Scene 1 · Intermediate
Gott sah, wie groß die Bosheit der Menschen auf der Erde geworden war. Ihre Gedanken und Absichten waren ständig nur böse. Er bereute, dass er die Menschen geschaffen hatte, und empfand darüber tiefen Schmerz.
God saw how great the wickedness of the people on earth had become. Their thoughts and intentions were constantly evil. He regretted having created people and felt deep sorrow about it.
„Ich werde die Menschen, die ich geschaffen habe, von der Erde auslöschen“, sagte Gott. „Mit ihnen werden auch die Tiere, die kriechenden Geschöpfe und die Vögel verschwinden. Denn ich bereue, dass ich sie geschaffen habe.“
“I will wipe the people I created from the earth,” God said. “The animals, the creeping creatures, and the birds will disappear along with them. For I regret having created them.”
Doch Noah fand Gnade bei Gott.
But Noah found favor with God.
