Genesi (تكوين) 8

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 ثم ذكر الله نوحا وكل الوحوش وكل البهائم التي معه في الفلك. واجاز الله ريحا على الارض فهدأت المياه.	1 And God remembered Noe, and all the living creatures, and all the cattle which were with him in the ark, and brought a wind upon the earth, and the waters were abated.
2 وانسدّت ينابيع الغمر وطاقات السماء. فامتنع المطر من السماء.	2 The fountains also of the deep, and the flood gates of heaven were shut up, and the rain from heaven was restrained.
3 ورجعت المياه عن الارض رجوعا متواليا. وبعد مئة وخمسين يوما نقصت المياه.	3 And the waters returned from off the earth going and coming: and they began to be abated after a hundred and fifty days.
4 واستقر الفلك في الشهر السابع في اليوم السابع عشر من الشهر على جبال اراراط.	4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, upon the mountains of Armenia.
5 وكانت المياه تنقص نقصا متواليا الى الشهر العاشر. وفي العاشر في اول الشهر ظهرت رؤوس الجبال	5 And the waters were going and decreasing until the tenth month: for in the tenth month, the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared.
6 وحدث من بعد اربعين يوما ان نوحا فتح طاقة الفلك التي كان قد عملها	6 And after that forty days were passed, Noe, opening the window of the ark which he had made, sent forth a raven:
7 وارسل الغراب. فخرج مترددا حتى نشفت المياه عن الارض.	7 Which went forth and did not return, till the waters were dried up upon the earth.
8 ثم ارسل الحمامة من عنده ليرى هل قلّت المياه عن وجه الارض.	8 He sent forth also a dove after him, to see if the waters had now ceased upon the face of the earth.
9 فلم تجد الحمامة مقرا لرجلها. فرجعت اليه الى الفلك. لان مياها كانت على وجه كل الارض. فمدّ يده واخذها وادخلها عنده الى الفلك.	9 But she, not finding where her foot might rest, returned to him into the ark: for the waters were upon the whole earth: and he put forth his hand, and caught her, and brought her into the ark.
10 فلبث ايضا سبعة ايام أخر وعاد فارسل الحمامة من الفلك.	10 And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove out of the ark.
11 فأتت اليه الحمامة عند المساء واذا ورقة زيتون خضراء في فمها. فعلم نوح ان المياه قد قلّت عن الارض.	11 And she came to him in the evening, carrying a bough of an olive tree, with green leaves, in her mouth. Noe therefore understood that the waters were ceased upon the earth.
12 فلبث ايضا سبعة ايام أخر وارسل الحمامة فلم تعد ترجع اليه ايضا	12 And he stayed yet other seven days: and he sent forth the dove, which returned not any more unto him.
13 وكان في السنة الواحدة والست مئة في الشهر الاول في اوّل الشهر ان المياه نشفت عن الارض. فكشف نوح الغطاء عن الفلك ونظر فاذا وجه الارض قد نشف.	13 Therefore in the six hundreth and first year, the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were lessened upon the earth, and Noe opening the covering of the ark, looked, and saw that the face of the earth was dried.
14 وفي الشهر الثاني في اليوم السابع والعشرين من الشهر جفّت الارض	14 In the second month, the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth was dried.
15 وكلم الله نوحا قائلا.	15 And God spoke to Noe, saying:
16 اخرج من الفلك انت وامرأتك وبنوك ونساء بنيك معك.	16 Go out of the ark, thou and thy wife, thy sons, and the wives of thy sons with thee.
17 وكل الحيوانات التي معك من كل ذي جسد الطيور والبهائم وكل الدبابات التي تدب على الارض اخرجها معك. ولتتوالد في الارض وتثمر وتكثر على الارض.	17 All livings things that are with thee of all flesh, as well in fowls as in beasts, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, bring out with thee, and go ye upon the earth: increased and multiply upon it.
18 فخرج نوح وبنوه وامرأته ونساء بنيه معه.	18 So Noe went out, he and his sons: his wife, and the wives of his sons with him.
19 وكل الحيوانات كل الدبابات وكل الطيور كل ما يدبّ على الارض كانواعها خرجت من الفلك	19 And all living things, and cattle, and creeping things that creep upon the earth, according to their kinds, went out of the ark.
20 وبنى نوح مذبحا للرب. واخذ من كل البهائم الطاهرة ومن كل الطيور الطاهرة واصعد محرقات على المذبح.	20 And Noe built an altar unto the Lord: and taking of all cattle and fowls that were clean, offered holocausts upon the altar.
21 فتنسم الرب رائحة الرضا. وقال الرب في قلبه لا اعود العن الارض ايضا من اجل الانسان لان تصوّر قلب الانسان شرير منذ حداثته. ولا اعود ايضا أميت كل حيّ كما فعلت.	21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour, and said: I will no more curse the earth for the sake of man: for the imagination and thought of man's heart are prone to evil from his youth: therefore I will no more destroy every living soul as I have done.
22 مدة كل ايام الارض زرع وحصاد وبرد وحرّ وصيف وشتاء ونهار وليل لا تزال	22 All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, shall not cease.
