Genesis 6
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Kasamaan ng Tao
6 Hindi nagtagal, dumami ang mga tao sa mundo, at marami ang kabataan nilang babae. 2 Nakita ng mga anak ng Dios[a] na ang mga babae ay magaganda. Kaya pumili sila ng magiging asawa nila sa sinumang maibigan nila. 3 Ngayon, sinabi ng Panginoon, “Hindi ko papayagang mabuhay ang tao nang matagal dahil silaʼy tao lamang. Kaya mula ngayon, ang tao ay mabubuhay nang hindi hihigit sa 120 taon.”
4 Nang panahong iyon, at kahit nitong huli, may mga kilalang tao sa mundo na mula sa lahi ng mga anak ng Dios na nagsipag-asawa ng magagandang babae. Silaʼy makapangyarihan at kilalang tao noong unang panahon.
5 Nang makita ng Panginoon na ang ginagawa ng mga tao sa mundo ay puro kasamaan lang, at ang palagi nilang iniisip ay masama, 6 nanghinayang siya kung bakit ginawa pa niya ang tao sa mundo. Labis ang kalungkutan niya, 7 kaya sinabi niya, “Lilipulin ko ang lahat ng taong nilikha ko sa buong lupain. At lilipulin ko rin ang lahat ng hayop sa lupa pati ang mga hayop na lumilipad, dahil nanghihinayang ako sa paglikha sa kanila.” 8 Pero may isang tao na nakapagbigay-lugod sa Panginoon, siya ay si Noe.
Si Noe
9 Ito ang salaysay tungkol sa pamilya ni Noe.
Si Noe ay makadios. Siya lang ang namumuhay na matuwid sa kapanahunan niya, at malapit ang kanyang relasyon sa Dios. 10 May tatlo siyang anak na lalaki na sina Shem, Ham at Jafet.
11 Napakasama na ng mga tao sa paningin ng Dios, at ang kanilang kasamaan ay laganap na sa mundo. 12 Nakita ng Dios na lubhang masama ang mga tao sa mundo dahil ang ginagawa nila ay puro kasamaan. 13 Kaya sinabi niya kay Noe, “Lilipulin ko ang lahat ng tao. Dahil sa kanila, lumaganap ang kasamaan sa mundo. Lilipulin ko sila kasama ng mundo. 14 Kaya ikaw Noe, gumawa ka ng barko mula sa matibay na kahoy, at gawan mo ito ng mga kwarto. Pagkatapos, pahiran mo ng alkitran ang loob at labas ng barko.[b] 15 Gawin mo ito na may sukat na 450 talampakan ang haba, 75 talampakan ang luwang, at 45 talampakan ang taas. 16 Lagyan mo ng bubong ang barko, at lagyan mo ng agwat na kalahating metro ang dingding at ang bubong. Gawan mo ang barko ng tatlong palapag, at lagyan ng pintuan sa gilid. 17 Sapagkat pababahain ko ang mundo para malipol ang lahat ng nabubuhay. Mamamatay ang lahat ng nasa mundo. 18 Pero gagawa ako ng kasunduan sa iyo. Papasok ka sa barko kasama ng asawa at ng mga anak mo pati ang mga asawa nila. 19 Magpapasok ka rin ng isang lalaki at babae sa bawat uri ng hayop para mabuhay sila kasama mo. 20 Dalawa sa bawat uri ng lahat ng hayop: mga lumilipad, lumalakad at gumagapang. Lalapit sila sa iyo para hindi sila mamatay. 21 Magdala ka rin ng lahat ng uri ng pagkain para sa inyo at para rin sa mga hayop.”
22 Sinunod ni Noe ang lahat ng iniutos ng Dios sa kanya.

Increasing Corruption on Earth
6 When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, (A)“My Spirit shall not abide in[a] man for ever, (B)for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” 4 The Nephilim[b] were on the earth in those days, and also afterwards, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.
5 (C)The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every (D)intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And (E)the Lord was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it (F)grieved him to his heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah (G)found favour in the eyes of the Lord.
Noah and the Flood
9 These are the generations of Noah. (H)Noah was a righteous man, (I)blameless in his generation. Noah (J)walked with God. 10 And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God (K)saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, (L)for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. 13 And God said to Noah, (M)“I have determined to make an end of all flesh,[c] for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14 Make yourself an ark of gopher wood.[d] Make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch. 15 This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark 300 cubits,[e] its breadth 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits. 16 Make a roof[f] for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above, and set the door of the ark in its side. Make it with lower, second, and third decks. 17 (N)For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die. 18 But (O)I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall come 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 two of every sort into the ark to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female. 20 Of the birds according to their kinds, and of the animals according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground, according to its kind, two of every sort shall come in to you to keep them alive. 21 Also take with you every sort of food that is eaten, and store it up. It shall serve as food for you and for them.” 22 (P)Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.
