| 1 وبارك الله نوحا وبنيه وقال لهم اثمروا واكثروا واملأوا الارض. | 1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. |
| 2 ولتكن خشيتكم ورهبتكم على كل حيوانات الارض وكل طيور السماء. مع كل ما يدبّ على الارض وكل اسماك البحر قد دفعت الى ايديكم. | 2 The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the air, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered. |
| 3 كل دابة حية تكون لكم طعاما. كالعشب الاخضر دفعت اليكم الجميع. | 3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. |
| 4 غير ان لحما بحياته دمه لا تاكلوه. | 4 Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. |
| 5 واطلب انا دمكم لانفسكم فقط. من يد كل حيوان اطلبه. ومن يد الانسان اطلب نفس الانسان. من يد الانسان اخيه. | 5 For your lifeblood I will surely require a reckoning; of every beast I will require it and of man; of every man's brother I will require the life of man. |
| 6 سافك دم الانسان بالانسان يسفك دمه. لان الله على صورته عمل الانسان. | 6 Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for God made man in his own image. |
| 7 فاثمروا انتم واكثروا وتوالدوا في الارض وتكاثروا فيها | 7 And you, be fruitful and multiply, bring forth abundantly on the earth and multiply in it." |
| 8 وكلم الله نوحا وبنيه معه قائلا. | 8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, |
| 9 وها انا مقيم ميثاقي معكم ومع نسلكم من بعدكم. | 9 "Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your descendants after you, |
| 10 ومع كل ذوات الانفس الحيّة التي معكم. الطيور والبهائم وكل وحوش الارض التي معكم من جميع الخارجين من الفلك حتى كل حيوان الارض. | 10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark. |
| 11 اقيم ميثاقي معكم فلا ينقرض كل ذي جسد ايضا بمياه الطوفان. ولا يكون ايضا طوفان ليخرب الارض. | 11 I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth." |
| 12 وقال الله هذه علامة الميثاق الذي انا واضعه بيني وبينكم وبين كل ذوات الانفس الحيّة التي معكم الى اجيال الدهر. | 12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: |
| 13 وضعت قوسي في السحاب فتكون علامة ميثاق بيني وبين الارض. | 13 I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. |
| 14 فيكون متى انشر سحابا على الارض وتظهر القوس في السحاب | 14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, |
| 15 اني اذكر ميثاقي الذي بيني وبينكم وبين كل نفس حيّة في كل جسد. فلا تكون ايضا المياه طوفانا لتهلك كل ذي جسد. | 15 I will remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. |
| 16 فمتى كانت القوس في السحاب ابصرها لاذكر ميثاقا ابديا بين الله وبين كل نفس حيّة في كل جسد على الارض. | 16 When the bow is in the clouds, I will look upon it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth." |
| 17 وقال الله لنوح هذه علامة الميثاق الذي انا اقمته بيني وبين كل ذي جسد على الارض | 17 God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth." |
| 18 وكان بنو نوح الذين خرجوا من الفلك ساما وحاما ويافث. وحام هو ابو كنعان. | 18 The sons of Noah who went forth from the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan. |
| 19 هؤلاء الثلاثة هم بنو نوح. ومن هؤلاء تشعبت كل الارض | 19 These three were the sons of Noah; and from these the whole earth was peopled. |
| 20 وابتدأ نوح يكون فلاحا وغرس كرما. | 20 Noah was the first tiller of the soil. He planted a vineyard; |
| 21 وشرب من الخمر فسكر وتعرّى داخل خبائه. | 21 and he drank of the wine, and became drunk, and lay uncovered in his tent. |
| 22 فابصر حام ابو كنعان عورة ابيه واخبر اخويه خارجا. | 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. |
| 23 فأخذ سام ويافث الرداء ووضعاه على اكتافهما ومشيا الى الوراء وسترا عورة ابيهما ووجهاهما الى الوراء. فلم يبصرا عورة ابيهما. | 23 Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it upon both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness. |
| 24 فلما استيقظ نوح من خمره علم ما فعل به ابنه الصغير. | 24 When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him, |
| 25 فقال ملعون كنعان. عبد العبيد يكون لاخوته. | 25 he said, "Cursed be Canaan; a slave of slaves shall he be to his brothers." |
| 26 وقال مبارك الرب اله سام. وليكن كنعان عبدا لهم. | 26 He also said, "Blessed by the LORD my God be Shem; and let Canaan be his slave. |
| 27 ليفتح الله ليافث فيسكن في مساكن سام. وليكن كنعان عبدا لهم | 27 God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be his slave." |
| 28 وعاش نوح بعد الطوفان ثلث مئة وخمسين سنة. | 28 After the flood Noah lived three hundred and fifty years. |
| 29 فكانت كل ايام نوح تسع مئة وخمسين سنة ومات | 29 All the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died. |
