Genesis 11
1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
| وَكَانَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا لِسَانًا وَاحِدًا وَلُغَةً وَاحِدَةً. | ١ |
2 It happened, as they traveled from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they settled there.
| وَحَدَثَ فِي ٱرْتِحَالِهِمْ شَرْقًا أَنَّهُمْ وَجَدُوا بُقْعَةً فِي أَرْضِ شِنْعَارَ وَسَكَنُوا هُنَاكَ. | ٢ |
3 And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.
| وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «هَلُمَّ نَصْنَعُ لِبْنًا وَنَشْوِيهِ شَيًّا». فَكَانَ لَهُمُ ٱللِّبْنُ مَكَانَ ٱلْحَجَرِ، وَكَانَ لَهُمُ ٱلْحُمَرُ مَكَانَ ٱلطِّينِ. | ٣ |
4 They said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth."
| وَقَالُوا: «هَلُمَّ نَبْنِ لِأَنْفُسِنَا مَدِينَةً وَبُرْجًا رَأْسُهُ بِٱلسَّمَاءِ. وَنَصْنَعُ لِأَنْفُسِنَا ٱسْمًا لِئَلَّا نَتَبَدَّدَ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ٤ |
5 And God came down to see the city and the tower, that humankind was building.
| فَنَزَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَنْظُرَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَٱلْبُرْجَ ٱللَّذَيْنِ كَانَ بَنُو آدَمَ يَبْنُونَهُمَا. | ٥ |
6 And God said, "Look, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do. So now nothing which they plan to do will be too difficult for them.
| وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هُوَذَا شَعْبٌ وَاحِدٌ وَلِسَانٌ وَاحِدٌ لِجَمِيعِهِمْ، وَهَذَا ٱبْتِدَاؤُهُمْ بِٱلْعَمَلِ. وَٱلْآنَ لَا يَمْتَنِعُ عَلَيْهِمْ كُلُّ مَا يَنْوُونَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوهُ. | ٦ |
7 Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
| هَلُمَّ نَنْزِلْ وَنُبَلْبِلْ هُنَاكَ لِسَانَهُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَسْمَعَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِسَانَ بَعْضٍ». | ٧ |
8 Then God scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth; so they ceased building the city.
| فَبَدَّدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَكَفُّوا عَنْ بُنْيَانِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، | ٨ |
9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there God confused the language of all the earth. From there he scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
| لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ ٱسْمُهَا «بَابِلَ» لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ هُنَاكَ بَلْبَلَ لِسَانَ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ بَدَّدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٩ |
10 These are the generations of Shem. Shem was one hundred years old and became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood.
| هَذِهِ مَوَالِيدُ سَامٍ: لَمَّا كَانَ سَامٌ ٱبْنَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ وَلَدَ أَرْفَكْشَادَ، بَعْدَ ٱلطُّوفَانِ بِسَنَتَيْنِ. | ١٠ |
11 Shem lived five hundred years after he became the father of Arpachshad, and fathered sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ سَامٌ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ أَرْفَكْشَادَ خَمْسَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. | ١١ |
12 And Arpachshad lived one hundred and thirty-five years and became the father of Kenan.
| وَعَاشَ أَرْفَكْشَادُ خَمْسًا وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً وَوَلَدَ شَالَحَ. | ١٢ |
13 And Arpachshad lived four hundred and thirty years after he became the father of Kenan, and fathered sons and daughters. And Kenan lived one hundred and thirty years and became the father of Shelah. And Kenan lived three hundred and thirty years after he had become the father of Shelah, and fathered sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ أَرْفَكْشَادُ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ شَالَحَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. | ١٣ |
14 Shelah lived one hundred and thirty years, and became the father of Eber:
| وَعَاشَ شَالَحُ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً وَوَلَدَ عَابِرَ. | ١٤ |
15 and Shelah lived four hundred and three years after he became the father of Eber, and fathered sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ شَالَحُ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ عَابِرَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. | ١٥ |
