اَلتَّكْوِينُ 2
| فَأُكْمِلَتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَكُلُّ جُنْدِهَا. | ١ 1 |
The creation of the heavens, the earth, and everything in them was complete.
| وَفَرَغَ ٱللهُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ. فَٱسْتَرَاحَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ عَمَلِهِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ. | ٢ 2 |
By the time the seventh day came, God had finished the work he'd done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work he'd been doing.
| وَبَارَكَ ٱللهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلسَّابِعَ وَقَدَّسَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ فِيهِ ٱسْتَرَاحَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ عَمَلِهِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ ٱللهُ خَالِقًا. | ٣ 3 |
God blessed the seventh day, and set it apart as holy, because he rested from all the work he'd done in creation.
| هَذِهِ مَبَادِئُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ حِينَ خُلِقَتْ، يَوْمَ عَمِلَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. | ٤ 4 |
This is the account of the Lord God's creation when he made the heavens and the 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 |
Up to this point there were no wild plants or crops growing on the earth, because the Lord God hadn't sent rain, and there was no one to cultivate the ground.
| ثُمَّ كَانَ ضَبَابٌ يَطْلَعُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَسْقِي كُلَّ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٦ 6 |
Dew came up from the earth and made the whole surface of the ground wet.
| وَجَبَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ تُرَابًا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَنَفَخَ فِي أَنْفِهِ نَسَمَةَ حَيَاةٍ. فَصَارَ آدَمُ نَفْسًا حَيَّةً. | ٧ 7 |
The Lord God shaped the man Adam from the dust of the ground. He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and Adam became a living being.
| وَغَرَسَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ جَنَّةً فِي عَدْنٍ شَرْقًا، وَوَضَعَ هُنَاكَ آدَمَ ٱلَّذِي جَبَلَهُ. | ٨ 8 |
The Lord planted a garden in Eden, in the east. There he put the man Adam he had created.
| وَأَنْبَتَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ شَهِيَّةٍ لِلنَّظَرِ وَجَيِّدَةٍ لِلْأَكْلِ، وَشَجَرَةَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ، وَشَجَرَةَ مَعْرِفَةِ ٱلْخَيْرِ وَٱلشَّرِّ. | ٩ 9 |
The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow in the garden, beautiful trees and trees producing fruit that's good to eat. The tree of life was in the middle of the garden, along with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
| وَكَانَ نَهْرٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ عَدْنٍ لِيَسْقِيَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ، وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ يَنْقَسِمُ فَيَصِيرُ أَرْبَعَةَ رُؤُوسٍ: | ١٠ 10 |
A river flowed out from Eden to water the garden. From there it split into four branches.
| اِسْمُ ٱلْوَاحِدِ فِيشُونُ، وَهُوَ ٱلْمُحِيطُ بِجَمِيعِ أَرْضِ ٱلْحَوِيلَةِ حَيْثُ ٱلذَّهَبُ. | ١١ 11 |
The first branch was called the Pishon and it flowed through the whole land of Havilah, where gold is found.
| وَذَهَبُ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ جَيِّدٌ. هُنَاكَ ٱلْمُقْلُ وَحَجَرُ ٱلْجَزْعِ. | ١٢ 12 |
(The gold from that land is pure. Bdellium and onyx stone are also found there.)
| وَٱسْمُ ٱلنَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِى جِيحُونُ، وَهُوَ ٱلْمُحِيطُ بِجَمِيعِ أَرْضِ كُوشٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
The second branch was called the Gihon and it flowed through the whole land of Cush.
| وَٱسْمُ ٱلنَّهْرِ ٱلثَّالِثِ حِدَّاقِلُ، وَهُوَ ٱلْجَارِي شَرْقِيَّ أَشُّورَ. وَٱلنَّهْرُ ٱلرَّابِعُ ٱلْفُرَاتُ. | ١٤ 14 |
The third branch was called the Tigris and it flowed east of the city of Asshur. The fourth branch was called the Euphrates.
| وَأَخَذَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ وَوَضَعَهُ فِي جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ لِيَعْمَلَهَا وَيَحْفَظَهَا. | ١٥ 15 |
The Lord God put the man in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and care for it.
| وَأَوْصَى ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ قَائِلًا: «مِنْ جَمِيعِ شَجَرِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ تَأْكُلُ أَكْلًا، | ١٦ 16 |
The Lord God ordered Adam, “You are free to eat fruit from every tree in the garden,
| وَأَمَّا شَجَرَةُ مَعْرِفَةِ ٱلْخَيْرِ وَٱلشَّرِّ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا، لِأَنَّكَ يَوْمَ تَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ». | ١٧ 17 |
but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because the day you eat from it you are certain to die.”
| وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ: «لَيْسَ جَيِّدًا أَنْ يَكُونَ آدَمُ وَحْدَهُ، فَأَصْنَعَ لَهُ مُعِينًا نَظِيرَهُ». | ١٨ 18 |
Then the Lord God said, “It's not good for Adam to be alone. I will make someone to help him, someone that's like him.”
| 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 |
The Lord God used the ground to make all the wild animals, and all the birds. He took them all to Adam to see what he would call them, and Adam named every living creature.
| فَدَعَا آدَمُ بِأَسْمَاءٍ جَمِيعَ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَطُيُورَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَجَمِيعَ حَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. وَأَمَّا لِنَفْسِهِ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ مُعِينًا نَظِيرَهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Adam gave names to all the livestock, all the birds, and all the wild animals. But Adam didn't find anyone like him who could help him.
| فَأَوْقَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ سُبَاتًا عَلَى آدَمَ فَنَامَ، فَأَخَذَ وَاحِدَةً مِنْ أَضْلَاعِهِ وَمَلَأَ مَكَانَهَا لَحْمًا. | ٢١ 21 |
So the Lord God put Adam into a deep sleep and as he slept the Lord God removed one of Adam's ribs and closed up the place where he took it with body tissue.
| وَبَنَى ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلضِّلْعَ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذَهَا مِنْ آدَمَ ٱمْرَأَةً وَأَحْضَرَهَا إِلَى آدَمَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
The Lord God made a woman, using the rib he'd taken from Adam, and presented her to Adam.
| فَقَالَ آدَمُ: «هَذِهِ ٱلْآنَ عَظْمٌ مِنْ عِظَامِي وَلَحْمٌ مِنْ لَحْمِي. هَذِهِ تُدْعَى ٱمْرَأَةً لِأَنَّهَا مِنِ ٱمْرِءٍ أُخِذَتْ». | ٢٣ 23 |
“Finally!” said Adam. “Here is bone from my bone and flesh from my flesh. She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man.”
| لِذَلِكَ يَتْرُكُ ٱلرَّجُلُ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ وَيَلْتَصِقُ بِٱمْرَأَتِهِ وَيَكُونَانِ جَسَدًا وَاحِدًا. | ٢٤ 24 |
This is the reason a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two become one being.
| وَكَانَا كِلَاهُمَا عُرْيَانَيْنِ، آدَمُ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ، وَهُمَا لَا يَخْجَلَانِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Adam and his wife Eve were both naked, but they weren't embarrassed about it.
