1 A nd God remembereth Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle which with him in the ark, and God causeth a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside,

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

2 a nd closed are the fountains of the deep and the net-work of the heavens, and restrained is the shower from the heavens.

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

3 A nd turn back do the waters from off the earth, going on and returning; and the waters are lacking at the end of a hundred and fifty days.

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

4 A nd the ark resteth, in the seventh month, in the seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat;

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

5 a nd the waters have been going and becoming lacking till the tenth month; in the tenth, on the first of the month, appeared the heads of the mountains.

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

6 A nd it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah openeth the window of the ark which he made,

وَبَعْدَ أربَعِينَ يَوْماً، فَتَحَ نُوحُ نافِذَةَ السَّفِينَةِ الَّتِي صَنَعَها.

7 a nd he sendeth forth the raven, and it goeth out, going out and turning back till the drying of the waters from off the earth.

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

8 A nd he sendeth forth the dove from him to see whether the waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground,

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

9 a nd the dove hath not found rest for the sole of her foot, and she turneth back unto him, unto the ark, for waters on the face of all the earth, and he putteth out his hand, and taketh her, and bringeth her in unto him, unto 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 stayeth yet other seven days, and addeth to send forth the dove from the ark;

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

11 a nd the dove cometh in unto him at even-time, and lo, an olive leaf torn off in her mouth; and Noah knoweth that the waters have been lightened 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 stayeth yet other seven days, and sendeth forth the dove, and it added not to turn back unto him any more.

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

13 A nd it cometh to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first, in the first of the month, the waters have been dried from off the earth; and Noah turneth aside the covering of the ark, and looketh, and lo, the face of the ground hath been dried.

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, in the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth hath become dry.

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

15 A nd God speaketh unto Noah, saying, `Go out from the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee;

فَقالَ اللهُ لِنُوحَ:

16 e very living thing that with thee, of all flesh, among fowl, and among cattle, and among every creeping thing which is creeping on the earth, bring out with thee;

«اخرُجْ مِنَ السَّفِينَةِ أنتَ وَزَوْجَتُكَ وَأبناؤكَ وَزَوْجاتُهُمْ مَعَكَ،

17 a nd they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and have multiplied on 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 goeth out, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him;

فَخَرَجَ نُوحُ وَأبناؤهُ وَزَوْجَتُهُ وَزَوجَاتُ أبنائِهِ مِنَ السَّفِينَةِ.

19 e very beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl; every creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone out from the ark.

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

20 A nd Noah buildeth an altar to Jehovah, and taketh of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and causeth burnt-offerings to ascend on the altar;

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

21 a nd Jehovah smelleth the sweet fragrance, and Jehovah saith unto His heart, `I continue not to disesteem any more the ground because of man, though the imagination of the heart of man evil from his youth; and I continue not to smite any more all living, 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 d uring all days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, do not cease.'

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