Genesis 8

1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark: and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters were assuaged;

١ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ ٱللهُ نُوحًا وَكُلَّ ٱلْوُحُوشِ وَكُلَّ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلَّتِي مَعَهُ فِي ٱلْفُلْكِ. وَأَجَازَ ٱللهُ رِيحًا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَهَدَأَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ.

2 The fountains also of the deep, and the windows of heaven were stopped; and the rain from heaven was restrained.

٢ وَٱنْسَدَّتْ يَنَابِيعُ ٱلْغَمْرِ وَطَاقَاتُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، فَٱمْتَنَعَ ٱلْمَطَرُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ.

3 And the waters returned from off the earth, gradually returning; and the waters were abated after the end of the hundred and fifty days.

٣ وَرَجَعَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ رُجُوعًا مُتَوَالِيًا. وَبَعْدَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ يَوْمًا نَقَصَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ،

4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

٤ وَٱسْتَقَرَّ ٱلْفُلْكُ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ، فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، عَلَى جِبَالِ أَرَارَاطَ.

5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen;

٥ وَكَانَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ تَنْقُصُ نَقْصًا مُتَوَالِيًا إِلَى ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ. وَفِي ٱلْعَاشِرِ فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، ظَهَرَتْ رُؤُوسُ ٱلْجِبَالِ.

6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made;

٦ وَحَدَثَ مِنْ بَعْدِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا أَنَّ نُوحًا فَتَحَ طَاقَةَ ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَ قَدْ عَمِلَهَا

7 And he sent forth a raven which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

٧ وَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْغُرَابَ، فَخَرَجَ مُتَرَدِّدًا حَتَّى نَشِفَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

8 He then sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground.

٨ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ ٱلْحَمَامَةَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ لِيَرَى هَلْ قَلَّتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ،

9 But the dove found no resting-place for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him unto the ark; for there was water on the face of the whole earth; then he put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her into the ark.

٩ فَلَمْ تَجِدِ ٱلْحَمَامَةُ مَقَرًّا لِرِجْلِهَا، فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ لِأَنَّ مِيَاهًا كَانَتْ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ وَأَخَذَهَا وَأَدْخَلَهَا عِنْدَهُ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ.

10 And he stayed yet another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark.

١٠ فَلَبِثَ أَيْضًا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ وَعَادَ فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْحَمَامَةَ مِنَ ٱلْفُلْكِ،

11 And the dove came in to him at the time of the evening; and, lo, an olive-leaf plucked off was in her mouth; so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

١١ فَأَتَتْ إِلَيْهِ ٱلْحَمَامَةُ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ، وَإِذَا وَرَقَةُ زَيْتُونٍ خَضْرَاءُ فِي فَمِهَا. فَعَلِمَ نُوحٌ أَنَّ ٱلْمِيَاهَ قَدْ قَلَّتْ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

12 And he stayed yet other seven days, and sent forth the dove; but she returned not again unto him any more.

١٢ فَلَبِثَ أَيْضًا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ وَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْحَمَامَةَ فَلَمْ تَعُدْ تَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ أَيْضًا.

13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from off the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.

١٣ وَكَانَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ وَٱلسِّتِّ مِئَةٍ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، أَنَّ ٱلْمِيَاهَ نَشِفَتْ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. فَكَشَفَ نُوحٌ ٱلْغِطَاءَ عَنِ ٱلْفُلْكِ وَنَظَرَ، فَإِذَا وَجْهُ ٱلْأَرْضِ قَدْ نَشِفَ.

14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth perfectly dried up.

١٤ وَفِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي، فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، جَفَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ.

15 And God spoke unto Noah, saying,

١٥ وَكَلَّمَ ٱللهُ نُوحًا قَائِلًا:

16 Go forth from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

١٦ «ٱخْرُجْ مِنَ ٱلْفُلْكِ أَنْتَ وَٱمْرَأَتُكَ وَبَنُوكَ وَنِسَاءُ بَنِيكَ مَعَكَ.

17 Every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, bring forth with thee; that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

١٧ وَكُلَّ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلَّتِي مَعَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ ذِي جَسَدٍ: ٱلطُّيُورِ، وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ، وَكُلَّ ٱلدَّبَّابَاتِ ٱلَّتِي تَدِبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، أَخْرِجْهَا مَعَكَ. وَلْتَتَوَالَدْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَتُثْمِرْ وَتَكْثُرْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ».

18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him.

١٨ فَخَرَجَ نُوحٌ وَبَنُوهُ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ وَنِسَاءُ بَنِيهِ مَعَهُ.

19 Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their families, went forth out of the ark.

١٩ وَكُلُّ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ، كُلُّ ٱلدَّبَّابَاتِ، وَكُلُّ ٱلطُّيُورِ، كُلُّ مَا يَدِبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، كَأَنْوَاعِهَا خَرَجَتْ مِنَ ٱلْفُلْكِ.

20 And Noah built an altar unto the Lord, and he took of every clean cattle, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.

٢٠ وَبَنَى نُوحٌ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ. وَأَخَذَ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلطَّاهِرَةِ وَمِنْ كُلِّ ٱلطُّيُورِ ٱلطَّاهِرَةِ وَأَصْعَدَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ،

21 And the Lord smelled the sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for the sake of man; although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth: neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

٢١ فَتَنَسَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ رَائِحَةَ ٱلرِّضَا. وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي قَلْبِهِ: «لَا أَعُودُ أَلْعَنُ ٱلْأَرْضَ أَيْضًا مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، لِأَنَّ تَصَوُّرَ قَلْبِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ شِرِّيرٌ مُنْذُ حَدَاثَتِهِ. وَلَا أَعُودُ أَيْضًا أُمِيتُ كُلَّ حَيٍّ كَمَا فَعَلْتُ.

22 All the while the earth remaineth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.

٢٢ مُدَّةَ كُلِّ أَيَّامِ ٱلْأَرْضِ: زَرْعٌ وَحَصَادٌ، وَبَرْدٌ وَحَرٌّ، وَصَيْفٌ وَشِتَاءٌ، وَنَهَارٌ وَلَيْلٌ، لَا تَزَالُ».
