Genesis 5
La Bible du Semeur
D’Adam aux fils de Noé
1Voici l’histoire de la famille d’Adam. Quand Dieu créa les êtres humains, il les fit de telle sorte qu’ils lui ressemblent.2Il les créa homme et femme, il les bénit et leur donna le nom d’hommes le jour où ils furent créés.3Adam était âgé de 130 ans quand il eut un fils qui lui ressemble, qui soit son image. Il lui donna le nom de Seth.4Après cela, Adam vécut encore 800 ans et il eut d’autres enfants.5La durée totale de sa vie fut de 930 ans, puis il mourut.6Quand Seth fut âgé de 105 ans, il eut pour fils[1] Enosh.7Après cela, il vécut encore 807 ans et il eut d’autres enfants.8Il mourut à l’âge de 912 ans.9Quand Enosh fut âgé de 90 ans, il eut pour fils Qénân.10Après cela, il vécut encore 815 ans et il eut d’autres enfants.11Il mourut à l’âge de 905 ans.12Quand Qénân fut âgé de 70 ans, il eut pour fils Mahalaléel.13Après cela, il vécut encore 840 ans et il eut d’autres enfants.14Il mourut à l’âge de 910 ans.15Quand Mahalaléel fut âgé de 65 ans, il eut pour fils Yéred.16Après cela, Mahalaléel vécut encore 830 ans et il eut d’autres enfants.17Il mourut à l’âge de 895 ans.18Quand Yéred fut âgé de 162 ans, il eut pour fils Hénok.19Après cela, il vécut encore 800 ans, et il eut d’autres enfants.20Il mourut à l’âge de 962 ans.21Quand Hénok fut âgé de 65 ans, il eut pour fils Mathusalem.22Après cela, Hénok mena sa vie sous le regard de Dieu durant 300 ans et il eut d’autres enfants.23La durée totale de sa vie fut de 365 ans.24Hénok vécut en communion avec Dieu puis il disparut, car Dieu le prit[2].
