اَلتَّكْوِينُ 2
| فَأُكْمِلَتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَكُلُّ جُنْدِهَا. | ١ 1 |
And so the heavens and the earth were completed, with all their adornment.
| وَفَرَغَ ٱللهُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ. فَٱسْتَرَاحَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ عَمَلِهِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ. | ٢ 2 |
And on the seventh day, God fulfilled his work, which he had made. And on the seventh day he rested from all his work, which he had accomplished.
| وَبَارَكَ ٱللهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلسَّابِعَ وَقَدَّسَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ فِيهِ ٱسْتَرَاحَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ عَمَلِهِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ ٱللهُ خَالِقًا. | ٣ 3 |
And he blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. For in it, he had ceased from all his work: the work whereby God created whatever he should make.
| هَذِهِ مَبَادِئُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ حِينَ خُلِقَتْ، يَوْمَ عَمِلَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. | ٤ 4 |
These are the generations of heaven and earth, when they were created, in the day when the Lord God made heaven and earth,
| كُلُّ شَجَرِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَعْدُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَكُلُّ عُشْبِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لَمْ يَنْبُتْ بَعْدُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْإِلَهَ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ أَمْطَرَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَا كَانَ إِنْسَانٌ لِيَعْمَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ. | ٥ 5 |
and every sapling of the field, before it would rise up in the land, and every wild plant, before it would germinate. For the Lord God had not brought rain upon the earth, and there was no man to work the land.
| ثُمَّ كَانَ ضَبَابٌ يَطْلَعُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَسْقِي كُلَّ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٦ 6 |
But a fountain ascended from the earth, irrigating the entire surface of the land.
| وَجَبَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ تُرَابًا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَنَفَخَ فِي أَنْفِهِ نَسَمَةَ حَيَاةٍ. فَصَارَ آدَمُ نَفْسًا حَيَّةً. | ٧ 7 |
And then the Lord God formed man from the clay of the earth, and he breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
| وَغَرَسَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ جَنَّةً فِي عَدْنٍ شَرْقًا، وَوَضَعَ هُنَاكَ آدَمَ ٱلَّذِي جَبَلَهُ. | ٨ 8 |
Now the Lord God had planted a Paradise of enjoyment from the beginning. In it, he placed the man whom he had formed.
| وَأَنْبَتَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ شَهِيَّةٍ لِلنَّظَرِ وَجَيِّدَةٍ لِلْأَكْلِ، وَشَجَرَةَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ، وَشَجَرَةَ مَعْرِفَةِ ٱلْخَيْرِ وَٱلشَّرِّ. | ٩ 9 |
And from the soil the Lord God produced every tree that was beautiful to behold and pleasant to eat. And even the tree of life was in the midst of Paradise, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
| وَكَانَ نَهْرٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ عَدْنٍ لِيَسْقِيَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ، وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ يَنْقَسِمُ فَيَصِيرُ أَرْبَعَةَ رُؤُوسٍ: | ١٠ 10 |
And a river went forth from the place of enjoyment so as to irrigate Paradise, which is divided from there into four heads.
| اِسْمُ ٱلْوَاحِدِ فِيشُونُ، وَهُوَ ٱلْمُحِيطُ بِجَمِيعِ أَرْضِ ٱلْحَوِيلَةِ حَيْثُ ٱلذَّهَبُ. | ١١ 11 |
The name of one is the Phison; it is that which runs through all the land of Hevilath, where gold is born;
| وَذَهَبُ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ جَيِّدٌ. هُنَاكَ ٱلْمُقْلُ وَحَجَرُ ٱلْجَزْعِ. | ١٢ 12 |
and the gold of that land is the finest. In that place is found bdellium and the onyx stone.
| وَٱسْمُ ٱلنَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِى جِيحُونُ، وَهُوَ ٱلْمُحِيطُ بِجَمِيعِ أَرْضِ كُوشٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
And the name of the second river is the Gehon; it is that which runs through all the land of Ethiopia.
