1 It came about when mankind began to multiply on the earth and daughters were born to them,
1 Y ACAECIÓ que, cuando comenzaron los hombres á multiplicarse sobre la faz de la tierra, y les nacieron hijas,
2 that the sons of God saw that the daughters of mankind were attractive. They took for themselves wives, any of them that they chose.
2 Viendo los hijos de Dios que las hijas de los hombres eran hermosas, tomáronse mujeres, escogiendo entre todas.
3 Yahweh said, “My spirit will not remain in mankind forever, for they are flesh. They will live 120 years.”
3 Y dijo Jehová: No contenderá mi espíritu con el hombre para siempre, porque ciertamente él es carne: mas serán sus días ciento y veinte años.
4 Giants were on the earth in those days, and also afterward. This happened when the sons of God married daughters of men, and they had children with them. These were the mighty men of old, men of renown.
4 Había gigantes en la tierra en aquellos días, y también después que entraron los hijos de Dios á las hijas de los hombres, y les engendraron hijos: éstos fueron los valientes que desde la antigüedad fueron varones de nombre.
5 Yahweh saw that the wickedness of mankind was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually.
5 Y vió Jehová que la malicia de los hombres [era] mucha en la tierra, y que todo designio de los pensamientos del corazón de ellos era de continuo solamente el mal.
6 Yahweh regretted that he had made mankind on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.
6 Y arrepintióse Jehová de haber hecho hombre en la tierra, y pesóle en su corazón.
7 So Yahweh said, “I will wipe away mankind whom I have created from the surface of the earth; both mankind and the larger animals, and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.”
7 Y dijo Jehová: Raeré los hombres que he criado de sobre la faz de la tierra, desde el hombre hasta la bestia, y hasta el reptil y las aves del cielo: porque me arrepiento de haberlos hecho.
8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Yahweh.
8 Empero Noé halló gracia en los ojos de Jehová.
9 These were the events concerning Noah. Noah was a righteous man, and blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
9 Estas son las generaciones de Noé: Noé, varón justo, perfecto fué en sus generaciones; con Dios caminó Noé.
10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
10 Y engendró Noé tres hijos: á Sem, á Châm, y á Japhet.
11 The earth was corrupt before God, and it was filled with violence.
11 Y corrompióse la tierra delante de Dios, y estaba la tierra llena de violencia.
12 God saw the earth; behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.
12 Y miró Dios la tierra, y he aquí que estaba corrompida; porque toda carne había corrompido su camino sobre la tierra.
13 God said to Noah, “I can see that it is time to put an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Indeed, I will destroy them with the earth.
13 Y dijo Dios á Noé: El fin de toda carne ha venido delante de mí; porque la tierra está llena de violencia á causa de ellos; y he aquí que yo los destruiré con la tierra.
14 Make for yourself an ark of cypress wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch within and without.
14 Hazte un arca de madera de Gopher: harás aposentos en el arca, y la embetunarás con brea por dentro y por fuera.
15 This is how you will make it: The length of the ark is to be three hundred cubits; the breadth of it is to be fifty cubits, and the height of it is to be thirty cubits.
15 Y de esta manera la harás: de trescientos codos la longitud del arca, de cincuenta codos su anchura, y de treinta codos su altura.
16 Make a roof for the ark, and finish it at a cubit from the top of the side. Place a door in the side of the ark and make a lower, a second, and a third deck.
16 Una ventana harás al arca, y la acabarás á un codo [de elevación] por la parte de arriba: y pondrás la puerta del arca á su lado; y le harás [piso] bajo, segundo y tercero.
17 Listen, I am about to bring the flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh that has in it the breath of life from under heaven. Everything that is on the earth will die.
17 Y yo, he aquí que yo traigo un diluvio de aguas sobre la tierra, para destruir toda carne en que haya espíritu de vida debajo del cielo; todo lo que hay en la tierra morirá.
18 But I will establish my covenant with you. You will come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
18 Mas estableceré mi pacto contigo, y entrarás en el arca tú, y tus hijos y tu mujer, y las mujeres de tus hijos contigo.
19 Of every living creature of all flesh, two of every kind you must bring into the ark, to keep them alive with you, both male and female.
19 Y de todo lo que vive, de toda carne, dos de cada especie meterás en el arca, para que tengan vida contigo; macho y hembra serán.
20 Of the birds after their kind, and of the larger animals 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.
20 De las aves según su especie, y de las bestias según su especie, de todo reptil de la tierra según su especie, dos de cada especie entrarán contigo para que hayan vida.
21 Gather for yourself every kind of food that is eaten and store it, so that it will be food for you and for them.”
21 Y toma contigo de toda vianda que se come, y allégala á ti; servirá de alimento para ti y para ellos.
22 So Noah did this. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
22 E hízolo así Noé; hizo conforme á todo lo que Dios le mandó.

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." These words of the divine book sufficiently indicate that already there were giants in the earth in those days, in which …
