Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
| وَكَانَ أَهْلُ الأَرْضِ جَمِيعاً يَتَكَلَّمُونَ أَوَّلاً بِلِسَانٍ وَاحِدٍ وَلُغَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ. | ١ |
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
| وَإِذِ ارْتَحَلُوا شَرْقاً وَجَدُوا سَهْلاً فِي أَرْضِ شِنْعَارَ فَاسْتَوْطَنُوا هُنَاكَ. | ٢ |
3 And they said one to another, Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and they had slime for mortar.
| فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «لِنَصْنَعْ طُوباً مَشْوِيًّا أَحْسَنَ شَيٍّ». فَاسْتَخْدَمُوا الطُّوبَ بَدِيلاً لِلْحِجَارَةِ بِالطُّوبِ، وِالْحُمْرَ بَدِيلاً للطِّينِ. | ٣ |
4 And they said, Come, let us build a city for us, and a tower, and its top in the heavens. And let us make a name for us, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
| ثُمَّ قَالُوا: «لِنُشَيِّدْ لأَنْفُسِنَا مَدِينَةً وَبُرْجاً يَبْلُغُ رَأْسُهُ السَّمَاءَ، فَنُخَلِّدَ لَنَا اسْماً لِئَلّا نَتَشَتَّتَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا». | ٤ |
5 And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built.
| وَنَزَلَ الرَّبُّ لِيَشْهَدَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَالْبُرْجَ اللَّذَيْنِ شَرَعَ بَنُو الْبَشَرِ فِي بِنَائِهِمَا. | ٥ |
6 And Jehovah 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 withheld from them, which they propose to do.
| 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 |
7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand each other's speech.
| هَيَّا نَنْزِلْ إِلَيْهِمْ وَنُبَلْبِلْ لِسَانَهُمْ، حَتَّى لَا يَفْهَمَ بَعْضُهُمْ كَلامَ بَعْضٍ». | ٧ |
8 So Jehovah scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
| وَهَكَذَا شَتَّتَهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى سَطْحِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا، فَكَفُّوا عَنْ بِنَاءِ الْمَدِينَةِ، | ٨ |
9 Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because Jehovah there confounded the language of all the earth, and from there Jehovah scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
| لِذَلِكَ سُمِّيَتِ الْمَدِينَةُ «بَابِلَ» لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ بَلْبَلَ لِسَانَ أَهْلِ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ، وَبِالتَّالِي شَتَّتَهُمْ مِنْ هُنَاكَ فِي أَرْجَاءِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا. | ٩ |
10 These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old, and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood.
| وَهَذَا سِجِلُّ مَوَالِيدِ سَامٍ. لَمَّا كَانَ سَامٌ ابْنَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ وَلَدَ أَرْفَكْشَادَ بَعْدَ الطُّوفَانِ بِسَنَتَيْنِ. | ١٠ |
11 And Shem lived five hundred years after he begot Arphaxad, and begot sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ سَامٌ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ خَمْسَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. | ١١ |
12 And Arphaxad lived a hundred and thirty-five years, and begot Cainan.
| وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَ أَرْفَكْشَادُ خَمْساً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً مِنَ الْعُمْرِ وَلَدَ شَالَحَ. | ١٢ |
13 And Arphaxad lived after he had begotten Cainan, four hundred years, and begot sons and daughters, and died. And Cainan lived a hundred and thirty years and begot Shelah; and Cainan lived after he had begotten Shelah, three hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters, and died.
| وَعَاشَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاثَ سَنَوَاتٍ، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. | ١٣ |
14 And Shelah lived thirty years, and begot Eber.
| وَكَانَ شَالَحُ فِي الثَّلاثِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَ عَابِرَ. | ١٤ |
15 And Shelah lived four hundred and three years after he begot Eber, and begot sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاثَ سَنَوَاتٍ، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. | ١٥ |
16 And Eber lived thirty-four years, and begot Peleg.
| وَكَانَ عُمْرُ عَابِرَ أَرْبَعاً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَ فَالَجَ. | ١٦ |
17 And Eber lived four hundred and thirty years after he begot Peleg, and begot sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ عَابِرُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. | ١٧ |
18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu.
| وَكَانَ عُمْرُ فَالَجَ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَ رَعُوَ. | ١٨ |
19 And Peleg lived two hundred and nine years after he begot Reu, and begot sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ فَالَجُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَتِسْعَ سِنِينَ وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. | ١٩ |
20 And Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot Serug.
| وَكَانَ عُمْرُ رَعُوَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَ سَرُوجَ. | ٢٠ |
21 And Reu lived two hundred and seven years after he begot Serug, and begot sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ رَعُو بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعَ سِنِينَ، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. | ٢١ |
22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor.
| وَكَانَ عُمْرُ سَرُوجَ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَ نَاحُورَ. | ٢٢ |
23 And Serug lived two hundred years after he begot Nahor, and begot sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ سَرُوجُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِئَتَيْ سَنَةٍ، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. | ٢٣ |
24 And Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and begot Terah.
| وَكَانَ عُمْرُ نَاحُورَ تِسْعاً وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَ تَارَحَ. | ٢٤ |
25 And Nahor lived a hundred and nineteen years after he begot Terah, and begot sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ نَاحُورُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِئَةً وَتِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ. | ٢٥ |
26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
| وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَ تَارَحُ السَّبْعِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ أَنْجَبَ أَبْرَامَ وَنَاحُورَ وَهَارَانَ. | ٢٦ |
27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran begot Lot.
| وَهَذَا هُوَ سِجِلُّ مَوَالِيدِ تَارَحَ: وَلَدَ تَارَحُ أَبْرَامَ وَنَاحُورَ وَهَارَانَ. وَوَلَدَ هَارَانُ لُوطاً. | ٢٧ |
28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
| وَمَاتَ هَارَانُ قَبْلَ تَارَحَ أَبِيهِ فِي أَرْضِ مَوْلِدِهِ فِي أُورِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. | ٢٨ |
29 And Abram and Nahor took wives to themselves. 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.
| وَتَزَوَّجَ كُلٌّ مِنْ أَبْرَامَ وَنَاحُورَ. وَكَانَ اسْمُ زَوْجَةِ أَبْرَامَ سَارَايَ، وَاسْمُ زَوْجَةِ نَاحُورَ مِلْكَةَ بِنْتَ هَارَانَ الَّذِي أَنْجَبَ مِلْكَةَ وَيِسْكَةَ. | ٢٩ |
30 And Sarai was barren; she had no child.
| وَكَانَتْ سَارَايُ عَاقِراً لَيْسَ لَهَا وَلَدٌ. | ٣٠ |
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 to Haran, and dwelt there.
| وَأَخَذَ تَارَحُ ابْنَهُ أَبْرَامَ وَحَفِيدَهُ لُوطاً بْنَ هَارَانَ، وَسَارَايَ كَنَّتَهُ زَوْجَةَ ابْنِهِ أَبْرَامَ، وَارْتَحَلَ بِهِمْ مِنْ أُورِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لِيَذْهَبُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. | ٣١ |
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years, and Terah died in Haran.
| لَكِنَّهُمْ وَصَلُوا إِلَى حَارَانَ وَاسْتَقَرُّوا فِيهَا. وَهُنَاكَ مَاتَ تَارَحُ وَلَهُ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ مِئَتَانِ وَخَمْسُ سِنِينَ. | ٣٢ |
