¹It happened, when men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were born to them,

¹A stalo sa, keď sa začali ľudia množiť na tvári zeme, a narodily sa im dcéry,

²that God’s sons saw that men’s daughters were beautiful, and they took for themselves wives of all that they chose.

²že videli synovia Boží ľudské dcéry, že sú krásne, a brali si ženy zo všetkých, ktoré si volili.

³Yahweh said, “My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; yet will his days be one hundred twenty years.”

³A Hospodin riekol: Nebude sa môj Duch prieť s človekom na veky v jeho blúdení; je telo, a bude jeho dní sto dvadsať rokov.

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.

⁴V tých dňoch boli obrovia na zemi, a tiež i potom, keď vchádzali synovia Boží k ľudským dcéram a rodily im. To boli tí siláci, ktorí sú od veku mužmi povestného mena.

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.

⁵A Hospodin videl, že sa množí zlosť človeka na zemi, a že všetko, čokoľvek vytvoria myšlienky jeho srdca, je len zlé po všetky dni.

⁶Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.

⁶A Hospodin ľutoval, že učinil človeka na zemi, a mal bolesť vo svojom srdci.

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.”

⁷A Hospodin riekol: Zahladím človeka, ktorého som stvoril, s tvári zeme, zahladím všetko od človeka až do hoväda, až do zemeplazu a až do nebeského vtáka, lebo ľutujem, že som ich učinil.

⁸But Noah found favor in Yahweh’s eyes.

⁸Ale Noach našiel milosť v očiach Hospodinových.

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.

⁹Toto sú rody Noachove: Noach bol spravedlivý muž dokonalý vo svojich pokoleniach. Noach chodil s Bohom.

¹⁰Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

¹⁰A Noach splodil troch synov: Sema, Chama a Jafeta.

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

¹¹A zem bola porušená pred Bohom a zem bola naplnená ukrutnosťou.

¹²God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

¹²A Bôh videl zem, a hľa, bola porušená, lebo každé telo bolo porušilo svoju cestu na zemi.

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.

¹³A Bôh riekol Noachovi: Koniec každého tela prišiel predo mňa, lebo zem je plná ukrutnosti od nich, a hľa, zkazím ich aj so zemou.

¹⁴Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.

¹⁴Učiň si koráb z dreva gófera; a spravíš koráb s priehradami a pokryješ ho zvnútra i zvonku smolou.

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.

¹⁵A spravíš ho na takýto spôsob: tristo lakťov bude dĺžka korábu, päťdesiat lakťov jeho šírka a tridsať lakťov jeho výška.

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.

¹⁶Korábu spravíš oblok, a to na lakeť a zavrieš ho, shora. A dvere korábu umiestiš na jeho boku; spravíš ho s poschodiami, so spodným, druhým a tretím poschodím.

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.

¹⁷A ja, hľa, uvediem potopu vôd na zem, aby som skazil každé telo, v ktorom je duch života pod nebom; všetko, čo je na zemi, zomrie.

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.

¹⁸A postavím svoju smluvu s tebou, a vojdeš do korábu ty i tvoji synovia i tvoja žena i ženy tvojich synov s tebou.

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.

¹⁹A zo všetkých zvierat, z každého tela, po dvoje uvedieš z každého do korábu, aby si ich zachoval živé so sebou; samec a samica budú.

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.

²⁰Z vtáctva podľa jeho druhu, z hoviad podľa ich druhu, zo všetkých zemeplazov podľa ich druhu, po dvoje z každého vojdú k tebe, aby boly zachované živé.

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.”

²¹A ty si naber z každej potraviny, ktorá sa jie, a shromaždíš to k sebe a bude to tebe aj im na pokrm.

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

²²A Noach učinil všetko tak, ako mu prikázal Bôh; tak učinil.
