¹

And it came to pass when men began to be numerous upon the earth, and daughters were born to them,

¹

И бы́сть єгда́ нача́ша человѣ́цы мно́зи быва́ти на земли́, и дще́ри роди́шася и́мъ:

²

that the sons of God having seen the daughters of men that they were beautiful, took to themselves wives of all whom they chose.

²

ви́дѣвше же сы́нове Бо́жіи дще́ри человѣ́чи, я́ко добры́ су́ть, поя́ша себѣ́ жены́ от всѣ́хъ, я́же избра́ша.

³

And the Lord God said, My Spirit shall certainly not remain among these men for ever, because they are flesh, but their days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

³

И рече́ Госпо́дь Бо́гъ: не и́мать Ду́хъ Мо́й пребыва́ти въ человѣ́цѣхъ си́хъ во вѣ́къ, зане́ су́ть пло́ть: бу́дутъ же дні́є и́хъ лѣ́тъ сто́ два́десять.

⁴

Now the giants were upon the earth in those days; and after that when the sons of God were wont to go in to the daughters of men, they bore children to them, those were the giants of old, the men of renown.

⁴

Исполи́ни же бя́ху на земли́ во дни́ о́ны: и пото́мъ, єгда́ вхожда́ху сы́нове Бо́жіи къ дще́ремъ человѣ́ческимъ, и ражда́ху себѣ́: ті́и бя́ху исполи́ни, и́же от вѣ́ка, человѣ́цы имени́тіи.

⁵

And the Lord God having seen that the wicked actions of men were multiplied upon the earth, and that every one in his heart was intently brooding over evil continually,

⁵

Ви́дѣвъ же Госпо́дь Бо́гъ, я́ко умно́жишася зло́бы человѣ́ковъ на земли́: и вся́къ помышля́єтъ въ се́рдцы своє́мъ прилѣ́жно на зла́я во вся́ дни́:

⁶

then God laid it to heart that he had made man upon the earth, and he pondered it deeply.

⁶

и помы́сли Бо́гъ, я́ко сотвори́ человѣ́ка на земли́, и размы́сли.

⁷

And God said, I will blot out man whom I have made from the face of the earth, even man with cattle, and reptiles with flying creatures of the sky, for I am grieved that I have made them.

⁷

И рече́ Бо́гъ: потреблю́ человѣ́ка, єго́же сотвори́хъ, от лица́ земли́, от человѣ́ка да́же до скота́, и от га́дъ да́же до пти́цъ небе́сныхъ: зане́ размы́слихъ, я́ко сотвори́хъ я́.

⁸

But Noe found grace before the Lord God.

⁸

Но́є же обрѣ́те благода́ть предъ Го́сподемъ Бо́гомъ.

⁹

And these are the generations of Noe. Noe was a just man; being perfect in his generation, Noe was well-pleasing to God.

⁹

Сія́ же бытія́ Но́єва: Но́є человѣ́къ пра́веденъ, соверше́нъ сы́й въ ро́дѣ своє́мъ, Бо́гу угоди́ Но́є.

¹⁰

And Noe begot three sons, Sem, Cham, Japheth.

¹⁰

Роди́ же Но́є три́ сы́ны, Си́ма, Ха́ма, Іа́феѳа.

¹¹

But the earth was corrupted before God, and the earth was filled with iniquity.

¹¹

Растлѣ́ся же земля́ предъ Бо́гомъ, и напо́лнися земля́ непра́вды.

¹²

And the Lord God saw the earth, and it was corrupted; because all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth.

¹²

И ви́дѣ Госпо́дь Бо́гъ зе́млю, и бѣ́ растлѣ́нна: я́ко растли́ вся́ка пло́ть пу́ть сво́й на земли́.

¹³

And the Lord God said to Noe, A period of all men is come before me; because the earth has been filled with iniquity by them, and, behold, I destroy them and the earth.

