1 人在地上开始增多， 又生养女儿的时候，

2 神的众子看见人的女子美丽， 就随意挑选， 娶作妻子。

3 耶和华说： "人既然是属肉体的， 我的灵就不永远住在他里面， 但他的日子还有一百二十年。"

4 在那些日子， 有巨人在地上； 神的儿子和人的女子结合， 就生了上古英武有名的人物。

5 耶和华看见人在地上的罪恶很大， 终日心里思念的， 尽都是邪恶的。

6 于是， 耶和华后悔造人在地上， 心中忧伤。

7 耶和华说： "我要把我创造的人， 从地上消灭； 无论是人或牲畜， 是昆虫或是天空的飞鸟， 我都要消灭， 因为我后悔造了他们。"

8 只有挪亚在耶和华眼前蒙恩。

9 以下是挪亚的后代。挪亚是个义人， 是当时一个完全人。挪亚和 神同行。

1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the ground, 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 that they chose. 3 And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not strive with man for ever, for that he also is flesh: yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years. 4 The Nephilim were 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 were the mighty men that were of old, the men of renown.

5 And Jehovah 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 Jehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7 And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground; both man, and beast, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.

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