تكوين 2
| وَهَكَذَا اكْتَمَلَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ بِكُلِّ مَا فِيهَا. | ١ 1 |
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ أَتَمَّ اللهُ عَمَلَهُ الَّذِي قَامَ بِهِ، فَاسْتَرَاحَ فِيهِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مَا عَمِلَهُ. | ٢ 2 |
And on the sixth day God finished his works which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his works which he had made.
| وَبَارَكَ اللهُ الْيَوْمَ السَّابِعَ وَقَدَّسَهُ، لأَنَّهُ اسْتَرَاحَ فِيهِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْمَالِ الْخَلْقِ. | ٣ 3 |
So God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested on it from all his works which God had created and made.
| هَذَا وَصْفٌ مَبْدَئِيٌّ لِلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَهَا الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ. | ٤ 4 |
This is the account of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, at the time when God made the earth and the heavens.
| وَلَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ نَبَتَ بَعْدُ فِي الأَرْضِ شَجَرٌ بَرِّيٌّ وَلَا عُشْبٌ بَرِّيٌّ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ الإِلَهَ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ أَرْسَلَ مَطَراً عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ هُنَاكَ إِنْسَانٌ لِيَفْلَحَهَا، | ٥ 5 |
Now no bush of the field was yet in the land, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted; for God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there were no people to cultivate the ground,
| إلَّا أَنَّ ضَبَاباً كَانَ يَتَصَاعَدُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ فَيَسْقِي سَطْحَهَا كُلَّهُ. | ٦ 6 |
but springs came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
| ثُمَّ جَبَلَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ آدَمَ مِنْ تُرَابِ الأَرْضِ وَنَفَخَ فِي أَنْفِهِ نَسَمَةَ حَيَاةٍ، فَصَارَ آدَمُ نَفْساً حَيَّةً. | ٧ 7 |
And God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
| وَأَقَامَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ جَنَّةً فِي شَرْقِيِّ عَدْنٍ وَوَضَعَ فِيهَا آدَمَ الَّذِي جَبَلَهُ. | ٨ 8 |
And God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
| وَاستَنْبَتَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ كُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ بَهِيَّةٍ لِلنَّظَرِ، وَلَذِيذَةٍ لِلأَكْلِ، وَغَرَسَ أَيْضاً شَجَرَةَ الْحَيَاةِ، وَشَجَرَةَ مَعْرِفَةِ الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ فِي وَسَطِ الْجَنَّةِ. | ٩ 9 |
And out of the ground God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
| وَكَانَ نَهْرٌ يَجْرِي فِي عَدْنٍ لِيَسْقِيَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَمَا يَلْبَثُ أَنْ يَنْقَسِمَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَنْهارٍ: | ١٠ 10 |
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it separated and became the source of four rivers.
| الأَوَّلُ مِنْهَا يُدْعَى فِيشُونَ، الَّذِي يَلْتَفُّ حَوْلَ كُلِّ الْحَوِيلَةِ حَيْثُ يُوْجَدُ الذَّهَبُ. | ١١ 11 |
The name of the first is Pishon; this is the one which goes around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
| وَذَهَبُ تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ جَيِّدٌ، وَفِيهَا أَيْضاً الْمُقْلُ وَحَجَرُ الْجَزْعِ. | ١٢ 12 |
and the gold of that land is good. There is aromatic resin and the onyx stone.
| وَالنَّهْرُ الثَّانِي يُدْعَى جِيحُونَ الَّذِي يُحِيطُ بِجَمِيعِ أَرْضِ كُوشٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
And the name of the second river is Gihon; it goes around the whole land of Cush.
| وَالنَّهْرُ الثَّالِثُ يُدْعَى حِدَّاقِلَ وَهُوَ الْجَارِي فِي شَرْقِيِّ أَشُّورَ. وَالنَّهْرُ الرَّابِعُ هُوَ الْفُرَاتُ. | ١٤ 14 |
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel; this is the one which flows east of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Perath.
| وَأَخَذَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ آدَمَ وَوَضَعَهُ فِي جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ لِيَفْلَحَهَا وَيَعْتَنِيَ بِها. | ١٥ 15 |
And God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and take care of it.
| وَأَمَرَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ آدَمَ قَائِلا: «كُلْ مَا تَشَاءُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَشْجَارِ الْجَنَّةِ، | ١٦ 16 |
And God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
| وَلَكِنْ إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ مِنْ شَجَرَةِ مَعْرِفَةِ الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ لأَنَّكَ حِينَ تَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا حَتْماً تَمُوت». | ١٧ 17 |
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die."
| ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ: «لَيْسَ جَيِّداً أَنْ يَبْقَى آدَمُ وَحِيداً. سَأَصْنَعُ لَهُ مُعِيناً مُشَابِهاً لَهُ». | ١٨ 18 |
And God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."
| وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ قَدْ جَبَلَ مِنَ التُّرَابِ كُلَّ وُحُوشِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ وَطُيُورِ الْفَضَاءِ وَأَحْضَرَهَا إِلَى آدَمَ لِيَرَى بِأَيِّ أَسْمَاءَ يَدْعُوهَا، فَصَارَ كُلُّ اسْمٍ أَطْلَقَهُ آدَمُ عَلَى كُلِّ مَخْلُوقٍ حَيٍّ اسْماً لَهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
And out of the ground God formed every tame animal, and every wild animal, and every flying creature of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
| وَهَكَذَا أَطْلَقَ آدَمُ أَسْمَاءَ عَلَى كُلِّ الطُّيُورِ وَالْحَيَوَانَاتِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ. غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَجِدْ لِنَفْسِهِ مُعِيناً مُشَابِهاً لَهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And the man gave names to all the tame animals, and to all the flying creatures of the sky, and to every wild animal; but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.
| فَأَوْقَعَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ آدَمَ فِي نَوْمٍ عَمِيقٍ، ثُمَّ تَنَاوَلَ ضِلْعاً مِنْ أَضْلَاعِهِ وَسَدَّ مَكَانَهَا بِاللَّحْمِ، | ٢١ 21 |
So God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh at that place.
| وَعَمِلَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الضِّلْعِ امْرَأَةً أَحْضَرَهَا إِلَى آدَمَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And the rib that God had taken from the man he fashioned into a woman and brought her to the man.
| فَقَالَ آدَمُ: «هَذِهِ الآنَ عَظْمٌ مِنْ عِظَامِي وَلَحْمٌ مِنْ لَحْمِي. فَهِيَ تُدْعَى امْرَأَةً لأَنَّهَا مِنِ امْرِئٍ أُخِذَتْ». | ٢٣ 23 |
And the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because this one was taken out of Man."
| لِهَذَا، فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَتْرُكُ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ وَيَلْتَصِقُ بِامْرَأَتِهِ، وَيَصِيرَانِ جَسَداً وَاحِداً. | ٢٤ 24 |
Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
| وَكَانَ آدَمُ وَامْرَأَتُهُ عُرْيَانَيْنِ، وَلَمْ يَخْجَلَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
