6:9 the account: See study note on 2:4
• a righteous man, the only blameless person: The text does not claim that Noah was without sin (see Rom 5:12-14). Noah’s righteousness and blamelessness came about because he walked in close fellowship with God. See also Gen 7:1; 17:1; Heb 11:7.

these accounts Noḩa
Some of Noah’s history has already been given in Gen 5:29, 32, and 6:8. What follows tells more about him. Alternate translation: “This is more of the record of Noah and his family:” or “What follows tells more about Noah and his family:”
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
נֹ֗חַ
Noḩa
Consider whether it is better in your language to use a noun or a pronoun here to refer to Noah.
Note 2 topic: translate-key-terms
אִ֥ישׁ צַדִּ֛יק
(a)_man law-abiding/just
Alternate translation: “an good man.”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
תָּמִ֥ים הָיָ֖ה בְּדֹֽרֹתָ֑יו
entire/complete/moral it_became in=his/its=generations
The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. It could mean: (1) “He alone was blameless/faultless in God’s eyes among his contemporaries.” or “Out of all the people living at that time, Noah/he was the only one whom God considered blameless.” or (2) “He had a blameless/spotless reputation among his contemporaries.” or “His contemporaries considered him to be a man of integrity.” The phrase without blemish is often used in the Bible to describe animals that have no defects. Here it is used as an idiom that means Noah was “blameless/faultless” in an ethical or moral sense, or that he had good integrity, but it does not mean that he was sinless. Consider whether your language has a similar idiom that would work well here. Also, the word generation refers here to people who lived during the same time period.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אֶת הָֽאֱלֹהִ֖ים הִֽתְהַלֶּךְ נֹֽחַ
DOM the=ʼₑlhīmv he/it_walked_around Noḩa
Consider whether or not it is best in your language to begin a new sentence here. See how you translated this idiom in Gen 5:22, 24. Alternate translation: “and he walked closely with God.” or “and he lived in a faithful relationship with God.”
