اَلتَّكْوِينُ 1
| فِي ٱلْبَدْءِ خَلَقَ ٱللهُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ. | ١ 1 |
In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth,
| وَكَانَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ خَرِبَةً وَخَالِيَةً، وَعَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْغَمْرِ ظُلْمَةٌ، وَرُوحُ ٱللهِ يَرِفُّ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ. | ٢ 2 |
and the earth was formless and void, and darkness [was] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God [was] fluttering on the face of the waters,
| وَقَالَ ٱللهُ: «لِيَكُنْ نُورٌ»، فَكَانَ نُورٌ. | ٣ 3 |
and God says, “Let light be”; and light is.
| وَرَأَى ٱللهُ ٱلنُّورَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ. وَفَصَلَ ٱللهُ بَيْنَ ٱلنُّورِ وَٱلظُّلْمَةِ. | ٤ 4 |
And God sees that the light [is] good, and God separates between the light and the darkness,
| وَدَعَا ٱللهُ ٱلنُّورَ نَهَارًا، وَٱلظُّلْمَةُ دَعَاهَا لَيْلًا. وَكَانَ مَسَاءٌ وَكَانَ صَبَاحٌ يَوْمًا وَاحِدًا. | ٥ 5 |
and God calls the light “Day,” and the darkness He has called “Night”; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—day one.
| وَقَالَ ٱللهُ: «لِيَكُنْ جَلَدٌ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ. وَلْيَكُنْ فَاصِلًا بَيْنَ مِيَاهٍ وَمِيَاهٍ». | ٦ 6 |
And God says, “Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.”
| فَعَمِلَ ٱللهُ ٱلْجَلَدَ، وَفَصَلَ بَيْنَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلَّتِي تَحْتَ ٱلْجَلَدِ وَٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلَّتِي فَوْقَ ٱلْجَلَدِ. وَكَانَ كَذَلِكَ. | ٧ 7 |
And God makes the expanse, and it separates between the waters which [are] under the expanse, and the waters which [are] above the expanse: and it is so.
| وَدَعَا ٱللهُ ٱلْجَلَدَ سَمَاءً. وَكَانَ مَسَاءٌ وَكَانَ صَبَاحٌ يَوْمًا ثَانِيًا. | ٨ 8 |
And God calls the expanse “Heavens”; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] second day.
| وَقَالَ ٱللهُ: «لِتَجْتَمِعِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ تَحْتَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ إِلَى مَكَانٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَلْتَظْهَرِ ٱلْيَابِسَةُ». وَكَانَ كَذَلِكَ. | ٩ 9 |
And God says, “Let the waters under the heavens be collected to one place, and let the dry land be seen”: and it is so.
| وَدَعَا ٱللهُ ٱلْيَابِسَةَ أَرْضًا، وَمُجْتَمَعَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ دَعَاهُ بِحَارًا. وَرَأَى ٱللهُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ. | ١٠ 10 |
And God calls the dry land “Earth,” and the collection of the waters He has called “Seas”; and God sees that [it is] 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 says, “Let the earth yield tender grass, herb sowing seed, fruit-tree (whose seed [is] in itself) making fruit after its kind, on the earth”: and it is so.
| فَأَخْرَجَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ عُشْبًا وَبَقْلًا يُبْزِرُ بِزْرًا كَجِنْسِهِ، وَشَجَرًا يَعْمَلُ ثَمَرًا بِزْرُهُ فِيهِ كَجِنْسِهِ. وَرَأَى ٱللهُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ. | ١٢ 12 |
And the earth brings forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed [is] in itself) after its kind; and God sees that [it is] good;
| وَكَانَ مَسَاءٌ وَكَانَ صَبَاحٌ يَوْمًا ثَالِثًا. | ١٣ 13 |
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] third day.
| وَقَالَ ٱللهُ: «لِتَكُنْ أَنْوَارٌ فِي جَلَدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ لِتَفْصِلَ بَيْنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ وَٱللَّيْلِ، وَتَكُونَ لِآيَاتٍ وَأَوْقَاتٍ وَأَيَّامٍ وَسِنِينٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
And God says, “Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to make a separation between the day and the night, then they have been for signs, and for appointed times, and for days and years,
| وَتَكُونَ أَنْوَارًا فِي جَلَدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ لِتُنِيرَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ». وَكَانَ كَذَلِكَ. | ١٥ 15 |
and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”: and it is so.
