¹ Čujte reč Gospodnju, sinovi Izrailjevi, jer Gospod ima parbu sa stanovnicima zemaljskim; jer nema istine ni milosti ni znanja za Boga u zemlji;

² Zaklinju se krivo i lažu i ubijaju i kradu i čine preljubu, zastraniše, i jedna krv stiže drugu.

³ Zato će tužiti zemlja, i šta god živi na njoj prenemoći će, i zveri poljske i ptice nebeske; i ribe će morske pomreti.

⁴ Ali niko da se ne prepire ni da koga kori, jer je narod tvoj kao oni koji se prepiru sa sveštenikom.

⁵ Zato ćeš pasti danju, i s tobom će prorok pasti noću, i pogubiću mater tvoju.

⁶ Izgibe moj narod, jer je bez znanja; kad si ti odbacio znanje, i ja ću tebe odbaciti da mi ne vršiš službe svešteničke; kad si zaboravio Boga svog, i ja ću zaboraviti sinove tvoje.

⁷ Što se više množiše, to mi više grešiše; slavu njihovu pretvoriću u sramotu.

⁸ Od greha naroda mog hrane se, i lakome se na bezakonje njihovo.

⁹ Zato će biti svešteniku kao narodu; pohodiću ga za puteve njegove i platiću mu za dela njegova.

¹⁰ I oni će jesti, a neće se nasititi; kurvaće se, a neće se množiti; jer prestaše služiti Gospodu.

¹¹ Kurvarstvo i vino i mast oduzima srce.

¹² Narod moj pita drvo svoje, i palica mu njegova odgovara; jer duh kurvarski zavodi ih da se kurvaju odstupivši od Boga svog.

¹³ Navrh gora prinose žrtve, i na humovima kade pod hrastovima, topolama i brestovima, jer im je sen dobar; zato se kurvaju kćeri vaše i snahe vaše čine preljubu.

¹⁴ Neću karati kćeri vaših kad se kurvaju, ni snaha vaših kad čine preljubu; jer se oni odvajaju s kurvama i prinose žrtve s nevaljalim ženama; i narod nerazumni propašće.

¹⁵ Ako se ti kurvaš, Izrailju, neka ne greši Juda; i ne idite u Galgal niti idite u Vet-aven, i ne kunite se: Tako da je živ Gospod.

¹⁶ Jer je Izrailj uporan kao uporna junica; sada će ih pasti Gospod kao jagnje na prostranom mestu.

¹⁷ Jefrem se udružio s lažnim bogovima; ostavi ga.

¹⁸ Piće se njihovo prevrnu, jednako se kurvaju; milo im je: dajte. Braniči su njegovi sramota.

¹⁹ Vetar će ih stegnuti krilima svojim, i oni će se posramiti od žrtava svojih.

¹³ Zato će pravedni ćutati u ovo vreme, jer je zlo vreme.

¹ Yahweh said to Noah, "Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.

² You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.

³ Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.

⁴ In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. Every living thing that I have made, I will destroy from the surface of the ground."

⁵ Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him.

⁶ Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.

⁷ Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, because of the waters of the flood.

⁸ Clean animals, animals that are not Clean, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground

⁹ went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.

¹⁰ It happened after the seven days, that the waters of the flood came on the earth.

¹¹ In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were burst open, and the sky's windows were opened.

¹² The rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.

¹³ In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship;

¹⁴ they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.

¹⁵ They went to Noah into the ship, by pairs of all flesh with the breath of life in them.

¹⁶ Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; and Yahweh shut him in.

¹⁷ The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.

¹⁸ The waters prevailed, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.

¹⁹ The waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.

²⁰ The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.

²¹ All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.

²² All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.

²³ Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.

²⁴ The waters prevailed on the earth one hundred fifty days.
