Genesis 6
1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them,
Cumque coepissent homines multiplicari super terram, et filias procreassent,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all whom they chose.
Videntes filii Dei filias hominum quod essent pulchrae, acceperunt sibi uxores ex omnibus, quas elegerant.
3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
Dixitque Deus: Non permanebit spiritus meus in homine in aeternum, quia caro est: eruntque dies illius centum viginti annorum.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore [children] to them: the same [became] mighty men, who [were] of old, men of renown.
Gigantes autem erant super terram in diebus illis. postquam enim ingressi sunt filii Dei ad filias hominum, illaeque genuerunt, isti sunt potentes a saeculo viri famosi.
5 And 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.
Videns autem Deus quod multa malitia hominum esset in terra, et cuncta cogitatio cordis intenta esset ad malum omni tempore,
6 And the LORD repented that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
poenituit eum quod hominum fecisset in terra. Et tactus dolore cordis intrinsecus,
7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created, from the face of the earth, both man and beast, and the creeping animal, and the fowls of the air; for I repent that I have made them.
Delebo, inquit, hominem, quem creavi, a facie terrae, ab homine usque ad animantia, a reptili usque ad volucres caeli. poenitet enim me fecisse eos.
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Noe vero invenit gratiam coram Domino.
9 These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man, [and] perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God.
Hae sunt generationes Noe: Noe vir iustus atque perfectus fuit in generationibus suis, cum Deo ambulavit.
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Et genuit tres filios, Sem, Cham et Iapheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God; and the earth was filled with violence.
Corrupta est autem terra coram Deo, et repleta est iniquitate.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt: for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
Cumque vidisset Deus terram esse corruptam, (omnis quippe caro corruperat viam suam super terram)
13 And God said to 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.
dixit ad Noe: Finis universae carnis venit coram me: repleta est terra iniquitate a facie eorum, et ego disperdam eos cum terra.
14 Make thee an ark of gopher-wood: rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
Fac tibi arcam de lignis laevigatis: mansiunculas in arca facies, et bitumine linies intrinsecus, et extrinsecus.
15 And this [is the fashion] in which thou shalt make it: the length of the ark [shall be] three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
Et sic facies eam: Trecentorum cubitorum erit longitudo arcae, quinquaginta cubitorum latitudo, et triginta cubitorum altitudo illius.
16 A 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 its side: [with] lower, second, and third [stories] shalt thou make it.
Fenestram in arca facies, et in cubito consummabis summitatem eius: ostium autem arcae pones ex latere: deorsum, coenacula, et tristega facies in ea.
17 And behold, I, even I do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, in which [is] the breath of life, from under heaven: [and] every thing that [is] on the earth shall die.
Ecce ego adducam aquas diluvii super terram, ut interficiam omnem carnem, in qua spiritus vitae est subter caelum: et Universa quae in terra sunt, consumentur.
18 But 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.
Ponamque foedus meum tecum: et ingredieris arcam tu et filii tui, uxor tua, et uxores filiorum tuorum tecum.
19 And 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.
Et ex cunctis animantibus universae carnis bina induces in arcam, ut vivant tecum: masculini sexus et feminini.
20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping animal of the earth after its kind, two of every [sort] shall come to thee, to keep [them] alive.
De volucribus iuxta genus suum, et de iumentis in genere suo, et ex omni reptili terrae secundum genus suum: bina de omnibus ingredientur tecum, ut possint vivere.
21 And take thou to 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.
Tolles igitur tecum ex omnibus escis, quae mandi possunt, et comportabis apud te: et erunt tam tibi, quam illis in cibum.
22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
Fecit igitur Noe omnia, quae praeceperat illi Deus.
The World is Destroyed by Water
