تكوين 7

١ 1 وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِنُوحٍ: «هَيَّا ادْخُلْ أَنْتَ وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِكَ جَمِيعاً إِلَى الْفُلْكِ لأَنِّي وَجَدْتُكَ وَحْدَكَ صَالِحاً أَمَامِي فِي هَذَا الْجِيلِ.

And the Lord God said to Noe, Enter thou and all thy family into the ark, for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

٢ 2 خُذْ مَعَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ نَوْعٍ مِنَ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الطَّاهِرَةِ سَبْعَةَ ذُكُورٍ وَسَبْعَ إِنَاثٍ، وَاثْنَيْنِ، ذَكَراً وَأُنْثَى مِنْ كُلِّ نَوْعٍ مِنَ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الأُخْرَى غَيْرِ الطَّاهِرَةِ.

And of the clean cattle take in to thee sevens, male and female, and of the unclean cattle pairs male and female.

٣ 3 وَخُذْ مَعَكَ أَيْضاً مِنْ كُلِّ نَوْعٍ مِنَ الطُّيُورِ سَبْعَةَ ذُكُورٍ وَسَبْعَ إِنَاثٍ لاسْتِبْقَاءِ نَسْلِهَا عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ الأَرْضِ.

And of clean flying creatures of the sky sevens, male and female, and of all unclean flying creatures pairs, male and female, to maintain seed on all the earth.

٤ 4 فَإِنِّي بَعْدَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ أُمْطِرُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً، لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً، فَأَمْحُو عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ كُلَّ مَخْلُوقٍ حَيٍّ».

For yet seven days [having passed] I bring rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will blot out every offspring which I have made from the face of all the earth.

٥ 5 وَفَعَلَ نُوحٌ بِمُوْجِبِ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ بِهِ.

And Noe [did] all things whatever the Lord God commanded him.

٦ 6 وَكَانَ عُمْرُ نُوحٍ سِتَّ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ عِنْدَمَا حَدَثَ طُوفَانُ الْمَاءِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ.

And Noe was six hundred years old when the flood of water was upon the earth.

٧ 7 فَدَخَلَ نُوحٌ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ مَعَ زَوْجَتِهِ وَأَبْنَائِهِ وَزَوْجَاتِهِمْ (لِيَنْجُوا) مِنْ مِيَاهِ الطُّوفَانِ.

And then went in Noe and his sons and his wife, and his sons' wives with him into the ark, because of the water of the flood.

٨ 8 وَكَذَلِكَ الْحَيَوَانَاتُ الطَّاهِرَةُ وَغَيْرُ الطَّاهِرَةِ، وَالطُّيُورُ وَالزَّوَاحِفُ،

And of clean flying creatures and of unclean flying creatures, and of clean cattle and of unclean cattle, and of all things that creep upon the earth,

٩ 9 دَخَلَتْ مَعَ نُوحٍ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ اثْنَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ، ذَكَراً وَأُنْثَى، كَمَا أَمَرَ اللهُ نُوحاً.

pairs went in to Noe into the ark, male and female, as God commanded Noe.

١٠ 10 وَمَا إِنِ انْقَضَتِ الأَيَّامُ السَّبْعَةُ حَتَّى فَاضَتِ الْمِيَاهُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ

And it came to pass after the seven days that the water of the flood came upon the earth.

١١ 11 فَفِي سَنَةِ سِتِّ مَئَةٍ مِنْ عُمْرِ نُوحٍ، فِي الشَّهْرِ الثَّانِي، فِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنْهُ، تَفَجَّرَتِ الْمِيَاهُ مِنَ اللُّجَجِ الْعَمِيقَةِ فِي بَاطِنِ الأَرْضِ، وَهَطَلَتْ أَمْطَارُ السَّمَاءِ الْغَزِيرَةُ،

In the six hundredth year of the life of Noe, in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on this day all the fountains of the abyss were broken up, and the flood-gates of heaven were opened.

١٢ 12 وَاسْتَمَرَّ هَذَا الطُّوفَانُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً مُدَّةَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً.

