Genesis 2
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
| وَهَكَذَا اكْتَمَلَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ بِكُلِّ مَا فِيهَا. | ١ |
2 And by the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work.
| وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ أَتَمَّ اللهُ عَمَلَهُ الَّذِي قَامَ بِهِ، فَاسْتَرَاحَ فِيهِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مَا عَمِلَهُ. | ٢ |
3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on that day He rested from all the work of creation that He had accomplished.
| وَبَارَكَ اللهُ الْيَوْمَ السَّابِعَ وَقَدَّسَهُ، لأَنَّهُ اسْتَرَاحَ فِيهِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَعْمَالِ الْخَلْقِ. | ٣ |
4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.
| هَذَا وَصْفٌ مَبْدَئِيٌّ لِلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَهَا الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ. | ٤ |
5 Now no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth, nor had any plant of the field sprouted; for the LORD God had not yet sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.
| 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 |
6 But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
| إلَّا أَنَّ ضَبَاباً كَانَ يَتَصَاعَدُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ فَيَسْقِي سَطْحَهَا كُلَّهُ. | ٦ |
7 Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.
| ثُمَّ جَبَلَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ آدَمَ مِنْ تُرَابِ الأَرْضِ وَنَفَخَ فِي أَنْفِهِ نَسَمَةَ حَيَاةٍ، فَصَارَ آدَمُ نَفْساً حَيَّةً. | ٧ |
8 And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.
| وَأَقَامَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ جَنَّةً فِي شَرْقِيِّ عَدْنٍ وَوَضَعَ فِيهَا آدَمَ الَّذِي جَبَلَهُ. | ٨ |
9 Out of the ground the LORD God gave growth to every tree that is pleasing to the eye and good for food. And in the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
| وَاستَنْبَتَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ كُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ بَهِيَّةٍ لِلنَّظَرِ، وَلَذِيذَةٍ لِلأَكْلِ، وَغَرَسَ أَيْضاً شَجَرَةَ الْحَيَاةِ، وَشَجَرَةَ مَعْرِفَةِ الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ فِي وَسَطِ الْجَنَّةِ. | ٩ |
10 Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:
| وَكَانَ نَهْرٌ يَجْرِي فِي عَدْنٍ لِيَسْقِيَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَمَا يَلْبَثُ أَنْ يَنْقَسِمَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَنْهارٍ: | ١٠ |
11 The name of the first river is Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
| الأَوَّلُ مِنْهَا يُدْعَى فِيشُونَ، الَّذِي يَلْتَفُّ حَوْلَ كُلِّ الْحَوِيلَةِ حَيْثُ يُوْجَدُ الذَّهَبُ. | ١١ |
12 And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.
| وَذَهَبُ تِلْكَ الأَرْضِ جَيِّدٌ، وَفِيهَا أَيْضاً الْمُقْلُ وَحَجَرُ الْجَزْعِ. | ١٢ |
13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it winds through the whole land of Cush.
| وَالنَّهْرُ الثَّانِي يُدْعَى جِيحُونَ الَّذِي يُحِيطُ بِجَمِيعِ أَرْضِ كُوشٍ. | ١٣ |
14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it runs along the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
| وَالنَّهْرُ الثَّالِثُ يُدْعَى حِدَّاقِلَ وَهُوَ الْجَارِي فِي شَرْقِيِّ أَشُّورَ. وَالنَّهْرُ الرَّابِعُ هُوَ الْفُرَاتُ. | ١٤ |
15 Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
| وَأَخَذَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ آدَمَ وَوَضَعَهُ فِي جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ لِيَفْلَحَهَا وَيَعْتَنِيَ بِها. | ١٥ |
16 And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,
| وَأَمَرَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ آدَمَ قَائِلا: «كُلْ مَا تَشَاءُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَشْجَارِ الْجَنَّةِ، | ١٦ |
17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”
| وَلَكِنْ إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ مِنْ شَجَرَةِ مَعْرِفَةِ الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ لأَنَّكَ حِينَ تَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا حَتْماً تَمُوت». | ١٧ |
18 The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”
| ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ: «لَيْسَ جَيِّداً أَنْ يَبْقَى آدَمُ وَحِيداً. سَأَصْنَعُ لَهُ مُعِيناً مُشَابِهاً لَهُ». | ١٨ |
19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and He brought them to the man to see what he would name each one. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
| 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 |
20 The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.
| وَهَكَذَا أَطْلَقَ آدَمُ أَسْمَاءَ عَلَى كُلِّ الطُّيُورِ وَالْحَيَوَانَاتِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ. غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَجِدْ لِنَفْسِهِ مُعِيناً مُشَابِهاً لَهُ. | ٢٠ |
21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the area with flesh.
| فَأَوْقَعَ الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ آدَمَ فِي نَوْمٍ عَمِيقٍ، ثُمَّ تَنَاوَلَ ضِلْعاً مِنْ أَضْلَاعِهِ وَسَدَّ مَكَانَهَا بِاللَّحْمِ، | ٢١ |
22 And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.
| وَعَمِلَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الضِّلْعِ امْرَأَةً أَحْضَرَهَا إِلَى آدَمَ. | ٢٢ |
23 And the man said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for out of man she was taken.”
| فَقَالَ آدَمُ: «هَذِهِ الآنَ عَظْمٌ مِنْ عِظَامِي وَلَحْمٌ مِنْ لَحْمِي. فَهِيَ تُدْعَى امْرَأَةً لأَنَّهَا مِنِ امْرِئٍ أُخِذَتْ». | ٢٣ |
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
| لِهَذَا، فَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَتْرُكُ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ وَيَلْتَصِقُ بِامْرَأَتِهِ، وَيَصِيرَانِ جَسَداً وَاحِداً. | ٢٤ |
25 And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
| وَكَانَ آدَمُ وَامْرَأَتُهُ عُرْيَانَيْنِ، وَلَمْ يَخْجَلَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ. | ٢٥ |
