Genesis 9
1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth.
| وَبَارَكَ اللهُ نُوحاً وَأَبْنَاءَهُ قَائِلاً لَهُمْ: «أَثْمِرُوا وَتَكَاثَرُوا وَامْلَأُوا الأَرْضَ، | ١ |
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you will be on every wild animal of the earth, and on every tame animal of the earth, and on every flying creature of the sky, and on everything that crawls on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea; into your power they are given.
| لِتَخْشَكُمْ وَتَرْهَبْكُمْ كُلُّ حَيَوَانَاتِ الأَرْضِ وَطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ، وَكُلُّ مَا يَتَحَرَّكُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَسَمَكُ الْبَحْرِ، فَإِنَّهَا كُلَّهَا قَدْ أَصْبَحَتْ خَاضِعَةً لَكُمْ. | ٢ |
3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave the green plants, I now give you everything.
| وَلْيَكُنْ كُلُّ حَيٍّ مُتَحَرِّكٍ طَعَاماً لَكُمْ، فَتَأْكُلُونَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ كَمَا تَأْكُلُونَ الْبُقُولَ الْخَضْرَاءَ الَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ. | ٣ |
4 But flesh with its life, its blood, you shall not eat.
| وَلَكِنْ لَا تَأْكُلُوا لَحْماً بِدَمِهِ. | ٤ |
5 And surely I will require a reckoning for your lifeblood; from every animal I will require it, and from humans. From every human being I will require it for the life of his fellow human being.
| وَأُطَالِبُ أَنَا بِدَمِكُمْ لأَنْفُسِكُمْ. مِنْ يَدِ كُلِّ حَيَوَانٍ أُطَالِبُ بِهِ، وَمِنْ يَدِ الإِنْسَانِ أَيْضاً أُطَالِبُ الأَخَ بِنَفْسِ أَخِيهِ الإِنْسَانِ. | ٥ |
6 Whoever takes a human life, by a human will his life be taken, for God made humankind in his own image.
| فَسَافِكُ دَمِ الإِنْسَانِ يُحْكَمُ عَلَيْهِ بِسَفْكِ دَمِهِ لأَنَّ اللهَ خَلَقَ الإِنْسَانَ عَلَى صُورَتِهِ. | ٦ |
7 And as for you, be fruitful and multiply, and increase abundantly on the earth, and subdue it."
| أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَأَثْمِرُوا وَتَكَاثَرُوا وَتَوَالَدُوا فِي الأَرْضِ». | ٧ |
8 God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
| وَخَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ نُوحاً وَأَبْنَاءَهُ مَعَهُ قَائِلاً: | ٨ |
9 "And as for me, look, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,
| «هَا أَنَا أقْطَعُ عَهْدِي مَعَكُمْ وَمَعْ ذُرِّيَّتِكُمْ، | ٩ |
10 and with every living creature that is with you: the flying creatures, and the tame animals, and every wild animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship.
| 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 |
11 I will establish my covenant with you; and all flesh will never again be cut off by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth."
| أقْطَعُ عَهْدِي مَعَكُمْ بِأَنْ لَا يُبِيدَ الطُّوفَانُ كُلَّ ذِي جَسَدٍ ثَانِيَةً، وَأَنْ لَا يَكُونَ هُنَاكَ طُوفَانٌ لِيَقْضِيَ عَلَى الْحَيَاةِ فِي الأَرْضِ». | ١١ |
12 God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «وَهَذِهِ هِيَ عَلامَةُ الْعَهْدِ الأَبَدِيِّ الَّذِي أُقِيمُهُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْمَخْلُوقَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ الَّتِي مَعَكُمْ: | ١٢ |
13 I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
| أَضَعُ قَوْسِي فِي السَّحَابِ فَتَكُونُ عَلامَةَ عَهْدٍ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ الأَرْضِ. | ١٣ |
14 It will happen, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
| فَيَكُونُ عِنْدَمَا أُخَيِّمُ بِالسَّحَابِ فَوْقَ الأَرْضِ، وَتَظْهَرُ الْقَوْسُ، | ١٤ |
15 and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
| أَنِّي أَذْكُرُ عَهْدِي الَّذِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ الْمَخْلُوقَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ مِنْ ذَوَاتِ الْجَسَدِ، فَلا تَتَحَوَّلُ الْمِيَاهُ إِلَى طُوفَانٍ يُبِيدُ كُلَّ حَيَاةٍ. | ١٥ |
16 The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between me and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."
