Genesis 8

1 And God remembered Noah, and every living animal, and all the cattle that [were] with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters were checked.

١ ثُمَّ افْتَقَدَ اللهُ نُوحاً وَمَا مَعَهُ فِي الْفُلْكِ مِنْ وُحُوشٍ وبَهَائِمَ، فَأَرْسَلَ رِيحاً عَلَى الأَرْضِ فَتَقَلَّصَتِ الْمِيَاهُ

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

٢ وَانْسَدَّتْ يَنَابِيعُ الْمَاءِ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاءِ، وَاحْتَبَسَ الْمَطَرُ.

3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

٣ وَتَرَاجَعَتِ الْمِيَاهُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ تَدْرِيجِيًّا. وَبَعْدَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ يَوْماً نَقَصَتِ الْمِيَاهُ.

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

٤ وَاسْتَقَرَّ الْفُلْكُ عَلَى جِبَالِ أَرَارَاطَ فِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ السَّابِعِ لِلطُّوفَانِ.

5 And the waters decreased continually, till the tenth month: in the tenth [month], on the first [day] of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.

٥ وَظَلَّتِ الْمِيَاهُ تَتَنَاقَصُ تَدْرِيجِيًّا حَتَّى الشَّهْرِ الْعَاشِرِ. وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الْعَاشِرِ بَدَتْ قِمَمُ الْجِبَالِ.

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 وَبَعْدَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً أُخْرَى فَتَحَ نُوحٌ النَّافِذَةَ الَّتِي كَانَ قَدْ عَمِلَهَا فِي الْفُلْكِ.

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

٧ وَأَطْلَقَ غُرَاباً، فَخَرَجَ وَظَلَّ يَحُومُ مُتَرَدِّداً إِلَى الْفُلْكِ حَتَّى جَفَّتِ الْمِيَاهُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ.

8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;

٨ ثُمَّ أَطْلَقَ نُوحٌ حَمَامَةً مِنَ الْفُلْكِ لِيَرَى إِنْ كَانَتِ الْمِيَاهُ قَدْ تَقَلَّصَتْ عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ،

9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him into the ark; for the waters [were] on the face of the whole earth. Then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in to him into the ark.

٩ وَلَكِنَّ الْحَمَامَةَ لَمْ تَجِدْ مَوْضِعاً تَسْتَقِرُّ عَلَيْهِ رِجْلُهَا فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْفُلْكِ، لأَنَّ الْمِيَاهَ كَانَتْ مَازَالَتْ تَغْمُرُ سَطْحَ الأَرْضِ، فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ وَأَخَذَهَا، وَأَدْخَلَهَا عِنْدَهُ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ.

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

١٠ وَانْتَظَرَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ أُخْرَى ثُمَّ عَادَ فَأَطْلَقَ الْحَمَامَةَ مِنَ الْفُلْكِ،

11 And the dove came in to him in the evening, and lo, in her mouth [was] an olive-leaf plucked off: So Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

١١ فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ تَحْمِلُ فِي مِنْقَارِهَا وَرَقَةَ زَيْتُونٍ خَضْرَاءَ، فَأَدْرَكَ نُوحٌ أَنَّ الْمِيَاهَ قَدْ تَنَاقَصَتْ عَنِ الأَرْضِ.

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

١٢ فَمَكَثَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ أُخْرَى ثُمَّ أَطْلَقَ الْحَمَامَةَ فَلَمْ تَرْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ.

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

١٣ وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ وَالسِّتِّ مِئَةٍ مِنْ عُمْرِ نُوحٍ، جَفَّتِ الْمِيَاهُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ، فَرَفَعَ نُوحٌ سَقْفَ الْفُلْكِ وَتَطَلَّعَ حَوْلَهُ، فَرَأَى أَنَّ سَطْحَ الأَرْضِ قَدْ أَخَذَ فِي الْجَفَافِ.

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

١٤ وَلَكِنَّ الأَرْضَ لَمْ تَجِفَّ تَمَاماً إِلّا فِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الثَّانِي.

15 And God spoke to Noah, saying,

١٥ وَخَاطَبَ اللهُ نُوحاً قَائِلا:

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

١٦ «اخْرُجْ مِنَ الْفُلْكِ أَنْتَ وَامْرَأَتُكَ وَبَنُوكَ وَنِسَاءُ بَنِيكَ مَعَكَ،

17 Bring forth with thee every living animal that [is] with thee, of all flesh, of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping animal that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

١٧ وَأَخْرِجْ كُلَّ مَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ، مِنْ طُيُورٍ وَبَهَائِمَ وَكُلِّ مَا يَزْحَفُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ لِتَتَوَالَدَ وَتَتَكَاثَرَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ».

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

١٨ وَخَرَجَ نُوحٌ وَبَنُوهُ وَامْرَأَتُهُ وَزَوْجَاتُ بَنِيهِ مَعَهُ.

19 Every beast, every creeping animal, and every fowl, [and] whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went out of the ark.

١٩ وَكَذَلِكَ خَرَجَتْ مَعَهُ كُلُّ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ، وَالزَّوَاحِفِ وَالطُّيُورِ، وَكُلُّ مَا يَدِبُّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، كُلٌّ مِنْهَا كَجِنْسِهَا.

20 And Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt-offerings on the altar.

٢٠ وَبَنَى نُوحٌ مَذْبَحاً لِلرَّبِّ ثُمَّ اخْتَارَ بَعْضاً مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْبَهَائِمِ وَالطُّيُورِ الطَّاهِرَةِ وَقَرَّبَهَا مُحْرَقَاتٍ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ.

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

٢١ فَتَقَبَّلَهَا الرَّبُّ بِرِضًى، وَقَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ: «لَنْ أَلْعَنَ الأَرْضَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى مِنْ أَجْلِ الإِنْسَانِ، لأَنَّ أَهْوَاءَ قَلْبِ الإِنْسَانِ شِرِّيرَةٌ مُنْذُ حَدَاثَتِهِ وَلَنْ أُقْدِمَ عَلَى إِهْلاكِ كُلِّ حَيٍّ كَمَا فَعَلْتُ.

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

٢٢ وَتَكُونُ كُلُّ أَيَّامِ الأَرْضِ مَوَاسِمَ زَرْعٍ وَحَصَادٍ وَبَرْدٍ وَحَرٍّ وَصَيْفٍ وَشِتَاءٍ وَنَهَارٍ وَلَيْلٍ، لَنْ تَبْطُلَ أَبَداً».
