Genesis 9
1 So God blessed Noah and his sons, —and said to them Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth;
| وَبَارَكَ ٱللهُ نُوحًا وَبَنِيهِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَثْمِرُوا وَٱكْثُرُوا وَٱمْلَأُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ. | ١ |
2 and let the fear of you and the dread of you be upon every living creature of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens, —over everything that moveth along on the ground, and over all the fishes of the sea, —into your hand, have they been given.
| وَلْتَكُنْ خَشْيَتُكُمْ وَرَهْبَتُكُمْ عَلَى كُلِّ حَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَكُلِّ طُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، مَعَ كُلِّ مَا يَدِبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَكُلِّ أَسْمَاكِ ٱلْبَحْرِ. قَدْ دُفِعَتْ إِلَى أَيْدِيكُمْ. | ٢ |
3 As for every moving thing that hath life, yours, shall it be, for food, —Like the green herb, have I given you all things.
| كُلُّ دَابَّةٍ حَيَّةٍ تَكُونُ لَكُمْ طَعَامًا. كَٱلْعُشْبِ ٱلْأَخْضَرِ دَفَعْتُ إِلَيْكُمُ ٱلْجَمِيعَ. | ٣ |
4 Yet flesh with the life thereof, the blood thereof, shall ye not eat;
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ لَحْمًا بِحَيَاتِهِ، دَمِهِ، لَا تَأْكُلُوهُ. | ٤ |
5 And surely your blood, of your lives, will I require, From the hand of every living creature, will I require it, —and from the hand of man From the hand of each one’s brother, will I require the life of man:
| وَأَطْلُبُ أَنَا دَمَكُمْ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ فَقَطْ. مِنْ يَدِ كُلِّ حَيَوَانٍ أَطْلُبُهُ. وَمِنْ يَدِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ أَطْلُبُ نَفْسَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ أَخِيهِ. | ٥ |
6 He that sheddeth man’s blood, by man, shall his blood be shed, —For, in the image of God, made he man.
| سَافِكُ دَمِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ بِٱلْإِنْسَانِ يُسْفَكُ دَمُهُ. لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ عَلَى صُورَتِهِ عَمِلَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ. | ٦ |
7 Ye, therefore, be fruitful and multiply, swarm in the earth and multiply therein.
| فَأَثْمِرُوا أَنْتُمْ وَٱكْثُرُوا وَتَوَالَدُوا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَتَكَاثَرُوا فِيهَا». | ٧ |
8 And God spake unto Noah, and unto his sons with him saying:
| وَكَلَّمَ ٱللهُ نُوحًا وَبَنِيهِ مَعهُ قَائِلًا: | ٨ |
9 I, therefore, behold me! establishing my covenant with you, —and with your seed after you;
| «وَهَا أَنَا مُقِيمٌ مِيثَاقِي مَعَكُمْ وَمَعَ نَسْلِكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ، | ٩ |
10 and with every living soul that is with you, of birds, of tame-beasts and of all wild-beasts of the earth that are with you, —of all coming forth out of the ark, even to all wild-beasts of the earth;
| وَمَعَ كُلِّ ذَوَاتِ ٱلْأَنْفُسِ ٱلْحَيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي مَعَكُمْ: ٱلطُّيُورِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَكُلِّ وُحُوشِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي مَعَكُمْ، مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ مِنَ ٱلْفُلْكِ حَتَّى كُلُّ حَيَوَانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٠ |
11 yea, I will establish my covenant with you, so that all flesh shall not be cut off any more, by reason of the waters of a flood, —neither shall there be any more a flood to destroy the earth.
| أُقِيمُ مِيثَاقِي مَعَكُمْ فَلَا يَنْقَرِضُ كُلُّ ذِي جَسَدٍ أَيْضًا بِمِيَاهِ ٱلطُّوفَانِ. وَلَا يَكُونُ أَيْضًا طُوفَانٌ لِيُخْرِبَ ٱلْأَرْضَ». | ١١ |
12 And God said, This, is the sign of the covenant which I am granting betwixt me and you, and every living soul that is with you, —to age-abiding generations: —
| وَقَالَ ٱللهُ: «هَذِهِ عَلَامَةُ ٱلْمِيثَاقِ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا وَاضِعُهُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ، وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ ذَوَاتِ ٱلْأَنْفُسِ ٱلْحَيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي مَعَكُمْ إِلَى أَجْيَالِ ٱلدَّهْرِ: | ١٢ |
13 My bow, have I set in the cloud, —and it shall be for a sign of a covenant, betwixt me and the earth;
| وَضَعْتُ قَوْسِي فِي ٱلسَّحَابِ فَتَكُونُ عَلَامَةَ مِيثَاقٍ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٣ |
14 and it shall be when I draw a veil of cloud over the earth, —and the bow in the cloud appeareth,
| فَيَكُونُ مَتَى أَنْشُرْ سَحَابًا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَتَظْهَرِ ٱلْقَوْسُ فِي ٱلسَّحَابِ، | ١٤ |
15 then will I remember my covenant which is betwixt me and you, and every living soul among all flesh, —that the waters may no more become a flood, to destroy all flesh:
| أَنِّي أَذْكُرُ مِيثَاقِي ٱلَّذِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ نَفْسٍ حَيَّةٍ فِي كُلِّ جَسَدٍ. فَلَا تَكُونُ أَيْضًا ٱلْمِيَاهُ طُوفَانًا لِتُهْلِكَ كُلَّ ذِي جَسَدٍ. | ١٥ |
16 so the bow shall be in the cloud, —and I will behold it, to remember an age-abiding covenant, between God, and every living soul among all flesh that is on the earth.
