< Genesis 11 >

1 Then the whole earth was of one language and one speache.
وَكَانَ أَهْلُ الأَرْضِ جَمِيعاً يَتَكَلَّمُونَ أَوَّلاً بِلِسَانٍ وَاحِدٍ وَلُغَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ.١
2 And as they went from the East, they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and there they abode.
وَإِذِ ارْتَحَلُوا شَرْقاً وَجَدُوا سَهْلاً فِي أَرْضِ شِنْعَارَ فَاسْتَوْطَنُوا هُنَاكَ.٢
3 And they said one to another, Come, let vs make bricke, and burne it in the fire. So they had bricke for stone, and slime had they in steade of morter.
فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «لِنَصْنَعْ طُوباً مَشْوِيًّا أَحْسَنَ شَيٍّ». فَاسْتَخْدَمُوا الطُّوبَ بَدِيلاً لِلْحِجَارَةِ بِالطُّوبِ، وِالْحُمْرَ بَدِيلاً للطِّينِ.٣
4 Also they said, Goe to, let vs builde vs a citie and a towre, whose top may reache vnto the heauen, that we may get vs a name, lest we be scattered vpon the whole earth.
ثُمَّ قَالُوا: «لِنُشَيِّدْ لأَنْفُسِنَا مَدِينَةً وَبُرْجاً يَبْلُغُ رَأْسُهُ السَّمَاءَ، فَنُخَلِّدَ لَنَا اسْماً لِئَلّا نَتَشَتَّتَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا».٤
5 But the Lord came downe, to see the citie and towre, which the sonnes of men builded.
وَنَزَلَ الرَّبُّ لِيَشْهَدَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَالْبُرْجَ اللَّذَيْنِ شَرَعَ بَنُو الْبَشَرِ فِي بِنَائِهِمَا.٥
6 And the Lord said, Beholde, the people is one, and they all haue one language, and this they begin to doe, neither can they now be stopped from whatsoeuer they haue imagined 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 on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache.
هَيَّا نَنْزِلْ إِلَيْهِمْ وَنُبَلْبِلْ لِسَانَهُمْ، حَتَّى لَا يَفْهَمَ بَعْضُهُمْ كَلامَ بَعْضٍ».٧
8 So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie.
وَهَكَذَا شَتَّتَهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى سَطْحِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا، فَكَفُّوا عَنْ بِنَاءِ الْمَدِينَةِ،٨
9 Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because the Lord did there confounde the language of all the earth: from thence then did the Lord scatter them vpon 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 an hundreth yeere olde, and begate Arpachshad two yeere after the flood.
وَهَذَا سِجِلُّ مَوَالِيدِ سَامٍ. لَمَّا كَانَ سَامٌ ابْنَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ وَلَدَ أَرْفَكْشَادَ بَعْدَ الطُّوفَانِ بِسَنَتَيْنِ.١٠
11 And Shem liued, after he begate Arpachshad, fiue hundreth yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
وَعَاشَ سَامٌ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ خَمْسَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ.١١
12 Also Arpachshad liued fiue and thirtie yeeres, and begate Shelah.
وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَ أَرْفَكْشَادُ خَمْساً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً مِنَ الْعُمْرِ وَلَدَ شَالَحَ.١٢
13 And Arpachshad liued, after he begate Shelah, foure hundreth and three yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
وَعَاشَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاثَ سَنَوَاتٍ، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ.١٣
14 And Shelah liued thirtie yeeres, and begat Eber.
وَكَانَ شَالَحُ فِي الثَّلاثِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَ عَابِرَ.١٤
15 So Shelah liued, after he begat Eber, foure hundreth and three yeeres, and begat sonnes and daughters.
وَعَاشَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاثَ سَنَوَاتٍ، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ.١٥
16 Likewise Eber liued foure and thirtie yeres, and begate Peleg.
وَكَانَ عُمْرُ عَابِرَ أَرْبَعاً وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَ فَالَجَ.١٦
17 So Eber liued, after he begate Peleg, foure hundreth and thirtie yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters
وَعَاشَ عَابِرُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ.١٧
18 And Peleg liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Reu.
وَكَانَ عُمْرُ فَالَجَ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَ رَعُوَ.١٨
19 And Peleg liued, after he begate Reu, two hundreth and nine yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
وَعَاشَ فَالَجُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَتِسْعَ سِنِينَ وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ.١٩
20 Also Reu liued two and thirtie yeeres, and begate Serug.
وَكَانَ عُمْرُ رَعُوَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَ سَرُوجَ.٢٠
21 So Reu liued, after he begate Serug, two hundreth and seuen yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
وَعَاشَ رَعُو بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعَ سِنِينَ، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ.٢١
22 Moreouer Serug liued thirtie yeeres, and begate Nahor.
وَكَانَ عُمْرُ سَرُوجَ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَ نَاحُورَ.٢٢
23 And Serug liued, after he begate Nahor, two hundreth yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.
وَعَاشَ سَرُوجُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِئَتَيْ سَنَةٍ، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ.٢٣
24 And Nahor liued nine and twentie yeeres, and begate Terah.
وَكَانَ عُمْرُ نَاحُورَ تِسْعاً وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً عِنْدَمَا وَلَدَ تَارَحَ.٢٤
25 So Nahor liued, after he begate Terah, an hundreth and nineteene yeeres, and begat sonnes and daughters.
وَعَاشَ نَاحُورُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِئَةً وَتِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، وُلِدَ لَهُ فِيهَا بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ.٢٥
26 So Terah liued seuentie yeeres, and begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
وَعِنْدَمَا بَلَغَ تَارَحُ السَّبْعِينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ أَنْجَبَ أَبْرَامَ وَنَاحُورَ وَهَارَانَ.٢٦
27 Nowe these are the generations of Terah: Terah begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran: and Haran begate Lot.
وَهَذَا هُوَ سِجِلُّ مَوَالِيدِ تَارَحَ: وَلَدَ تَارَحُ أَبْرَامَ وَنَاحُورَ وَهَارَانَ. وَوَلَدَ هَارَانُ لُوطاً.٢٧
28 Then Haran died before Terah his father in the land of his natiuitie, in Vr of the Caldees.
وَمَاتَ هَارَانُ قَبْلَ تَارَحَ أَبِيهِ فِي أَرْضِ مَوْلِدِهِ فِي أُورِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ.٢٨
29 So Abram and Nahor tooke them wiues. The name of Abrams wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahors 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 But Sarai was barren, and had no childe.
وَكَانَتْ سَارَايُ عَاقِراً لَيْسَ لَهَا وَلَدٌ.٣٠
31 Then Terah tooke Abram his sonne, and Lot the sonne of Haran, his sonnes sonne, and Sarai his daughter in lawe, his sonne Abrams wife: and they departed together from Vr of the Caldees, to goe 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 So the dayes of Terah were two hundreth and fiue yeeres, and Terah died in Haran.
لَكِنَّهُمْ وَصَلُوا إِلَى حَارَانَ وَاسْتَقَرُّوا فِيهَا. وَهُنَاكَ مَاتَ تَارَحُ وَلَهُ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ مِئَتَانِ وَخَمْسُ سِنِينَ.٣٢
