Genesis 7

1 The LORD said to Noah, “Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.

١ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِنُوحٍ: «هَيَّا ادْخُلْ أَنْتَ وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِكَ جَمِيعاً إِلَى الْفُلْكِ لأَنِّي وَجَدْتُكَ وَحْدَكَ صَالِحاً أَمَامِي فِي هَذَا الْجِيلِ.

2 You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.

٢ خُذْ مَعَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ نَوْعٍ مِنَ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الطَّاهِرَةِ سَبْعَةَ ذُكُورٍ وَسَبْعَ إِنَاثٍ، وَاثْنَيْنِ، ذَكَراً وَأُنْثَى مِنْ كُلِّ نَوْعٍ مِنَ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الأُخْرَى غَيْرِ الطَّاهِرَةِ.

3 Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.

٣ وَخُذْ مَعَكَ أَيْضاً مِنْ كُلِّ نَوْعٍ مِنَ الطُّيُورِ سَبْعَةَ ذُكُورٍ وَسَبْعَ إِنَاثٍ لاسْتِبْقَاءِ نَسْلِهَا عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ.

4 In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. I will destroy every living thing that I have made from the surface of the ground.”

٤ فَإِنِّي بَعْدَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ أُمْطِرُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً، لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً، فَأَمْحُو عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ كُلَّ مَخْلُوقٍ حَيٍّ».

5 Noah did everything that the LORD commanded him.

٥ وَفَعَلَ نُوحٌ بِمُوْجِبِ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ بِهِ.

6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.

٦ وَكَانَ عُمْرُ نُوحٍ سِتَّ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ عِنْدَمَا حَدَثَ طُوفَانُ الْمَاءِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ.

7 Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, because of the floodwaters.

٧ فَدَخَلَ نُوحٌ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ مَعَ زَوْجَتِهِ وَأَبْنَائِهِ وَزَوْجَاتِهِمْ (لِيَنْجُوا) مِنْ مِيَاهِ الطُّوفَانِ.

8 Clean animals, unclean animals, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground

٨ وَكَذَلِكَ الْحَيَوَانَاتُ الطَّاهِرَةُ وَغَيْرُ الطَّاهِرَةِ، وَالطُّيُورُ وَالزَّوَاحِفُ،

9 went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.

٩ دَخَلَتْ مَعَ نُوحٍ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ اثْنَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ، ذَكَراً وَأُنْثَى، كَمَا أَمَرَ اللهُ نُوحاً.

10 After the seven days, the floodwaters came on the earth.

١٠ وَمَا إِنِ انْقَضَتِ الأَيَّامُ السَّبْعَةُ حَتَّى فَاضَتِ الْمِيَاهُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the sky’s windows opened.

١١ فَفِي سَنَةِ سِتِّ مَئَةٍ مِنْ عُمْرِ نُوحٍ، فِي الشَّهْرِ الثَّانِي، فِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنْهُ، تَفَجَّرَتِ الْمِيَاهُ مِنَ اللُّجَجِ الْعَمِيقَةِ فِي بَاطِنِ الأَرْضِ، وَهَطَلَتْ أَمْطَارُ السَّمَاءِ الْغَزِيرَةُ،

12 It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights.

١٢ وَاسْتَمَرَّ هَذَا الطُّوفَانُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً مُدَّةَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً.

13 In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth—the sons of Noah—and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship—

١٣ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي بَدَأَ فِيهِ الطُّوفَانُ دَخَلَ نُوحٌ وَزَوْجَتُهُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ سَامٌ وَحَامٌ وَيَافَثُ وَزَوْجَاتُهُمُ الثَّلَاثُ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ.

14 they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.

١٤ وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُمْ أَيْضاً مِنَ الْوُحُوشِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ وَالزَّوَاحِفِ وَالطُّيُورِ وَذَوَاتِ الأَجْنِحَةِ كُلٍّ حَسَبَ أَصْنَافِهَا؛

15 Pairs from all flesh with the breath of life in them went into the ship to Noah.

١٥ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْمَخْلُوقَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ أَقْبَلَتْ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ، وَدَخَلَتْ مَعَ نُوحٍ اثْنَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ،

16 Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; then the LORD shut him in.

١٦ ذَكَراً وَأُنْثَى دَخَلَتْ، مِنْ كُلِّ ذِي جَسَدٍ، كَمَا أَمَرَهُ اللهُ. ثُمَّ أَغْلَقَ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ بَابَ الْفُلْكِ.

17 The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.

١٧ وَدَامَ الطُّوفَانُ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَطَغَتِ الْمِيَاهُ وَرَفَعَتِ الْفُلْكَ فَوْقَ الأَرْضِ،

18 The waters rose, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.

١٨ وَتَكَاثَرَتِ الْمِيَاهُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَطَغَتْ جِدّاً، فَكَانَ الْفُلْكُ يَطْفُو فَوْقَ الْمِيَاهِ.

19 The waters rose very high on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.

١٩ وَتَعَاظَمَتِ الْمِيَاهُ جِدّاً فَوْقَ الأَرْضِ حَتَّى أَغْرَقَتْ جَمِيعَ الْجِبَالِ الْعَالِيَةِ الَّتِي تَحْتَ السَّمَاءِ كُلِّهَا.

20 The waters rose fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.

٢٠ وَبَلَغَ ارْتِفَاعُهَا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ سَبْعَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) عَنْ أَعْلَى الْجِبَالِ،

21 All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.

٢١ فَمَاتَ كُلُّ كَائِنٍ حَيٍّ يَتَحَرَّكُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ مِنْ طُيُورٍ وَبَهَائِمَ وَوُحُوشٍ وَزَوَاحِفَ وَكُلِّ بَشَرٍ

22 All on the dry land, in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.

٢٢ مَاتَ كُلُّ مَا يَحْيَا وَيَتَنَفَّسُ عَلَى الْيَابِسَةِ.

23 Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.

٢٣ وَبَادَ مِنْ عَلَى سَطْحِ الأَرْضِ كُلُّ كَائِنٍ حَيٍّ سَوَاءٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَمِ الْبَهَائِمِ أَمِ الزَّوَاحِفِ أَمِ الطُّيُورِ، كُلُّهَا أُبِيدَتْ مِنَ الأَرْضِ، وَلَمْ يَبْقَ سِوَى نُوحٍ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ فِي الْفُلْكِ.

24 The waters flooded the earth one hundred and fifty days.

٢٤ وَظَلَّتِ الْمِيَاهُ طَامِيَةً عَلَى الأَرْضِ مُدَّةَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ يَوْماً.
