اَلتَّكْوِينُ 1
| فِي ٱلْبَدْءِ خَلَقَ ٱللهُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ. | ١ 1 |
IN THE beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
| وَكَانَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ خَرِبَةً وَخَالِيَةً، وَعَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْغَمْرِ ظُلْمَةٌ، وَرُوحُ ٱللهِ يَرِفُّ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ. | ٢ 2 |
Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters.
| وَقَالَ ٱللهُ: «لِيَكُنْ نُورٌ»، فَكَانَ نُورٌ. | ٣ 3 |
And God said: 'Let there be light.' And there was light.
| وَرَأَى ٱللهُ ٱلنُّورَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ. وَفَصَلَ ٱللهُ بَيْنَ ٱلنُّورِ وَٱلظُّلْمَةِ. | ٤ 4 |
And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
| وَدَعَا ٱللهُ ٱلنُّورَ نَهَارًا، وَٱلظُّلْمَةُ دَعَاهَا لَيْلًا. وَكَانَ مَسَاءٌ وَكَانَ صَبَاحٌ يَوْمًا وَاحِدًا. | ٥ 5 |
And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
| وَقَالَ ٱللهُ: «لِيَكُنْ جَلَدٌ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ. وَلْيَكُنْ فَاصِلًا بَيْنَ مِيَاهٍ وَمِيَاهٍ». | ٦ 6 |
And God said: 'Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.'
| فَعَمِلَ ٱللهُ ٱلْجَلَدَ، وَفَصَلَ بَيْنَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلَّتِي تَحْتَ ٱلْجَلَدِ وَٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلَّتِي فَوْقَ ٱلْجَلَدِ. وَكَانَ كَذَلِكَ. | ٧ 7 |
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so.
| وَدَعَا ٱللهُ ٱلْجَلَدَ سَمَاءً. وَكَانَ مَسَاءٌ وَكَانَ صَبَاحٌ يَوْمًا ثَانِيًا. | ٨ 8 |
And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
| وَقَالَ ٱللهُ: «لِتَجْتَمِعِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ تَحْتَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ إِلَى مَكَانٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَلْتَظْهَرِ ٱلْيَابِسَةُ». وَكَانَ كَذَلِكَ. | ٩ 9 |
And God said: 'Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear.' And it was so.
| وَدَعَا ٱللهُ ٱلْيَابِسَةَ أَرْضًا، وَمُجْتَمَعَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ دَعَاهُ بِحَارًا. وَرَأَى ٱللهُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ. | ١٠ 10 |
And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters called He Seas; and God saw that it was good.
| وَقَالَ ٱللهُ: «لِتُنْبِتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ عُشْبًا وَبَقْلًا يُبْزِرُ بِزْرًا، وَشَجَرًا ذَا ثَمَرٍ يَعْمَلُ ثَمَرًا كَجِنْسِهِ، بِزْرُهُ فِيهِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ». وَكَانَ كَذَلِكَ. | ١١ 11 |
And God said: 'Let the earth put forth grass, herb yielding seed, and fruit-tree bearing fruit after its kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth.' And it was so.
| فَأَخْرَجَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ عُشْبًا وَبَقْلًا يُبْزِرُ بِزْرًا كَجِنْسِهِ، وَشَجَرًا يَعْمَلُ ثَمَرًا بِزْرُهُ فِيهِ كَجِنْسِهِ. وَرَأَى ٱللهُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ. | ١٢ 12 |
And the earth brought forth grass, herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
| وَكَانَ مَسَاءٌ وَكَانَ صَبَاحٌ يَوْمًا ثَالِثًا. | ١٣ 13 |
And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
| وَقَالَ ٱللهُ: «لِتَكُنْ أَنْوَارٌ فِي جَلَدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ لِتَفْصِلَ بَيْنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ وَٱللَّيْلِ، وَتَكُونَ لِآيَاتٍ وَأَوْقَاتٍ وَأَيَّامٍ وَسِنِينٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
And God said: 'Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;
| وَتَكُونَ أَنْوَارًا فِي جَلَدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ لِتُنِيرَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ». وَكَانَ كَذَلِكَ. | ١٥ 15 |
and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.' And it was so.
| فَعَمِلَ ٱللهُ ٱلنُّورَيْنِ ٱلْعَظِيمَيْنِ: ٱلنُّورَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ لِحُكْمِ ٱلنَّهَارِ، وَٱلنُّورَ ٱلْأَصْغَرَ لِحُكْمِ ٱللَّيْلِ، وَٱلنُّجُومَ. | ١٦ 16 |
And God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; and the stars.
