Genesi 6
La Nuova Diodati
6 Quando gli uomini cominciarono a moltiplicarsi sulla Faccia della terra e nacquero loro delle figlie,
2 avvenne che i figli di DIO videro che le figlie degli uomini erano belle, e presero per loro mogli tutte quelle che essi scelsero.
3 E l'Eterno disse: «Lo Spirito mio non contenderà per sempre con l'uomo, perché nel suo traviamento egli non è che carne; i suoi giorni saranno quindi cetovent'anni».
4 Vi erano dei giganti sulla terra a quei tempi, e anche dopo, quando i figli di DIO si accostarono alle figlie degli uomini e queste partorirono loro dei figli. Essi sono gli eroi che esistettero nei tempi antichi, sono gli uomini famosi di quei tempi.
5 Ora l'Eterno vide che la malvagità degli uomini era grande sulla terra e che tutti i disegni dei pensieri del loro cuore non erano altro che male in ogni tempo.
6 E l'Eterno si pentì di aver fatto l'uomo sulla terra e se ne addolorò in cuor suo.
7 Così l'Eterno disse: «lo sterminerò dalla faccia della terra l'uomo che ho creato, dall'uomo al bestiame, ai rettili, agli uccelli del cielo, perché mi pento di averli fatti».
8 Ma Noè trovò grazia agli occhi dell'Eterno.
9 Questa è la discendenza di Noè. Noè fu uomo giusto e irreprensibile tra i suoi contemporanei. Noè camminò con DIO.
10 Noè generò tre figli: Sem. Cam e Jafet.
11 Ora la terra era corrotta davanti a DIO. e la terra era ripiena di violenza.
12 Ora DIO guardò sulla terra ed ecco, era corrotta. perché ogni carne sulla terra aveva corrotto la sua condotta.
13 DIO disse a Noè: «Ho deciso di por fine ad ogni carne. perché la terra a motivo degli uomini è piena di violenza; ecco, io li distruggerò insieme alla terra.
14 Fatti un'arca di legno di gofer; Fa' l'arca a stanze. e spalmala di bitume di dentro e di fuori.
15 Ora tu la farai in questo modo: la lunghezza dell'arca sarà di trecento cubiti. La larghezza di cinquanta cubiti e l'altezza di trenta cubiti.
16 Farai all'arca una finestra e la finirai con un cubito di copertura di sopra; di fianco all'arca metterai la porta, e la farai a tre piani, inferiore, medio e superiore.
17 Ed ecco, io stesso sto per far venire il diluvio delle acque sulla terra, per distruggere sotto i cieli ogni carne in cui è alito di vita; tutto quello che è sulla terra morirà.
18 Ma io stabilirò il mio patto con te e tu entrerai nell'arca: tu, i tuoi figli, la tua moglie e le mogli dei tuoi figli con te.
19 E di tutto ciò che vive di ogni carne fanne entrare nell'arca due di ogni specie. per conservarli in vita con te; e siano maschio e femmina.
20 Degli uccelli secondo la loro specie, del bestiame secondo la loro specie e di tutti i rettili della terra secondo la loro specie. due di ogni specie verranno a te, perché siano conservati in vita.
21 E prendi per te di ogni cibo che si mangia, radunalo e conservalo, perché serva di nutrimento a te e a loro».
22 E Noè fece così, fece esattamente tutto ciò che DIO gli aveva comandato.

English Standard Version
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 forever, (B)for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” 4 The Nephilim[b] were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, 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 regretted 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 favor 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.

La maldad humana
6 Cuando los seres humanos comenzaron a multiplicarse sobre la tierra y tuvieron hijas, 2 los hijos de Dios vieron que las hijas de los seres humanos eran hermosas. Entonces tomaron como mujeres a todas las que desearon. 3 Pero el Señor dijo: «Mi espíritu no permanecerá en el ser humano[a] para siempre porque no es más que un mortal; por eso vivirá solamente ciento veinte años».
4 Al unirse los hijos de Dios con las hijas de los seres humanos y tener hijos con ellas, nacieron gigantes,[b] que fueron los poderosos guerreros de antaño. A partir de entonces hubo gigantes en la tierra.
5 Al ver el Señor que la maldad del ser humano en la tierra era muy grande y que toda inclinación de su corazón[c] tendía siempre hacia el mal, 6 lamentó haber hecho al ser humano en la tierra, y le dolió en el corazón. 7 Entonces el Señor dijo: «Voy a borrar de la superficie de la tierra al ser humano que he creado. Y haré lo mismo con los animales, los reptiles y las aves del cielo. ¡Me duele haberlos hecho!». 8 Pero Noé contaba con el favor del Señor.
El diluvio
9 Esta es la historia de Noé.
Noé era un hombre justo e íntegro entre su gente, y anduvo fielmente con Dios. 10 Tuvo tres hijos: Sem, Cam y Jafet.
11 Pero Dios vio que la tierra estaba corrompida y llena de violencia. 12 Al ver Dios tanta corrupción en la tierra y que la gente había corrompido su conducta, 13 dijo a Noé: «He decidido acabar con toda la gente, pues por su causa la tierra está llena de violencia. Así que voy a destruir a la gente junto con la tierra. 14 Constrúyete un arca de madera resinosa,[d] hazle compartimentos y cúbrela con brea por dentro y por fuera. 15 Dale las siguientes medidas: trescientos codos de largo, cincuenta de ancho y treinta de alto.[e] 16 Hazla de tres pisos con una abertura a un codo[f] del techo y con una puerta en uno de sus costados. 17 Porque voy a enviar un diluvio sobre la tierra para destruir a todos los seres vivientes bajo el cielo. Todo lo que existe en la tierra morirá. 18 Pero contigo estableceré mi pacto, y entrarán en el arca tú y tus hijos, tu esposa y tus nueras. 19 Haz que entre en el arca una pareja de todos los seres vivientes, es decir, un macho y una hembra de cada especie, para que sobrevivan contigo. 20 Contigo entrará también una pareja de cada especie de aves, de ganado y de animales que se arrastran por el suelo, para que puedan sobrevivir. 21 Recoge además toda clase de alimento y almacénalo para que a ti y a ellos les sirva de comida».
22 Y Noé hizo todo según lo que Dios había mandado.

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)