| وَٱسْمُ ٱلنَّهْرِ ٱلثَّالِثِ حِدَّاقِلُ، وَهُوَ ٱلْجَارِي شَرْقِيَّ أَشُّورَ. وَٱلنَّهْرُ ٱلرَّابِعُ ٱلْفُرَاتُ. | ١٤ 14 |
Truly, the name of the third river is the Tigris; it advances opposite the Assyrians. But the fourth river, it is the Euphrates.
| وَأَخَذَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ وَوَضَعَهُ فِي جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ لِيَعْمَلَهَا وَيَحْفَظَهَا. | ١٥ 15 |
Thus, the Lord God brought the man, and put him into the Paradise of enjoyment, so that it would be attended and preserved by him.
| وَأَوْصَى ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ قَائِلًا: «مِنْ جَمِيعِ شَجَرِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ تَأْكُلُ أَكْلًا، | ١٦ 16 |
And he instructed him, saying: “From every tree of Paradise, you shall eat.
| وَأَمَّا شَجَرَةُ مَعْرِفَةِ ٱلْخَيْرِ وَٱلشَّرِّ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا، لِأَنَّكَ يَوْمَ تَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ». | ١٧ 17 |
But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat. For in whatever day you will eat from it, you will die a death.”
| وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ: «لَيْسَ جَيِّدًا أَنْ يَكُونَ آدَمُ وَحْدَهُ، فَأَصْنَعَ لَهُ مُعِينًا نَظِيرَهُ». | ١٨ 18 |
The Lord God also said: “It is not good for the man to be alone. Let us make a helper for him similar to himself.”
| وَجَبَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلَّ حَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَكُلَّ طُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، فَأَحْضَرَهَا إِلَى آدَمَ لِيَرَى مَاذَا يَدْعُوهَا، وَكُلُّ مَا دَعَا بِهِ آدَمُ ذَاتَ نَفْسٍ حَيَّةٍ فَهُوَ ٱسْمُهَا. | ١٩ 19 |
Therefore, the Lord God, having formed from the soil all the animals of the earth and all the flying creatures of the air, brought them to Adam, in order to see what he would call them. For whatever Adam would call any living creature, that would be its name.
| فَدَعَا آدَمُ بِأَسْمَاءٍ جَمِيعَ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَطُيُورَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَجَمِيعَ حَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. وَأَمَّا لِنَفْسِهِ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ مُعِينًا نَظِيرَهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And Adam called each of the living things by their names: all the flying creatures of the air, and all the wild beasts of the land. Yet truly, for Adam, there was not found a helper similar to himself.
| فَأَوْقَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ سُبَاتًا عَلَى آدَمَ فَنَامَ، فَأَخَذَ وَاحِدَةً مِنْ أَضْلَاعِهِ وَمَلَأَ مَكَانَهَا لَحْمًا. | ٢١ 21 |
And so the Lord God sent a deep sleep upon Adam. And when he was fast asleep, he took one of his ribs, and he completed it with flesh for it.
| وَبَنَى ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلضِّلْعَ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذَهَا مِنْ آدَمَ ٱمْرَأَةً وَأَحْضَرَهَا إِلَى آدَمَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And the Lord God built up the rib, which he took from Adam, into a woman. And he led her to Adam.
| فَقَالَ آدَمُ: «هَذِهِ ٱلْآنَ عَظْمٌ مِنْ عِظَامِي وَلَحْمٌ مِنْ لَحْمِي. هَذِهِ تُدْعَى ٱمْرَأَةً لِأَنَّهَا مِنِ ٱمْرِءٍ أُخِذَتْ». | ٢٣ 23 |
And Adam said: “Now this is bone from my bones, and flesh from my flesh. This one shall be called woman, because she was taken from man.”
| لِذَلِكَ يَتْرُكُ ٱلرَّجُلُ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ وَيَلْتَصِقُ بِٱمْرَأَتِهِ وَيَكُونَانِ جَسَدًا وَاحِدًا. | ٢٤ 24 |
For this reason, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife; and the two shall be as one flesh.
| وَكَانَا كِلَاهُمَا عُرْيَانَيْنِ، آدَمُ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ، وَهُمَا لَا يَخْجَلَانِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Now they were both naked: Adam, of course, and his wife. And they were not ashamed.
