Liber Genesis

Cumque cœpissent homines multiplicari super terram, et filias procreassent,

And after that men began to be multiplied upon the earth, and daughters were born to them,

Cumque homines incipe multiplica super terra, et filias procrea,

videntes filii Dei filias hominum quod essent pulchræ, acceperunt sibi uxores ex omnibus, quas elegerant.

The sons of God seeing the daughters of men, that they were fair, took to themselves wives of all which they chose.

Vide filios de Deo filias de homines quod es pulcherrimo, accipe ad se uxores ex omni, que elige.

Dixitque Deus: Non permanebit spiritus meus in homine in æternum, quia caro est: eruntque dies illius centum viginti annorum.

And God said: My spirit shall not remain in man for ever, because he is flesh, and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.

Et Deo dic: non spiritu meo permane in homine in aeterno, quia carne es: et es dies de illo cento viginti de annos.

Gigantes autem erant super terram in diebus illis: postquam enim ingressi sunt filii Dei ad filias hominum, illæque genuerunt, isti sunt potentes a sæculo viri famosi.

Now giants were upon the earth in those days. For after the sons of God went in to the daughters of men, and they brought forth children, these are the mighty men of old, men of renown.

Gigantes autem es super terra in dies ad illos: postquam nam ingredior es filios de Deo ad filias de homines, et isto es, potente ab saeculo viros famoso gene illo.

Videns autem Deus quod multa malitia hominum esset in terra, et cuncta cogitatio cordis intenta esset ad malum omni tempore,

And God seeing that the wickedness of men was great on the earth, and that all the thought of their heart was bent upon evil at all times,

Vidente autem Deo quod multo malitia de homines es in terra, et cuncta cogitatione de corde intenta es ad malo omni tempore,

pœnituit eum quod hominum fecisset in terra. Et tactus dolore cordis intrinsecus,

It repented him that he had made man on the earth. And being touched inwardly with sorrow of heart,

Poenite illo quod de homines fac in terra. Et tace dolore de corde intrinsecus,

Delebo, inquit, hominem, quem creavi, a facie terræ, ab homine usque ad animantia, a reptili usque ad volucres cæli: pœnitet enim me fecisse eos.

He said: I will destroy man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, from man even to beasts, from the creeping thing even to the fowls of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them.

Dele, dic, homine, quem crea, ab facie de terra, ab homine usque ad animantias, ab reptili usque ad volucres de caelo: poenite nam me fac illos.

Noë vero invenit gratiam coram Domino.

But Noe found grace before the Lord.

Hæ sunt generationes Noë: Noë vir justus atque perfectus fuit in generationibus suis; cum Deo ambulavit.

Corrupta est autem terra coram Deo, et repleta est iniquitate.

And the earth was corrupted before God, and was filled with iniquity.

Corrumpe es autem terra coram Deo, et reple es iniquitate.

Cumque vidisset Deus terram esse corruptam (omnis quippe caro corruperat viam suam super terram),

And when God had seen that the earth was corrupted (for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth),

Cumque Deo vide terra es corrumpe (omni quippe carne corrumpe via suo super terra),

dixit ad Noë: Finis universæ carnis venit coram me: repleta est terra iniquitate a facie eorum, et ego disperdam eos cum terra.

He said to Noe: The end of all flesh is come before me, the earth is filled with iniquity through them, and I will destroy them with the earth.

Dic ad Noë: fine universa de carne veni coram me: reple es terra iniquitate ab facie de illos, et me disperde illos cum terra.

Et sic facies eam: trecentorum cubitorum erit longitudo arcæ, quinquaginta cubitorum latitudo, et triginta cubitorum altitudo illius.

And thus shalt thou make it. The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits: the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

Et sic fac illa: trecentoro de cubitos es longitudine de arca, quinquaginta de cubitos latitudine, et triginta de cubitos altitudine de illo.

Fenestram in arca facies, et in cubito consummabis summitatem ejus: ostium autem arcæ pones ex latere; deorsum, cœnacula et tristega facies in ea.

Thou shalt make a window in the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish the top of it: and the door of the ark thou shalt set in the side: with lower, middle chambers, and third stories shalt thou make it.

Fenestra in arca fac, et in cubito consumma summitate de illo: ostio autem de arca pone ex latere; deorsum, coenaculos et tristegas fac in illa.

Ecce ego adducam aquas diluvii super terram, ut interficiam omnem carnem, in qua spiritus vitæ est subter cælum: universa quæ in terra sunt, consumentur.

Behold, I will bring the waters of a great flood upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life under heaven. All things that are in the earth shall be consumed.

Ecce me adduce aquas de diluvio super terra, ut interfice omni carne, in quo spiritu de vita es subter caelo: universa que in terra es, consume.

Ponamque fœdus meum tecum: et ingredieris arcam tu et filii tui, uxor tua, et uxores filiorum tuorum tecum.

Et ex cunctis animantibus universæ carnis bina induces in arcam, ut vivant tecum: masculini sexus et feminini.
