< تكوين 9 >

وَبَارَكَ اللهُ نُوحاً وَأَبْنَاءَهُ قَائِلاً لَهُمْ: «أَثْمِرُوا وَتَكَاثَرُوا وَامْلَأُوا الأَرْضَ، ١ 1
Then God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth.
لِتَخْشَكُمْ وَتَرْهَبْكُمْ كُلُّ حَيَوَانَاتِ الأَرْضِ وَطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ، وَكُلُّ مَا يَتَحَرَّكُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَسَمَكُ الْبَحْرِ، فَإِنَّهَا كُلَّهَا قَدْ أَصْبَحَتْ خَاضِعَةً لَكُمْ. ٢ 2
The fear of you and the dread of you will be upon every living animal on the earth, upon every bird of the sky, upon everything that goes low on the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand.
وَلْيَكُنْ كُلُّ حَيٍّ مُتَحَرِّكٍ طَعَاماً لَكُمْ، فَتَأْكُلُونَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ كَمَا تَأْكُلُونَ الْبُقُولَ الْخَضْرَاءَ الَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ. ٣ 3
Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
وَلَكِنْ لَا تَأْكُلُوا لَحْماً بِدَمِهِ. ٤ 4
But you must not eat meat with its life—that is its blood—in it.
وَأُطَالِبُ أَنَا بِدَمِكُمْ لأَنْفُسِكُمْ. مِنْ يَدِ كُلِّ حَيَوَانٍ أُطَالِبُ بِهِ، وَمِنْ يَدِ الإِنْسَانِ أَيْضاً أُطَالِبُ الأَخَ بِنَفْسِ أَخِيهِ الإِنْسَانِ. ٥ 5
But for your blood, the life that is in your blood, I will require payment. From the hand of every animal I will require it. From the hand of any man, that is, from the hand of one who has murdered his brother, I will require an accounting for the life of that man.
فَسَافِكُ دَمِ الإِنْسَانِ يُحْكَمُ عَلَيْهِ بِسَفْكِ دَمِهِ لأَنَّ اللهَ خَلَقَ الإِنْسَانَ عَلَى صُورَتِهِ. ٦ 6
Whoever sheds man's blood, by man will his blood be shed, for it was in the image of God that he made man.
أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَأَثْمِرُوا وَتَكَاثَرُوا وَتَوَالَدُوا فِي الأَرْضِ». ٧ 7
As for you, be fruitful and multiply, spread throughout the earth and multiply on it.”
وَخَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ نُوحاً وَأَبْنَاءَهُ مَعَهُ قَائِلاً: ٨ 8
Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
«هَا أَنَا أقْطَعُ عَهْدِي مَعَكُمْ وَمَعْ ذُرِّيَّتِكُمْ، ٩ 9
“As for me, listen! I am going to confirm my covenant with you and with your descendants after you,
وَمَعْ جَمِيعِ الْمَخْلُوقَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ الَّتِي مَعَكُمْ، مِنْ طُيُورٍ وَبَهَائِمَ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ حَيَوَانَاتِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي خَرَجَتْ مَعَكُمْ مِنَ الْفُلْكِ، مَعْ كُلِّ الْمَخْلُوقَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ. ١٠ 10
and with every living creature that is with you, with the birds, the livestock, and every creature of the earth with you, from all that came out of the ark, to every living creature on the earth.
أقْطَعُ عَهْدِي مَعَكُمْ بِأَنْ لَا يُبِيدَ الطُّوفَانُ كُلَّ ذِي جَسَدٍ ثَانِيَةً، وَأَنْ لَا يَكُونَ هُنَاكَ طُوفَانٌ لِيَقْضِيَ عَلَى الْحَيَاةِ فِي الأَرْضِ». ١١ 11
I hereby confirm my covenant with you, that never again will all flesh be destroyed by the waters of a flood. Never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «وَهَذِهِ هِيَ عَلامَةُ الْعَهْدِ الأَبَدِيِّ الَّذِي أُقِيمُهُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْمَخْلُوقَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ الَّتِي مَعَكُمْ: ١٢ 12
God said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations:
أَضَعُ قَوْسِي فِي السَّحَابِ فَتَكُونُ عَلامَةَ عَهْدٍ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ الأَرْضِ. ١٣ 13
I have set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
فَيَكُونُ عِنْدَمَا أُخَيِّمُ بِالسَّحَابِ فَوْقَ الأَرْضِ، وَتَظْهَرُ الْقَوْسُ، ١٤ 14
It will come about when I bring a cloud over the earth and the rainbow is seen in the cloud,
أَنِّي أَذْكُرُ عَهْدِي الَّذِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ الْمَخْلُوقَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ مِنْ ذَوَاتِ الْجَسَدِ، فَلا تَتَحَوَّلُ الْمِيَاهُ إِلَى طُوفَانٍ يُبِيدُ كُلَّ حَيَاةٍ. ١٥ 15
then I will call to mind my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. The waters will never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.