¹³

И рече́ Госпо́дь Бо́гъ Но́ю: вре́мя вся́каго человѣ́ка пріи́де предъ Мя́, я́ко испо́лнися земля́ непра́вды от ни́хъ: и се́, А́зъ погублю́ и́хъ и зе́млю.

¹⁴

Make therefore for thyself an ark of square timber; thou shalt make the ark in compartments, and thou shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

¹⁴

Сотвори́ у́бо себѣ́ ковче́гъ от дре́въ [негнію́щихъ] четвероуго́лныхъ: гнѣ́зда сотвори́ши въ ковче́зѣ, и посмоли́ши єго́ внутрьу́ду и внѣу́ду смоло́ю.

¹⁵

And thus shalt thou make the ark; three hundred cubits the length of the ark, and fifty cubits the breadth, and thirty cubits the height of it.

¹⁵

И та́ко сотвори́ши ковче́гъ: тре́хъ со́тъ лакте́й долгота́ ковче́га, и пяти́десяти лакте́й широта́, и три́десяти лакте́й высота́ єго́.

¹⁶

Thou shalt narrow the ark in making it, and in a cubit above thou shalt finish it, and the door of the ark thou shalt make on the side; with lower, second, and third stories thou shalt make it.

¹⁶

Собира́я сво́домъ сотвори́ши ковче́гъ, и въ ла́коть сверши́ши єго́ свы́ше: две́рь же ковче́га сотвори́ши от страны́: обита́лища двокро́вна и трекро́вна сотвори́ши въ не́мъ.

¹⁷

And behold I bring a flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven, and whatsoever things are upon the earth shall die.

¹⁷

А́зъ же, се́, наведу́ пото́пъ, во́ду на зе́млю, погуби́ти вся́ку пло́ть, въ не́йже є́сть ду́хъ жи́зни подъ небесе́мъ: и єли́ка су́ть на земли́, сконча́ются.

¹⁸

And I will establish my covenant with thee, and thou shalt enter into the ark, and thy sons and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.

¹⁸

И поста́влю завѣ́тъ Мо́й съ тобо́ю: вни́деши же въ ковче́гъ ты́ и сы́нове твои́, и жена́ твоя́ и жены́ сыно́въ твои́хъ съ тобо́ю.

¹⁹

And of all cattle and of all reptiles and of all wild beasts, even of all flesh, thou shalt bring by pairs of all, into the ark, that thou mayest feed them with thyself: male and female they shall be.

¹⁹

И от всѣ́хъ ското́въ и от всѣ́хъ га́дъ, и от всѣ́хъ звѣре́й, и от вся́кія пло́ти, два́ два́ от всѣ́хъ введе́ши въ ковче́гъ, да пита́єши съ собо́ю: му́жескій по́лъ и же́нскій бу́дутъ.

²⁰

Of all winged birds after their kind, and of all cattle after their kind, and of all reptiles creeping upon the earth after their kind, pairs of all shall come in to thee, male and female to be fed with thee.

²⁰

От всѣ́хъ пти́цъ перна́тыхъ по ро́ду, и от всѣ́хъ ското́въ по ро́ду, и от всѣ́хъ гадо́въ по́лзающихъ по земли́ по ро́ду и́хъ, два́ два́ от всѣ́хъ вни́дутъ къ тебѣ́, пита́тися съ тобо́ю, му́жескій по́лъ и же́нскій.

²¹

And thou shalt take to thyself of all kinds of food which ye eat, and thou shalt gather them to thyself, and it shall be for thee and them to eat.

²¹

Ты́ же возми́ себѣ́ от всѣ́хъ бра́шенъ, я́же и́мате я́сти, и собере́ши къ себѣ́, и бу́дутъ тебѣ́ и о́нымъ бра́шно.

²²

And Noe did all things whatever the Lord God commanded him, so did he.

²²

И сотвори́ Но́є вся́ єли́ка заповѣ́да єму́ Госпо́дь Бо́гъ, та́ко сотвори́.
