< اَلتَّكْوِينُ 2 >

فَأُكْمِلَتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَكُلُّ جُنْدِهَا. ١ 1
The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished.
وَفَرَغَ ٱللهُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ. فَٱسْتَرَاحَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ عَمَلِهِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ. ٢ 2
On the seventh 'yom ·period of time, day· God finished his work which he had done; and he shavat ·rested· on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.
وَبَارَكَ ٱللهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلسَّابِعَ وَقَدَّسَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ فِيهِ ٱسْتَرَاحَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ عَمَلِهِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ ٱللهُ خَالِقًا. ٣ 3
God blessed the seventh day, and made it set apart holy, because he rested in it from all his work of barah' ·creation from nothingness· which he had done.
هَذِهِ مَبَادِئُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ حِينَ خُلِقَتْ، يَوْمَ عَمِلَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. ٤ 4
This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created. On the day that Adonai God made earth and heaven,
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
no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Adonai God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was no human to till the ground,
ثُمَّ كَانَ ضَبَابٌ يَطْلَعُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَسْقِي كُلَّ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٦ 6
but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.
وَجَبَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ تُرَابًا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَنَفَخَ فِي أَنْفِهِ نَسَمَةَ حَيَاةٍ. فَصَارَ آدَمُ نَفْسًا حَيَّةً. ٧ 7
Adonai God formed and framed a human from the dust of ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breaths of lives; and man became a living soul.
وَغَرَسَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ جَنَّةً فِي عَدْنٍ شَرْقًا، وَوَضَعَ هُنَاكَ آدَمَ ٱلَّذِي جَبَلَهُ. ٨ 8
Adonai God planted a garden eastward, in Eden [Delight], and there he put 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
Out of the ground Adonai God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the 'etz chai ·tree of life· in the middle of the garden 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
A river went out of Eden [Delight] to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers.
اِسْمُ ٱلْوَاحِدِ فِيشُونُ، وَهُوَ ٱلْمُحِيطُ بِجَمِيعِ أَرْضِ ٱلْحَوِيلَةِ حَيْثُ ٱلذَّهَبُ. ١١ 11
The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
وَذَهَبُ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ جَيِّدٌ. هُنَاكَ ٱلْمُقْلُ وَحَجَرُ ٱلْجَزْعِ. ١٢ 12
and the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and onyx stone are also there.
وَٱسْمُ ٱلنَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِى جِيحُونُ، وَهُوَ ٱلْمُحِيطُ بِجَمِيعِ أَرْضِ كُوشٍ. ١٣ 13
The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush.
وَٱسْمُ ٱلنَّهْرِ ٱلثَّالِثِ حِدَّاقِلُ، وَهُوَ ٱلْجَارِي شَرْقِيَّ أَشُّورَ. وَٱلنَّهْرُ ٱلرَّابِعُ ٱلْفُرَاتُ. ١٤ 14
The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria [Level plain]. The fourth river is the Euphrates [Fruitful].
وَأَخَذَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ وَوَضَعَهُ فِي جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ لِيَعْمَلَهَا وَيَحْفَظَهَا. ١٥ 15
Adonai God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden [Delight] to cultivate and keep it.
وَأَوْصَى ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ قَائِلًا: «مِنْ جَمِيعِ شَجَرِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ تَأْكُلُ أَكْلًا، ١٦ 16
Adonai God enjoined the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
وَأَمَّا شَجَرَةُ مَعْرِفَةِ ٱلْخَيْرِ وَٱلشَّرِّ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا، لِأَنَّكَ يَوْمَ تَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ». ١٧ 17
but you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely have death.”
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ: «لَيْسَ جَيِّدًا أَنْ يَكُونَ آدَمُ وَحْدَهُ، فَأَصْنَعَ لَهُ مُعِينًا نَظِيرَهُ». ١٨ 18
Adonai God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a help-mate suitable for 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
Out of the ground Adonai God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature became its name.
فَدَعَا آدَمُ بِأَسْمَاءٍ جَمِيعَ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَطُيُورَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَجَمِيعَ حَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. وَأَمَّا لِنَفْسِهِ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ مُعِينًا نَظِيرَهُ. ٢٠ 20
The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper suitable for him.
فَأَوْقَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ سُبَاتًا عَلَى آدَمَ فَنَامَ، فَأَخَذَ وَاحِدَةً مِنْ أَضْلَاعِهِ وَمَلَأَ مَكَانَهَا لَحْمًا. ٢١ 21
Adonai God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. As the man slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
وَبَنَى ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلضِّلْعَ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذَهَا مِنْ آدَمَ ٱمْرَأَةً وَأَحْضَرَهَا إِلَى آدَمَ. ٢٢ 22
Adonai God refined and fashioned an 'ishah ·wife woman· from the rib which had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
فَقَالَ آدَمُ: «هَذِهِ ٱلْآنَ عَظْمٌ مِنْ عِظَامِي وَلَحْمٌ مِنْ لَحْمِي. هَذِهِ تُدْعَى ٱمْرَأَةً لِأَنَّهَا مِنِ ٱمْرِءٍ أُخِذَتْ». ٢٣ 23
The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called ‘'ishah ·wife woman·,’ because she was taken out of 'ish ·husband man·.”
لِذَلِكَ يَتْرُكُ ٱلرَّجُلُ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ وَيَلْتَصِقُ بِٱمْرَأَتِهِ وَيَكُونَانِ جَسَدًا وَاحِدًا. ٢٤ 24
Therefore a husband man will leave his father and his mother, and will dabak ·cling to, worship· with his wife woman, and they will be echad ·one· flesh.
وَكَانَا كِلَاهُمَا عُرْيَانَيْنِ، آدَمُ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ، وَهُمَا لَا يَخْجَلَانِ. ٢٥ 25
The husband man and his wife woman were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
