¹ και εγενετο ηνικα ηρξαντο οι ανθρωποι πολλοι γινεσθαι επι της γης και θυγατερες εγενηθησαν αυτοις

² ιδοντες δε οι υιοι του θεου τας θυγατερας των ανθρωπων οτι καλαι εισιν ελαβον εαυτοις γυναικας απο πασων ων εξελεξαντο

³ και ειπεν κυριος ο θεος ου μη καταμεινη το πνευμα μου εν τοις ανθρωποις τουτοις εις τον αιωνα δια το ειναι αυτους σαρκας εσονται δε αι ημεραι αυτων εκατον εικοσι ετη

⁴ οι δε γιγαντες ησαν επι της γης εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις και μετ' εκεινο ως αν εισεπορευοντο οι υιοι του θεου προς τας θυγατερας των ανθρωπων και εγεννωσαν εαυτοις εκεινοι ησαν οι γιγαντες οι απ' αιωνος οι ανθρωποι οι ονομαστοι

⁵ ιδων δε κυριος ο θεος οτι επληθυνθησαν αι κακιαι των ανθρωπων επι της γης και πας τις διανοειται εν τη καρδια αυτου επιμελως επι τα πονηρα πασας τας ημερας

⁶ και ενεθυμηθη ο θεος οτι εποιησεν τον ανθρωπον επι της γης και διενοηθη

⁷ και ειπεν ο θεος απαλειψω τον ανθρωπον ον εποιησα απο προσωπου της γης απο ανθρωπου εως κτηνους και απο ερπετων εως των πετεινων του ουρανου οτι εθυμωθην οτι εποιησα αυτους

⁸ νωε δε ευρεν χαριν εναντιον κυριου του θεου

⁹ αυται δε αι γενεσεις νωε νωε ανθρωπος δικαιος τελειος ων εν τη γενεα αυτου τω θεω ευηρεστησεν νωε

¹⁰ εγεννησεν δε νωε τρεις υιους τον σημ τον χαμ τον ιαφεθ

¹¹ εφθαρη δε η γη εναντιον του θεου και επλησθη η γη αδικιας

¹² και ειδεν κυριος ο θεος την γην και ην κατεφθαρμενη οτι κατεφθειρεν πασα σαρξ την οδον αυτου επι της γης

¹³ και ειπεν ο θεος προς νωε καιρος παντος ανθρωπου ηκει εναντιον μου οτι επλησθη η γη αδικιας απ' αυτων και ιδου εγω καταφθειρω αυτους και την γην

¹⁴ ποιησον ουν σεαυτω κιβωτον εκ ξυλων τετραγωνων νοσσιας ποιησεις την κιβωτον και ασφαλτωσεις αυτην εσωθεν και εξωθεν τη ασφαλτω

¹⁵ και ουτως ποιησεις την κιβωτον τριακοσιων πηχεων το μηκος της κιβωτου και πεντηκοντα πηχεων το πλατος και τριακοντα πηχεων το υψος αυτης

¹⁶ επισυναγων ποιησεις την κιβωτον και εις πηχυν συντελεσεις αυτην ανωθεν την δε θυραν της κιβωτου ποιησεις εκ πλαγιων καταγαια διωροφα και τριωροφα ποιησεις αυτην

¹⁷ εγω δε ιδου επαγω τον κατακλυσμον υδωρ επι την γην καταφθειραι πασαν σαρκα εν η εστιν πνευμα ζωης υποκατω του ουρανου και οσα εαν η επι της γης τελευτησει

¹⁸ και στησω την διαθηκην μου προς σε εισελευση δε εις την κιβωτον συ και οι υιοι σου και η γυνη σου και αι γυναικες των υιων σου μετα σου

¹⁹ και απο παντων των κτηνων και απο παντων των ερπετων και απο παντων των θηριων και απο πασης σαρκος δυο δυο απο παντων εισαξεις εις την κιβωτον ινα τρεφης μετα σεαυτου αρσεν και θηλυ εσονται

²⁰ απο παντων των ορνεων των πετεινων κατα γενος και απο παντων των κτηνων κατα γενος και απο παντων των ερπετων των ερποντων επι της γης κατα γενος αυτων δυο δυο απο παντων εισελευσονται προς σε τρεφεσθαι μετα σου αρσεν και θηλυ

²¹ συ δε λημψη σεαυτω απο παντων των βρωματων α εδεσθε και συναξεις προς σεαυτον και εσται σοι και εκεινοις φαγειν

²² και εποιησεν νωε παντα οσα ενετειλατο αυτω κυριος ο θεος ουτως εποιησεν

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.