And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

١٣ 13 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي بَدَأَ فِيهِ الطُّوفَانُ دَخَلَ نُوحٌ وَزَوْجَتُهُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ سَامٌ وَحَامٌ وَيَافَثُ وَزَوْجَاتُهُمُ الثَّلاَثُ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ.

On that very day entered Noe, Sem, Cham, Japheth, the sons of Noe, and the wife of Noe, and the three wives of his sons with him into the ark.

١٤ 14 وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُمْ أَيْضاً مِنَ الْوُحُوشِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ وَالزَّوَاحِفِ وَالطُّيُورِ وَذَوَاتِ الأَجْنِحَةِ كُلٍّ حَسَبَ أَصْنَافِهَا؛

And all the wild beasts after their kind, and all cattle after their kind, and every reptile moving itself on the earth after its kind, and every flying bird after its kind,

١٥ 15 مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْمَخْلُوقَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ أَقْبَلَتْ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ، وَدَخَلَتْ مَعَ نُوحٍ اثْنَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ،

went in to Noe into the ark, pairs, male and female of all flesh in which is the breath of life.

١٦ 16 ذَكَراً وَأُنْثَى دَخَلَتْ، مِنْ كُلِّ ذِي جَسَدٍ، كَمَا أَمَرَهُ اللهُ. ثُمَّ أَغْلَقَ الرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ بَابَ الْفُلْكِ.

And they that entered went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded Noe, and the Lord God shut the ark outside of him.

١٧ 17 وَدَامَ الطُّوفَانُ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَطَغَتِ الْمِيَاهُ وَرَفَعَتِ الْفُلْكَ فَوْقَ الأَرْضِ،

And the flood was upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and the water abounded greatly and bore up the ark, and it was lifted on high from off the earth.

١٨ 18 وَتَكَاثَرَتِ الْمِيَاهُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَطَغَتْ جِدّاً، فَكَانَ الْفُلْكُ يَطْفُو فَوْقَ الْمِيَاهِ.

And the water prevailed and abounded exceedingly upon the earth, and the ark was borne upon the water.

١٩ 19 وَتَعَاظَمَتِ الْمِيَاهُ جِدّاً فَوْقَ الأَرْضِ حَتَّى أَغْرَقَتْ جَمِيعَ الْجِبَالِ الْعَالِيَةِ الَّتِي تَحْتَ السَّمَاءِ كُلِّهَا.

And the water prevailed exceedingly upon the earth, and covered all the high mountains which were under heaven.

٢٠ 20 وَبَلَغَ ارْتِفَاعُهَا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ ذِرَاعاً (نَحْوَ سَبْعَةِ أَمْتَارٍ) عَنْ أَعْلَى الْجِبَالِ،

Fifteen cubits upwards was the water raised, and it covered all the high mountains.

٢١ 21 فَمَاتَ كُلُّ كَائِنٍ حَيٍّ يَتَحَرَّكُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ مِنْ طُيُورٍ وَبَهَائِمَ وَوُحُوشٍ وَزَوَاحِفَ وَكُلِّ بَشَرٍ

And there died all flesh that moved upon the earth, of flying creatures and cattle, and of wild beasts, and every reptile moving upon the earth, and every man.

٢٢ 22 مَاتَ كُلُّ مَا يَحْيَا وَيَتَنَفَّسُ عَلَى الْيَابِسَةِ.

And all things which have the breath of life, and whatever was on the dry land, died.

٢٣ 23 وَبَادَ مِنْ عَلَى سَطْحِ الأَرْضِ كُلُّ كَائِنٍ حَيٍّ سَوَاءٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَمِ الْبَهَائِمِ أَمِ الزَّوَاحِفِ أَمِ الطُّيُورِ، كُلِّهَا أُبِيدَتْ مِنَ الأَرْضِ، وَلَمْ يَبْقَ سِوَى نُوحٍ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ فِي الْفُلْكِ.

And [God] blotted out every offspring which was upon the face of the earth, both man and beast, and reptiles, and birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth, and Noe was left alone, and those with him in the ark.

٢٤ 24 وَظَلَّتِ الْمِيَاهُ طَامِيَةً عَلَى الأَرْضِ مُدَّةَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ يَوْماً.

And the water was raised over the earth an hundred and fifty days.
