< اَلتَّكْوِينُ 8 >

ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ ٱللهُ نُوحًا وَكُلَّ ٱلْوُحُوشِ وَكُلَّ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلَّتِي مَعَهُ فِي ٱلْفُلْكِ. وَأَجَازَ ٱللهُ رِيحًا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَهَدَأَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ. ١ 1
And God remembered Noah, and all the wild animals, and all the tame animals, and all the flying creatures, and all the crawling creatures that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters began to recede.
وَٱنْسَدَّتْ يَنَابِيعُ ٱلْغَمْرِ وَطَاقَاتُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، فَٱمْتَنَعَ ٱلْمَطَرُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. ٢ 2
And the fountains of the deep and the floodgates of the sky were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.
وَرَجَعَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ رُجُوعًا مُتَوَالِيًا. وَبَعْدَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ يَوْمًا نَقَصَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ، ٣ 3
And the waters receded steadily from the land. And after the end of one hundred fifty days the waters had decreased significantly.
وَٱسْتَقَرَّ ٱلْفُلْكُ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ، فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، عَلَى جِبَالِ أَرَارَاطَ. ٤ 4
And in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ship came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
وَكَانَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ تَنْقُصُ نَقْصًا مُتَوَالِيًا إِلَى ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ. وَفِي ٱلْعَاشِرِ فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، ظَهَرَتْ رُؤُوسُ ٱلْجِبَالِ. ٥ 5
The waters receded continually to the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains became visible.
وَحَدَثَ مِنْ بَعْدِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا أَنَّ نُوحًا فَتَحَ طَاقَةَ ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَ قَدْ عَمِلَهَا ٦ 6
It happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,
وَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْغُرَابَ، فَخَرَجَ مُتَرَدِّدًا حَتَّى نَشِفَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٧ 7
and he sent forth a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters had dried up from the earth.
ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ ٱلْحَمَامَةَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ لِيَرَى هَلْ قَلَّتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٨ 8
Then he sent forth a dove from it, to see if the waters had abated from the surface of the ground,
فَلَمْ تَجِدِ ٱلْحَمَامَةُ مَقَرًّا لِرِجْلِهَا، فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ لِأَنَّ مِيَاهًا كَانَتْ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ وَأَخَذَهَا وَأَدْخَلَهَا عِنْدَهُ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ. ٩ 9
but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ship; for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.
فَلَبِثَ أَيْضًا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ وَعَادَ فَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْحَمَامَةَ مِنَ ٱلْفُلْكِ، ١٠ 10
And he waited yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ship.
فَأَتَتْ إِلَيْهِ ٱلْحَمَامَةُ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ، وَإِذَا وَرَقَةُ زَيْتُونٍ خَضْرَاءُ فِي فَمِهَا. فَعَلِمَ نُوحٌ أَنَّ ٱلْمِيَاهَ قَدْ قَلَّتْ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ١١ 11
The dove came back to him at evening, and, look, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters had abated from the earth.
فَلَبِثَ أَيْضًا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ وَأَرْسَلَ ٱلْحَمَامَةَ فَلَمْ تَعُدْ تَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ أَيْضًا. ١٢ 12
He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she did not return to him any more.
وَكَانَ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ وَٱلسِّتِّ مِئَةٍ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، أَنَّ ٱلْمِيَاهَ نَشِفَتْ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. فَكَشَفَ نُوحٌ ٱلْغِطَاءَ عَنِ ٱلْفُلْكِ وَنَظَرَ، فَإِذَا وَجْهُ ٱلْأَرْضِ قَدْ نَشِفَ. ١٣ 13
And it happened in the six hundred first year of Noah's life, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters had dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ship and looked out. And look, the surface of the ground was dry.
وَفِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي، فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، جَفَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ. ١٤ 14
In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
وَكَلَّمَ ٱللهُ نُوحًا قَائِلًا: ١٥ 15
God spoke to Noah, saying,
«ٱخْرُجْ مِنَ ٱلْفُلْكِ أَنْتَ وَٱمْرَأَتُكَ وَبَنُوكَ وَنِسَاءُ بَنِيكَ مَعَكَ. ١٦ 16
"Go out of the ship, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.
وَكُلَّ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلَّتِي مَعَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ ذِي جَسَدٍ: ٱلطُّيُورِ، وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ، وَكُلَّ ٱلدَّبَّابَاتِ ٱلَّتِي تَدِبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، أَخْرِجْهَا مَعَكَ. وَلْتَتَوَالَدْ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَتُثْمِرْ وَتَكْثُرْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ». ١٧ 17
Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, of flying creatures, and animals, and every creature that crawls on the earth, that they may swarm on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth."
فَخَرَجَ نُوحٌ وَبَنُوهُ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ وَنِسَاءُ بَنِيهِ مَعَهُ. ١٨ 18
And Noah went forth, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him.
وَكُلُّ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتِ، كُلُّ ٱلدَّبَّابَاتِ، وَكُلُّ ٱلطُّيُورِ، كُلُّ مَا يَدِبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، كَأَنْوَاعِهَا خَرَجَتْ مِنَ ٱلْفُلْكِ. ١٩ 19
And every wild animal, and every tame animal, and every flying creature, and every creature that crawls on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.
وَبَنَى نُوحٌ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ. وَأَخَذَ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلطَّاهِرَةِ وَمِنْ كُلِّ ٱلطُّيُورِ ٱلطَّاهِرَةِ وَأَصْعَدَ مُحْرَقَاتٍ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ، ٢٠ 20
Noah built an altar to God, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean flying creature, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
فَتَنَسَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ رَائِحَةَ ٱلرِّضَا. وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي قَلْبِهِ: «لَا أَعُودُ أَلْعَنُ ٱلْأَرْضَ أَيْضًا مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، لِأَنَّ تَصَوُّرَ قَلْبِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ شِرِّيرٌ مُنْذُ حَدَاثَتِهِ. وَلَا أَعُودُ أَيْضًا أُمِيتُ كُلَّ حَيٍّ كَمَا فَعَلْتُ. ٢١ 21
And God smelled the pleasing aroma, and God said in his heart, "I will never again curse the ground because of humankind, nor will I again destroy every living thing, as I have done.
مُدَّةَ كُلِّ أَيَّامِ ٱلْأَرْضِ: زَرْعٌ وَحَصَادٌ، وَبَرْدٌ وَحَرٌّ، وَصَيْفٌ وَشِتَاءٌ، وَنَهَارٌ وَلَيْلٌ، لَا تَزَالُ». ٢٢ 22
While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
