New International Version

Genesis 6:1-22

Wickedness in the World

1When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with6:3 Or My spirit will not remain in humans forever, for they are mortal6:3 Or corrupt; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”

4The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—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.

5The 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. 6The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7So 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.” 8But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

Noah and the Flood

9This 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. 10Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.

11Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. 12God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. 13So 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. 14So make yourself an ark of cypress6:14 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain. wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. 15This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.6:15 That is, about 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high or about 135 meters long, 23 meters wide and 14 meters high 16Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit6:16 That is, about 18 inches or about 45 centimeters high all around.6:16 The meaning of the Hebrew for this clause is uncertain. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. 17I 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. 18But 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. 19You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20Two 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. 21You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.”

22Noah did everything just as God commanded him.

Genesis 6:1-22

Ang Kasamaan ng Tao

1Hindi nagtagal, dumami ang mga tao sa mundo, at marami ang kabataan nilang babae. 2Nakita ng mga anak ng Dios6:2 mga anak ng Dios: o, mga anghel; o, mga pinuno; o, lahi ni Set. na ang mga babae ay magaganda. Kaya pumili sila ng magiging asawa nila sa sinumang maibigan nila. 3Ngayon, sinabi ng Panginoon, “Hindi ko papayagang mabuhay ang tao nang matagal dahil silaʼy tao lamang. Kaya mula ngayon, ang tao ay mabubuhay nang hindi hihigit sa 120 taon.”

4Nang panahong iyon, at kahit nitong huli, may mga kilalang tao sa mundo na mula sa lahi ng mga anak ng Dios na nagsipag-asawa ng magagandang babae. Silaʼy makapangyarihan at kilalang tao noong unang panahon.

5Nang makita ng Panginoon na ang ginagawa ng mga tao sa mundo ay puro kasamaan lang, at ang palagi nilang iniisip ay masama, 6nanghinayang siya kung bakit ginawa pa niya ang tao sa mundo. Labis ang kalungkutan niya, 7kaya sinabi niya, “Lilipulin ko ang lahat ng taong nilikha ko sa buong lupain. At lilipulin ko rin ang lahat ng hayop sa lupa pati ang mga hayop na lumilipad, dahil nanghihinayang ako sa paglikha sa kanila.” 8Pero may isang tao na nakapagbigay-lugod sa Panginoon, siya ay si Noe.

Si Noe

9Ito ang salaysay tungkol sa pamilya ni Noe.

Si Noe ay makadios. Siya lang ang namumuhay na matuwid sa kapanahunan niya, at malapit ang kanyang relasyon sa Dios. 10May tatlo siyang anak na lalaki na sina Shem, Ham at Jafet.

11Napakasama na ng mga tao sa paningin ng Dios, at ang kanilang kasamaan ay laganap na sa mundo. 12Nakita ng Dios na lubhang masama ang mga tao sa mundo dahil ang ginagawa nila ay puro kasamaan. 13Kaya sinabi niya kay Noe, “Lilipulin ko ang lahat ng tao. Dahil sa kanila, lumaganap ang kasamaan sa mundo. Lilipulin ko sila kasama ng mundo. 14Kaya ikaw Noe, gumawa ka ng barko mula sa matibay na kahoy, at gawan mo ito ng mga kwarto. Pagkatapos, pahiran mo ng alkitran ang loob at labas ng barko.6:14 barko: sa ibang salin, arko. 15Gawin mo ito na may sukat na 450 talampakan ang haba, 75 talampakan ang luwang, at 45 talampakan ang taas. 16Lagyan mo ng bubong ang barko, at lagyan mo ng agwat na kalahating metro ang dingding at ang bubong. Gawan mo ang barko ng tatlong palapag, at lagyan ng pintuan sa gilid. 17Sapagkat pababahain ko ang mundo para malipol ang lahat ng nabubuhay. Mamamatay ang lahat ng nasa mundo. 18Pero gagawa ako ng kasunduan sa iyo. Papasok ka sa barko kasama ng asawa at ng mga anak mo pati ang mga asawa nila. 19Magpapasok ka rin ng isang lalaki at babae sa bawat uri ng hayop para mabuhay sila kasama mo. 20Dalawa sa bawat uri ng lahat ng hayop: mga lumilipad, lumalakad at gumagapang. Lalapit sila sa iyo para hindi sila mamatay. 21Magdala ka rin ng lahat ng uri ng pagkain para sa inyo at para rin sa mga hayop.”

22Sinunod ni Noe ang lahat ng iniutos ng Dios sa kanya.
