当人在世上多起来,又生女儿的时候, 神的儿子们看见人的女子美貌,就随意挑选,娶来为妻。 耶和华说:“人既属乎血气,我的灵就不永远住在他里面,然而他的日子还可到一百二十年。” 那时候有伟人在地上,后来神的儿子们和人的女子们交合生子,那就是上古英武有名的人。

耶和华后悔造人于地

耶和华见人在地上罪恶很大,终日所思想的尽都是恶。 耶和华就后悔造人在地上,心中忧伤。 耶和华说:“我要将所造的人和走兽并昆虫,以及空中的飞鸟,都从地上除灭,因为我造他们后悔了。” 唯有挪亚在耶和华眼前蒙恩。

挪亚的后代记在下面。挪亚是个义人,在当时的世代是个完全人。挪亚与神同行。 10 挪亚生了三个儿子,就是雅弗 11 世界在神面前败坏,地上满了强暴。 12 神观看世界,见是败坏了,凡有血气的人,在地上都败坏了行为。

神命挪亚造方舟

13 神就对挪亚说:“凡有血气的人,他的尽头已经来到我面前,因为地上满了他们的强暴。我要把他们和地一并毁灭。 14 你要用歌斐木造一只方舟,分一间一间地造,里外抹上松香。 15 方舟的造法乃是这样:要长三百肘,宽五十肘,高三十肘。 16 方舟上边要留透光处,高一肘。方舟的门要开在旁边。方舟要分上、中、下三层。 17 看哪,我要使洪水泛滥在地上,毁灭天下,凡地上有血肉、有气息的活物,无一不死。 18 我却要与你立约,你同你的妻,与儿子、儿妇,都要进入方舟。 19 凡有血肉的活物,每样两个,一公一母,你要带进方舟,好在你那里保全生命。 20 飞鸟各从其类,牲畜各从其类,地上的昆虫各从其类,每样两个,要到你那里,好保全生命。 21 你要拿各样食物积蓄起来,好做你和它们的食物。” 22 挪亚就这样行。凡神所吩咐的,他都照样行了。

人类的邪恶

人类在地上逐渐增多,生了女儿。 上帝的儿子们[a]看见人的女儿漂亮,就随意选来做妻子。 耶和华说:“人既然是血肉之躯,我的灵不会永远住在人的里面,然而人还可以活一百二十年。” 从那时起,地上出现了一些巨人,他们是上古有名的勇士,是上帝的儿子和人的女儿所生的后代。

耶和华看见人罪恶深重,心中终日思想恶事, 就后悔在地上造了人,心里伤痛, 说:“我要把所造的人从地上除掉,连同一切飞禽走兽和爬虫都除掉,我后悔造了他们。” 只有挪亚在耶和华面前蒙恩。

上帝命挪亚造方舟

以下是有关挪亚的记载。

挪亚是个义人,在当时的世代是个纯全无过的人,他与上帝同行。 10 挪亚生了三个儿子:闪、含和雅弗。

11 当时的世界在上帝眼中非常败坏,充满了暴行。 12 上帝看见世界败坏了,因为世人行为败坏。 13 祂对挪亚说:“世人恶贯满盈,他们的结局到了。我要把他们跟大地一起毁灭。 14 你要为自己用歌斐木建造一艘方舟,里面要有舱房,内外都要涂上柏油。 15 你建造的方舟要长一百三十三米,宽二十二米,高十三米。 16 舟顶要有五十厘米高的透光口,门开在方舟的侧面,整艘方舟要分为上、中、下三层。 17 看啊,我要使洪水在地上泛滥,毁灭天下。地上一切有气息的生灵都要灭亡。 18 但我要跟你立约,你与妻子、儿子和儿媳都可以进方舟。 19 每种动物你要带两只进方舟,雌雄各一只,好保存它们的生命。 20 各种飞禽走兽和爬虫要按种类每样一对到你那里,好保住生命。 21 你要为自己和这些动物预备各种食物,贮存起来。”

22 挪亚就照着上帝的吩咐把事情都办好了。

The Human Race Becomes Evil

The number of people on earth began to grow. Daughters were born to these people. The sons of God saw that these girls were beautiful. And they married any of them they chose. The Lord said, “My Spirit will not remain in human beings forever. This is because they are flesh. They will live only 120 years.”

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.

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. The Lord was sorry he had made human beings on the earth. His heart was filled with pain. 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.” But Noah pleased the Lord.

Noah and the Great Flood

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.
