1 ث ُمَّ قالَ اللهُ لِنُوحَ: «ادخُلْ وَكُلُّ عائِلَتِكَ السَّفِينَةَ، لِأنِّي وَجَدْتُ أنَّكَ وَحدَكَ صالِحٌ أمامِي مِنْ بَينِ كُلِّ الأحياءِ فِي هَذا الجِيلِ.

Then the Lord said to Noah, “Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this time.

2 ف َخُذْ مَعَكَ سَبْعَةَ ذُكُورٍ وَسَبعَ إناثٍ مِنْ كُلِّ حَيوانٍ طاهِرٍ. وَخُذْ أيضاً ذَكَراً واحِداُ وَأُنْثَى واحِدَةً مِنْ كُلِّ حَيوانٍ غَيرِ طاهِرٍ.

You shall take with you of every clean animal by sevens, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean two, a male and his female;

3 و َخُذْ سَبْعَةَ ذُكُورٍ وَسَبعَ إناثٍ مِنْ كُلِّ نَوْعٍ مِنْ طُيُورِ السَّماءِ، لِكَي تُحافِظَ عَلَى بَقاءِ أنواعِها عَبْرَ الأرْضِ.

also of the birds of the sky, by sevens, male and female, to keep offspring alive on the face of all the earth.

4 ف َبَعْدَ سَبْعَةِ أيّامٍ، سَأُرْسِلُ مَطَراً مُدَّةَ أرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً وَأربَعِينَ لَيلَةً. وَسَأمحُو كُلَّ كائِنٍ حَيٍّ خَلَقْتُهُ عَنْ وَجهِ الأرْضِ.»

For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will blot out from the face of the land every living thing that I have made.”

5 ف َفَعَلَ نُوحُ كُلَّ ما أمَرَهُ بِهِ اللهُ.

Noah did according to all that the Lord had commanded him.

6 و َكانَ لِنُوحَ سِتُّ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ حِينَ غَمَرَتْ مِياهُ الطُّوفانِ الأرْضَ.

Now Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of water came upon the earth.

7 ث ُمَّ دَخَلَ نُوحُ السَّفِينَةَ مَعَ بَنِيهِ وَزَوْجَتِهِ وَكَنّاتِهِ لِلنَّجاةِ مِنْ مِياهِ الطُّوفانِ.

Then Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him entered the ark because of the water of the flood.

8 و َدَخَلَتْ حَيواناتٌ طاهِرَةٌ وَغَيرُ طاهِرَةٍ وَطُيُورٌ وَزَواحِفُ وَغيرُها مِنْ حَيَواناتِ الأرْضِ،

Of clean animals and animals that are not clean and birds and everything that creeps on the ground,

9 إ لَى نُوحَ فِي السَّفينَةِ زَوجَينِ زَوجَينِ: ذَكَراً وَأُنْثَىً، حَسَبَ ما أمَرَ اللهُ نُوحَ.

there went into the ark to Noah by twos, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

10 و َبَعْدَ سَبْعَةِ أيّامٍ، بَدأ الطُّوفانُ عَلَى الأرْضِ.

It came about after the seven days, that the water of the flood came upon the earth.

11 ف َفِي السَّنَةِ السِّتِّ مِئَةٍ مِنْ عُمْرِ نُوحَ، فِي اليَوْمِ السّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الثّانِي، انفَجَرَتْ كُلُّ يَنابِيعِ المُحِيطِ العَظِيمِ الَّتِي تَحْتَ الأرْضِ، وَانْفَتَحَتْ نَوافِذُ السَّماءِ!

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened.

12 ف َهَطَلَ مَطَرٌ غَزِيرٌ جِدّاً عَلَى الأرْضِ مُدَّةَ أربَعِينَ يَوْماً وَأربَعِينَ لَيلَةً.

The rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.