| فَعَمِلَ ٱللهُ ٱلنُّورَيْنِ ٱلْعَظِيمَيْنِ: ٱلنُّورَ ٱلْأَكْبَرَ لِحُكْمِ ٱلنَّهَارِ، وَٱلنُّورَ ٱلْأَصْغَرَ لِحُكْمِ ٱللَّيْلِ، وَٱلنُّجُومَ. | ١٦ 16 |
And God makes the two great luminaries, the great luminary for the rule of the day, and the small luminary—and the stars—for the rule of the night;
| وَجَعَلَهَا ٱللهُ فِي جَلَدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ لِتُنِيرَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، | ١٧ 17 |
and God gives them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
| وَلِتَحْكُمَ عَلَى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَٱللَّيْلِ، وَلِتَفْصِلَ بَيْنَ ٱلنُّورِ وَٱلظُّلْمَةِ. وَرَأَى ٱللهُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ. | ١٨ 18 |
and to rule over day and over night, and to make a separation between the light and the darkness; and God sees that [it is] good;
| وَكَانَ مَسَاءٌ وَكَانَ صَبَاحٌ يَوْمًا رَابِعًا. | ١٩ 19 |
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fourth day.
| وَقَالَ ٱللهُ: «لِتَفِضِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ زَحَّافَاتٍ ذَاتَ نَفْسٍ حَيَّةٍ، وَلْيَطِرْ طَيْرٌ فَوْقَ ٱلْأَرْضِ عَلَى وَجْهِ جَلَدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ». | ٢٠ 20 |
And God says, “Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature, and let [the] bird fly above the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.”
| 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 creates the great dragons, and every living creature that is creeping, which the waters have teemed with, after their kind, and every bird with wing, after its kind, and God sees that [it is] good.
| وَبَارَكَهَا ٱللهُ قَائِلًا: «أَثْمِرِي وَٱكْثُرِي وَٱمْلَإِي ٱلْمِيَاهَ فِي ٱلْبِحَارِ. وَلْيَكْثُرِ ٱلطَّيْرُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ٢٢ 22 |
And God blesses them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the bird multiply in the earth”:
| وَكَانَ مَسَاءٌ وَكَانَ صَبَاحٌ يَوْمًا خَامِسًا. | ٢٣ 23 |
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fifth day.
| وَقَالَ ٱللهُ: «لِتُخْرِجِ ٱلْأَرْضُ ذَوَاتِ أَنْفُسٍ حَيَّةٍ كَجِنْسِهَا: بَهَائِمَ، وَدَبَّابَاتٍ، وَوُحُوشَ أَرْضٍ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا». وَكَانَ كَذَلِكَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And God says, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, livestock and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind”: and it is so.
| فَعَمِلَ ٱللهُ وُحُوشَ ٱلْأَرْضِ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا، وَٱلْبَهَائِمَ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا، وَجَمِيعَ دَبَّابَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا. وَرَأَى ٱللهُ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ حَسَنٌ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And God makes the beast of the earth after its kind, and the livestock after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, and God sees that [it is] 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 says, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.”
| فَخَلَقَ ٱللهُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ عَلَى صُورَتِهِ. عَلَى صُورَةِ ٱللهِ خَلَقَهُ. ذَكَرًا وَأُنْثَى خَلَقَهُمْ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And God creates the man in His image; in the image of God He created him, a male and a female He created 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 blesses them, and God says to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping on 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 says, “Behold, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which [is] on the face of all the earth, and every tree in which [is] the fruit of a tree sowing seed, to you it is 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 bird of the heavens, and to every creeping thing on the earth, in which [is] breath of life, every green herb [is] for food”: and it is so.
| وَرَأَى ٱللهُ كُلَّ مَا عَمِلَهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ حَسَنٌ جِدًّا. وَكَانَ مَسَاءٌ وَكَانَ صَبَاحٌ يَوْمًا سَادِسًا. | ٣١ 31 |
And God sees all that He has done, and behold, [it is] very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—the sixth day.
