1 As pessoas começaram a multiplicar-se na terra. Então, seres do mundo dos espíritos repararam na beleza das mulheres terrenas, e tomaram para si as que quiseram.
3 E o Senhor disse: O meu Espírito não continuará a ser desonrado pelo homem, visto que é todo ele mau. Dou-lhe 120 anos de vida.
4 Naqueles dias, e mesmo depois, em que aqueles seres do mundo dos espíritos tiveram relações com as mulheres da terra, os filhos que lhes nasceram tornaram-se gigantes, que foram os heróis de grande fama de que nos falam os relatos da antiguidade.
5 E o Senhor viu que a maldade humana se tinha estendido multiplicadamente, e que a imaginação e os pensamentos dos seres humanos os levavam unicamente para o mal. Então teve pena de os ter criado.
7 Tirarei da face da Terra tudo o que tem vida, desde o homem até aos próprios animais, inclusive répteis, aves, tudo. Porque estou bem triste de os ter feito.
8 Noé, contudo, dava prazer ao Senhor com a sua vida.
9 Esta é a história da vida de Noé: Era o único que vivia com justiça e rectidão na terra naquele tempo. Conduzia a sua vida sempre de acordo com a vontade de Deus. E tinha três filhos: Sem, Cam e Jafete.
1 And it came to pass when men had begun to multiply on the face of the ground and daughters had been born to them,
2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men! that they were, fair,so they took to themselves wives of whomsoever they chose,
3 And Yahweh saidMy spirit shall not rule in man to times ageabiding, for that, he also, is flesh,Yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
4 The giants, were in the each in these days, and also, after that, when the sons of God began to go in unto the daughters of men, and sons were born to them, the same, were the heroes that were from age-past times the men of renown.
5 Then Yahweh saw that great, was the wickedness of man in the earth, and that, every purpose of the devices of his heart, was only wicked all the day;
6 and it grieved Yahweh, that he had made man in the earth,and he took sorrow unto his heart.
7 And Yahweh saidI must wipe off man whom I created from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast unto creeping thing, and unto the bird of the heavens,for I am grieved that I made them.
8 But, Noah, had found favour in the eyes, of Yahweh.
9 These, are the generations of Noah, Noah, was, a righteous man blameless, in his generations,with God, did Noah walk.