وَتَكُونُ الْقَوْسُ فِي السَّحَابِ، فَأُبْصِرُهَا، وَأَذْكُرُ الْعَهْدَ الأَبَدِيَّ الْمَقْطُوعَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ جَمِيعِ الْمَخْلُوقَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ». ١٦ 16
The rainbow will be in the clouds and I will see it, in order to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
وَقَالَ اللهُ لِنُوحٍ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ عَلامَةُ الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي قَطَعْتُهُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ حَيٍّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ». ١٧ 17
Then God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have confirmed between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
أَمَّا أَبْنَاءُ نُوحٍ الَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا مَعَهُ مِنَ الْفُلْكِ فَكَانُوا: سَاماً وَحَاماً وَيَافَثَ. وَحَامٌ هُوَ أَبُو الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ. ١٨ 18
The sons of Noah that came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan.
هَؤُلاءِ كَانُوا أَبْنَاءَ نُوحٍ الثَّلاثَةَ الَّذِينَ تَفَرَّعَتْ مِنْهُمْ شُعُوبُ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا. ١٩ 19
These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.
وَاشْتَغَلَ نُوحٌ بِالْفِلاحَةِ وَغَرَسَ كَرْماً، ٢٠ 20
Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.
وَشَرِبَ مِنَ الْخَمْرِ فَسَكِرَ وَتَعَرَّى دَاخِلَ خَيْمَتِهِ، ٢١ 21
He drank some of the wine and became drunk. He was lying uncovered in his tent.
فَشَاهَدَ حَامٌ أَبُو الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ عُرْيَ أَبِيهِ، فَخَرَجَ وَأَخْبَرَ أَخَوَيْهِ اللَّذَيْنِ كَانَا خَارِجاً. ٢٢ 22
Then Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside.
فَأَخَذَ سَامٌ وَيَافَثُ رِدَاءً وَوَضَعَاهُ عَلَى أَكْتَافِهِمَا وَمَشَيَا الْقَهْقَرِيَّ إِلَى دَاخِلِ الْخَيْمَةِ، وَسَتَرَا عُرْيَ أَبِيهِمَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَسْتَدِيرَا بِوَجْهَيْهِمَا نَحْوَهُ فَيُبْصِرَا عُرْيَهُ. ٢٣ 23
So Shem and Japheth took a robe and laid it upon both their shoulders, and walked backwards and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned the other way, so they did not see their father's nakedness.
وَعِنْدَمَا أَفَاقَ نُوحٌ مِنْ سُكْرِهِ وَعَلِمَ مَا فَعَلَهُ بِهِ ابْنُهُ الصَّغِيرُ ٢٤ 24
When Noah awoke from his wine, he learned what his youngest son had done to him.
قَالَ: «لِيَكُنْ كَنْعَانُ مَلْعُوناً، وَلْيَكُنْ عَبْدَ الْعَبِيدِ لإِخْوَتِهِ». ٢٥ 25
So he said, “Cursed be Canaan. May he be a servant to his brothers' servants.”
ثُمَّ قَالَ: «تَبَارَكَ اللهُ إِلَهُ سَامٍ. وَلْيَكُنْ كَنْعَانُ عَبْداً لَهُ. ٢٦ 26
He also said, “May Yahweh, the God of Shem, be blessed, and may Canaan be his servant.
لِيُوْسِعِ اللهُ لِيَافَثَ فَيَسْكُنَ فِي خِيَامِ سَامٍ. وَلْيَكُنْ كَنْعَانُ عَبْداً لَهُ». ٢٧ 27
May God extend the territory of Japheth, and let him make his home in the tents of Shem. May Canaan be his servant.”
وَعَاشَ نُوحٌ بَعْدَ الطُّوفَانِ ثَلاثَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، ٢٨ 28
After the flood, Noah lived three hundred fifty years.
ثُمَّ مَاتَ وَلَهُ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ تِسْعُ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسُونَ سَنَةً. ٢٩ 29
All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, and then he died.