| وَتَكُونُ الْقَوْسُ فِي السَّحَابِ، فَأُبْصِرُهَا، وَأَذْكُرُ الْعَهْدَ الأَبَدِيَّ الْمَقْطُوعَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ جَمِيعِ الْمَخْلُوقَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ». | ١٦ |
17 God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."
| وَقَالَ اللهُ لِنُوحٍ: «هَذِهِ هِيَ عَلامَةُ الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي قَطَعْتُهُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ حَيٍّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ». | ١٧ |
18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.
| أَمَّا أَبْنَاءُ نُوحٍ الَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا مَعَهُ مِنَ الْفُلْكِ فَكَانُوا: سَاماً وَحَاماً وَيَافَثَ. وَحَامٌ هُوَ أَبُو الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ. | ١٨ |
19 These were the three sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.
| هَؤُلاءِ كَانُوا أَبْنَاءَ نُوحٍ الثَّلاثَةَ الَّذِينَ تَفَرَّعَتْ مِنْهُمْ شُعُوبُ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا. | ١٩ |
20 Noah, a farmer, was the first to plant a vineyard.
| وَاشْتَغَلَ نُوحٌ بِالْفِلاحَةِ وَغَرَسَ كَرْماً، | ٢٠ |
21 He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.
| وَشَرِبَ مِنَ الْخَمْرِ فَسَكِرَ وَتَعَرَّى دَاخِلَ خَيْمَتِهِ، | ٢١ |
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside.
| فَشَاهَدَ حَامٌ أَبُو الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ عُرْيَ أَبِيهِ، فَخَرَجَ وَأَخْبَرَ أَخَوَيْهِ اللَّذَيْنِ كَانَا خَارِجاً. | ٢٢ |
23 Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned the other way, and they did not see their father's nakedness.
| فَأَخَذَ سَامٌ وَيَافَثُ رِدَاءً وَوَضَعَاهُ عَلَى أَكْتَافِهِمَا وَمَشَيَا الْقَهْقَرِيَّ إِلَى دَاخِلِ الْخَيْمَةِ، وَسَتَرَا عُرْيَ أَبِيهِمَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَسْتَدِيرَا بِوَجْهَيْهِمَا نَحْوَهُ فَيُبْصِرَا عُرْيَهُ. | ٢٣ |
24 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.
| وَعِنْدَمَا أَفَاقَ نُوحٌ مِنْ سُكْرِهِ وَعَلِمَ مَا فَعَلَهُ بِهِ ابْنُهُ الصَّغِيرُ | ٢٤ |
25 He said, "Canaan is cursed. He will be servant of servants to his brothers."
| قَالَ: «لِيَكُنْ كَنْعَانُ مَلْعُوناً، وَلْيَكُنْ عَبْدَ الْعَبِيدِ لإِخْوَتِهِ». | ٢٥ |
26 He said, "Blessed be the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ: «تَبَارَكَ اللهُ إِلَهُ سَامٍ. وَلْيَكُنْ كَنْعَانُ عَبْداً لَهُ. | ٢٦ |
27 May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant."
| لِيُوْسِعِ اللهُ لِيَافَثَ فَيَسْكُنَ فِي خِيَامِ سَامٍ. وَلْيَكُنْ كَنْعَانُ عَبْداً لَهُ». | ٢٧ |
28 Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.
| وَعَاشَ نُوحٌ بَعْدَ الطُّوفَانِ ثَلاثَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، | ٢٨ |
29 All the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, then he died.
| ثُمَّ مَاتَ وَلَهُ مِنَ الْعُمْرِ تِسْعُ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسُونَ سَنَةً. | ٢٩ |
