创世记 6
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
神的儿子和人的女子
6 人在地上开始增多，又生养女儿的时候， 2 神的众子看见人的女子美丽，就随意挑选，娶作妻子。 3 耶和华说：“人既然是属肉体的，我的灵就不永远住在他里面，但他的日子还有一百二十年。” 4 在那些日子和以后的日子，有巨人在地上； 神的儿子和人的女子结合，就生了上古英武有名的人物。
人类败坏、 神灭世
5 耶和华看见人在地上的罪恶很大，终日心里思念的，尽都是邪恶的。 6 于是，耶和华后悔造人在地上，心中忧伤。 7 耶和华说：“我要把我创造的人，从地上消灭；无论是人或牲畜，是爬行的动物或是天空的飞鸟，我都要消灭，因为我后悔造了他们。” 8 只有挪亚在耶和华眼前蒙恩。
9 以下是挪亚的后代。挪亚是个义人，是当时一个完全人。挪亚和 神同行。 10 挪亚生了三个儿子，就是闪、含、雅弗。 11 当时，世界在 神面前败坏了，地上满了强暴。 12 神观看大地，看见世界已经败坏了；全人类在地上所行的都是败坏的。
神命挪亚建造方舟
13 神对挪亚说：“在我面前全人类的尽头已经来到，因为地上由于他们的缘故满了强暴。看哪，我要把他们和世界一起毁灭。 14 你要用歌斐木做一艘方舟。方舟里面要做一些舱房；方舟的内外都要涂上沥青。 15 你要这样做方舟：方舟要长一百三十三公尺，宽二十二公尺，高十三公尺。 16 方舟上面四周要做透光口，高四十四公寸；方舟的门要开在旁边；方舟要分为上中下三层建造。 17 看哪，我要使洪水临到地上，消灭天下的生物，就是有生气的活物；在地上的都必定要死。 18 我要和你立约。你可以进入方舟；你和你的儿子、妻子和儿媳，都可以和你一同进入方舟。 19 所有的活物，你要把每样一对，就是一公一母，带进方舟，好和你一同保全生命。 20 飞鸟各从其类，牲畜各从其类，地上所有爬行的动物，各从其类，每样一对，都要到你那里来，好保全生命。 21 你要拿各种可吃的食物，积存起来，好作你和牠们的食物。” 22 挪亚就这样作了； 神吩咐他的，他都照样作了。
Genesis 6
New King James Version
The Wickedness and Judgment of Man
6 Now it came to pass, (A)when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they (B)took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.
3 And the Lord said, (C)“My Spirit shall not (D)strive[a] with man forever, (E)for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were [b]giants on the earth in those (F)days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
5 Then [c]the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every (G)intent[d] of the thoughts of his heart was only evil [e]continually. 6 And (H)the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and (I)He was grieved in His (J)heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will (K)destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah (L)found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
Noah Pleases God
9 This is the genealogy of Noah. (M)Noah was a just man, [f]perfect in his generations. Noah (N)walked with God. 10 And Noah begot three sons: (O)Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt (P)before God, and the earth was (Q)filled with violence. 12 So God (R)looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for (S)all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
The Ark Prepared(T)
13 And God said to Noah, (U)“The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; (V)and behold, (W)I will destroy them with the earth. 14 Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make [g]rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch. 15 And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred [h]cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. 16 You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks. 17 (X)And behold, I Myself am bringing (Y)floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall (Z)die. 18 But I will establish My (AA)covenant with you; and (AB)you shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. 19 And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring (AC)two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. 20 Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind (AD)will come to you to keep them alive. 21 And you shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them.”
22 (AE)Thus Noah did; (AF)according to all that (AG)God commanded him, so he did.

Evil Increases on the Earth
6 The number of people increased all over the earth, and daughters were born to them. 2 The sons of Elohim saw that the daughters of other humans were beautiful. So they married any woman they chose.
3 Then Yahweh said, “My Spirit will not struggle with humans forever, because they are flesh and blood. They will live 120 years.”
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, as well as later, when the sons of Elohim slept with the daughters of other humans and had children by them. These children were famous long ago.
5 Yahweh saw how evil humans had become on the earth. All day long their deepest thoughts were nothing but evil. 6 Yahweh was sorry that he had made humans on the earth, and he was heartbroken. 7 So Yahweh said, “I will wipe off the face of the earth these humans that I created. I will wipe out not only humans, but also domestic animals, crawling animals, and birds. I’m sorry that I made them.” 8 But Yahweh was pleased with Noah.
Noah’s Family and the Ship
9 This is the account of Noah and his descendants.
Noah had God’s approval and was a man of integrity among the people of his time. He walked with Elohim. 10 He had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The world was corrupt in Elohim’s sight and full of violence. 12 Elohim saw the world and how corrupt it was because all people on earth lived evil lives.
13 Elohim said to Noah, “I have decided to put an end to all people because the earth is full of their violence. Now I’m going to destroy them along with the earth. 14 Make yourself a ship of cypress wood.[a] Make rooms in the ship and coat it inside and out with tar. 15 This is how you should build it: the ship is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. 16 Make a roof for the ship, and leave an 18-inch-high opening at the top.[b] Put a door in the side of the ship. Build the ship with lower, middle, and upper decks. 17 I’m about to send a flood on the earth to destroy all people under the sky—every living, breathing human. Everything on earth will die.
18 “But I will make my promise[c] to you. You, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives will go into the ship. 19 Bring two of every living creature into the ship in order to keep them alive with you. They must be male and female. 20 Two of every type of bird, every type of domestic animal, and every type of creature that crawls on the ground will come to you to be kept alive. 21 Take every kind of food that can be eaten and store it. It will be food for you and the animals.”
22 Noah did this. He did everything that Elohim had commanded him.
