1 ¶ And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters ceased;

ثُمَّ تَذَكَّرَ اللهُ نُوحَ وَكُلَّ الحَيواناتِ البَرِّيَّةِ وَكُلَّ المَواشِيَ الَّتِي كانَتْ مَعَهُ فِي السَّفِينَةِ. فَجَعَلَ اللهُ رِيحاً تَهُبُّ عَلَى الأرْضِ. فَبَدَأ المِاءُ يَنخَفِضُ.

2 t he fountains also of the deep and the windows of the heavens were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;

وَتَوَقَّفَ تَدَفُّقُ الماءِ مِنْ تَحْتِ الأرْضِ. وَسَدَّتِ السَّماءُ نَوافِذَها، فَلَمْ يَعُدِ المَطَرُ يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّماءِ.

3 a nd the waters turned back and forth upon the earth, and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.

ثُمَّ بَدَأ الماءُ يَنْسَحِبُ شَيئاً فَشَيئاً مِنَ الأرْضِ. فَبَدَأ الماءُ يَنحَسِرُ فِي نِهايَةِ المِئَةِ وَالخَمْسِينَ يَوْماً،

4 ¶ And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

إلَى أنِ اسْتَقَرَّتِ السَّفِينَةُ عَلَى جِبالِ أراراطَ فِي اليَوْمِ السّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ السّابِعِ.

5 A nd the waters decreased continually until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

وَاسْتَمَرَّ انخِفاضُ الماءِ حَتَّى الشَّهْرِ العاشِرِ. وَفِي اليَوْمِ الخامِسِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ العاشِرِ ظَهَرَتْ قِمَمُ الجِبالِ.

6 ¶ And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made,

وَبَعْدَ أربَعِينَ يَوْماً، فَتَحَ نُوحُ نافِذَةَ السَّفِينَةِ الَّتِي صَنَعَها.

7 a nd he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro until the waters were dried up from off the earth.

وَأرْسَلَ غُراباً. فَطارَ الغُرابُ مِنْ مَكانٍ إلَى آخَرَ إلَى أنْ نَشِفَتِ المِياهُ عَنِ الأرْضِ.

8 A lso he sent forth a dove from him to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground,

ثُمَّ أرْسَلَ نُوحُ يَمامَةً مِنْ عِنْدِهِ لِيَرَى إنْ كانَ الماءُ قَدِ انْحَسَرَ مِنْ سَطحِ الأرْضِ.

9 b ut the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were still upon the face of the whole earth. Then he put forth his hand and took her and pulled her in unto him into the ark.

وَلَكِنَّ اليَمامَةَ لَمْ تَجِدْ مَكاناً تَحُطُّ عَلَيهِ لأنَّ الأرْضَ كانَتْ ما تَزالُ مُغَطّاةً بِالماءِ. فَعادَتْ إلَى نُوحَ فِي السَّفِينَةِ. فَأخرَجَ نُوحُ ذِراعَهُ وَأمْسَكَ بِاليَمامَةِ، وَأدخَلَها إلَى السَّفِينَةِ.

10 A nd he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark,

وَانتَظَرَ نُوحُ سَبْعَةَ أيّامٍ أُيضاً. ثُمَّ أرسَلَ اليَمامَةَ مِنَ السَّفِينَةِ ثانِيَةً.

11 a nd the dove came in to him in the evening, and, behold, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off, so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

فَعادَتِ اليَمامَةُ إلَيهِ فِي ذَلِكَ المَساءِ، تَحْمِلُ فِي مِنْقارِها وَرَقَةَ زَيتُونٍ خَضْراءَ. فَعَرَفَ نُوحُ أنَّ المياهَ قَدِ انخَفَضَتْ عَنِ الأرْضِ.

12 A nd he stayed yet other seven days and sent forth the dove, which returned not again unto him any more.

فَانتَظَرَ نُوحُ سَبْعَةَ أيّامٍ أُيضاً، وَأرْسَلَ اليَمامَةَ. فَلَمْ تَعُدِ إلَيهِ.

13 ¶ And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year of Noah, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth, and Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.

وَفِي اليَوْمِ الأوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأوَّلِ، فِي السَّنَةِ الواحِدَةِ وَالسِّتِّ مِئَةٍ مِنْ عُمْرِ نَوْحٍ، جَفَّتِ المِياهُ عَنِ الأرْضِ. فَفَتَحَ نُوحُ بابَ السَّفِينَةِ وَنَظَرَ، فَرَأى أنَّ سَطحَ الأرْضِ قَدْ جَفَّ.

14 A nd in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried.

وَفِي اليَوْمِ السّابِعِ وَالعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الثّانِي، جَفَّتِ الأرْضُ تَماماً.

15 ¶ And God spoke unto Noah, saying,

فَقالَ اللهُ لِنُوحَ:

16 G o forth from the ark, thou and thy wife and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.

«اخرُجْ مِنَ السَّفِينَةِ أنتَ وَزَوْجَتُكَ وَأبناؤكَ وَزَوْجاتُهُمْ مَعَكَ،

17 B ring forth with thee every animal that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl and of beasts and of every creeping thing that moves upon the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.

وَأخرِجْ كُلَّ كائِنٍ حَيٍّ مَعَكَ، مِنْ كُلِّ نَوْعٍ مِنَ الحَيوانِ وَالطَّيرِ وَالماشِيَةِ وَالزَّواحِفِ عَلَى التَّرابِ، لِكَي تَتَكاثَرَ وَتَتَناسَلَ وَتَزْدادَ عَلَى الأرْضِ.»

18 A nd Noah went forth and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him;

فَخَرَجَ نُوحُ وَأبناؤهُ وَزَوْجَتُهُ وَزَوجَاتُ أبنائِهِ مِنَ السَّفِينَةِ.

19 a ll the animals, every creature and every fowl and whatever moves upon the earth after their kinds went forth out of the ark.

وَخَرَجَ مِنَ السَّفِينَةِ كُلُّ حَيوانٍ، وَكُلُّ زاحِفٍ، وَكُلُّ طَيرٍ، وَكُلُّ ما يَتَحَرَّكُ عَلَى الأرْضِ، كُلٌّ حَسَبَ جِنْسِهِ.

20 ¶ And Noah built an altar unto the LORD and took of every clean animal and of every clean fowl and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

ثُمَّ بَنَى نُوحُ مَذْبَحاً للهِ. وَأخَذَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أنْواعِ الحَيواناتِ الطّاهِرَةِ وَالطُّيُورِ الطّاهِرَةِ، وَقَدَّمَها قَرابِينَ عَلَى المَذْبَحِ.

21 A nd the LORD smelled a savour of rest, and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake, for the intent of man’s heart is evil from his childhood; neither will I again smite any more every living thing as I have done.

وَرَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْ هَذِهِ الذَّبائِحِ وَقالَ: «لَنْ ألْعَنَ الأرْضَ ثانِيَةً بِسَبَبِ النّاسِ، لأنَّ قَلْبَ الإنسانِ مَيّالٌ إلَى الشَّرِّ مُنْذُ صِغَرِهِ. فَلَنْ أعُودَ إلَى إهلاكِ كُلِّ مَخلُوقٍ حَيِّ كَما فَعَلْتُ الآنَ.

22 W hile the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

فَما دامَتْ هُناكَ أرْضٌ، سَيَظَلُّ هُناكَ زَرْعٌ وَحَصادٌ، بَرْدٌ وَحَرٌّ، صَيفٌ وَشِتاءٌ، وَلَيلٌ وَنَهارٌ.»