| فَمَتَى كَانَتِ ٱلْقَوْسُ فِي ٱلسَّحَابِ، أُبْصِرُهَا لِأَذْكُرَ مِيثَاقًا أَبَدِيًّا بَيْنَ ٱللهِ وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ نَفْسٍ حَيَّةٍ فِي كُلِّ جَسَدٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ١٦ |
17 And God said unto Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which have established, between me and all flesh that is on the earth.
| وَقَالَ ٱللهُ لِنُوحٍ: «هَذِهِ عَلَامَةُ ٱلْمِيثَاقِ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا أَقَمْتُهُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ ذِي جَسَدٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ١٧ |
18 And the sons of Noah who came forth out of the ark, were—Shem and Ham and Japheth, —now, Ham, was the father of Canaan.
| وَكَانَ بَنُو نُوحٍ ٱلَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا مِنَ ٱلْفُلْكِ سَامًا وَحَامًا وَيَافَثَ. وَحَامٌ هُوَ أَبُو كَنْعَانَ. | ١٨ |
19 These three, were the sons of Noah, —and from these, was all the earth overspread.
| هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ هُمْ بَنُو نُوحٍ. وَمِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ تَشَعَّبَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ١٩ |
20 And Noah began to be a husbandman, —so he planted a vineyard:
| وَٱبْتَدَأَ نُوحٌ يَكُونُ فَلَّاحًا وَغَرَسَ كَرْمًا. | ٢٠ |
21 and dank of the wine and became drunk, and uncovered himself in the midst of his tent.
| وَشَرِبَ مِنَ ٱلْخَمْرِ فَسَكِرَ وَتَعَرَّى دَاخِلَ خِبَائِهِ. | ٢١ |
22 And Ham the father of Canaan saw his father’s shame, —and told his two brethren outside.
| فَأَبْصَرَ حَامٌ أَبُو كَنْعَانَ عَوْرَةَ أَبِيهِ، وَأَخْبَرَ أَخَوَيْهِ خَارِجًا. | ٢٢ |
23 And Shem and Japheth took a mantle, and put it on the shoulder of them both and went backwards, and covered the shame of their father, but their faces were backwards, and the shame of their father, saw they not.
| فَأَخَذَ سَامٌ وَيَافَثُ ٱلرِّدَاءَ وَوَضَعَاهُ عَلَى أَكْتَافِهِمَا وَمَشَيَا إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ، وَسَتَرَا عَوْرَةَ أَبِيهِمَا وَوَجْهَاهُمَا إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ. فَلَمْ يُبْصِرَا عَوْرَةَ أَبِيهِمَا. | ٢٣ |
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, —and came to know what his youngest son had done to him.
| فَلَمَّا ٱسْتَيْقَظَ نُوحٌ مِنْ خَمْرِهِ، عَلِمَ مَا فَعَلَ بِهِ ٱبْنُهُ ٱلصَّغِيرُ، | ٢٤ |
25 And he said, Accursed be Canaan, —a servant of servants, shall he be to his brethren!
| فَقَالَ: «مَلْعُونٌ كَنْعَانُ! عَبْدَ ٱلْعَبِيدِ يَكُونُ لإِخْوَتِهِ». | ٢٥ |
26 And he said, Blessed be Yahweh, God of Shem, —And let Canaan be their servant:
| وَقَالَ: «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ سَامٍ. وَلْيَكُنْ كَنْعَانُ عَبْدًا لَهُمْ. | ٢٦ |
27 God give extension to Japheth, But make his habitation in the tents of Shem, And let Canaan be their servant.
| لِيَفْتَحِ ٱللهُ لِيَافَثَ فَيَسْكُنَ فِي مَسَاكِنِ سَامٍ، وَلْيَكُنْ كَنْعَانُ عَبْدًا لَهُمْ». | ٢٧ |
28 And Noah lived after the flood, —three hundred and fifty years:
| وَعَاشَ نُوحٌ بَعْدَ ٱلطُّوفَانِ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً. | ٢٨ |
29 so, all the days of Noah, were—nine hundred and fifty years, —and he died.
| فَكَانَتْ كُلُّ أَيَّامِ نُوحٍ تِسْعَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، وَمَاتَ. | ٢٩ |