16 Eber lived one hundred and thirty-four years, and became the father of Peleg.
| وَعَاشَ عَابِرُ أَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً وَوَلَدَ فَالَجَ. | ١٦ |
17 Eber lived three hundred and seventy years after he became the father of Peleg, and fathered sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ عَابِرُ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ فَالَجَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. | ١٧ |
18 Peleg lived one hundred and thirty years, and became the father of Reu.
| وَعَاشَ فَالَجُ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً وَوَلَدَ رَعُوَ. | ١٨ |
19 Peleg lived two hundred and nine years after he became the father of Reu, and fathered sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ فَالَجُ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ رَعُوَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَتِسْعَ سِنِينَ، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. | ١٩ |
20 Reu lived one hundred and thirty-two years, and became the father of Serug.
| وَعَاشَ رَعُو ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً وَوَلَدَ سَرُوجَ. | ٢٠ |
21 Reu lived two hundred and seven years after he became the father of Serug, and fathered sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ رَعُو بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ سَرُوجَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعَ سِنِينَ، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. | ٢١ |
22 Serug lived one hundred and thirty years, and became the father of Nahor.
| وَعَاشَ سَرُوجُ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً وَوَلَدَ نَاحُورَ. | ٢٢ |
23 Serug lived two hundred years after he became the father of Nahor, and fathered sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ سَرُوجُ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ نَاحُورَ مِئَتَيْ سَنَةٍ، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. | ٢٣ |
24 Nahor lived seventy-nine years, and became the father of Terah.
| وَعَاشَ نَاحُورُ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً وَوَلَدَ تَارَحَ. | ٢٤ |
25 Nahor lived one hundred and twenty-nine years after he became the father of Terah, and fathered sons and daughters.
| وَعَاشَ نَاحُورُ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ تَارَحَ مِئَةً وَتِسْعَ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. | ٢٥ |
26 Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
| وَعَاشَ تَارَحُ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً، وَوَلَدَ أَبْرَامَ وَنَاحُورَ وَهَارَانَ. | ٢٦ |
27 Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.
| وَهَذِهِ مَوَالِيدُ تَارَحَ: وَلَدَ تَارَحُ أَبْرَامَ وَنَاحُورَ وَهَارَانَ. وَوَلَدَ هَارَانُ لُوطًا. | ٢٧ |
28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur Kasdim.
| وَمَاتَ هَارَانُ قَبْلَ تَارَحَ أَبِيهِ فِي أَرْضِ مِيلَادِهِ فِي أُورِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. | ٢٨ |
29 And Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran who was also the father of Iscah.
| وَٱتَّخَذَ أَبْرَامُ وَنَاحُورُ لِأَنْفُسِهِمَا ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ: ٱسْمُ ٱمْرَأَةِ أَبْرَامَ سَارَايُ، وَٱسْمُ ٱمْرَأَةِ نَاحُورَ مِلْكَةُ بِنْتُ هَارَانَ، أَبِي مِلْكَةَ وَأَبِي يِسْكَةَ. | ٢٩ |
30 And Sarai was barren. She had no child.
| وَكَانَتْ سَارَايُ عَاقِرًا لَيْسَ لَهَا وَلَدٌ. | ٣٠ |
31 And Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife, and with them he set out from Ur Kasdim to go into the land of Canaan. But when they came to Haran, they settled there.
| وَأَخَذَ تَارَحُ أَبْرَامَ ٱبْنَهُ، وَلُوطًا بْنَ هَارَانَ، ٱبْنَ ٱبْنِهِ، وَسَارَايَ كَنَّتَهُ ٱمْرَأَةَ أَبْرَامَ ٱبْنِهِ، فَخَرَجُوا مَعًا مِنْ أُورِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لِيَذْهَبُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. فَأَتَوْا إِلَى حَارَانَ وَأَقَامُوا هُنَاكَ. | ٣١ |
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years. And Terah died in Haran.
| وَكَانَتْ أَيَّامُ تَارَحَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسَ سِنِينَ. وَمَاتَ تَارَحُ فِي حَارَانَ. | ٣٢ |