13 و َفِي ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ نَفْسِهِ، دَخَلَ نُوحُ السَّفِينَةَ مَعَ أبْنائِهِ سامَ وَحامَ وَيافَثَ، وَزَوْجَتِهِ، وَزَوجَاتِ أبْنائِهِ الثَّلاثِ.

On the very same day Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark,

14 د َخَلَ هَؤُلاءِ مَعَ كُلِّ نَوْعٍ مِنَ الحَيواناتِ البَرِّيَّةِ، وَكُلِّ نَوْعٍ مِنَ المَواشِيَ، وَكُلِّ نَوْعٍ مِنَ الحَيَواناتِ الزّاحِفَةِ عَلَى التُّرابِ، وَكُلِّ نَوْعٍ مِنَ الطُّيُورِ.

they and every beast after its kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, all sorts of birds.

15 ج اءَتْ إلَى نُوحَ فِي السَّفِينَةِ أزواجاً مِنْ كُلِّ نَوْعٍ مِنَ الحَيواناتِ الحَيَّةِ.

So they went into the ark to Noah, by twos of all flesh in which was the breath of life.

16 و َكانَتْ هَذِهِ الحَيواناتُ الدّاخِلَةُ، ذَكَراً وَأُنثَى، مِنْ كُلِّ نَوْعٍ كَما أمَرَهُ اللهُ. ثُمَّ أغلَقَ اللهُ البابَ خَلْفَ نُوحَ.

Those that entered, male and female of all flesh, entered as God had commanded him; and the Lord closed it behind him.

17 و َبَقِيَ الطُّوفانُ عَلَى الأرْضِ أربَعِينَ يَوْماً. وَارتَفَعَتِ المِياهُ كَثيراً جِدّاً فَوْقَ الأرْضِ، فَحَمَلَتِ السَّفينَةَ فَارتَفَعَتْ فَوقَ الأرْضِ.

Then the flood came upon the earth for forty days, and the water increased and lifted up the ark, so that it rose above the earth.

18 و َاسْتَمَرَّ الماءُ يَرْتَفِعُ وَيَتَكاثَرُ جِدّاً فَوْقَ الأرْضِ. وَطَافَتِ السَّفِينَةُ عَلَى وَجْهِ المِياهِ.

The water prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water.

19 و َارتَفَعَتِ المِياهُ أكثَرَ فَأكثَرَ فَوْقَ الأرْضِ حَتَّى غَطَّتْ كُلَّ الجِبالِ العالِيَةِ تَحْتَ السَّماءِ.

The water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains everywhere under the heavens were covered.

20 ت َعالَتِ المِياهُ حَتَّى غَطَّتْ قِمَمَ الجِبالِ بِأكْثَرَ مِنْ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ ذِراعاً.

The water prevailed fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.

21 ف َماتَ كُلُّ مَخلُوقٍ يَتَحَرَّكُ عَلَى الأرْضِ. ماتَتِ الطُّيُورُ وَالمَواشِي وَالحَيواناتُ البَرِّيَّةُ وَكُلُّ أسْرابِ الكائناتِ الَّتِي كانَتْ تَحْتَشِدُ عَلَى الأرْضِ وَجَمِيعُ البَشَرِ.

All flesh that moved on the earth perished, birds and cattle and beasts and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind;

22 م اتَ كُلُّ مَخلُوقٍ حَيٍّ يَتَنَفَّسُ عَلَى اليابِسَةِ.

of all that was on the dry land, all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.

23 و َهَكَذا مَحا اللهُ كُلَّ شَيءٍ حَيٍّ عَنْ وَجهِ الأرْضِ، بَشَراً وَحَيواناتٍ وَزَواحِفَ وَطُيُوراً. مُحِيَتْ كُلُّها عَنْ وَجْهِ الأرْضِ. وَلَمْ يَنْجُ إلّا نُوحُ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ فِي السَّفِينَةِ.

Thus He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.

24 و َغَمَرَتِ المِياهُ الأرْضَ مُدَّةَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ يَوْماً.

The water prevailed upon the earth one hundred and fifty days.
