Genesis 6
Beibl William Morgan
6 Yna y bu, pan ddechreuodd dynion amlhau ar wyneb y ddaear, a geni merched iddynt, 2 Weled o feibion Duw ferched dynion mai teg oeddynt hwy; a hwy a gymerasant iddynt wragedd o’r rhai oll a ddewisasant. 3 A dywedodd yr Arglwydd, Nid ymrysona fy Ysbryd i â dyn yn dragywydd, oblegid mai cnawd yw efe: a’i ddyddiau fyddant ugain mlynedd a chant. 4 Cewri oedd ar y ddaear y dyddiau hynny: ac wedi hynny hefyd pan ddaeth meibion Duw at ferched dynion, a phlanta o’r rhai hynny iddynt: dyma’r cedyrn a fu wŷr enwog gynt.
5 A’r Arglwydd a welodd mai aml oedd drygioni dyn ar y ddaear, a bod holl fwriad meddylfryd ei galon yn unig yn ddrygionus bob amser. 6 Ac edifarhaodd ar yr Arglwydd wneuthur ohono ef ddyn ar y ddaear, ac efe a ymofidiodd yn ei galon. 7 A’r Arglwydd a ddywedodd, Dileaf ddyn yr hwn a greais oddi ar wyneb y ddaear, o ddyn hyd anifail, hyd yr ymlusgiad, a hyd ehediad y nefoedd: canys y mae yn edifar gennyf eu gwneuthur hwynt.
8 Ond Noa a gafodd ffafr yng ngolwg yr Arglwydd.
9 Dyma genedlaethau Noa: Noa oedd ŵr cyfiawn, perffaith yn ei oes: gyda Duw y rhodiodd Noa. 10 A Noa a genhedlodd dri o feibion, Sem, Cham, a Jaffeth. 11 A’r ddaear a lygrasid gerbron Duw; llanwasid y ddaear hefyd â thrawsedd. 12 A Duw a edrychodd ar y ddaear, ac wele hi a lygrasid; canys pob cnawd a lygrasai ei ffordd ar y ddaear. 13 A Duw a ddywedodd wrth Noa, Diwedd pob cnawd a ddaeth ger fy mron: oblegid llanwyd y ddaear â thrawsedd trwyddynt hwy: ac wele myfi a’u difethaf hwynt gyda’r ddaear.
14 Gwna i ti arch o goed Goffer; yn gellau y gwnei yr arch, a phyga hi oddi mewn ac oddi allan â phyg. 15 Ac fel hyn y gwnei di hi: tri chan cufydd fydd hyd yr arch, deg cufydd a deugain ei lled, a deg cufydd ar hugain ei huchder. 16 Gwna ffenestr i’r arch, a gorffen hi yn gufydd oddi arnodd; a gosod ddrws yr arch yn ei hystlys: o dri uchder y gwnei di hi. 17 Ac wele myfi, ie myfi, yn dwyn dyfroedd dilyw ar y ddaear, i ddifetha pob cnawd, yr hwn y mae anadl einioes ynddo, oddi tan y nefoedd: yr hyn oll sydd ar y ddaear a drenga. 18 Ond â thi y cadarnhaf fy nghyfamod; ac i’r arch yr ei di, tydi a’th feibion, a’th wraig, a gwragedd dy feibion gyda thi. 19 Ac o bob peth byw, o bob cnawd, y dygi ddau o bob rhyw i’r arch i’w cadw yn fyw gyda thi; gwryw a benyw fyddant. 20 O’r ehediaid wrth eu rhywogaeth, ac o’r anifeiliaid wrth eu rhywogaeth, o bob ymlusgiad y ddaear wrth eu rhywogaeth; dau o bob rhywogaeth a ddaw atat i’w cadw yn fyw. 21 A chymer i ti o bob bwyd a fwyteir, a chasgl atat; a bydd yn ymborth i ti ac iddynt hwythau. 22 Felly y gwnaeth Noa, yn ôl yr hyn oll a orchmynasai Duw iddo, felly y gwnaeth efe.
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.
