창세기 6

1사람이 땅 위에 번성하기 시작할 때에 그들에게서 딸들이 나니 2하나님의 아들들이 사람의 딸들의 아름다움을 보고 자기들의 좋아하는 모든 자로 아내를 삼는지라 3여호와께서 가라사대 나의 신이 영원히 사람과 함께 하지 아니하리니 이는 그들이 육체가 됨이라 그러나 그들의 날은 일백이십 년이 되리라 하시니라 4당시에 땅에 네피림이 있었고 그 후에도 하나님의 아들들이 사람의 딸들을 취하여 자식을 낳았으니 그들이 용사라 고대에 유명한 사람이었더라 5여호와께서 사람의 죄악이 세상에 관영함과 그 마음의 생각의 모든 계획이 항상 악할 뿐임을 보시고 6땅 위에 사람 지으셨음을 한탄하사 마음에 근심하시고 7가라사대 나의 창조한 사람을 내가 지면에서 쓸어버리되 사람으로부터 육축과 기는 것과 공중의 새까지 그리하리니 이는 내가 그것을 지었음을 한탄함이니라 하시니라 8그러나 노아는 여호와께 은혜를 입었더라 9노아의 사적은 이러하니라 노아는 의인이요 당세에 완전한 자라 그가 하나님과 동행하였으며 10그가 세 아들을 낳았으니 셈과 함과 야벳이라 11때에 온 땅이 하나님 앞에 패괴하여 강포가 땅에 충만한지라 12하나님이 보신즉 땅이 패괴하였으니 이는 땅에서 모든 혈육 있는자의 행위가 패괴함이었더라 13하나님이 노아에게 이르시되 모든 혈육 있는 자의 강포가 땅에 가득하므로 그 끝날이 내 앞에 이르렀으니 내가 그들을 땅과 함께 멸하리라 14너는 잣나무로 너를 위하여 방주를 짓되 그 안에 간들을 막고 역청으로 그 안팎에 칠하라 15그 방주의 제도는 이러하니 장이 삼백 규빗, 광이 오십 규빗, 고가 삼십 규빗이며 16거기 창을 내되 위에서부터 한 규빗에 내고 그 문은 옆으로 내고 상 중 하 삼층으로 할지니라 17내가 홍수를 땅에 일으켜 무릇 생명의 기식 있는 육체를 천하에서 멸절하리니 땅에 있는 자가 다 죽으리라 18그러나 너와는 내가 내 언약을 세우리니 너는 네 아들들과 네 아내와 네 자부들과 함께 그 방주로 들어가고 19혈육 있는 모든 생물을 너는 각기 암 수 한쌍씩 방주로 이끌어 들여 너와 함께 생명을 보존케 하되 20새가 그 종류대로, 육축이 그 종류대로, 땅에 기는 모든 것이 그 종류대로, 각기 둘씩 네게로 나아오리니 그 생명을 보존케하라 21너는 먹을 모든 식물을 네게로 가져다가 저축하라 이것이 너와 그들의 식물이 되리라 22노아가 그와 같이 하되 하나님이 자기에게 명하신 대로 다 준행하였더라

1When men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were born to them, 2God’s sons saw that men’s daughters were beautiful, and they took any that they wanted for themselves as wives. 3Yahweh said, “My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; so his days will be one hundred twenty years.” 4The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God’s sons came in to men’s daughters and had children with them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. 5Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil. 6Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart. 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.” 8But Noah found favor in Yahweh’s eyes. 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. 10Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. 13God said to Noah, “I will bring an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them and the earth. 14Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch. 15This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship shall be three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 will come to you, to keep them alive. 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.” 22Thus Noah did. He did all that God commanded him.

1En het geschiedde, als de mensen op den aardbodem begonnen te vermenigvuldigen, en hun dochters geboren werden, 2Dat Gods zonen de dochteren der mensen aanzagen, dat zij schoon waren, en zij namen zich vrouwen uit allen, die zij verkozen hadden. 3Toen zeide de HEERE: Mijn Geest zal niet in eeuwigheid twisten met den mens, dewijl hij ook vlees is; doch zijn dagen zullen zijn honderd en twintig jaren. 4In die dagen waren er reuzen op de aarde, en ook daarna, als Gods zonen tot de dochteren der mensen ingegaan waren, en zich kinderen gewonnen hadden; deze zijn de geweldigen, die van ouds geweest zijn, mannen van name. 5En de HEERE zag, dat de boosheid des mensen menigvuldig was op de aarde, en al het gedichtsel der gedachten zijns harten te allen dage alleenlijk boos was. 6Toen berouwde het de HEERE, dat Hij den mens op de aarde gemaakt had, en het smartte Hem aan Zijn hart. 7En de HEERE zeide: Ik zal den mens, die Ik geschapen heb, verdelgen van den aardbodem, van den mens tot het vee, tot het kruipend gedierte, en tot het gevogelte des hemels toe; want het berouwt Mij, dat Ik hen gemaakt heb. 8Maar Noach vond genade in de ogen des HEEREN. 9Dit zijn de geboorten van Noach. Noach was een rechtvaardig, oprecht man in zijn geslachten. Noach wandelde met God. 10En Noach gewon drie zonen: Sem, Cham en Jafeth. 11Maar de aarde was verdorven voor Gods aangezicht; en de aarde was vervuld met wrevel. 12Toen zag God de aarde, en ziet, zij was verdorven; want al het vlees had zijn weg verdorven op de aarde. 13Daarom zeide God tot Noach: Het einde van alle vlees is voor Mijn aangezicht gekomen; want de aarde is door hen vervuld met wrevel; en zie, Ik zal hen met de aarde verderven. 14Maak u een ark van goferhout; met kameren zult gij deze ark maken; en gij zult die bepekken van binnen en van buiten met pek. 15En aldus is het, dat gij haar maken zult: driehonderd ellen zij de lengte der ark, vijftig ellen haar breedte, en dertig ellen haar hoogte. 16Gij zult een venster aan de ark maken, en zult haar volmaken tot een elle van boven; en de deur der ark zult gij in haar zijde zetten; gij zult ze met onderste, tweede en derde verdiepingen maken. 17Want Ik, zie, Ik breng een watervloed over de aarde, om alle vlees, waarin een geest des levens is, van onder den hemel te verderven; al wat op de aarde is, zal den geest geven. 18Maar met u zal Ik Mijn verbond oprichten; en gij zult in de ark gaan, gij, en uw zonen, en uw huisvrouw, en de vrouwen uwer zonen met u. 19En gij zult van al wat leeft, van alle vlees, twee van elk, doen in de ark komen, om met u in het leven te behouden: mannetje en wijfje zullen zij zijn; 20Van het gevogelte naar zijn aard, en van het vee naar zijn aard, van al het kruipend gedierte des aardbodems naar zijn aard, twee van elk zullen tot u komen, om die in het leven te behouden. 21En gij, neem voor u van alle spijze, die gegeten wordt, en verzamel ze tot u, opdat zij u en hun tot spijze zij. 22En Noach deed het; naar al wat God hem geboden had, zo deed hij.
