Wickedness in the World
6 When human beings began to increase in number on the earth(A) and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God(B) saw that the daughters(C) of humans were beautiful,(D) and they married(E) any of them they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit(F) will not contend with[a] humans forever,(G) for they are mortal[b];(H) their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”
4 The Nephilim(I) were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans(J) and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.(K)
5 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth,(L) and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.(M) 6 The Lord regretted(N) that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth(O) the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.(P)” 8 But Noah(Q) found favor in the eyes of the Lord.(R)
Noah and the Flood
9 This is the account(S) of Noah and his family.
Noah was a righteous man, blameless(T) among the people of his time,(U) and he walked faithfully with God.(V) 10 Noah had three sons: Shem,(W) Ham and Japheth.(X)
11 Now the earth was corrupt(Y) in God’s sight and was full of violence.(Z) 12 God saw how corrupt(AA) the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.(AB) 13 So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy(AC) both them and the earth.(AD) 14 So make yourself an ark of cypress[c] wood;(AE) make rooms in it and coat it with pitch(AF) inside and out. 15 This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.[d] 16 Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit[e] high all around.[f] Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. 17 I am going to bring floodwaters(AG) on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.(AH) 18 But I will establish my covenant with you,(AI) and you will enter the ark(AJ)—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. 19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you.(AK) 20 Two(AL) of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind(AM) of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.(AN) 21 You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.”
22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him.(AO)

The Human Race Becomes Evil
6 The number of people on earth began to grow. Daughters were born to these people. 2 The sons of God saw that these girls were beautiful. And they married any of them they chose. 3 The Lord said, “My Spirit will not remain in human beings forever. This is because they are flesh. They will live only 120 years.”
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days and also later. That was when the sons of God had physical relations with the daughters of men. These women gave birth to children, who became famous. They were the mighty warriors of long ago.
5 The Lord saw that the human beings on the earth were very wicked. He also saw that their thoughts were only about evil all the time. 6 The Lord was sorry he had made human beings on the earth. His heart was filled with pain. 7 So the Lord said, “I will destroy all human beings that I made on the earth. And I will destroy every animal and everything that crawls on the earth. I will also destroy the birds of the air. This is because I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah pleased the Lord.
Noah and the Great Flood
9 This is the family history of Noah. Noah was a good man. He was the most innocent man of his time. He walked with God. 10 Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.
11 People on earth did what God said was evil. Violence was everywhere. 12 And God saw this evil. All people on the earth did only evil. 13 So God said to Noah, “People have made the earth full of violence. So I will destroy all people from the earth. 14 Build a boat of cypress wood for yourself. Make rooms in it and cover it inside and outside with tar. 15 This is how big I want you to build the boat: 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. 16 Make an opening around the top of the boat. Make it 18 inches high from the edge of the roof down. Put a door in the side of the boat. Make an upper, middle and lower deck in it. 17 I will bring a flood of water on the earth. I will destroy all living things that live under the sky. This includes everything that has the breath of life. Everything on the earth will die. 18 But I will make an agreement with you. You, your sons, your wife and your sons’ wives will all go into the boat. 19 Also, you must bring into the boat two of every living thing, male and female. Keep them alive with you. 20 There will be two of every kind of bird, animal and crawling thing. They will come to you to be kept alive. 21 Also gather some of every kind of food. Store it on the boat as food for you and the animals.”
22 Noah did everything that God commanded him.

A corrupção do ser humano
6 As pessoas aumentaram em número e foram se espalhando por toda a terra à medida que iam tendo filhos e filhas. 2 Então os filhos de Deus[a] viram que as mulheres dos homens eram bonitas. Eles escolheram as mulheres que quiseram e casaram-se com elas. 3 E o SENHOR disse:
—O meu Espírito[b] não ficará no ser humano por muito tempo. Ele é mortal e irá morrer. Só terá cento e vinte anos de vida.[c]
4 Nesse tempo os filhos de Deus tiveram filhos com as filhas dos homens. Esses filhos se tornaram os grandes heróis dos tempos antigos. Eles foram homens de muito poder[d] que viveram na terra naquele tempo e também depois.
5 O SENHOR viu que a maldade das pessoas era cada vez maior e que só pensavam em fazer o mal. 6 Então o SENHOR ficou ferido no seu coração e lamentou ter criado o ser humano. 7 E o SENHOR disse:
—Apagarei da face da terra o ser humano que criei. Destruirei as pessoas, os animais domésticos, os animais que rastejam pelo chão e as aves do céu, porque me arrependo de tê-los feito.
8 Mas o SENHOR olhou com prazer para um homem chamado Noé.
Noé e o grande dilúvio
9 Esta é a história da família de Noé: Noé era um homem justo. Ele vivia honestamente entre as pessoas do seu tempo. Ele vivia em comunhão com Deus. 10 Ele teve três filhos: Sem, Cam e Jafé.
11 Em contraste com Noé, Deus via que todas as outras pessoas só faziam o mal umas às outras. Todas as pessoas tinham se afastado de Deus, tornando-se perversas. 12 Quando Deus viu que ninguém fazia o que era certo, e que as pessoas tinham se tornado perversas, 13 ele disse a Noé:
—Em todo lugar, as pessoas só fazem o mal umas às outras. Por isso, decidi pôr um fim a todos os seres vivos. Eu também irei destruir a terra. 14 Mas você deverá fazer uma barca[e] de madeira de cipreste[f], com vários compartimentos e cobri-la com betume por dentro e por fora. 15 A barca deverá ter cento e trinta e três metros de comprimento por vinte e dois metros de largura por treze metros e meio de altura.[g] 16 Faça com que a barca tenha três andares, um sobre o outro, e faça uma janela meio metro abaixo do teto. Faça também uma porta num dos lados.
17 —Enviarei um dilúvio sobre a terra para destruir todos os seres vivos que existem debaixo do céu. Tudo o que há na terra morrerá. 18 Mas com você farei uma aliança. Você deverá entrar na barca com os seus filhos, a sua esposa e as suas noras. 19 Deverá também levar para a barca um casal de cada espécie de animal, um macho e uma fêmea, para poderem sobreviver: 20 um casal de todas as espécies de aves, de todas as espécies de animais e de todas as espécies de bichos que rastejam. Dois animais de cada espécie virão até você para sobreviverem. 21 Você deverá também levar e armazenar todo tipo de comida para você, a sua família e os animais terem o que comer.
22 Noé fez tudo exatamente como Deus tinha lhe ordenado.
