וַהֲוָה כַּד שְׁרִיאוּ בְנֵי אֱנָשָׁא לְמִסְגֵּי עַל אַפֵּי אַרְעָא וּבְנָתָא אִתְיְלִידוּ לְהוֹן:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

It came to be when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, that daughters were born to them.

וַחֲזוֹ בְנֵי רַבְרְבַיָּא יָת בְּנַת אֱנָשָׁא אֲרֵי שַׁפִּירָן אִנוּן וּנְסִיבוּ לְהוֹן נְשִׁין מִכֹּל דִּי אִתְרְעִיאוּ:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

The sons of the rulers saw that the daughters of man were fair and they took for themselves wives from whomever they chose [wanted].

וַאֲמַר יְיָ לָא יִתְקַיַם דָרָא בִישָׁא הָדֵין קֳדָמַי לְעַלָם בְּדִיל דְאִנוּן בִּשְׂרָא וְעוֹבָדֵיהוֹן בִּישַׁיָא אַרְכָא יְהִיבַת לְהוֹן מְאָה וְעַשְׂרִין שְׁנִין אִם יְתוּבוּן:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Adonoy said, My spirit will not continue to judge man forever [this evil generation shall not exist before me forever], since he is nothing but flesh [since they are flesh and their deeds are evil]. His days shall be a hundred and twenty years [I will give them a period of a hundred and twenty years for them to repent].

גִּבָּרַיָּא הֲווֹ בְאַרְעָא בְּיוֹמַיָּא הָאִנּוּן וְאַף בָּתַר כֵּן דִּי יַעֲלוּן בְּנֵי רַבְרְבַיָּא לְוַת בְּנַת אֱנָשָׁא וִילִידָן לְהוֹן אִנוּן גִּבָּרַיָּא דִּמֵעָלְמָא אֱנָשִׁין דִּשְׁמָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

There were giants on the earth in those days, and also later, when the sons of the rulers came to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mightiest ones who ever existed. [They were] men of renown.

וַחֲזָא יְיָ אֲרֵי סְגִיאַת בִּישַׁת אֱנָשָׁא בְּאַרְעָא וְכָל יִצְרָא מַחְשְׁבַת לִבֵּהּ לְחוֹד בִּישׁ כָּל יוֹמָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Adonoy saw that man’s wickedness had increased on the earth, and that every inclination of his heart was only for evil, all day long.

וְתַב יְיָ בְּמֵימְרֵהּ אֲרֵי עֲבַד יָת אֱנָשָׁא בְּאַרְעָא וַאֲמַר בְּמֵימְרֵהּ לְמִתְּבַר תָּקְפְּהוֹן כִּרְעוּתֵהּ:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Adonoy was comforted [regretted in His Word] that He had made man on the earth, and He grieved in His heart [and He said with His word to break their strength in accordance with His Will].

וַאֲמַר יְיָ אֶמְחֵי יָת אֲנָשָׁא דִּי בְרֵאתִי מֵעַל אַפֵּי אַרְעָא מֵאֱנָשָׁא עַד בְּעִירָא עַד רִיחֲשָׁא וְעַד עוֹפָא דִּשְׁמַיָּא אֲרֵי תָבִית בְּמֵימְרִי אֲרֵי עֲבַדְתִּנוּן:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Adonoy said, I will obliterate mankind which I have created from the face of the earth, from man to beast, to the creeping things and to the birds of heaven, for I regret [with My word] that I made them.

וְנֹחַ אַשְׁכַּח רַחֲמִין קֳדָם יְיָ:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

But Noach found favor [mercy] in the eyes of [before] Adonoy.

אִלֵּין תּוּלְדַת נֹחַ נֹחַ גְּבַר זַכַּאי שְׁלִים הֲוָה בְּדָרוֹהִי בְּדַחַלְתָּא דַיְיָ הַלִּיךְ נֹחַ:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

These are the progeny of Noach. Noach was a righteous man, flawless in his generations; Noach walked with [the fear of] Elohim.

וְאוֹלִיד נֹחַ תְּלָתָא בְנִין יָת שֵׁם יָת חָם וְיָת יָפֶת:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Noach fathered three sons, Sheim, Cham and Yafes.

