耶和華後悔造人於地

耶和華見人在地上罪惡很大,終日所思想的盡都是惡。 耶和華就後悔造人在地上,心中憂傷。 耶和華說:「我要將所造的人和走獸並昆蟲,以及空中的飛鳥,都從地上除滅,因為我造他們後悔了。」 唯有挪亞在耶和華眼前蒙恩。

挪亞的後代記在下面。挪亞是個義人,在當時的世代是個完全人。挪亞與神同行。 10 挪亞生了三個兒子,就是雅弗 11 世界在神面前敗壞,地上滿了強暴。 12 神觀看世界,見是敗壞了,凡有血氣的人,在地上都敗壞了行為。

神命挪亞造方舟

13 神就對挪亞說:「凡有血氣的人,他的盡頭已經來到我面前,因為地上滿了他們的強暴。我要把他們和地一併毀滅。 14 你要用歌斐木造一隻方舟,分一間一間地造,裡外抹上松香。 15 方舟的造法乃是這樣:要長三百肘,寬五十肘,高三十肘。 16 方舟上邊要留透光處,高一肘。方舟的門要開在旁邊。方舟要分上、中、下三層。 17 看哪,我要使洪水氾濫在地上,毀滅天下,凡地上有血肉、有氣息的活物,無一不死。 18 我卻要與你立約,你同你的妻,與兒子、兒婦,都要進入方舟。 19 凡有血肉的活物,每樣兩個,一公一母,你要帶進方舟,好在你那裡保全生命。 20 飛鳥各從其類,牲畜各從其類,地上的昆蟲各從其類,每樣兩個,要到你那裡,好保全生命。 21 你要拿各樣食物積蓄起來,好做你和牠們的食物。」 22 挪亞就這樣行。凡神所吩咐的,他都照樣行了。

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.

19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.

20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.

21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.

22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth,(A) and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.(B) The Lord regretted(C) that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth(D) 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.(E) But Noah(F) found favor in the eyes of the Lord.(G)

Noah and the Flood

This is the account(H) of Noah and his family.

Noah was a righteous man, blameless(I) among the people of his time,(J) and he walked faithfully with God.(K) 10 Noah had three sons: Shem,(L) Ham and Japheth.(M)

11 Now the earth was corrupt(N) in God’s sight and was full of violence.(O) 12 God saw how corrupt(P) the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.(Q) 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(R) both them and the earth.(S) 14 So make yourself an ark of cypress[a] wood;(T) make rooms in it and coat it with pitch(U) 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.[b] 16 Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit[c] high all around.[d] Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. 17 I am going to bring floodwaters(V) 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.(W) 18 But I will establish my covenant with you,(X) and you will enter the ark(Y)—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.(Z) 20 Two(AA) of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind(AB) of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.(AC) 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.(AD)
