¹ Kaj kiam la homoj komencis multigxi sur la tero kaj al ili naskigxis filinoj,

² tiam la filoj de Dio vidis la filinojn de la homoj, ke ili estas belaj; kaj ili prenis al si edzinojn el cxiuj, kiujn ili elektis.

³ Kaj la Eternulo diris: Ne regos Mia spirito inter la homoj eterne, pro iliaj pekoj, cxar ili estas karno; ilia vivo estu cent dudek jaroj.

⁴ Gigantoj estis sur la tero en tiu tempo, ecx post kiam la filoj de Dio venis al la filinoj de la homoj kaj cxi tiuj naskis al ili. Tio estis la fortuloj, tre famaj de plej antikva tempo.

⁵ Kaj la Eternulo vidis, ke granda estas la malboneco de la homoj sur la tero kaj ke cxiuj pensoj kaj intencoj de iliaj koroj estas nur malbono en cxiu tempo;

⁶ tiam la Eternulo pentis, ke Li kreis la homon sur la tero, kaj Li afliktigxis en Sia koro.

⁷ Kaj la Eternulo diris: Mi ekstermos de sur la tero la homon, kiun Mi kreis, de la homo gxis la brutoj, gxis la rampajxoj, kaj gxis la birdoj de la cxielo; cxar Mi pentas, ke Mi ilin kreis.

⁸ Sed Noa akiris placxon en la okuloj de la Eternulo.

⁹ Jen estas la historio de Noa: Noa estis homo virta kaj senmakula en sia generacio; kun Dio Noa iradis.

¹⁰ Kaj naskigxis al Noa tri filoj: SXem, HXam, kaj Jafet.

¹¹ Kaj la tero malvirtigxis antaux Dio, kaj la tero plenigxis de maljustajxoj.

¹² Kaj Dio vidis la teron, ke gxi malvirtigxis, cxar cxiu karno malvirtigis sian vojon sur la tero.

¹³ Kaj Dio diris al Noa: La fino de cxiu karno venis antaux Min, cxar la tero plenigxis de maljustajxoj per ili, kaj jen Mi pereigos ilin kun la tero.

¹⁴ Faru al vi arkeon el ligno gofera; apartajxojn faru en la arkeo, kaj sxmiru gxin per pecxo interne kaj ekstere.

¹⁵ Kaj faru gxin tiamaniere: tricent ulnoj estu la longo de la arkeo, kvindek ulnoj gxia largxo, kaj tridek ulnoj gxia alto.

¹⁶ Fenestron faru en la arkeo, supre, kun la alto de unu ulno, kaj la pordon de la arkeo vi faros en la flanko; malsupran spacon, duan spacon, kaj trian spacon faru en gxi.

¹⁷ Kaj jen Mi venigos akvan diluvon sur la teron, por ekstermi cxiun karnon, kiu havas en si spiriton de vivo sub la cxielo; cxio, kio estas sur la tero, pereos.

¹⁸ Kaj Mi starigos Mian interligon kun vi; kaj vi eniros en la arkeon, vi kaj viaj filoj kaj via edzino kaj la edzinoj de viaj filoj kune kun vi.

¹⁹ Kaj el cxiuj vivajxoj, el cxiu karno, enkonduku po unu paro el cxiuj en la arkeon, ke ili restu vivaj kun vi; virbesto kaj virinbesto ili estu.

²⁰ El la birdoj laux iliaj specoj, kaj el la brutoj laux iliaj specoj, el cxiuj rampajxoj de la tero laux iliaj specoj, po paro el cxiuj eniru kun vi, por resti vivaj.

²¹ Kaj vi prenu al vi el cxiuj mangxajxoj, kiuj estas mangxataj, kaj kolektu al vi; kaj gxi estu por vi kaj por ili por mangxi.

²² Kaj Noa tion faris; cxion, kiel Dio al li ordonis, tiel li faris.

¹ Joseph was brought down to Egypt. Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites that had brought him down there.

² Yahweh was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

³ His master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh made all that he did prosper in his hand.

⁴ Joseph found favor in his sight. He ministered to him, and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

⁵ It happened from the time that he made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that Yahweh blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of Yahweh was on all that he had, in the house and in the field.

⁶ He left all that he had in Joseph's hand. He didn't concern himself with anything, except for the food which he ate. Joseph was well-built and handsome.

⁷ It happened after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph; and she said, "Lie with me."

⁸ But he refused, and said to his master's wife, "Behold, my master doesn't know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.

⁹ He isn't greater in this house than I, neither has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?"

¹⁰ As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn't listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

¹¹ About this time, he went into the house to do his work, and there were none of the men of the house inside.

¹² She caught him by his garment, saying, "Lie with me!" He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.

¹³ When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,

¹⁴ she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, "Behold, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.

¹⁵ It happened, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and ran outside."

¹⁶ She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.

¹⁷ She spoke to him according to these words, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,

¹⁸ and it happened, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and ran outside."

¹⁹ It happened, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, "This is what your servant did to me," that his wrath was kindled.

²⁰ Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound, and he was there in custody.

²¹ But Yahweh was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

²² The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for it.

²³ The keeper of the prison didn't look after anything that was under his hand, because Yahweh was with him; and that which he did, Yahweh made it prosper.
