1.Mose 6 | English Standard Version

Increasing Corruption on Earth

1 When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in* man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” 4 The Nephilim* were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. 5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

Noah and the Flood

9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11 Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. 13 And God said to Noah, “I have determined to make an end of all flesh,* for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14 Make yourself an ark of gopher wood.* Make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch. 15 This is how you are to make it: the length of the ark 300 cubits,* its breadth 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits. 16 Make a roof* for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above, and set the door of the ark in its side. Make it with lower, second, and third decks. 17 For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die. 18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. 19 And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ark to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female. 20 Of the birds according to their kinds, and of the animals according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground, according to its kind, two of every sort shall come in to you to keep them alive. 21 Also take with you every sort of food that is eaten, and store it up. It shall serve as food for you and for them.” 22 Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.

الكتاب المقدس

فساد العالم

1 وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا ابْتَدَأَ النَّاسُ يَتَكَاثَرُونَ عَلَى سَطْحِ الأَرْضِ وَوُلِدَ لَهُمْ بَنَاتٌ، 2 انْجَذَبَتْ أَنْظَارُ أَبْنَاءِ اللهِ إِلَى بَنَاتِ النَّاسِ فَرَأَوْا أَنَّهُنَّ جَمِيلاتٌ فَاتَّخَذُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ مِنْهُنَّ زَوْجَاتٍ كَمَا طَابَ لَهُمْ. 3 فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «لَنْ يَمْكُثَ رُوحِي مُجَاهِداً فِي الإِنْسَانِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. هُوَ بَشَرِيٌّ زَائِغٌ، لِذَلِكَ لَنْ تَطُولَ أَيَّامُهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مِئَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فَقَطْ». 4 وَفِي تِلْكَ الْحِقَبِ، كَانَ فِي الأَرْضِ جَبَابِرَةٌ، وَبَعْدَ أَنْ دَخَلَ أَبْنَاءُ اللهِ عَلَى بَنَاتِ النَّاسِ وَلَدْنَ لَهُمْ أَبْنَاءً، صَارَ هَؤُلَاءِ الأَبْنَاءُ أَنْفُسُهُمُ الْجَبَابِرَةَ الْمَشْهُورِينَ مُنْذُ الْقِدَمِ. 5 وَرَأَى الرَّبُّ أَنَّ شَرَّ الإِنْسَانِ قَدْ كَثُرَ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَأَنَّ كُلَّ تَصَوُّرِ فِكْرِ قَلْبِهِ يَتَّسِمُ دَائِماً بِالإِثْمِ، 6 فَمَلأَ قَلبَهُ الأَسَفُ وَالْحُزْنُ لأَنَّهُ خَلَقَ الإِنْسَانَ. 7 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «أَمْحُو الإِنْسَانَ الَّذِي خَلَقْتُهُ عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ مَعَ سَائِرِ النَّاسِ وَالْحَيَوَانَاتِ وَالزَّوَاحِفِ وَطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ، لأَنِّي حَزِنْتُ أَنِّي خَلَقْتُهُ». 8 أَمَّا نُوحٌ فَقَدْ حَظِيَ بِرِضَى الرَّبِ.

نوح والطوفان

9 وَهَذَا سِجِلُّ مَوَالِيدِ نُوحٍ: كَانَ نُوحٌ صَالِحاً كَامِلاً فِي زَمَانِهِ، وَسَارَ نُوحٌ مَعَ اللهِ. 10 وَأَنْجَبَ نُوحٌ ثَلَاثَةَ أَبْنَاءٍ هُمْ سَامٌ وَحَامٌ وَيَافَثُ. 11 وَإِذْ سَادَ الشَّرُّ الأَرْضَ أَمَامَ اللهِ وَعَمَّهَا الظُّلْمُ، 12 نَظَرَ اللهُ وَإذَا بِها فَاسِدَةٌ لأَنَّ كُلَّ بَشَرٍ عَلَى الأَرْضِ قَدْ سَلَكَ فِي طَرِيقِ الإِثْمِ. 13 فَقَالَ اللهُ لِنُوحٍ: «قَدْ أَزِفَتْ نِهَايَةُ الْبَشَرِ جَمِيعاً أَمَامِي، لأَنَّهُمْ مَلَأُوا الأَرْضَ ظُلْماً. لِذَلِكَ سَأُبِيدُهُمْ مَعَ الأَرْضِ. 14 ابْنِ لَكَ فُلْكاً مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّرْوِ، وَاجْعَلْ فِيهِ غُرَفاً تَطْلِيهَا بِالزِّفْتِ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ وَالْخَارِجِ. 15 اصْنَعْهُ عَلَى هَذَا الْمِثَالِ: لِيَكُنْ طُولُهُ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةِ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسَةٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ مِتْراً)، وَعَرْضُهُ خَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ اثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) وَارْتِفَاعُهُ ثَلَاثِينَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ مِتْراً وَنِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ). 16 وَاجْعَلْ لَهُ نَافِذَةً عَلَى انْخِفَاضِ ذِرَاعٍ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنْتِمِتْراً) مِنَ السَّقْفِ، وَبَاباً تُقِيمُهُ فِي جَانِبِهِ. وَلْيَكُنْ لِلْفُلْكِ طَوَابِقُ سُفْلِيَّةٌ وَمُتَوَسِّطَةٌ وَعُلْوِيَّةٌ. 17 فَهَا أَنَا أُغْرِقُ الأَرْضَ بِطُوفَانٍ مِنَ الْمِيَاهِ لأُبِيدَ كُلَّ كَائِنٍ حَيٍّ فِيهَا مِمَّنْ تَحْتَ السَّمَاءِ. كُلُّ مَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ لَابُدَّ أَنْ يَمُوتَ. 18 وَلَكِنِّي سَأُقِيمُ مَعَكَ عَهْداً، فَتَدْخُلُ أَنْتَ مَعَ بَنِيكَ وَامْرَأَتِكَ وَنِسَاءِ بَنِيكَ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ. 19 وَتَأْخُذُ مَعَكَ فِي الْفُلْكِ زَوْجَيْنِ، ذَكَراً وَأُنْثَى، مِنْ كُلِّ كَائِنٍ حَيٍّ ذِي جَسَدٍ، لاسْتِبْقَائِهَا مَعَكَ. 20 تُدْخِلُ مَعَكَ اثْنَيْنِ مِنْ كُلِّ صَنْفٍ مِنْ أَصْنَافِ الطُّيُورِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ وَالزَّوَاحِفِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، حِفَاظاً عَلَى اسْتِمْرَارِ بَقَائِهَا. 21 وَتَدَّخِرُ لِنَفْسِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ طَعَامٍ يُؤْكَلُ وَتَخْزُنُهُ عِنْدَكَ لِيَكُونَ لَكَ وَلَهَا غِذَاءً». 22 وَفَعَلَ نُوحٌ تَمَاماً حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ بِهِ.
