< تكوين 11 >

وَكَانَ أَهْلُ الأَرْضِ جَمِيعاً يَتَكَلَّمُونَ أَوَّلاً بِلِسَانٍ وَاحِدٍ وَلُغَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ. ١ 1
And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
وَإِذِ ارْتَحَلُوا شَرْقاً وَجَدُوا سَهْلاً فِي أَرْضِ شِنْعَارَ فَاسْتَوْطَنُوا هُنَاكَ. ٢ 2
And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «لِنَصْنَعْ طُوباً مَشْوِيًّا أَحْسَنَ شَيٍّ». فَاسْتَخْدَمُوا الطُّوبَ بَدِيلاً لِلْحِجَارَةِ بِالطُّوبِ، وِالْحُمْرَ بَدِيلاً للطِّينِ. ٣ 3
And they said one to another: 'Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly.' And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
ثُمَّ قَالُوا: «لِنُشَيِّدْ لأَنْفُسِنَا مَدِينَةً وَبُرْجاً يَبْلُغُ رَأْسُهُ السَّمَاءَ، فَنُخَلِّدَ لَنَا اسْماً لِئَلّا نَتَشَتَّتَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا». ٤ 4
And they said: 'Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, with its top in heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.'
وَنَزَلَ الرَّبُّ لِيَشْهَدَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَالْبُرْجَ اللَّذَيْنِ شَرَعَ بَنُو الْبَشَرِ فِي بِنَائِهِمَا. ٥ 5
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
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
And the LORD said: 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do; and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.
هَيَّا نَنْزِلْ إِلَيْهِمْ وَنُبَلْبِلْ لِسَانَهُمْ، حَتَّى لَا يَفْهَمَ بَعْضُهُمْ كَلامَ بَعْضٍ». ٧ 7
Come, let us go down, and there confound 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 thence upon the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city.
لِذَلِكَ سُمِّيَتِ الْمَدِينَةُ «بَابِلَ» لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ بَلْبَلَ لِسَانَ أَهْلِ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ، وَبِالتَّالِي شَتَّتَهُمْ مِنْ هُنَاكَ فِي أَرْجَاءِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا. ٩ 9
Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth; and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
وَهَذَا سِجِلُّ مَوَالِيدِ سَامٍ. لَمَّا كَانَ سَامٌ ابْنَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ وَلَدَ أَرْفَكْشَادَ بَعْدَ الطُّوفَانِ بِسَنَتَيْنِ. ١٠ 10
These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arpachshad two years after the flood.
وَعَاشَ سَامٌ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ خَمْسَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. ١١ 11
And Shem lived after he begot Arpachshad five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.
وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَ أَرْفَكْشَادُ خَمْساً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً مِنَ الْعُمْرِ وَلَدَ شَالَحَ. ١٢ 12
And Arpachshad lived five and thirty years, and begot Shelah.
وَعَاشَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاثَ سَنَوَاتٍ، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. ١٣ 13
And Arpachshad lived after he begot Shelah four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters.
وَكَانَ شَالَحُ فِي الثَّلاثِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَ عَابِرَ. ١٤ 14
And Shelah lived thirty years, and begot Eber.
وَعَاشَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاثَ سَنَوَاتٍ، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. ١٥ 15
And Shelah lived after he begot Eber four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters.
وَكَانَ عُمْرُ عَابِرَ أَرْبَعاً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَ فَالَجَ. ١٦ 16
And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begot Peleg.
وَعَاشَ عَابِرُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. ١٧ 17
And Eber lived after he begot Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters.
وَكَانَ عُمْرُ فَالَجَ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَ رَعُوَ. ١٨ 18
And Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu.
وَعَاشَ فَالَجُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَتِسْعَ سِنِينَ وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. ١٩ 19
And Peleg lived after he begot Reu two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters.
وَكَانَ عُمْرُ رَعُوَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَ سَرُوجَ. ٢٠ 20
And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begot Serug.
وَعَاشَ رَعُو بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعَ سِنِينَ، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. ٢١ 21
And Reu lived after he begot Serug two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters.
وَكَانَ عُمْرُ سَرُوجَ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَ نَاحُورَ. ٢٢ 22
And Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor.
وَعَاشَ سَرُوجُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِئَتَيْ سَنَةٍ، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. ٢٣ 23
And Serug lived after he begot Nahor two hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.
وَكَانَ عُمْرُ نَاحُورَ تِسْعاً وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَ تَارَحَ. ٢٤ 24
And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begot Terah.
وَعَاشَ نَاحُورُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِئَةً وَتِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. ٢٥ 25
And Nahor lived after he begot Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begot sons and daughters.
وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَ تَارَحُ السَّبْعِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ أَنْجَبَ أَبْرَامَ وَنَاحُورَ وَهَارَانَ. ٢٦ 26
And Terah lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
وَهَذَا هُوَ سِجِلُّ مَوَالِيدِ تَارَحَ: وَلَدَ تَارَحُ أَبْرَامَ وَنَاحُورَ وَهَارَانَ. وَوَلَدَ هَارَانُ لُوطاً. ٢٧ 27
Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begot Lot.
وَمَاتَ هَارَانُ قَبْلَ تَارَحَ أَبِيهِ فِي أَرْضِ مَوْلِدِهِ فِي أُورِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. ٢٨ 28
And Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
وَتَزَوَّجَ كُلٌّ مِنْ أَبْرَامَ وَنَاحُورَ. وَكَانَ اسْمُ زَوْجَةِ أَبْرَامَ سَارَايَ، وَاسْمُ زَوْجَةِ نَاحُورَ مِلْكَةَ بِنْتَ هَارَانَ الَّذِي أَنْجَبَ مِلْكَةَ وَيِسْكَةَ. ٢٩ 29
And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
وَكَانَتْ سَارَايُ عَاقِراً لَيْسَ لَهَا وَلَدٌ. ٣٠ 30
And 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
And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
لَكِنَّهُمْ وَصَلُوا إِلَى حَارَانَ وَاسْتَقَرُّوا فِيهَا. وَهُنَاكَ مَاتَ تَارَحُ وَلَهُ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ مِئَتَانِ وَخَمْسُ سِنِينَ. ٣٢ 32
And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran.
