¹ Και οτε ηρχισαν οι ανθρωποι να πληθυνωνται επι του προσωπου της γης, και θυγατερες εγεννηθησαν εις αυτους,

² ιδοντες οι υιοι του Θεου τας θυγατερας των ανθρωπων, οτι ησαν ωραιαι, ελαβον εις εαυτους γυναικας εκ πασων οσας εκλεξαν.

³ Και ειπε Κυριος, Δεν θελει καταμεινει παντοτε το πνευμα μου μετα του ανθρωπου, διοτι ειναι σαρξ· αι ημεραι αυτου θελουσιν εισθαι ακομη εκατον εικοσι ετη.

⁴ Κατ' εκεινας τας ημερας ησαν οι γιγαντες επι της γης, και ετι, υστερον, αφου οι υιοι του Θεου εισηλθον εις τας θυγατερας των ανθρωπων, και αυται ετεκνοποιησαν εις αυτους· εκεινοι ησαν οι δυνατοι, οι εκπαλαι ανδρες ονομαστοι.

⁵ Και ειδεν ο Κυριος ετι επληθυνετο η κακια του ανθρωπου επι της γης, και παντες οι σκοποι των διαλογισμων της καρδιας αυτου ησαν μονον κακια πασας τας ημερας.

⁶ Και μετεμεληθη ο Κυριος οτι εποιησε τον ανθρωπον επι της γης. και ελυπηθη εν τη καρδια αυτου.

⁷ Και ειπεν ο Κυριος, Θελω εξαλειψει τον ανθρωπον, τον οποιον εποιησα, απο προσωπου της γης· απο ανθρωπου εως κτηνους, εως ερπετου, και εως πτηνου του ουρανου· επειδη μετεμεληθην οτι εποιησα αυτους.

⁸ Ο δε Νωε ευρε χαριν ενωπιον Κυριου.

⁹ Αυτη ειναι η γενεαλογια του Νωε. Ο Νωε ητο ανθρωπος δικαιος, τελειος μεταξυ των συγχρονων αυτου· μετα του Θεου περιεπατησεν ο Νωε.

¹⁰ Και εγεννησεν ο Νωε τρεις υιους, τον Σημ, τον Χαμ και τον Ιαφεθ.

¹¹ Διεφθαρη δε η γη ενωπιον του Θεου, και ενεπλησθη η γη αδικιας.

¹² Και ειδεν ο Θεος την γην, και ιδου, ητο διεφθαρμενη· διοτι πασα σαρξ ειχε διαφθειρει την οδον αυτης επι της γης.

¹³ Και ειπεν ο Θεος προς τον Νωε, Το τελος πασης σαρκος ηλθεν ενωπιον μου, διοτι η γη ενεπλησθη αδικιας απ' αυτων· και ιδου, θελω εξολοθρευσει αυτους και την γην.

¹⁴ Καμε εις σεαυτον κιβωτον εκ ξυλων Γοφερ· κατα δωματια θελεις καμει την κιβωτον, και θελεις αλειψει αυτην εσωθεν και εξωθεν με πισσαν.

¹⁵ Και ουτω θελεις καμει αυτην· το μεν μηκος της κιβωτου θελει εισθαι τριακοσιων πηχων, το δε πλατος αυτης πεντηκοντα πηχων, και το υψος αυτης τριακοντα πηχων.

¹⁶ Στεγην θελεις καμει εις την κιβωτον, και εις πηχην θελεις τελειωσει αυτην ανωθεν· και την θυραν της κιβωτου θελεις βαλει εκ πλαγιων· κατωγαια, διωροφα, και τριωροφα θελεις καμει αυτην.

¹⁷ Εγω δε, ιδου, εγω επιφερω τον κατακλυσμον των υδατων επι της γης, δια να εξολοθρευσω πασαν σαρκα, εχουσαν εν εαυτη πνευμα ζωης υποκατω του ουρανου· παν ο, τι ειναι επι της γης, θελει αποθανει.

¹⁸ Και θελω στησει την διαθηκην μου προς σε· και θελεις εισελθει εις την κιβωτον, συ, και οι υιοι σου, και η γυνη σου, και αι γυναικες των υιων σου μετα σου.

¹⁹ Και απο παντος ζωου εκ πασης σαρκος, ανα δυο εκ παντων θελεις εισαξει εις την κιβωτον, δια να φυλαξης την ζωην αυτων μετα σεαυτου· αρσεν και θηλυ θελουσιν εισθαι.

²⁰ Απο των πτηνων κατα το ειδος αυτων, και απο των κτηνων κατα το ειδος αυτων, απο παντων των ερπετων της γης κατα το ειδος αυτων, ανα δυο εκ παντων θελουσιν εισελθει προς σε, δια να φυλαξης την ζωην αυτων.

²¹ Και συ λαβε εις σεαυτον απο παντος φαγητου το οποιον τρωγεται, και θελεις συναξει αυτο πλησιον σου· και θελει εισθαι εις σε, και εις αυτα, προς τροφην.

²² Και εκαμεν ο Νωε κατα παντα οσα προσεταξεν εις αυτον ο Θεος· ουτως εκαμε.

¹ It happened, when men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were born to them,

² that God's sons saw that men's daughters were beautiful, and they took for themselves wives of all that they chose.

³ Yahweh said, "My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; yet will his days be one hundred twenty years."

⁴ The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God's sons came in to men's daughters. They bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

⁵ Yahweh 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.

⁶ Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.

⁷ Yahweh said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground; man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."

⁸ But Noah found favor in Yahweh's eyes.

⁹ This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.

¹⁰ Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

¹¹ The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

¹² God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

¹³ God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

¹⁴ Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.

¹⁵ This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship will be three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

¹⁶ You shall make a roof in the ship, and you shall finish it to a cubit upward. You shall set the door of the ship in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels.

¹⁷ I, even I, do bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die.

¹⁸ But I will establish my covenant with you. You shall come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.

¹⁹ Of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.

²⁰ Of the birds after their kind, of the livestock after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come to you, to keep them alive.

²¹ Take with you of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them."

²² Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
