1 Cuando los seres humanos comenzaron a multiplicarse sobre la tierra y tuvieron hijas,
1 When men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were born to them,
2 los hijos de Dios vieron que las hijas de los hombres eran hermosas y tomaron como esposas a las que quisieron.
2 God’s sons saw that men’s daughters were beautiful, and they took any that they wanted for themselves as wives.
3 Entonces el Señor dijo: «Mi Espíritu no permanecerá para siempre en el ser humano, porque es carne. Sus días serán ciento veinte años».
3 Yahweh said, “My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; so his days will be one hundred twenty years.”
4 En aquellos días había en la tierra hombres de gran fuerza y tamaño. También los hubo después, cuando los hijos de Dios tuvieron relaciones con las hijas de los hombres y ellas tuvieron hijos. Estos fueron los grandes hombres de la antigüedad, hombres famosos.
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also after that, when God’s sons came in to men’s daughters and had children with them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
5 El Señor vio que la maldad del ser humano era grande en la tierra y que todos los pensamientos de su corazón eran siempre malos.
5 Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil.
6 El Señor lamentó haber hecho al ser humano sobre la tierra, y sintió un gran dolor en su corazón.
6 Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.
7 Entonces el Señor dijo: «Borraré de la faz de la tierra al ser humano que he creado, junto con los animales, los que se arrastran por la tierra y las aves del cielo, porque lamento haberlos hecho».
7 Yahweh said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground—man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky—for I am sorry that I have made them.”
8 Pero Noé encontró favor ante Dios.
8 But Noah found favor in Yahweh’s eyes.
9 Esta es la historia de Noé. Noé era un hombre justo e intachable entre la gente de su tiempo, y caminaba con Dios.
9 This is the history of the generations of Noah: Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
10 Noé tuvo tres hijos: Sem, Cam y Jafet.
10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 La tierra estaba corrompida ante Dios y llena de violencia.
11 The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 Dios miró la tierra y vio que estaba corrompida, porque todos los seres humanos habían corrompido su manera de vivir.
12 God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
13 Entonces Dios dijo a Noé: «He decidido poner fin a todos los seres humanos, porque por causa de ellos la tierra está llena de violencia. Voy a destruirlos junto con la tierra.
13 God said to Noah, “I will bring an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them and the earth.
14 Hazte un arca de madera de gofer. Haz compartimentos dentro de ella y cúbrela con brea por dentro y por fuera.
14 Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.
15 Hazla de esta manera: tendrá trescientos codos de largo, cincuenta codos de ancho y treinta codos de alto.
15 This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
16 Haz una ventana en el arca, a un codo del techo. Pon una puerta en uno de sus lados y hazla con un piso inferior, un segundo piso y un tercer piso.
16 You shall make a roof in the ship, and you shall finish it to a cubit upward. You shall set the door of the ship in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels.
17 Yo enviaré un gran diluvio sobre la tierra para destruir de debajo del cielo a todo ser vivo que tenga aliento de vida. Todo lo que hay en la tierra morirá.
17 I, even I, will bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is on the earth will die.
18 Pero estableceré mi pacto contigo. Entrarás en el arca con tus hijos, tu mujer y las mujeres de tus hijos.
18 But I will establish my covenant with you. You shall come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.
19 Llevarás contigo al arca una pareja de cada clase de ser vivo, macho y hembra, para mantenerlos con vida.
19 Of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.
20 Llevarás contigo dos de cada clase de ave, de ganado y de todo animal que se mueve sobre la tierra, para mantenerlos con vida.
20 Of the birds after their kind, of the livestock after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort will come to you, to keep them alive.
21 También debes guardar toda clase de alimento para ti y para ellos».
21 Take with you some of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them.”
22 Noé hizo todo exactamente como Dios se lo había ordenado.
22 Thus Noah did. He did all that God commanded him.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And then the union of all these, which is called the Triacontad, they strenuously endeavour to demonstrate by the ark of Noah, the height of which was thirty cubits; by the case of Samuel, who assigned Saul the chief place among thirty guests; by David, when for thirty days he concealed himself in the field; by those who entered along …
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became the giants, men of renown."
