1.Mose 6 | New International Version

Wickedness in the world

1 When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, ‘My Spirit will not contend with* humans for ever, for they are mortal*; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.’ 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days – and also afterwards – when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. 5 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, ‘I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created – and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground – for I regret that I have made them.’ 8 But Noah found favour in the eyes of the Lord.

Noah and the flood

9 This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God. 10 Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth. 11 Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. 12 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. 13 So God said to Noah, ‘I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. 14 So make yourself an ark of cypress* wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. 15 This is how you are to build it: the ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.* 16 Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit* high all around.* Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. 17 I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish. 18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark – you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. 19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20 Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. 21 You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.’ 22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him.

طوفان نوح

1 در اين زمان كه تعداد انسانها روی زمين زياد میشد، پسران خدا* مجذوب دختران زيباروی انسانها شدند و هر كدام را كه پسنديدند، برای خود به زنی گرفتند. 3 آنگاه خداوند فرمود: «روح من هميشه در انسان باقی نخواهد ماند، زيرا او موجودی است فانی و نفسانی. پس صد و بيست سال به او فرصت میدهم تا خود را اصلاح كند.» 4 پس از آنكه پسران خدا و دختران انسانها با هم وصلت نمودند، مردانی غولآسا از آنان به وجود آمدند. اينان دلاوران معروف دوران قديم هستند. 5 هنگامی كه خداوند ديد مردم غرق در گناهند و دائماً به سوی زشتیها و پليدیها میروند، از آفرينش انسان متأسف و محزون شد. 7 پس خداوند فرمود: «من انسانی را كه آفريدهام از روی زمين محو میكنم. حتی حيوانات و خزندگان و پرندگان را نيز از بين میبرم، زيرا از آفريدن آنها متأسف شدم.» 8 اما در اين ميان نوح مورد لطف خداوند قرار گرفت. 9 اين است سرگذشت او: نوح سه پسر داشت به نامهای سام، حام و يافث. او تنها مرد درستكار و خداترس زمان خودش بود و هميشه میكوشيد مطابق خواست خدا زندگی كند. 11 در اين زمان، افزونی گناه و ظلم در نظر خدا به منتها درجهٔ خود رسيده و دنيا به کلی فاسد شده بود. 12 وقتی خدا فساد و شرارت بشر را مشاهده كرد، به نوح فرمود: «تصميم گرفتهام تمام اين مردم را هلاک كنم، زيرا زمين را از شرارت پُر ساختهاند. من آنها را همراه زمين از بين میبرم. 14 «اما تو، ای نوح، با چوب درخت سرو يک كشتی بساز و در آن اتاقهايی درست كن. درزها و شكافهای كشتی را با قير بپوشان. 15 آن را طوری بساز كه طولش ۳۰۰ ذراع،* عرضش ۵۰ ذراع و ارتفاع آن ۳۰ ذراع باشد. 16 يک ذراع پايينتر از سقف، پنجرهای برای روشنايی كشتی بساز. در داخل آن سه طبقه بنا كن و در ورودی كشتی را در پهلوی آن بگذار. 17 «بزودی من سراسر زمين را با آب خواهم پوشانيد تا هر موجود زندهای كه در آن هست، هلاک گردد. 18 اما با تو عهد میبندم كه تو را با همسر و پسران و عروسانت در كشتی سلامت نگاه دارم. 19 از تمام حيوانات، خزندگان و پرندگان يک جفت نر و ماده با خود به داخل كشتی ببر، تا از خطر اين طوفان در امان باشند. 21 همچنين خوراک كافی برای خود و برای تمام موجودات در كشتی ذخيره كن.» 22 نوح تمام اوامر خدا را انجام داد.
