The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
1 cumque coepissent homines multiplicari super terram et filias procreassent
1
When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them,
2 videntes filii Dei filias eorum quod essent pulchrae acceperunt uxores sibi ex omnibus quas elegerant
2
the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.
3 dixitque Deus non permanebit spiritus meus in homine in aeternum quia caro est eruntque dies illius centum viginti annorum
3
Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal ; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”
4 gigantes autem erant super terram in diebus illis postquam enim ingressi sunt filii Dei ad filias hominum illaeque genuerunt isti sunt potentes a saeculo viri 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 videns autem Deus quod multa malitia hominum esset in terra et cuncta cogitatio cordis intenta esset ad malum omni tempore
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 paenituit eum quod hominem fecisset in terra et tactus dolore cordis intrinsecus
6
The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled.
7 delebo inquit hominem quem creavi a facie terrae ab homine usque ad animantia a reptili usque ad volucres caeli paenitet enim me fecisse eos
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 Noe vero invenit gratiam coram Domino
8
But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.
9 hae generationes Noe Noe vir iustus atque perfectus fuit in generationibus suis cum Deo ambulavit
9
This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God.
10 et genuit tres filios Sem Ham et Iafeth
10
Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.
11 corrupta est autem terra coram Deo et repleta est iniquitate
11
Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence.
12 cumque vidisset Deus terram esse corruptam omnis quippe caro corruperat viam suam super terram
12
God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.
13 dixit ad Noe finis universae carnis venit coram me repleta est terra iniquitate a facie eorum et ego disperdam eos cum 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.
14 fac tibi arcam de lignis levigatis mansiunculas in arca facies et bitumine linies intrinsecus et extrinsecus
14
So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.
15 et sic facies eam trecentorum cubitorum erit longitudo arcae quinquaginta cubitorum latitudo et triginta cubitorum altitudo illius
15
This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.
16 fenestram in arca facies et in cubito consummabis summitatem ostium autem arcae pones ex latere deorsum cenacula et tristega facies in ea
16
Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit high all around. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks.
17 ecce ego adducam diluvii aquas super terram ut interficiam omnem carnem in qua spiritus vitae est subter caelum universa quae in terra sunt consumentur
17
I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.
18 ponamque foedus meum tecum et ingredieris arcam tu et filii tui uxor tua et uxores filiorum tuorum tecum
18
But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.
19 et ex cunctis animantibus universae carnis bina induces in arcam ut vivant tecum masculini sexus et feminini
19
You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you.
20 de volucribus iuxta genus suum et de iumentis in genere suo et ex omni reptili terrae secundum genus suum bina de omnibus ingredientur tecum ut possint vivere
20
Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.
21 tolles igitur tecum ex omnibus escis quae mandi possunt et conportabis apud te et erunt tam tibi quam illis in cibum
21
You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.”
22 fecit ergo Noe omnia quae praeceperat illi Deus
22
Noah did everything just as God commanded him.
