< اَلتَّكْوِينُ 11 >

وَكَانَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا لِسَانًا وَاحِدًا وَلُغَةً وَاحِدَةً. ١ 1
The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
وَحَدَثَ فِي ٱرْتِحَالِهِمْ شَرْقًا أَنَّهُمْ وَجَدُوا بُقْعَةً فِي أَرْضِ شِنْعَارَ وَسَكَنُوا هُنَاكَ. ٢ 2
It happened, as they traveled from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they settled there.
وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «هَلُمَّ نَصْنَعُ لِبْنًا وَنَشْوِيهِ شَيًّا». فَكَانَ لَهُمُ ٱللِّبْنُ مَكَانَ ٱلْحَجَرِ، وَكَانَ لَهُمُ ٱلْحُمَرُ مَكَانَ ٱلطِّينِ. ٣ 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.
وَقَالُوا: «هَلُمَّ نَبْنِ لِأَنْفُسِنَا مَدِينَةً وَبُرْجًا رَأْسُهُ بِٱلسَّمَاءِ. وَنَصْنَعُ لِأَنْفُسِنَا ٱسْمًا لِئَلَّا نَتَبَدَّدَ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ». ٤ 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."
فَنَزَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَنْظُرَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَٱلْبُرْجَ ٱللَّذَيْنِ كَانَ بَنُو آدَمَ يَبْنُونَهُمَا. ٥ 5
YHWH came down to see the city and the tower, that humankind was building.
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هُوَذَا شَعْبٌ وَاحِدٌ وَلِسَانٌ وَاحِدٌ لِجَمِيعِهِمْ، وَهَذَا ٱبْتِدَاؤُهُمْ بِٱلْعَمَلِ. وَٱلْآنَ لَا يَمْتَنِعُ عَلَيْهِمْ كُلُّ مَا يَنْوُونَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوهُ. ٦ 6
YHWH 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.
هَلُمَّ نَنْزِلْ وَنُبَلْبِلْ هُنَاكَ لِسَانَهُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَسْمَعَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِسَانَ بَعْضٍ». ٧ 7
Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
فَبَدَّدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَكَفُّوا عَنْ بُنْيَانِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، ٨ 8
Then God scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth; so they ceased building the city.
لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ ٱسْمُهَا «بَابِلَ» لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ هُنَاكَ بَلْبَلَ لِسَانَ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ بَدَّدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٩ 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.
هَذِهِ مَوَالِيدُ سَامٍ: لَمَّا كَانَ سَامٌ ٱبْنَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ وَلَدَ أَرْفَكْشَادَ، بَعْدَ ٱلطُّوفَانِ بِسَنَتَيْنِ. ١٠ 10

And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur Kasdim.
وَٱتَّخَذَ أَبْرَامُ وَنَاحُورُ لِأَنْفُسِهِمَا ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ: ٱسْمُ ٱمْرَأَةِ أَبْرَامَ سَارَايُ، وَٱسْمُ ٱمْرَأَةِ نَاحُورَ مِلْكَةُ بِنْتُ هَارَانَ، أَبِي مِلْكَةَ وَأَبِي يِسْكَةَ. ٢٩ 29

And Sarai was barren. She had no child.
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 31