וְאִתְחַבָּלַת אַרְעָא קֳדָם יְיָ וְאִתְמְלִיאַת אַרְעָא חֲטוֹפִין:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

The earth was corrupt before Elohim, and the earth was filled with violent crime.

וַחֲזָא יְיָ יָת אַרְעָא וְהָא אִתְחַבָּלַת אֲרֵי חַבִּילוּ כָּל בִּשְׂרָא אֱנַשׁ יָת אָרְחֵהּ עַל אַרְעָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Elohim saw the earth and beheld that it was corrupt, for all flesh [of man] had corrupted its way on the earth.

וַאֲמַר יְיָ לְנֹחַ קִצָּא דְכָל בִּשְׂרָא עַלַּת לִקֳדָמַי אֲרֵי אִתְמְלִיאַת אַרְעָא חֲטוֹפִין מִן קֳדָם עוֹבָדֵיהוֹן בִּישַׁיָּא וְהָא אֲנָא מְחַבֶּלְהוֹן עִם אַרְעָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Elohim said to Noach, The end of all flesh has come before Me. For the earth is filled with violent crime because of them [their evil deeds], and so, I will destroy them with the earth.

עִיבֵד לָךְ תֵּבוֹתָא דְאָעִין דְּקַדְרוֹם מְדוֹרִין תַּעְבֵּד יָת תֵּבוֹתָא וְתֶחְפֵּי יָתַהּ מִגָּו וּמִבָּרָא בְּכָפְרָא:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Make for yourself an ark of cedar wood. Make the ark into compartments and caulk the inside and outside with tar.

וְדֵין דִתַעֲבֵּד יָתַהּ תְּלָת מְאָה אַמִּין אוּרְכָּא דְתֵבוֹתָא חַמְשִׁין אַמִּין פְּתָיַהּ וּתְלָתִין אַמִּין רוּמַהּ:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

This is how you should make it; the ark’s length shall be three hundred amos, its width fifty amos, and its height thirty amos.

נֵהוֹר תַּעְבֵּיד לְתֵבוֹתָא וּלְאַמְתָא תְּשַׁכְלְלִנַּהּ מִלְּעֵלָּא וְתַרְעָא דְתֵבוֹתָא בְּסִטְרַהּ תְּשַׁוִּי מְדוֹרִין אַרָעִין תִּנְיָנִין וּתְלִיתָאִין תַּעְבְּדִנַּהּ:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Make a skylight [light] for the ark, and finish it to one amoh at the top. Place the opening of the ark in its side. Make a lower deck, a second and a third deck.

וַאֲנָא הָא אֲנָא מַיְתֵי יָת טוֹפָנָא מַיָּא עַל אַרְעָא לְחַבָּלָא כָּל בִּשְׂרָא דִּי בֵיהּ רוּחָא דְחַיֵּי מִתְּחוֹת שְׁמַיָּא כֹּל דִּי בְאַרְעָא יְמוּת:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

Behold I am bringing the flood waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh in which there is the breath of life, from under the heavens. Everything that is on the land will perish.

וְאָקֵם יָת קְיָמִי עִמָּךְ וְתֵעוֹל לְתֵבוֹתָא אַתְּ וּבְנָךְ וְאִתְּתָךְ וּנְשֵׁי בְנָךְ עִמָּךְ:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

I established My covenant with you. You shall go into the ark, you, your sons, your wife and your son’s wives, with you.

וּמִכָּל דְּחַי מִכָּל בִּשְׂרָא תְּרֵין מִכֹּלָא תָּעֵיל לְתֵבוֹתָא לְקַיָּמָא עִמָּךְ דְּכַר וְנָקְבָּא יְהוֹן:

Metsudah Chumash, Metsudah Publications, 2009 [with Onkelos translation]

From all living things, from all flesh, two of each shall you bring to the ark, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.

מֵעוֹפָא לִזְנוֹהִי וּמִן בְּעִירָא לִזְנַהּ וּמִכֹּל רִחֲשָׁא דְאַרְעָא לִזְנוֹהִי תְּרֵין מִכֹּלָּא יַעֲלוּן לְוָתָךְ לְקַיָּמָא:

You shall take for yourself from all [the] foods that are eaten, and gather it to yourself, and it will be food for you and for them.