| وَجَعَلَهَا ٱللهُ فِي جَلَدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ لِتُنِيرَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، | ١٧ 17 |
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
| وَلِتَحْكُمَ عَلَى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَٱللَّيْلِ، وَلِتَفْصِلَ بَيْنَ ٱلنُّورِ وَٱلظُّلْمَةِ. وَرَأَى ٱللهُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ. | ١٨ 18 |
and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good.
| وَكَانَ مَسَاءٌ وَكَانَ صَبَاحٌ يَوْمًا رَابِعًا. | ١٩ 19 |
And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
| وَقَالَ ٱللهُ: «لِتَفِضِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ زَحَّافَاتٍ ذَاتَ نَفْسٍ حَيَّةٍ، وَلْيَطِرْ طَيْرٌ فَوْقَ ٱلْأَرْضِ عَلَى وَجْهِ جَلَدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ». | ٢٠ 20 |
And God said: 'Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let fowl fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.'
| فَخَلَقَ ٱللهُ ٱلتَّنَانِينَ ٱلْعِظَامَ، وَكُلَّ ذَوَاتِ ٱلْأَنْفُسِ ٱلْحيَّةِ ٱلدَّبَّابَةِ ٱلْتِى فَاضَتْ بِهَا ٱلْمِيَاهُ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا، وَكُلَّ طَائِرٍ ذِي جَنَاحٍ كَجِنْسِهِ. وَرَأَى ٱللهُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ. | ٢١ 21 |
And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that creepeth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after its kind, and every winged fowl after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
| وَبَارَكَهَا ٱللهُ قَائِلًا: «أَثْمِرِي وَٱكْثُرِي وَٱمْلَإِي ٱلْمِيَاهَ فِي ٱلْبِحَارِ. وَلْيَكْثُرِ ٱلطَّيْرُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ٢٢ 22 |
And God blessed them, saying: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.'
| وَكَانَ مَسَاءٌ وَكَانَ صَبَاحٌ يَوْمًا خَامِسًا. | ٢٣ 23 |
And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
| وَقَالَ ٱللهُ: «لِتُخْرِجِ ٱلْأَرْضُ ذَوَاتِ أَنْفُسٍ حَيَّةٍ كَجِنْسِهَا: بَهَائِمَ، وَدَبَّابَاتٍ، وَوُحُوشَ أَرْضٍ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا». وَكَانَ كَذَلِكَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And God said: 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind.' And it was so.
| فَعَمِلَ ٱللهُ وُحُوشَ ٱلْأَرْضِ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا، وَٱلْبَهَائِمَ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا، وَجَمِيعَ دَبَّابَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا. وَرَأَى ٱللهُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
| وَقَالَ ٱللهُ: «نَعْمَلُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ عَلَى صُورَتِنَا كَشَبَهِنَا، فَيَتَسَلَّطُونَ عَلَى سَمَكِ ٱلْبَحْرِ وَعَلَى طَيْرِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَعَلَى ٱلْبَهَائِمِ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَعَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلدَّبَّابَاتِ ٱلَّتِي تَدِبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ٢٦ 26 |
And God said: 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.'
| فَخَلَقَ ٱللهُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ عَلَى صُورَتِهِ. عَلَى صُورَةِ ٱللهِ خَلَقَهُ. ذَكَرًا وَأُنْثَى خَلَقَهُمْ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.
| وَبَارَكَهُمُ ٱللهُ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَثْمِرُوا وَٱكْثُرُوا وَٱمْلَأُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَأَخْضِعُوهَا، وَتَسَلَّطُوا عَلَى سَمَكِ ٱلْبَحْرِ وَعَلَى طَيْرِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَعَلَى كُلِّ حَيَوَانٍ يَدِبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ٢٨ 28 |
And God blessed them; and God said unto them: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that creepeth upon the earth.'
| وَقَالَ ٱللهُ: «إِنِّي قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ كُلَّ بَقْلٍ يُبْزِرُ بِزْرًا عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَكُلَّ شَجَرٍ فِيهِ ثَمَرُ شَجَرٍ يُبْزِرُ بِزْرًا لَكُمْ يَكُونُ طَعَامًا. | ٢٩ 29 |
And God said: 'Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed — to you it shall be for food;
| وَلِكُلِّ حَيَوَانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَكُلِّ طَيْرِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَكُلِّ دَبَّابَةٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ فِيهَا نَفْسٌ حَيَّةٌ، أَعْطَيْتُ كُلَّ عُشْبٍ أَخْضَرَ طَعَامًا». وَكَانَ كَذَلِكَ. | ٣٠ 30 |
and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is a living soul, I have given every green herb for food.' And it was so.
| وَرَأَى ٱللهُ كُلَّ مَا عَمِلَهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ حَسَنٌ جِدًّا. وَكَانَ مَسَاءٌ وَكَانَ صَبَاحٌ يَوْمًا سَادِسًا. | ٣١ 31 |
And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
