اَلتَّكْوِينُ 7

١ 1 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِنُوحٍ: «ٱدْخُلْ أَنْتَ وَجَمِيعُ بَيْتِكَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ، لِأَنِّي إِيَّاكَ رَأَيْتُ بَارًّا لَدَيَّ فِي هَذَا ٱلْجِيلِ.

The Lord told Noah, “Go into the ark with all your family. I have seen how you are a man of integrity, living a moral life among the people of this generation.

٢ 2 مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلطَّاهِرَةِ تَأْخُذُ مَعَكَ سَبْعَةً سَبْعَةً ذَكَرًا وَأُنْثَى. وَمِنَ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلَّتِي لَيْسَتْ بِطَاهِرَةٍ ٱثْنَيْنِ: ذَكَرًا وَأُنْثَى.

Take with you seven pairs, male and female, of every kind of clean animal, and one pair, male and female, of every kind of unclean animal.

٣ 3 وَمِنْ طُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ أَيْضًا سَبْعَةً سَبْعَةً: ذَكَرًا وَأُنْثَى. لِٱسْتِبْقَاءِ نَسْلٍ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

In addition take seven pairs, male and female, of all the birds, so their different kinds will survive throughout the earth.

٤ 4 لِأَنِّي بَعْدَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ أَيْضًا أُمْطِرُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً. وَأَمْحُو عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلَّ قَائِمٍ عَمِلْتُهُ».

In seven days I'm going to make it rain for forty days and nights. I'm going to wipe out from the surface of the earth all the living creatures I made.”

٥ 5 فَفَعَلَ نُوحٌ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَهُ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Noah did exactly what the Lord ordered him to do.

٦ 6 وَلَمَّا كَانَ نُوحٌ ٱبْنَ سِتِّ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ صَارَ طُوفَانُ ٱلْمَاءِ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ،

Noah was 600 when the flood waters covered the earth.

٧ 7 فَدَخَلَ نُوحٌ وَبَنُوهُ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ وَنِسَاءُ بَنِيهِ مَعَهُ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ مِنْ وَجْهِ مِيَاهِ ٱلطُّوفَانِ.

Noah went into the ark, taking with him his wife and his sons and their wives, because of the flood.

٨ 8 وَمِنَ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلطَّاهِرَةِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلَّتِي لَيْسَتْ بِطَاهِرَةٍ، وَمِنَ ٱلطُّيُورِ وَكُلِّ مَا يَدِبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ:

Clean and unclean animals, birds, and creatures that run along the ground,

٩ 9 دَخَلَ ٱثْنَانِ ٱثْنَانِ إِلَى نُوحٍ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ، ذَكَرًا وَأُنْثَى، كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱللهُ نُوحًا.

went into the ark with Noah. They came in pairs, male and female, just as God had told Noah.

١٠ 10 وَحَدَثَ بَعْدَ ٱلسَّبْعَةِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ أَنَّ مِيَاهَ ٱلطُّوفَانِ صَارَتْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ.

After seven days the floodwaters swept over the earth.

١١ 11 فِي سَنَةِ سِتِّ مِئَةٍ مِنْ حَيَاةِ نُوحٍ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي، فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱليَوْمِ، ٱنْفَجَرَتْ كُلُّ يَنَابِيعِ ٱلْغَمْرِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ، وَٱنْفَتَحَتْ طَاقَاتُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ.

Noah was 600 when on the seventeenth day of the second month all the subterranean waters burst through the earth, and heavy rain poured down from the sky.

١٢ 12 وَكَانَ ٱلْمَطَرُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً.

Rain continue to fall on the earth for forty days and nights.

١٣ 13 فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ دَخَلَ نُوحٌ، وَسَامٌ وَحَامٌ وَيَافَثُ بَنُو نُوحٍ، وَٱمْرَأَةُ نُوحٍ، وَثَلَاثُ نِسَاءِ بَنِيهِ مَعَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ.

That was the actual day when Noah, his wife, and their sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth together with their three wives went into the ark.

١٤ 14 هُمْ وَكُلُّ ٱلْوُحُوشِ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا، وَكُلُّ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا، وَكُلُّ ٱلدَّبَّاباتِ ٱلَّتِي تَدِبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا، وَكُلُّ ٱلطُّيُورِ كَأَجْنَاسِهَا: كُلُّ عُصْفُورٍ، كُلُّ ذِي جَنَاحٍ.

They had with them every kind of wild animals, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds—everything with wings.

١٥ 15 وَدَخَلَتْ إِلَى نُوحٍ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ، ٱثْنَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِ مِنْ كُلِّ جَسَدٍ فِيهِ رُوحُ حَيَاةٍ.

They all came into the ark with Noah in pairs—every living thing that breathes.

١٦ 16 وَٱلدَّاخِلَاتُ دَخَلَتْ ذَكَرًا وَأُنْثَى، مِنْ كُلِّ ذِي جَسَدٍ، كَمَا أَمَرَهُ ٱللهُ. وَأَغْلَقَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ.

A male and a female of every creature entered, as God had told Noah. Then the Lord shut the door behind him.

١٧ 17 وَكَانَ ٱلطُّوفَانُ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَتَكَاثَرَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ وَرَفَعَتِ ٱلْفُلْكَ، فَٱرْتَفَعَ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

The flood increased for forty days, lifting the ark so that it floated up from the earth.

١٨ 18 وَتَعَاظَمَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ وَتَكَاثَرَتْ جِدًّا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَكَانَ ٱلْفُلْكُ يَسِيرُ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ.

The floodwaters surged and grew deeper and deeper over the earth, but the ark floated along on the surface.

١٩ 19 وَتَعَاظَمَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ كَثِيرًا جِدًّا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَتَغَطَّتْ جَمِيعُ ٱلْجِبَالِ ٱلشَّامِخَةِ ٱلَّتِي تَحْتَ كُلِّ ٱلسَّمَاءِ.

Finally the water grew so deep that even the highest mountains were covered—all that could be seen was sky.

٢٠ 20 خَمْسَ عَشَرَةَ ذِرَاعًا فِي ٱلِٱرْتِفَاعِ تَعَاظَمَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ، فَتَغَطَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ.

The water rose so much that it was higher than the mountains by fifteen cubits.

٢١ 21 فَمَاتَ كُلُّ ذِي جَسَدٍ كَانَ يَدِبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنَ ٱلطُّيُورِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَٱلْوُحُوشِ، وَكُلُّ ٱلزَّحَّافَاتِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ تَزْحَفُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَجَمِيعُ ٱلنَّاسِ.

Everything living on earth died—the birds, livestock, wild animals, all creatures that run along the ground, and all the people.

٢٢ 22 كُلُّ مَا فِي أَنْفِهِ نَسَمَةُ رُوحِ حَيَاةٍ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا فِي ٱلْيَابِسَةِ مَاتَ.

Everything on land that breathed, died.

٢٣ 23 فَمَحَا ٱللهُ كُلَّ قَائِمٍ كَانَ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ: ٱلنَّاسَ، وَٱلْبَهَائِمَ، وَٱلدَّبَّابَاتِ، وَطُيُورَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. فَٱنْمَحَتْ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَتَبَقَّى نُوحٌ وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ فِي ٱلْفُلْكِ فَقَطْ.

The Lord wiped out all life on earth—people, livestock, creatures that run along the ground, and birds. All were killed. The only ones left were Noah and those with him on the ark.

٢٤ 24 وَتَعَاظَمَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِئَةً وَخَمْسِينَ يَوْمًا.

The earth remained flooded for 150 days.

The Great Flood
