1 And after a time, when men were increasing on the earth, and had daughters,
2 The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took wives for themselves from those who were pleasing to them.
3 And the Lord said, My spirit will not be in man for ever, for he is only flesh; so the days of his life will be a hundred and twenty years.
4 There were men of great strength and size on the earth in those days; and after that, when the sons of God had connection with the daughters of men, they gave birth to children: these were the great men of old days, the men of great name.
5 And the Lord saw that the sin of man was great on the earth, and that all the thoughts of his heart were evil.
6 And the Lord had sorrow because he had made man on the earth, and grief was in his heart.
7 And the Lord said, I will take away man, whom I have made, from the face of the earth, even man and beast and that which goes on the earth and every bird of the air; for I have sorrow for having made them.
8 But Noah had grace in the eyes of God.
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was an upright man and without sin in his generation: he went in the ways of God.
10 And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 And the earth was evil in God's eyes and full of violent ways.
12 And God, looking on the earth, saw that it was evil: for the way of all flesh had become evil on the earth.
13 And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come; the earth is full of their violent doings, and now I will put an end to them with the earth.
14 Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood with rooms in it, and make it safe from the water inside and out.
15 And this is the way you are to make it: it is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.
16 You are to put a window in the ark, a cubit from the roof, and a door in the side of it, and you are to make it with a lower and second and third floors.
17 For truly, I will send a great flow of waters over the earth, for the destruction from under the heaven of all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything on the earth will come to an end.
18 But with you I will make an agreement; and you will come into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.
19 And you will take with you into the ark two of every sort of living thing, and keep them safe with you; they will be male and female.
20 Two of every sort of bird and cattle and of every sort of living thing which goes on the earth will you take with you to keep them from destruction.
21 And make a store of every sort of food for yourself and them.
22 And all these things Noah did; as God said, so he did.
1 Na ka timata te tangata te tini haere ki runga ki te mata o te whenua, a ka whanau a ratou tamahine,
2 Ka kite nga tama a te Atua i nga tamahine a te tangata, he ataahua; na ka tango ratou i a ratou i pai ai o ratou katoa, hei wahine ma ratou.
3 Na ka mea a Ihowa, E kore toku wairua e whakawa tonu i te tangata, he kikokiko nei ano hoki ia: na kia kotahi rau kia rua tekau tau ona ra.
4 He roroa nga tangata o te whenua i aua ra, a i muri iho, i te haerenga o nga tama a te Atua ki nga tamahine a te tangata, a ka whanau a ratou tamariki, ko ratou nga marohirohi o mua, he tangata whai ingoa.
5 A ka kite te Atua he nui te kino o te tangata i runga i te whenua, he kino hoki nga tokonga ake o nga whakaaro katoa o tona ngakau i nga wa katoa.
6 Na ka puta ke te whakaaro o Ihowa i hanga ai e ia te tangata ki runga ki te whenua, a ka pouri tona ngakau.
7 Na ka mea a Ihowa, Ka whakangaromia atu e ahau i te mata o te whenua te tangata i hanga nei e ahau; te tangata, te kirehe, te mea ngokingoki, me nga manu o te rangi; kua puta ke hoki toku whakaaro i hanga ai ratou e ahau.
8 Ko Noa ia i manakohia e Ihowa.
9 Ko nga whakatupuranga enei o Noa: ko Noa he tangata tika, he ngakau tapatahi i ona whakatupuranga: i haereere tahi a Noa i te Atua.
10 A whanau ake nga tama a Noa tokotoru, ko Hema, ko Hama, ko Iapeta.
11 Na kua kino te whenua i te aroaro o Ihowa, kua ki katoa hoki te whenua i te tutu.
12 Na ka titiro te Atua ki te whenua, kua kino; kua he hoki te ara o nga kikokiko katoa o runga o te whenua.
13 Na ka mea te Atua ki a Noa, Kua tae mai ki toku aroaro te mutunga o nga kikokiko katoa; no te mea kua ki i a ratou te whenua i te tutu; na, ka whakangaromia ratou tahi ko te whenua e ahau.
14 Hanga e koe tetahi aaka mou ki te rakau kopera; me hanga e koe etahi ruma ki roto i te aaka, ka pani ai i roto, i waho, ki te ware.
15 Na kia penei tau hanga i taua mea: Kia toru rau whatianga te roa o te aaka, kia rima tekau whatianga te whanui, ko te teitei kia toru tekau whatianga.
16 Me hanga e koe he matapihi mo te aaka, kia kotahi te whatianga ki raro iho i te tuanui, e whakaotia ai e koe; a ko te tatau o te aaka me whakanoho e koe ki tona taha; ka mea ai koe he papanga ruma, to raro, te tuarua, me te tuatoru.
17 Na ko ahau, tenei ahau te tuku atu nei i te waipuke ki runga ki te whenua, hei whakangaro i nga kikokiko katoa e whai manawa ora ana i raro i te rangi; a ka mate nga mea katoa i runga i te whenua.
18 Otiia ka whakamana e ahau taku kawenata ki a koe; me haere koe ki roto ki te aaka, koutou tahi ko au tama, ko tau wahine, ko nga wahine ano hoki a au tama.
19 Me mau e koe ki roto ki te aaka etahi o nga mea ora katoa o nga kikokiko katoa, kia rua o ia ahua, o ia ahua, kia ora tahi ai me koe; he te toa, hei te uha.
20 Ko etahi o nga manu o ia ahua, o ia ahua, o nga kararehe hoki o ia ahua, o ia ahua, o nga mea ngokingoki katoa o te whenua o ia ahua, o ia ahua kia tatakirua o te katoa e haere ki a koe, kia ora ai.
21 Tangohia mai hoki mau etahi o nga kai katoa e kainga ana, me amene mai ki a koe; a hei ka tena mau, ma ratou hoki.
22 Na ka meatia e Noa; rite tonu ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua mai e te Atua ki a ia tana i mea ai.
