Genesis 6
1 And it happened, when humankind began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,
| وَحَدَثَ لَمَّا ٱبْتَدَأَ ٱلنَّاسُ يَكْثُرُونَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَوُلِدَ لَهُمْ بَنَاتٌ، | ١ |
2 that God's sons saw that the daughters of humankind were beautiful, and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.
| أَنَّ أَبْنَاءَ ٱللهِ رَأَوْا بَنَاتِ ٱلنَّاسِ أَنَّهُنَّ حَسَنَاتٌ. فَٱتَّخَذُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ نِسَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ مَا ٱخْتَارُوا. | ٢ |
3 And God said, "My Spirit will not remain in humankind forever, since he is indeed flesh; yet his days will be one hundred twenty years."
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «لَا يَدِينُ رُوحِي فِي ٱلْإِنْسَانِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، لِزَيَغَانِهِ، هُوَ بَشَرٌ. وَتَكُونُ أَيَّامُهُ مِئَةً وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً». | ٣ |
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days (and also after that), when the sons of God had sexual relations with the daughters of humankind and had children by them. They were the mighty men who were from ancient times, famous men.
| كَانَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ طُغَاةٌ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ. وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَيْضًا إِذْ دَخَلَ بَنُو ٱللهِ عَلَى بَنَاتِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَوَلَدْنَ لَهُمْ أَوْلَادًا، هَؤُلَاءِ هُمُ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مُنْذُ ٱلدَّهْرِ ذَوُو ٱسْمٍ. | ٤ |
5 And God saw that the wickedness of humankind was great on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
| وَرَأَى ٱلرَّبُّ أَنَّ شَرَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ قَدْ كَثُرَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَأَنَّ كُلَّ تَصَوُّرِ أَفْكَارِ قَلْبِهِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ شِرِّيرٌ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ. | ٥ |
6 God was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and he was grieved in his heart.
| فَحَزِنَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَنَّهُ عَمِلَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَتَأَسَّفَ فِي قَلْبِهِ. | ٦ |
7 God said, "I will destroy humankind whom I have created from the face of the earth; humankind, along with animals, crawling creatures, and flying creatures of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «أَمْحُو عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقْتُهُ، ٱلْإِنْسَانَ مَعَ بَهَائِمَ وَدَبَّابَاتٍ وَطُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، لِأَنِّي حَزِنْتُ أَنِّي عَمِلْتُهُمْ». | ٧ |
8 But Noah found favor in the sight of God.
| وَأَمَّا نُوحٌ فَوَجَدَ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٨ |
9 These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.
| هَذِهِ مَوَالِيدُ نُوحٍ: كَانَ نُوحٌ رَجُلًا بَارًّا كَامِلًا فِي أَجْيَالِهِ. وَسَارَ نُوحٌ مَعَ ٱللهِ. | ٩ |
10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
| وَوَلَدَ نُوحٌ ثَلَاثَةَ بَنِينَ: سَامًا، وَحَامًا، وَيَافَثَ. | ١٠ |
11 The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
| وَفَسَدَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَمَامَ ٱللهِ، وَٱمْتَلَأَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ ظُلْمًا. | ١١ |
12 God saw the earth, and look, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.
| وَرَأَى ٱللهُ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَإِذَا هِيَ قَدْ فَسَدَتْ، إِذْ كَانَ كُلُّ بَشَرٍ قَدْ أَفْسَدَ طَرِيقَهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٢ |
13 And God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. And look, I will destroy them with the earth.
| فَقَالَ ٱللهُ لِنُوحٍ: «نِهَايَةُ كُلِّ بَشَرٍ قَدْ أَتَتْ أَمَامِي، لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ ٱمْتَلَأَتْ ظُلْمًا مِنْهُمْ. فَهَا أَنَا مُهْلِكُهُمْ مَعَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٣ |
14 Make a box-shaped ship of gopher wood. You are to make rooms in the ship, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.
| اِصْنَعْ لِنَفْسِكَ فُلْكًا مِنْ خَشَبِ جُفْرٍ. تَجْعَلُ ٱلْفُلْكَ مَسَاكِنَ، وَتَطْلِيهِ مِنْ دَاخِلٍ وَمِنْ خَارِجٍ بِٱلْقَارِ. | ١٤ |
15 And this is how you are to make it. The length of the ship is to be five hundred seventeen feet, its breadth eighty-six feet, and its height fifty-two feet.
| وَهَكَذَا تَصْنَعُهُ: ثَلَاثَ مِئَةِ ذِرَاعٍ يَكُونُ طُولُ ٱلْفُلْكِ، وَخَمْسِينَ ذِرَاعًا عَرْضُهُ، وَثَلَاثِينَ ذِرَاعًا ٱرْتِفَاعُهُ. | ١٥ |
16 And you are to make a roof in the ship, and you are to finish it twenty-one inches above. And you are to set the door of the ship in its side. You are to make it with lower, second, and third levels.
| وَتَصْنَعُ كَوًّا لِلْفُلْكِ، وَتُكَمِّلُهُ إِلَى حَدِّ ذِرَاعٍ مِنْ فَوْقُ. وَتَضَعُ بَابَ ٱلْفُلْكِ فِي جَانِبِهِ. مَسَاكِنَ سُفْلِيَّةً وَمُتَوَسِّطَةً وَعُلْوِيَّةً تَجْعَلُهُ. | ١٦ |
17 And as for me, look, I am bringing a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is on the earth will die.
| فَهَا أَنَا آتٍ بِطُوفَانِ ٱلْمَاءِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِأُهْلِكَ كُلَّ جَسَدٍ فِيهِ رُوحُ حَيَاةٍ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. كُلُّ مَا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ يَمُوتُ. | ١٧ |
18 But I will establish my covenant with you. You are to come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.
| وَلَكِنْ أُقِيمُ عَهْدِي مَعَكَ، فَتَدْخُلُ ٱلْفُلْكَ أَنْتَ وَبَنُوكَ وَٱمْرَأَتُكَ وَنِسَاءُ بَنِيكَ مَعَكَ. | ١٨ |
19 Of every living thing of all flesh, you are to bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.
| وَمِنْ كُلِّ حَيٍّ مِنْ كُلِّ ذِي جَسَدٍ، ٱثْنَيْنِ مِنْ كُلٍّ تُدْخِلُ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ لِٱسْتِبْقَائِهَا مَعَكَ. تَكُونُ ذَكَرًا وَأُنْثَى. | ١٩ |
20 Of the flying creatures after their kind, of the animals after their kind, and of every crawling creature of the ground after their kind, two of every sort shall come to you, to keep them alive.
| مِنَ ٱلطُّيُورِ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا، وَمِنَ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا، وَمِنْ كُلِّ دَبَّابَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا. ٱثْنَيْنِ مِنْ كُلٍّ تُدْخِلُ إِلَيْكَ لِٱسْتِبْقَائِهَا. | ٢٠ |
21 And as for you, take for yourself all the kinds of food that are eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be food for you, and for them."
| وَأَنْتَ، فَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ طَعَامٍ يُؤْكَلُ وَٱجْمَعْهُ عِنْدَكَ، فَيَكُونَ لَكَ وَلَهَا طَعَامًا». | ٢١ |
22 Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
| فَفَعَلَ نُوحٌ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَهُ بِهِ ٱللهُ. هَكَذَا فَعَلَ. | ٢٢ |
The World is Destroyed by Water
