The Nephilim and the Daughters of Men

6 Now it happened, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were good in appearance; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. 3 Then Yahweh said, “(A)My Spirit shall not [a]strive with man forever [b](B)because he indeed is flesh; [c]nevertheless his days shall be 120 years.” 4 The (C)Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

5 Then Yahweh saw that the evil of man was great on the earth, and that (D)every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 (E)And Yahweh regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was (F)grieved [d]in His heart. 7 And Yahweh said, “(G)I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the [e]sky; for (H)I regret that I have made them.” 8 But (I)Noah (J)found favor in the eyes of Yahweh.

The Generations of Noah

9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a (K)righteous man, [f](L)blameless among those in his generations; Noah (M)walked with God. 10 And Noah [g]became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11 Now the earth was (N)corrupt before God, and the earth was (O)filled with violence. 12 And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for (P)all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.

13 Then God said to Noah, “(Q)The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth. 14 Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; you shall make the ark with rooms, and you shall [h]cover it inside and out with pitch. 15 Now this is how you shall make it: the length of the ark [i]300 cubits, its breadth 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits. 16 You shall make a [j]window for the ark, and complete it to one [k]cubit from [l]the top; and set the door of the ark in the side of it; you shall make it with lower, second, and third decks. 17 As for Me, behold (R)I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall breathe its last. 18 But I will establish (S)My covenant with you; and (T)you shall enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. 19 (U)And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. 20 (V)Of the birds after their kind, and of the animals after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive. 21 As for you, take for yourself some of all (W)food which is edible, and gather it to yourself; and it shall be for food for you and for them.” 22 (X)Thus Noah did; according to all that God had commanded him, so he did.

Genesis 6
New International Version

Wickedness in the World

6 When human beings began to increase in number on the earth(A) and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God(B) saw that the daughters(C) of humans were beautiful,(D) and they married(E) any of them they chose. 3 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.”

4 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)

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

Noah and the Flood

9 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)

Genesis 6
Ang Pulong Sa Dios

Ang Pagkadaotan sa Tawo

6 Unya, midaghan ang mga tawo sa kalibotan, ug daghan silag mga anak nga babaye. 2 Nakita sa mga anak sa Dios[a] nga maanyag ang mga babaye. Busa gipangasawa nila si bisan kinsa nga ilang nagustohan. 3 Unya miingon ang Ginoo, “Dili ko tugotan nga mabuhi ang tawo[b] hangtod sa kahangtoran tungod kay tawo lang sila. Busa sukad karon magakinabuhi na lang sila ug dili mosobra sa 120 ka tuig.”

4 Niadtong panahona, ug bisan sa misunod pa nga mga panahon, adunay mga Nefilim[c] sa kalibotan. Mga kaliwat sila sa mga anak sa Dios nga nakighilawas sa maanyag nga mga babaye. Gamhanan ug bantogan sila.

5 Nakita sa Ginoo nga labihan kadaotan ang mga tawo sa kalibotan, ug kangil-ad ang anaa kanunay sa ilang mga hunahuna. 6 Naguol ang Ginoo nga gibuhat niya ang tawo ug nasubo siya pag-ayo. 7 Busa miingon siya, “Laglagon ko ang tanang mga tawo nga akong gibuhat, apil ang tanang mga mananap sa yuta ug ang mga mananap nga nagalupad, kay naguol ako nga gibuhat ko sila.” 8 Apan may usa ka tawo nga nakapahimuot sa Ginoo, siya mao si Noe.

Si Noe

9 Mao kini ang sugilanon mahitungod sa pamilya ni Noe.

Si Noe diosnon nga tawo. Siya lang ang nagakinabuhi nga matarong sa iyang panahon, ug suod ang iyang relasyon sa Dios. 10 May tulo siya ka anak nga lalaki nga sila si Shem, Ham, ug Jafet.

11 Sa panan-aw sa Dios, daotan gayod ang mga tawo ug nalukop ang kalibotan sa ilang kadaotan. 12 Nakita sa Dios nga daotan na gayod ang mga tawo sa kalibotan tungod kay labihan na gayod kangil-ad ang tanan nilang mga binuhatan. 13 Busa miingon siya kang Noe, “Laglagon ko ang tanang mga tawo. Kay tungod kanila, napuno sa kadaotan ang kalibotan. Laglagon ko sila uban niining kalibotana. 14 Busa Noe, pagbuhat ug arka gamit ang maayong klase sa kahoy, ug buhati kini ug mga kuwarto. Unya pahiri ug alkitran ang sulod ug gawas sa arka. 15 Buhata ang arka nga may gitas-on nga 450 ka piye,[d] ang iyang gilapdon 75 ka piye, ug ang iyang gihabugon 45 ka piye. 16 Atopi ang arka, ug inigbutang mo sa dingding, pagbilin ug 18 ka pulgada nga gintang gikan sa atop. Himoang tulo ka andana ang arka, ug butangi ug pultahan sa kilid. 17 Palunopan ko ang kalibotan aron malaglag ang tanan nga may kinabuhi. Mamatay ang tanan nga anaa sa kalibotan. 18 Apan magbuhat ako ug kasabotan kanimo. Mosulod ka sa arka uban ang imong asawa ug ang imong mga anak uban sa ilang mga asawa. 19-20 Pagpasulod usab ug tag-usa ka pares, lalaki ug babaye, sa matag matang sa mga mananap aron mabuhi sila uban kanimo. Moduol kanimo ang duha sa matag matang sa tanang mga mananap nga nagalupad, nagalakaw, ug nagakamang. 21 Pagdala usab sa tanang matang sa pagkaon alang kaninyo ug alang usab sa mga mananap.” 22 Ug gituman ni Noe ang tanan nga gisugo sa Dios kaniya.

Genesis 6
King James Version

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

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

3 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.

4 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.

5 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.

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

7 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.

8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

9 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.

The Wickedness and Judgment of Man

6 Now it came to pass, (A)when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they (B)took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.

3 And the Lord said, (C)“My Spirit shall not (D)strive[a] with man forever, (E)for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were [b]giants on the earth in those (F)days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

5 Then [c]the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every (G)intent[d] of the thoughts of his heart was only evil [e]continually. 6 And (H)the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and (I)He was grieved in His (J)heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will (K)destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah (L)found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

Noah Pleases God

9 This is the genealogy of Noah. (M)Noah was a just man, [f]perfect in his generations. Noah (N)walked with God. 10 And Noah begot three sons: (O)Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11 The earth also was corrupt (P)before God, and the earth was (Q)filled with violence. 12 So God (R)looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for (S)all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

The Ark Prepared(T)

13 And God said to Noah, (U)“The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; (V)and behold, (W)I will destroy them with the earth. 14 Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make [g]rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch. 15 And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred [h]cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. 16 You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks. 17 (X)And behold, I Myself am bringing (Y)floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall (Z)die. 18 But I will establish My (AA)covenant with you; and (AB)you shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. 19 And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring (AC)two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. 20 Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind (AD)will come to you to keep them alive. 21 And you shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them.”

22 (AE)Thus Noah did; (AF)according to all that (AG)God commanded him, so he did.
