SAGRADA BIBLIACATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Quando os homens começaram a multiplicar-se sobre a terra, e lhes nasceram filhas,1 And when men began to be multiplied upon the earth, and daughters were born to them,
2 os filhos de Deus viram que as filhas dos homens eram belas, e escolheram esposas entre elas.2 the sons of God, seeing that the daughters of men were beautiful, took to themselves wives from all whom they chose.
3 O senhor então disse: "Meu espírito não permanecerá para sempre no homem, porque todo ele é carne, e a duração de sua vida será de cento e vinte anos."3 And God said: “My spirit shall not remain in man forever, because he is flesh. And so his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”
4 Naquele tempo viviam gigantes na terra, como também daí por diante, quando os filhos de Deus se uniam às filhas dos homens e elas geravam filhos. Estes são os heróis, tão afamados nos tempos antigos.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 conceived, these became the powerful ones of ancient times, men of renown.
5 O Senhor viu que a maldade dos homens era grande na terra, e que todos os pensamentos de seu coração estavam continuamente voltados para o mal.5 Then God, seeing that the wickedness of men was great upon the earth and that every thought of their heart was intent upon evil at all times,
6 O Senhor arrependeu-se de ter criado o homem na terra, e teve o coração ferido de íntima dor.6 repented that he had made man on the earth. And being touched inwardly with a sorrow of heart,
7 E disse: "Exterminarei da superfície da terra o homem que criei, e com ele os animais, os répteis e as aves dos céus, porque eu me arrependo de os haver criado."7 he said, “I will eliminate man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, from man to other living things, from animals even to the flying things of the air. For it grieves me that I have made them.”
8 Noé, entretanto, encontrou graça aos olhos do Senhor.8 Yet truly, Noah found grace before the Lord.
9 Esta é a história de Noé. Noé era um homem justo e perfeito no meio dos homens de sua geração. Ele andava com Deus.9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a just man, and yet he was predominate among his generations, for he walked with God.
10 Noé teve três filhos: Sem, Cam e Jafet.10 And he conceived three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 A terra corrompia-se diante de Deus e enchia-se de violência.11 Yet the earth was corrupted before the eyes of God, and it was filled with iniquity.
12 Deus olhou para a terra e viu que ela estava corrompida: toda a criatura seguia na terra o caminho da corrupção.12 And when God had seen that the earth had been corrupted, (indeed, all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth)
13 Então Deus disse a Noé: "Eis chegado o fim de toda a criatura diante de mim, pois eles encheram a terra de violência. Vou exterminá-los juntamente com a terra.13 he said to Noah: “The end of all flesh has arrived in my sight. The earth has been filled with iniquity by their presence, and I will destroy them, along with the earth.
14 Faze para ti uma arca de madeira resinosa: dividi-la-ás em compartimentos e a untarás de betume por dentro e por fora.14 Make yourself an ark from smoothed wood. You shall make little dwelling places in the ark, and you shall smear pitch on the interior and exterior.
15 E eis como a farás: seu comprimento será de trezentos côvados, sua largura de cinqüenta côvados, e sua altura de trinta.15 And thus shall you make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
16 Farás no cimo da arca uma abertura com a dimensão dum côvado. Porás a porta da arca a um lado, e construirás três andares de compartimentos.16 You shall make a window in the ark, and you shall complete it within a cubit of the top. Then you shall set the door of the ark at its side. You shall make in it: a lower part, upper rooms, and a third level.
17 Eis que vou fazer cair o dilúvio sobre a terra, uma inundação que exterminará todo ser que tenha sopro de vida debaixo do céu. Tudo que está sobre a terra morrerá.17 Behold, I shall bring the waters of a great flood upon the earth, so as to put to death all flesh in which there is the breath of life under heaven. All things that are on the earth shall be consumed.
18 Mas farei aliança contigo: entrarás na arca com teus filhos, tua mulher e as mulheres de teus filhos.18 And I shall establish my covenant with you, and you shall enter the ark, you and your sons, your wife and the wives of your sons with you.
19 De tudo o que vive, de cada espécie de animais, farás entrar na arca dois, macho e fêmea, para que vivam contigo.19 And from every living thing of all that is flesh, you shall lead pairs into the ark, so that they may survive with you: from the male sex and the female,
20 De cada espécie de aves, e de cada espécie de quadrúpedes, e de cada espécie de animais que se arrastam sobre a terra, entrará um casal contigo, para que lhes possas conservar a vida.20 from birds, according to their kind, and from beasts, in their kind, and from among all animals on earth, according to their kind; pairs from each shall enter with you, so that they may be able to live.
21 Tomarás também contigo de todas as coisas para comer, e armazená-las-ás para que te sirvam de alimento, a ti e aos animais."21 Therefore, you shall take with you from all the foods that are able to be eaten, and you shall carry these with you. And these shall be used as food, some for you, and the rest for them.”
22 Noé obedeceu, e fez tudo o que o Senhor lhe tinha ordenado.22 And so Noah did all things just as God had instructed him.
