that aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water:

Who, in the days of Noah, went against God's orders; but God in his mercy kept back the punishment, while Noah got ready the ark, in which a small number, that is to say eight persons, got salvation through water:

τα οποια ηπειθησαν ποτε, οτε η μακροθυμια του Θεου επροσμενε ποτε αυτους εν ταις ημεραις του Νωε, ενω κατεσκευαζετο η κιβωτος, εις ην ολιγαι, τουτεστιν οκτω, ψυχαι διεσωθησαν δι' υδατος.

Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
