¹And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

¹Zgodilo se je pa, ko so jeli množiti se ljudje na površju zemlje in so se jim rodile hčere,

²That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

²da so videli sinovi Božji hčere človeške, da so lepe, in so si jemali od vsakršnih žene, katerekoli so si izbrali.

³And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

³Zatorej reče GOSPOD: Duh moj se ne bo prepiral s človekom vekomaj, ker on je tudi le meso; zato bodi dni njegovih sto in dvajset let.

⁴There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

⁴Velikani so bili na zemlji tiste dni in tudi pozneje, ko so se sinovi Božji shajali s hčerami človeškimi in so jim rodile. To so tisti junaki, ki so bili v starodavnem času, možje preslavni.

⁵And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

⁵Ko je torej videl GOSPOD, da se množi hudobnost človekova na zemlji, in da so vsi naklepi in misli srca njegovega samo hudo ves čas,

⁶And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

⁶je bilo žal GOSPODU, da je naredil človeka na zemlji, in bolelo ga je v srce.

⁷And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

⁷In reče GOSPOD: Potrebil bom človeka, ki sem ga ustvaril, s površja zemlje; i človeka i živino in laznino in ptice pod nebom, ker žal mi je, da sem jih naredil.

⁸But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

⁸Ali Noe je našel milost v očeh GOSPODOVIH.

⁹These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

⁹To so rodovi Noetovi. Noe je bil mož pravičen, popoln med vrstniki svojimi; z Bogom je hodil Noe neprestano.

¹⁰And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

¹⁰Rodil je pa Noe tri sinove: Sema, Hama in Jafeta.

¹¹The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

¹¹In zemlja je bila popačena pred obličjem Božjim, in zemlja je bila napolnjena s silovitostjo.

¹²And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

¹²In Bog je videl zemljo, in glej, popačena je bila, kajti vse meso je popačilo pot svojo na zemlji.

¹³And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

¹³In reče Bog Noetu: Konec vsega mesa se je približal predme, zakaj zemlja je polna silovitosti od njih; zato, glej, pokončal jih bom z zemljo vred.

¹⁴Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

¹⁴Naredi si ladjo iz lesa gofrovega; predele mnoge naredi v ladji, in zasmoli jo znotraj in zunaj s smolo.

¹⁵And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

¹⁵In takó jo naredi: Tristo komolcev dolžava ladje, petdeset komolcev širjava njena in trideset komolcev njena višava.

¹⁶A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

¹⁶Napravi ladji odprtino za luč, ki naj seže do komolca od vrha, in vrata ladji umesti na strani njeni, s spodnjim, drugim in tretjim nadstropjem jo naredi.

¹⁷And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

¹⁷In jaz, glej, pošljem potop, vode čez zemljo, pogubit vse meso, v katerem je dih življenja pod nebom; karkoli je na zemlji, pogine.

¹⁸But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.

¹⁸S teboj pa ustanovim zavezo svojo, in pojdeš v ladjo, ti in sinovi tvoji in žena tvoja in žene sinov tvojih s teboj.

¹⁹And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.

¹⁹In od vsega, kar živi, od vsakršnega mesa, od vsega po dvoje vzemi v ladjo, da jih pri življenju ohraniš s seboj: samec in samica naj bodo.

²⁰Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.

²⁰Izmed ptic po njih plemenih in izmed živine po plemenih njenih, izmed vse laznine zemeljske po vrstah njenih, izmed vseh po dvoje naj pride k tebi, da jih ohraniš pri življenju.

²¹And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.

²¹Ti pa si vzemi od vsake jedi, ki se jé, in vzeto spravi pri sebi, da bode tebi in njim v živež.To stori Noe; vse stori prav tako, kakor mu je zapovedal Bog.

²²Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

²²To stori Noe; vse stori prav tako, kakor mu je zapovedal Bog.
