اَلتَّكْوِينُ 8

١ 1 ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ ٱللهُ نُوحًا وَكُلَّ ٱلْوُحُوشِ وَكُلَّ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلَّتِي مَعَهُ فِي ٱلْفُلْكِ. وَأَجَازَ ٱللهُ رِيحًا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَهَدَأَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ.

And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged;

٢ 2 وَٱنْسَدَّتْ يَنَابِيعُ ٱلْغَمْرِ وَطَاقَاتُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، فَٱمْتَنَعَ ٱلْمَطَرُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ.

the fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

٣ 3 وَرَجَعَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ رُجُوعًا مُتَوَالِيًا. وَبَعْدَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ يَوْمًا نَقَصَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ،

and the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of an hundred and fifty days the waters decreased.

٤ 4 وَٱسْتَقَرَّ ٱلْفُلْكُ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ، فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، عَلَى جِبَالِ أَرَارَاطَ.

And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

٥ 5 وَكَانَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ تَنْقُصُ نَقْصًا مُتَوَالِيًا إِلَى ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ. وَفِي ٱلْعَاشِرِ فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، ظَهَرَتْ رُؤُوسُ ٱلْجِبَالِ.

And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

٦ 6 وَحَدَثَ مِنْ بَعْدِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا أَنَّ نُوحًا فَتَحَ طَاقَةَ ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَ قَدْ عَمِلَهَا

And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:

٧ 7 وَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْغُرَابَ، فَخَرَجَ مُتَرَدِّدًا حَتَّى نَشِفَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

and he sent forth a raven, and it went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

٨ 8 ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ ٱلْحَمَامَةَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ لِيَرَى هَلْ قَلَّتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ،

And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;

٩ 9 فَلَمْ تَجِدِ ٱلْحَمَامَةُ مَقَرًّا لِرِجْلِهَا، فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ لِأَنَّ مِيَاهًا كَانَتْ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ وَأَخَذَهَا وَأَدْخَلَهَا عِنْدَهُ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ.

but the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him to the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her in unto him into the ark.

١٠ 10 فَلَبِثَ أَيْضًا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ وَعَادَ فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْحَمَامَةَ مِنَ ٱلْفُلْكِ،

And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;

١١ 11 فَأَتَتْ إِلَيْهِ ٱلْحَمَامَةُ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ، وَإِذَا وَرَقَةُ زَيْتُونٍ خَضْرَاءُ فِي فَمِهَا. فَعَلِمَ نُوحٌ أَنَّ ٱلْمِيَاهَ قَدْ قَلَّتْ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

and the dove came in to him at eventide; and, lo, in her mouth an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

١٢ 12 فَلَبِثَ أَيْضًا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ وَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْحَمَامَةَ فَلَمْ تَعُدْ تَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ أَيْضًا.

And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; and she returned not again unto him any more.

١٣ 13 وَكَانَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ وَٱلسِّتِّ مِئَةٍ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، أَنَّ ٱلْمِيَاهَ نَشِفَتْ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. فَكَشَفَ نُوحٌ ٱلْغِطَاءَ عَنِ ٱلْفُلْكِ وَنَظَرَ، فَإِذَا وَجْهُ ٱلْأَرْضِ قَدْ نَشِفَ.

And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dried.

١٤ 14 وَفِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي، فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، جَفَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ.

And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dry.

١٥ 15 وَكَلَّمَ ٱللهُ نُوحًا قَائِلًا:

And God spake unto Noah, saying,

١٦ 16 «ٱخْرُجْ مِنَ ٱلْفُلْكِ أَنْتَ وَٱمْرَأَتُكَ وَبَنُوكَ وَنِسَاءُ بَنِيكَ مَعَكَ.

Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.

١٧ 17 وَكُلَّ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلَّتِي مَعَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ ذِي جَسَدٍ: ٱلطُّيُورِ، وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ، وَكُلَّ ٱلدَّبَّابَاتِ ٱلَّتِي تَدِبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، أَخْرِجْهَا مَعَكَ. وَلْتَتَوَالَدْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَتُثْمِرْ وَتَكْثُرْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ».

Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee of all flesh, both fowl, and cattle, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

١٨ 18 فَخَرَجَ نُوحٌ وَبَنُوهُ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ وَنِسَاءُ بَنِيهِ مَعَهُ.

And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him:

١٩ 19 وَكُلُّ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ، كُلُّ ٱلدَّبَّابَاتِ، وَكُلُّ ٱلطُّيُورِ، كُلُّ مَا يَدِبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، كَأَنْوَاعِهَا خَرَجَتْ مِنَ ٱلْفُلْكِ.

every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, whatsoever moveth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark.

٢٠ 20 وَبَنَى نُوحٌ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ. وَأَخَذَ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلطَّاهِرَةِ وَمِنْ كُلِّ ٱلطُّيُورِ ٱلطَّاهِرَةِ وَأَصْعَدَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ،

And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

٢١ 21 فَتَنَسَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ رَائِحَةَ ٱلرِّضَا. وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي قَلْبِهِ: «لَا أَعُودُ أَلْعَنُ ٱلْأَرْضَ أَيْضًا مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، لِأَنَّ تَصَوُّرَ قَلْبِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ شِرِّيرٌ مُنْذُ حَدَاثَتِهِ. وَلَا أَعُودُ أَيْضًا أُمِيتُ كُلَّ حَيٍّ كَمَا فَعَلْتُ.

And the LORD smelled the sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake, for that the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

٢٢ 22 مُدَّةَ كُلِّ أَيَّامِ ٱلْأَرْضِ: زَرْعٌ وَحَصَادٌ، وَبَرْدٌ وَحَرٌّ، وَصَيْفٌ وَشِتَاءٌ، وَنَهَارٌ وَلَيْلٌ، لَا تَزَالُ».

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
