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)

Maldad de los hombres
6 Aconteció que cuando los hombres comenzaron a multiplicarse sobre la superficie de la tierra, y les nacieron hijas, 2 los hijos de Dios vieron que las hijas de los hombres eran hermosas[a], y tomaron para sí mujeres de entre todas las que les gustaban. 3 Entonces el Señor dijo: «Mi Espíritu no luchará para siempre con el[b] hombre(A), porque ciertamente[c](B) él es carne. Serán, pues, sus días 120 años». 4 Había gigantes[d](C) en la tierra en aquellos días, y también después, cuando los hijos de Dios se unieron a las hijas de los hombres y ellas les dieron hijos. Estos son los héroes[e] de la antigüedad, hombres de renombre.
5 El Señor vio que era mucha la maldad de los hombres en la tierra, y que toda intención[f] de los pensamientos de su corazón era solo hacer siempre el mal[g](D). 6 Y al Señor le pesó haber hecho al hombre en la tierra(E), y sintió tristeza(F) en[h] Su corazón. 7 Entonces el Señor dijo: «Borraré de la superficie de la tierra al hombre(G) que he creado, desde el hombre hasta el ganado, los reptiles y las aves del cielo, porque me pesa haberlos hecho(H)». 8 Pero Noé(I) halló gracia ante los ojos del Señor(J).
Noé construye el arca
9 Estas son las generaciones de Noé. Noé era un hombre justo(K), perfecto[i](L) entre sus contemporáneos[j]. Noé siempre andaba con Dios(M). 10 Noé engendró tres hijos: Sem, Cam y Jafet. 11 Pero la tierra se había corrompido delante de Dios(N), y estaba la tierra llena de violencia(O). 12 Dios miró a la tierra, y vio que estaba corrompida, porque toda carne[k] había corrompido(P) su camino sobre la tierra.
13 Entonces Dios dijo a Noé: «He decidido poner fin a toda carne[l], porque la tierra está llena de violencia por causa de ellos; por eso voy a destruirlos junto con la tierra(Q). 14 Hazte un arca de madera de ciprés[m]. Harás el arca con compartimientos, y la cubrirás con brea por dentro y por fuera. 15 De esta manera la harás: de 300 codos (135 metros) la longitud del arca, de 50 codos (22.5 metros) su anchura y de 30 codos (13.5 metros) su altura. 16 Le harás una ventana[n] que terminará a un codo (45 centímetros) del techo[o], y pondrás la puerta en su costado. Harás el arca de tres pisos.
17 »Entonces Yo traeré un diluvio[p](R) sobre la tierra, para destruir toda carne[q] en que hay aliento de vida debajo del cielo. Todo lo que hay en la tierra perecerá. 18 Pero estableceré Mi pacto contigo(S). Entrarás en el arca tú, y contigo tus hijos, tu mujer y las mujeres de tus hijos(T).
19 »Y de todo ser viviente, de toda carne, meterás dos de cada especie en el arca, para preservarles la vida contigo; macho y hembra serán(U). 20 De las aves según su especie, de los animales según su especie y de todo reptil de la tierra según su especie, dos de cada especie vendrán a ti para que les preserves la vida(V).
21 »Y tú, toma para ti de todo alimento que se come, y almacénalo, y será alimento para ti y para ellos(W)». 22 Así lo hizo Noé; conforme a todo lo que Dios le había mandado(X), así lo hizo.

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.

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.

Tội Lỗi Gia Tăng
6 Khi loài người bắt đầu gia tăng trên mặt đất và sinh con gái. 2 Các con trai Đức Chúa Trời thấy các con gái loài người xinh đẹp bèn cưới làm vợ những người họ chọn. 3 CHÚA phán: “Thần Ta sẽ chẳng ở mãi với loài người nữa vì chúng chỉ là xác thịt; đời người sẽ chỉ còn một trăm hai mươi năm.”
4 Trong thời gian đó và cả về sau, có những người to lớn trên mặt đất khi con trai Đức Chúa Trời ăn ở với con gái loài người mà sinh con cái. Họ là các bậc anh hùng danh tiếng thời cổ xưa.
5 CHÚA thấy tội ác của loài người tràn lan trên đất, mọi khuynh hướng, tư tưởng của lòng họ lúc nào cũng xấu xa. 6 CHÚA hối tiếc vì đã dựng nên loài người trên đất, và đau buồn trong lòng. 7 CHÚA phán: “Ta sẽ quét sạch khỏi mặt đất mọi loài Ta đã tạo nên, cả loài người lẫn thú vật, loài bò sát và chim trời, vì Ta hối tiếc đã dựng nên chúng.” 8 Nhưng Nô-ê được ơn trước mặt CHÚA.
9 Đây là dòng dõi Nô-ê.
Nô-ê là một người công chính và không có gì đáng trách giữa những người đồng thời với ông. Nô-ê đồng đi với Đức Chúa Trời. 10 Nô-ê sinh ba con trai là Sem, Cham và Gia-phết.
Chiếc Tàu
11 Thế gian bại hoại dưới mắt Đức Chúa Trời và đất đầy dẫy hung bạo. 12 Đức Chúa Trời nhìn xem thế gian, thấy nó bại hoại, vì mọi người trên mặt đất đều làm bại hoại đường lối mình. 13 Đức Chúa Trời bảo Nô-ê: “Sự cuối cùng của mọi người đã đến, vì chúng làm cho trái đất đầy dẫy sự hung bạo. Này, Ta sẽ hủy diệt chúng luôn với cả trái đất nữa. 14 Con hãy đóng một chiếc tàu bằng gỗ gô-phe, chia làm nhiều phòng, trát nhựa cả trong lẫn ngoài. 15 Con hãy đóng tàu như thế này: bề dài ba trăm am-ma[a], bề rộng năm mươi am-ma[b], bề cao một am-ma[c]. 16 Con hãy lợp mái tàu cách thành tàu một am-ma, và một cửa bên hông tàu. Con sẽ làm tầng dưới, tầng giữa và tầng trên. 17 Kìa, chính Ta sẽ đem nước lụt đến trên đất để tiêu diệt tất cả các loài sinh vật có hơi thở dưới bầu trời, mọi loài vật trên đất đều sẽ chết hết. 18 Nhưng Ta sẽ lập giao ước Ta với con; con sẽ vào tàu cùng với các con trai, vợ và các nàng dâu của con. 19 Con sẽ đem vào tàu mọi loài sinh vật, mỗi loài một cặp, có đực có cái, để giữ cho chúng sống. 20 Chim tùy theo loại, súc vật tùy theo loại, loài bò sát trên đất tùy theo loại, mỗi loài hai con sẽ đến với con để bảo toàn mạng sống. 21 Con hãy đem theo đủ mọi thứ lương thực để ăn và để tích trữ cho con và cho chúng nó.” 22 Như vậy Nô-ê làm theo mọi điều Đức Chúa Trời đã truyền bảo.
