اَلتَّكْوِينُ 11
| وَكَانَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا لِسَانًا وَاحِدًا وَلُغَةً وَاحِدَةً. | ١ 1 |
Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech.
| وَحَدَثَ فِي ٱرْتِحَالِهِمْ شَرْقًا أَنَّهُمْ وَجَدُوا بُقْعَةً فِي أَرْضِ شِنْعَارَ وَسَكَنُوا هُنَاكَ. | ٢ 2 |
And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
| وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «هَلُمَّ نَصْنَعُ لِبْنًا وَنَشْوِيهِ شَيًّا». فَكَانَ لَهُمُ ٱللِّبْنُ مَكَانَ ٱلْحَجَرِ، وَكَانَ لَهُمُ ٱلْحُمَرُ مَكَانَ ٱلطِّينِ. | ٣ 3 |
And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” So they used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of mortar.
| وَقَالُوا: «هَلُمَّ نَبْنِ لِأَنْفُسِنَا مَدِينَةً وَبُرْجًا رَأْسُهُ بِٱلسَّمَاءِ. وَنَصْنَعُ لِأَنْفُسِنَا ٱسْمًا لِئَلَّا نَتَبَدَّدَ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ٤ 4 |
“Come,” they said, “let us build for ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of all the earth.”
| فَنَزَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَنْظُرَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَٱلْبُرْجَ ٱللَّذَيْنِ كَانَ بَنُو آدَمَ يَبْنُونَهُمَا. | ٥ 5 |
Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building.
| وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هُوَذَا شَعْبٌ وَاحِدٌ وَلِسَانٌ وَاحِدٌ لِجَمِيعِهِمْ، وَهَذَا ٱبْتِدَاؤُهُمْ بِٱلْعَمَلِ. وَٱلْآنَ لَا يَمْتَنِعُ عَلَيْهِمْ كُلُّ مَا يَنْوُونَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوهُ. | ٦ 6 |
And the LORD said, “If they have begun to do this as one people speaking the same language, then nothing they devise will be beyond them.
| هَلُمَّ نَنْزِلْ وَنُبَلْبِلْ هُنَاكَ لِسَانَهُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَسْمَعَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِسَانَ بَعْضٍ». | ٧ 7 |
Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”
| فَبَدَّدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَكَفُّوا عَنْ بُنْيَانِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، | ٨ 8 |
So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
| لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ ٱسْمُهَا «بَابِلَ» لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ هُنَاكَ بَلْبَلَ لِسَانَ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ بَدَّدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٩ 9 |
That is why it is called Babel, for there the LORD confused the language of the whole world, and from that place the LORD scattered them over the face of all the earth.
| هَذِهِ مَوَالِيدُ سَامٍ: لَمَّا كَانَ سَامٌ ٱبْنَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ وَلَدَ أَرْفَكْشَادَ، بَعْدَ ٱلطُّوفَانِ بِسَنَتَيْنِ. | ١٠ 10 |
This is the account of Shem. Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he became the father of Arphaxad.
| وَعَاشَ سَامٌ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ أَرْفَكْشَادَ خَمْسَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. | ١١ 11 |
And after he had become the father of Arphaxad, Shem lived 500 years and had other sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ أَرْفَكْشَادُ خَمْسًا وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً وَوَلَدَ شَالَحَ. | ١٢ 12 |

| وَعَاشَ شَالَحُ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ عَابِرَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. | ١٥ 15 |

| وَعَاشَ عَابِرُ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ فَالَجَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. | ١٧ 17 |
And after he had become the father of Peleg, Eber lived 430 years and had other sons and daughters.

| وَعَاشَ فَالَجُ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ رَعُوَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَتِسْعَ سِنِينَ، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. | ١٩ 19 |
And after he had become the father of Reu, Peleg lived 209 years and had other sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ رَعُو ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً وَوَلَدَ سَرُوجَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
When Reu was 32 years old, he became the father of Serug.
| وَعَاشَ رَعُو بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ سَرُوجَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعَ سِنِينَ، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. | ٢١ 21 |
And after he had become the father of Serug, Reu lived 207 years and had other sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ سَرُوجُ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً وَوَلَدَ نَاحُورَ. | ٢٢ 22 |

And after he had become the father of Nahor, Serug lived 200 years and had other sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ نَاحُورُ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً وَوَلَدَ تَارَحَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
When Nahor was 29 years old, he became the father of Terah.
| وَعَاشَ نَاحُورُ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ تَارَحَ مِئَةً وَتِسْعَ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And after he had become the father of Terah, Nahor lived 119 years and had other sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ تَارَحُ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً، وَوَلَدَ أَبْرَامَ وَنَاحُورَ وَهَارَانَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
When Terah was 70 years old, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
| وَهَذِهِ مَوَالِيدُ تَارَحَ: وَلَدَ تَارَحُ أَبْرَامَ وَنَاحُورَ وَهَارَانَ. وَوَلَدَ هَارَانُ لُوطًا. | ٢٧ 27 |
This is the account of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.
| وَمَاتَ هَارَانُ قَبْلَ تَارَحَ أَبِيهِ فِي أَرْضِ مِيلَادِهِ فِي أُورِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
During his father Terah’s lifetime, Haran died in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans.
| وَٱتَّخَذَ أَبْرَامُ وَنَاحُورُ لِأَنْفُسِهِمَا ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ: ٱسْمُ ٱمْرَأَةِ أَبْرَامَ سَارَايُ، وَٱسْمُ ٱمْرَأَةِ نَاحُورَ مِلْكَةُ بِنْتُ هَارَانَ، أَبِي مِلْكَةَ وَأَبِي يِسْكَةَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. Abram’s wife was named Sarai, and Nahor’s wife was named Milcah; she was the daughter of Haran, who was the father of both Milcah and Iscah.
| وَكَانَتْ سَارَايُ عَاقِرًا لَيْسَ لَهَا وَلَدٌ. | ٣٠ 30 |
But Sarai was barren; she had no children.
| وَأَخَذَ تَارَحُ أَبْرَامَ ٱبْنَهُ، وَلُوطًا بْنَ هَارَانَ، ٱبْنَ ٱبْنِهِ، وَسَارَايَ كَنَّتَهُ ٱمْرَأَةَ أَبْرَامَ ٱبْنِهِ، فَخَرَجُوا مَعًا مِنْ أُورِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لِيَذْهَبُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. فَأَتَوْا إِلَى حَارَانَ وَأَقَامُوا هُنَاكَ. | ٣١ 31 |
And Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai the wife of Abram, and they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans for the land of Canaan. But when they arrived in Haran, they settled there.
| وَكَانَتْ أَيَّامُ تَارَحَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسَ سِنِينَ. وَمَاتَ تَارَحُ فِي حَارَانَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
