Gênesis 6
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version

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.

Genesis 6
Contemporary English Version

The Lord Will Send a Flood

6 1-2 (A) More and more people were born, until finally they spread all over the earth. Some of their daughters were so beautiful that supernatural beings[a] came down and married the ones they wanted. 3 Then the Lord said, “I won't let my life-giving breath remain in anyone forever.[b] No one will live for more than 120 years.”[c]

4 (B)(C) The children of the supernatural beings who had married these women became famous heroes and warriors. They were called Nephilim and lived on the earth at that time and even later.

5 (D) The Lord saw how bad the people on earth were and that everything they thought and planned was evil. 6 He was sorry that he had made them, 7 and he said, “I'm going to destroy every person on earth! I'll even wipe out animals, birds, and reptiles. I'm sorry I ever made them.”

8 But the Lord was pleased with Noah, 9 (E) and this is the story about him. Noah was the only person who lived right and obeyed God. 10 He had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11-12 God knew that everyone was terribly cruel and violent. 13 So he told Noah:

Cruelty and violence have spread everywhere. Now I'm going to destroy the whole earth and all its people. 14 Get some good lumber and build a boat. Put rooms in it and cover it with tar inside and out. 15 Make it 133 meters long, 22 meters wide, and 13 meters high. 16 Build a roof[d] on the boat and leave a space of about 44 centimeters between the roof and the sides.[e] Make the boat three stories high and put a door on one side.

17 I'm going to send a flood that will destroy everything that breathes! Nothing will be left alive. 18 But I solemnly promise that you, your wife, your sons, and your daughters-in-law will be kept safe in the boat.[f]

19-20 Take into the boat with you a male and a female of every kind of animal and bird, as well as a male and a female of every reptile. I don't want them to be destroyed. 21 Store up enough food both for yourself and for them.

22 (F) Noah did everything God told him to do.

Genesis 6
New International Version

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)
