| 1 | And after that men began to be multiplied upon the earth, and daughters were born to them, | Cumque coepissent homines multiplicari super terram, et filias procreassent, | Καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἤρξαντο οἱ ἄνθρωποι πολλοὶ γίνεσθαι ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ θυγατέρες ἐγεννήθησαν αὐτοῖς. |
| 2 | The sons of God seeing the daughters of men, that they were fair, took to themselves wives of all which they chose. | videntes filii Dei filias hominum quod essent pulchrae, acceperunt sibi uxores ex omnibus, quas elegerant. | Ἰδόντες δὲ υἱοὶ τοῦ Θεοῦ τὰς θυγατέρας τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὅτι καλαί εἰσιν, ἔλαβον ἑαυτοῖς γυναῖκας ἀπὸ πασῶν, ὧν ἐξελέξαντο. |
| 3 | And God said: My spirit shall not remain in man for ever, because he is flesh, and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years. | Dixitque Deus: Non permanebit spiritus meus in homine in aeternum, quia caro est: eruntque dies illius centum viginti annorum. | Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς, οὐ μὴ καταμείνῃ τὸ πνεῦμά μου ἐν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τούτοις εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, διὰ τὸ εἶναι αὐτοὺς σάρκας· ἔσονται δὲ αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτῶν, ἑκατὸν εἴκοσιν ἔτη. |
| 4 | Now giants were upon the earth in those days. For after the sons of God went in to the daughters of men, and they brought forth children, these are the mighty men of old, men of renown. | Gigantes autem erant super terram in diebus illis: postquam enim ingressi sunt filii Dei ad filias hominum, illaeque genuerunt, isti sunt potentes a saeculo viri famosi. | Οἱ δὲ γίγαντες ἦσαν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις, καὶ μετʼ ἐκεῖνο, ὡς ἂν εἰσεπορεύοντο οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ Θεοῦ πρὸς τὰς θυγατέρας τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ ἐγεννῶσαν αὐτοῖς· ἐκεῖνοι ἦσαν οἱ γίγαντες οἱ ἀπʼ αἰῶνος, οἱ ἄνθρωποι οἱ ὀνομαστοί. |
| 5 | And God seeing that the wickedness of men was great on the earth, and that all the thought of their heart was bent upon evil at all times, | Videns autem Deus quod multa malitia hominum esset in terra, et cuncta cogitatio cordis intenta esset ad malum omni tempore, | Ἰδὼν δὲ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς, ὅτι ἐπληθύνθησαν αἱ κακίαι τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ πᾶς τις διανοεῖται ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἐπιμελῶς ἐπὶ τὰ πονηρὰ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας· |
| 6 | It repented him that he had made man on the earth. And being touched inwardly with sorrow of heart, | poenituit eum quod hominum fecisset in terra. Et tactus dolore cordis intrinsecus, | Καὶ ἐνεθυμήθη ὁ Θεὸς, ὅτι ἐποίησε τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ διενοήθη. |
| 7 | He said: I will destroy man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, from man even to beasts, from the creeping thing even to the fowls of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them. | Delebo, inquit, hominem, quem creavi, a facie terrae, ab homine usque ad animantia, a reptili usque ad volucres caeli: poenitet enim me fecisse eos. | Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Θεὸς, ἀπαλείψω τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ὃν ἐποίησα, ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς γῆς, ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους, καὶ ἀπὸ ἑρπετῶν ἕως πετεινῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· ὅτι ἐνεθυμήθην, ὅτι ἐποίησα αὐτούς. |
| 8 | But Noe found grace before the Lord. | Noë vero invenit gratiam coram Domino. | Νῶε δὲ εὗρε χάριν ἐναντίον Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ. |
| 9 | These are the generations of Noe: Noe was a just and perfect man in his generations, he walked with God. | Hae sunt generationes Noë: Noë vir iustus atque perfectus fuit in generationibus suis; cum Deo ambulavit. | Αὗται δὲ αἱ γενέσεις Νῶε. Νῶε ἄνθρωπος δίκαιος, τέλειος ὢν ἐν τῇ γενεᾷ αὐτοῦ, τῷ Θεῷ εὐηρέστησε Νῶε. |
| 10 | And he begot three sons, Sem, Cham, and Japheth. | Et genuit tres filios, Sem, Cham et Iapheth. | Ἐγέννησε δὲ Νῶε τρεῖς υἱοὺς, τὸν Σὴμ, τὸν Χὰμ, τὸν Ἰάφεθ. |
| 11 | And the earth was corrupted before God, and was filled with iniquity. | Corrupta est autem terra coram Deo, et repleta est iniquitate. | Ἐφθάρη δὲ ἡ γῆ ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἐπλήσθη ἡ γῆ ἀδικίας. |
| 12 | And when God had seen that the earth was corrupted (for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth,) | Cumque vidisset Deus terram esse corruptam (omnis quippe caro corruperat viam suam super terram), | Καὶ εἶδε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἦν κατεφθαρμένη· ὅτι κατέφθειρε πᾶσα σὰρξ τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. |
