1It happened, when men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were born to them,
1Ja kui inimesi hakkas maa peal palju saama ja neile sündis tütreid,
2that God’s sons saw that men’s daughters were beautiful, and they took for themselves wives of all that they chose.
2siis nägid Jumala pojad, et inimeste tütred olid ilusad, ja nad võtsid enestele naisi kõigist neist, keda nad välja valisid.
3Yahweh said, “My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; yet will his days be one hundred twenty years.”
3Aga Issand ütles: 'Minu Vaim ei pea igavesti jääma inimesse, sest ta on ikkagi ainult liha. Olgu ta elupäevi sada kakskümmend aastat!'
4The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God’s sons came in to men’s daughters. They bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
4Sel ajal, ja veel pärastpoolegi, kui Jumala pojad heitsid inimeste tütarde juurde ja need neile lapsi ilmale tõid, olid hiiglased maa peal: needsamad vägimehed, kes muistsest ajast on kuulsad mehed.
5Yahweh 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.
5Kui Issand nägi, et inimese kurjus maa peal oli suur ja kõik ta südame mõtlemised iga päev üksnes kurjad,
6Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
6siis Issand kahetses, et ta inimese oli teinud maa peale, ja ta süda valutas.
7Yahweh said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground; man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them.”
7Ja Issand ütles: 'Ma tahan inimese, kelle ma olen loonud, maa pealt kaotada, niihästi inimesed kui loomad ja roomajad ja taeva linnud, sest ma kahetsen, et ma nad olen teinud!'
8But Noah found favor in Yahweh’s eyes.
8Aga Noa leidis armu Issanda silmis.
9This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
9See on jutustus Noa soost: Noa oli üks õige mees, täiesti vaga oma rahvapõlve seas; Noa kõndis koos Jumalaga.
10Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
10Ja Noale sündis kolm poega - Seem, Haam ja Jaafet.
11The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
11Aga maa oli Jumala palge ees raisku läinud ja vägivald täitis maad.
12God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
12Ja Jumal vaatas maad, ja näe, see oli raisku läinud, sest kõik liha maa peal oli oma eluviisides raiskunud.
13God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
13Ja Jumal ütles Noale: 'Ma olen otsustanud teha lõpu kõigele lihale, sest maa on täis nende vägivalda, ja seepärast, vaata, ma hävitan nemad koos maaga.
14Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.
14Tee enesele laev goferipuust; laev tee kambritega ja pigita seda seest ning väljast maapigiga!
15This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship will be three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
15Ja tee see nõndaviisi: laeva pikkus olgu kolmsada küünart, laius viiskümmend küünart ja kõrgus kolmkümmend küünart;
16You shall make a roof in the ship, and you shall finish it to a cubit upward. You shall set the door of the ship in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels.
16valmista see küünramõõdu järgi; tee laevale katus peale ja tee uks laeva küljesse; tee sellele alumine, keskmine ja ülemine lagi!
17I, even I, do bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die.
17Sest vaata, ma saadan veeuputuse maa peale ja hävitan taeva alt kõik liha, kus eluvaim sees on; kõik, mis maa peal on, peab hinge heitma!
18But I will establish my covenant with you. You shall come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
18Aga sinuga ma teen lepingu ja sina pead minema laeva, sina ja su pojad, su naine ja su poegade naised sinuga.
19Of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.
19Ja sa pead viima laeva kõigist elavaist olendeist, kõigest lihast, igast liigist kaks, et nad koos sinuga jääksid elama: need olgu isane ja emane.
20Of the birds after their kind, of the livestock after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come to you, to keep them alive.
20Lindudest nende liikide järgi ja loomadest nende liikide järgi, kõigist roomajaist maa peal nende liikide järgi, kõigist peavad kaks tulema sinu juurde, et nad võiksid jääda elama.
21Take with you of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them.”
21Ja sina võta enesele kõigest roast, mida süüakse, ja kogu enese juurde, et see oleks toiduks sinule ja neile.'
22Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
22Ja Noa tegi kõik. Nii nagu Jumal teda käskis, nõnda ta tegi.
