Noah found grace in the eyes of Jehovah. |
| [9]These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a just and upright man in his time: and 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]And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth. |
[10]And Noah begetteth three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. |
| [11]The earth also was corrupt before God: for the earth was filled with cruelty. |
[11]And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is filled [with] violence. |
| [12]Then God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt: for all flesh had corrupt his way upon the 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 said unto Noah, An end of all flesh is come before me: for the earth is filled with cruelty through them: and behold, I will 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 ark of pine trees: thou shalt make cabins in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. |
[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 thus shalt thou make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. |
[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 window shalt thou make in the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above, and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof: thou shalt make it with the low, second and third room. |
[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 I, behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life under the heaven: all that is in the earth shall perish. |
[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]But with thee will I establish my covenant, and thou shalt go into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives 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 every living thing, of all flesh two of every sort shalt thou cause to come into the ark, to keep them alive with thee: they shall be male and 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 the fouls, after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, that thou mayest keep them alive. |
[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 meat that is eaten: and thou shalt gather it to thee, that it may be meat for thee and for 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 therefore did according unto all, that God commanded him: even so did he. |
[22]And Noah doth according to all that God hath commanded him; so hath he done. |