| 13 | He said to Noe: The end of all flesh is come before me, the earth is filled with iniquity through them, and I will destroy them with the earth. | dixit ad Noë: Finis universae carnis venit coram me: repleta est terra iniquitate a facie eorum, et ego disperdam eos cum terra. | Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Νῶε, καιρὸς παντὸς ἀνθρώπου ἥκει ἐναντίον μου, ὅτι ἐπλήσθη ἡ γῆ ἀδικίας ἀπʼ αὐτῶν· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ καταφθείρω αὐτοὺς καὶ τὴν γῆν. |
| 14 | Make thee an ark of timber planks: thou shalt make little rooms in the ark, and thou shalt pitch it within and without. | Fac tibi arcam de lignis laevigatis; mansiunculas in arca facies, et bitumine linies intrinsecus et extrinsecus. | Ποίησον οὖν σεαυτῷ κιβωτὸν ἐκ ξύλων τετραγώνων· νοσσιὰς ποιήσεις τὴν κιβωτόν· καὶ ἀσφαλτώσεις αὐτὴν ἔσωθεν καὶ ἔξωθεν τῇ ἀσφάλτῳ. |
| 15 | And thus shalt thou make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits: the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. | Et sic facies eam: trecentorum cubitorum erit longitudo arcae, quinquaginta cubitorum latitudo, et triginta cubitorum altitudo illius. | Καὶ οὕτω ποιήσεις τὴν κιβωτόν· τριακοσίων πήχεων τὸ μῆκος τῆς κιβωτοῦ, καὶ πεντήκοντα πήχεων τὸ πλάτος, καὶ τριάκοντα πήχεων τὸ ὕψος αὐτῆς. |
| 16 | Thou shalt make a window in the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish the top of it: and the door of the ark thou shalt set in the side: with lower, middle chambers, and third stories shalt thou make it. | Fenestram in arca facies, et in cubito consummabis summitatem eius: ostium autem arcae pones ex latere; deorsum, coenacula et tristega facies in ea. | Ἐπισυνάγων ποιήσεις τὴν κιβωτὸν, καὶ εἰς πῆχυν συντελέσεις αὐτὴν ἄνωθεν· τὴν δὲ θύραν τῆς κιβωτοῦ ποιήσεις ἐκ πλαγίων· κατάγαια διώροφα καὶ τριώροφα ποιήσεις αὐτήν. |
| 17 | Behold I will bring the waters of a great flood upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, under heaven. All things that are in the earth shall be consumed. | Ecce ego adducam aquas diluvii super terram, ut interficiam omnem carnem, in qua spiritus vitae est subter caelum: universa quae in terra sunt, consumentur. | Ἐγὼ δὲ ἰδοὺ ἐπάγω τὸν κατακλυσμὸν, ὕδωρ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καταφθεῖραι πᾶσαν σάρκα, ἐν ᾗ ἐστι πνεῦμα ζωῆς ὑποκάτω τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· καὶ ὅσα ἂν ᾖ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, τελευτήσει. |
| 18 | And I will establish my covenant with thee, and thou shalt enter into the ark, thou and thy sons, and thy wife, and the wives of thy sons with thee. | Ponamque foedus meum tecum: et ingredieris arcam tu et filii tui, uxor tua, et uxores filiorum tuorum tecum. | Καὶ στήσω τὴν διαθήκην μου μετά σου· εἰσελεύσῃ δὲ εἰς τὴν κιβωτὸν σὺ, καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου, καὶ ἡ γυνή σου, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες τῶν υἱῶν σου μετά σου. |
| 19 | And of every living creature of all flesh, thou shalt bring two of a sort into the ark, that they may live with thee: of the male sex, and the female. | Et ex cunctis animantibus universae carnis bina induces in arcam, ut vivant tecum: masculini sexus et feminini. | Καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν κτηνῶν, καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἑρπετῶν, καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν θηρίων, καὶ ἀπὸ πάσης σαρκὸς δύο δύο ἀπὸ πάντων εἰσάξεις εἰς τὴν κιβωτὸν, ἵνα τρέφῃς μετὰ σεαυτοῦ· ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ ἔσονται. |
| 20 | Of fowls according to their kind, and of beasts in their kind, and of every thing that creepeth on the earth according to its kind; two of every sort shall go in with thee, that they may live. | De volucribus iuxta genus suum, et de iumentis in genere suo, et ex omni reptili terrae secundum genus suum: bina de omnibus ingredientur tecum, ut possint vivere. | Ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ὀρνέων τῶν πετεινῶν κατὰ γένος, καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν κτηνῶν κατὰ γένος, καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἑρπετῶν τῶν ἑρπόντων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς κατὰ γένος αὐτῶν, δύο δύο ἀπὸ πάντων εἰσελεύσονται πρὸς σὲ τρέφεσθαι μετά σου, ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ. |
| 21 | Thou shalt take unto thee of all food that may be eaten, and thou shalt lay it up with thee: and it shall be food for thee and them. | Tolles igitur tecum ex omnibus escis, quae mandi possunt, et comportabis apud te: et erunt tam tibi, quam illis in cibum. | Σὺ δὲ λήψῃ σεαυτῷ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν βρωμάτων ἃ ἔδεσθε, καὶ συνάξεις πρὸς σεαυτὸν, καὶ ἔσται σοι καὶ ἐκείνοις φαγεῖν. |
| 22 | And Noe did all things which God commanded him. | Fecit igitur Noë omnia quae praeceperat illi Deus. | Καὶ ἐποίησε Νῶε πάντα ὅσα ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς, οὕτως ἐποίησε. |
