부패한 인간의 죄악

사람이 땅에 번성하기 시작할 때 그들에게 딸들이 많이 태어났다.

[a]하나님의 아들들은 사람의 딸들이 아름다운 것을 보고 자기들이 좋아하는 여자를 데려다가 아내로 삼았다.

그러자 여호와께서 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “사람은 죽어야 할 육체이므로 내 영이 영영 사람에게 머물러 있지 않을 것이다. 그러나 [b]앞으로 내가 그들에게 120년 동안의 여유를 주겠다.”

그 당시에는 물론 그 후에도 땅에 ‘네피림’ 이라는 거인들이 있었다. 그들은 하나님의 아들들과 사람의 딸들 사이에서 난 자녀들로 고대에 명성을 떨친 영웅적인 존재들이었다.

여호와께서 사람의 죄악이 땅에 가득한 것과 그 마음의 생각이 항상 악한 것을 보시고

땅에 사람을 만든 것이 후회가 되어 탄식하시며

이렇게 말씀하셨다. “내가 창조한 사람을 지상에서 쓸어 버리겠다. 사람으로부터 짐승과 땅에 기어다니는 생물과 공중의 새까지 모조리 쓸어 버릴 것이다. 내가 이것들을 만든 것이 정말 후회가 되는구나.”

그러나 노아만은 여호와께 은총을 입은 사람이었다.

노아

이것은 노아에 대한 이야기이다. 그 당시의 사람들 가운데 노아만은 의롭고 흠이 없는 사람이었으며 하나님의 뜻대로 사는 자였다.

10 그리고 그에게는 셈과 함과 야벳이라는 세 아들도 있었다.

11-12 이 당시의 세상 사람들은 하나님이 보 시기에 아주 악하고 부패하여 세상은 온통 죄로 가득 차 있었다.

13 그래서 하나님이 노아에게 말씀하셨다. “내가 온 인류를 없애 버리기로 작정하였다. 그들의 죄가 땅에 가득하므로 내가 그들을 땅과 함께 멸망시킬 것이다.

14 너는 잣나무로 배를 만들어 그 안에 간막이를 하고 안팎으로 역청을 발라라.

15 배의 크기는 [c]길이 135미터, 너비 22.5미터, 높이 13.5미터로 하고

16 지붕 위에서 45센티미터 아래로 사방에 창을 내어라. 그리고 문은 옆으로 내고 3층으로 만들어라.

17 내가 홍수로 땅을 뒤덮어 살아 있는 생명체를 모조리 죽일 것이다.

18 그러나 내가 너를 안전하게 지킬 것을 약속한다. 너는 네 아들들과 아내와 며느리들을 데리고 그 배로 들어가거라.

19 그리고 모든 생물을 암수 한 쌍씩 배 안에 넣어 너와 함께 살아 남도록 하라.

20 새와 짐승과 땅에 기어다니는 모든 것이 종류대로 각각 암수 한 쌍씩 너에게 나아올 것이다. 너는 그 모든 생물을 보존하라.

21 너는 또 너와 그 모든 생물들이 먹을 양식을 배 안에 충분히 저장하라.”

22 그래서 노아는 하나님이 자기에게 명령하신 대로 다 하였다.

Wickedness in the World

When human beings began to increase in number on the earth(A) and daughters were born to them, the sons of God(B) saw that the daughters(C) of humans were beautiful,(D) and they married(E) any of them they chose. Then the Lord said, “My Spirit(F) will not contend with[a] humans forever,(G) for they are mortal[b];(H) their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”

The Nephilim(I) were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans(J) and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.(K)

The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth,(L) and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.(M) The Lord regretted(N) that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth(O) 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.(P) But Noah(Q) found favor in the eyes of the Lord.(R)

Noah and the Flood

This is the account(S) of Noah and his family.

Noah was a righteous man, blameless(T) among the people of his time,(U) and he walked faithfully with God.(V) 10 Noah had three sons: Shem,(W) Ham and Japheth.(X)

11 Now the earth was corrupt(Y) in God’s sight and was full of violence.(Z) 12 God saw how corrupt(AA) the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.(AB) 13 So 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(AC) both them and the earth.(AD) 14 So make yourself an ark of cypress[c] wood;(AE) make rooms in it and coat it with pitch(AF) inside and out. 15 This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.[d] 16 Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit[e] high all around.[f] Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. 17 I am going to bring floodwaters(AG) 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.(AH) 18 But I will establish my covenant with you,(AI) and you will enter the ark(AJ)—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. 19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you.(AK) 20 Two(AL) of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind(AM) of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.(AN) 21 You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.”

22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him.(AO)

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

And God 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.

And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

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

12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.

19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.

20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.

21 And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.

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