New International Version NIV
4 In quel tempo c’erano sulla terra i giganti, e ci furono anche di poi, quando i figliuoli di Dio si accostarono alle figliuole degli uomini, e queste fecero loro de’ figliuoli. Essi sono gli uomini potenti che, fin dai tempi antichi, sono stati famosi.
4
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
5 E l’Eterno vide che la malvagità degli uomini era grande sulla terra, e che tutti i disegni dei pensieri del loro cuore non erano altro che male in ogni tempo.
5
The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.
6 E l’Eterno si pentì d’aver fatto l’uomo sulla terra, e se ne addolorò in cuor suo.
6
The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled.
7 E l’Eterno disse: "Io sterminerò di sulla faccia della terra l’uomo che ho creato: dall’uomo al bestiame, ai rettili, agli uccelli dei cieli; perché mi pento d’averli fatti".
7
So the LORD said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.”
8 Ma Noè trovò grazia agli occhi dell’Eterno.

But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.
9 Questa è la posterità di Noè. Noè fu uomo giusto, integro, ai suoi tempi; Noè camminò con Dio.

12
God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.
13 E Dio disse a Noè: "Nei miei decreti, la fine d’ogni carne è giunta; poiché la terra, per opera degli uomini, è piena di violenza; ecco, io li distruggerò, insieme con la terra.
13
So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.
