تكوين 11
| وَكَانَ أَهْلُ الأَرْضِ جَمِيعاً يَتَكَلَّمُونَ أَوَّلاً بِلِسَانٍ وَاحِدٍ وَلُغَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ. | ١ 1 |
The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
| وَإِذِ ارْتَحَلُوا شَرْقاً وَجَدُوا سَهْلاً فِي أَرْضِ شِنْعَارَ فَاسْتَوْطَنُوا هُنَاكَ. | ٢ 2 |
As they traveled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.
| فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «لِنَصْنَعْ طُوباً مَشْوِيًّا أَحْسَنَ شَيٍّ». فَاسْتَخْدَمُوا الطُّوبَ بَدِيلاً لِلْحِجَارَةِ بِالطُّوبِ، وِالْحُمْرَ بَدِيلاً للطِّينِ. | ٣ 3 |
They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
| ثُمَّ قَالُوا: «لِنُشَيِّدْ لأَنْفُسِنَا مَدِينَةً وَبُرْجاً يَبْلُغُ رَأْسُهُ السَّمَاءَ، فَنُخَلِّدَ لَنَا اسْماً لِئَلّا نَتَشَتَّتَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا». | ٤ 4 |
They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”
| وَنَزَلَ الرَّبُّ لِيَشْهَدَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَالْبُرْجَ اللَّذَيْنِ شَرَعَ بَنُو الْبَشَرِ فِي بِنَائِهِمَا. | ٥ 5 |
The LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «إِنْ كَانُوا، كَشَعْبٍ وَاحِدٍ يَنْطِقُونَ بِلُغَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، قَدْ عَمِلُوا هَذَا مُنْذُ أَوَّلِ الأَمْرِ، فَلَنْ يَمْتَنِعَ إِذاً عَلَيْهِمْ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ عَزَمُوا عَلَى فِعْلِهِ. | ٦ 6 |
The LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.
| هَيَّا نَنْزِلْ إِلَيْهِمْ وَنُبَلْبِلْ لِسَانَهُمْ، حَتَّى لَا يَفْهَمَ بَعْضُهُمْ كَلامَ بَعْضٍ». | ٧ 7 |
Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
| وَهَكَذَا شَتَّتَهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى سَطْحِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا، فَكَفُّوا عَنْ بِنَاءِ الْمَدِينَةِ، | ٨ 8 |
So the LORD scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
| لِذَلِكَ سُمِّيَتِ الْمَدِينَةُ «بَابِلَ» لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ بَلْبَلَ لِسَانَ أَهْلِ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ، وَبِالتَّالِي شَتَّتَهُمْ مِنْ هُنَاكَ فِي أَرْجَاءِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا. | ٩ 9 |
Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. From there, the LORD scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
| وَهَذَا سِجِلُّ مَوَالِيدِ سَامٍ. لَمَّا كَانَ سَامٌ ابْنَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ وَلَدَ أَرْفَكْشَادَ بَعْدَ الطُّوفَانِ بِسَنَتَيْنِ. | ١٠ 10 |
This is the history of the generations of Shem: Shem was one hundred years old when he became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood.
| وَعَاشَ سَامٌ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ خَمْسَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. | ١١ 11 |
Shem lived five hundred years after he became the father of Arpachshad, and became the father of more sons and daughters.
| وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَ أَرْفَكْشَادُ خَمْساً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً مِنَ الْعُمْرِ وَلَدَ شَالَحَ. | ١٢ 12 |

| وَعَاشَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاثَ سَنَوَاتٍ، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. | ١٣ 13 |

| وَعَاشَ فَالَجُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَتِسْعَ سِنِينَ وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. | ١٩ 19 |
Peleg lived two hundred nine years after he became the father of Reu, and became the father of more sons and daughters.
| وَكَانَ عُمْرُ رَعُوَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَ سَرُوجَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Reu lived thirty-two years, and became the father of Serug.
| وَعَاشَ رَعُو بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعَ سِنِينَ، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. | ٢١ 21 |

Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and became the father of Terah.
| وَعَاشَ نَاحُورُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِئَةً وَتِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Nahor lived one hundred nineteen years after he became the father of Terah, and became the father of more sons and daughters.
| وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَ تَارَحُ السَّبْعِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ أَنْجَبَ أَبْرَامَ وَنَاحُورَ وَهَارَانَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
| وَهَذَا هُوَ سِجِلُّ مَوَالِيدِ تَارَحَ: وَلَدَ تَارَحُ أَبْرَامَ وَنَاحُورَ وَهَارَانَ. وَوَلَدَ هَارَانُ لُوطاً. | ٢٧ 27 |
Now this is the history of the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran became the father of Lot.
| وَمَاتَ هَارَانُ قَبْلَ تَارَحَ أَبِيهِ فِي أَرْضِ مَوْلِدِهِ فِي أُورِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Haran died in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees, while his father Terah was still alive.
| وَتَزَوَّجَ كُلٌّ مِنْ أَبْرَامَ وَنَاحُورَ. وَكَانَ اسْمُ زَوْجَةِ أَبْرَامَ سَارَايَ، وَاسْمُ زَوْجَةِ نَاحُورَ مِلْكَةَ بِنْتَ هَارَانَ الَّذِي أَنْجَبَ مِلْكَةَ وَيِسْكَةَ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Abram and Nahor married wives. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, who was also the father of Iscah.
| وَكَانَتْ سَارَايُ عَاقِراً لَيْسَ لَهَا وَلَدٌ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Sarai was barren. She had no child.
| وَأَخَذَ تَارَحُ ابْنَهُ أَبْرَامَ وَحَفِيدَهُ لُوطاً بْنَ هَارَانَ، وَسَارَايَ كَنَّتَهُ زَوْجَةَ ابْنِهِ أَبْرَامَ، وَارْتَحَلَ بِهِمْ مِنْ أُورِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لِيَذْهَبُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. | ٣١ 31 |
Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife. They went from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan. They came to Haran and lived there.
| لَكِنَّهُمْ وَصَلُوا إِلَى حَارَانَ وَاسْتَقَرُّوا فِيهَا. وَهُنَاكَ مَاتَ تَارَحُ وَلَهُ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ مِئَتَانِ وَخَمْسُ سِنِينَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
The days of Terah were two hundred five years. Terah died in Haran.
