Genesi (تكوين) 6

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 وحدث لما ابتدأ الناس يكثرون على الارض وولد لهم بنات	1 When men began to multiply on earth and daughters were born to them,
2 ان ابناء الله رأوا بنات الناس انهنّ حسنات. فاتّخذوا لانفسهم نساء من كل ما اختاروا.	2 the sons of heaven saw how beautiful the daughters of man were, and so they took for their wives as many of them as they chose.
3 فقال الرب لا يدين روحي في الانسان الى الابد. لزيغانه هو بشر وتكون ايامه مئة وعشرين سنة.	3 Then the LORD said: "My spirit shall not remain in man forever, since he is but flesh. His days shall comprise one hundred and twenty years."
4 كان في الارض طغاة في تلك الايام. وبعد ذلك ايضا اذ دخل بنو الله على بنات الناس وولدن لهم اولادا. هؤلاء هم الجبابرة الذين منذ الدهر ذوو اسم	4 At that time the Nephilim appeared on earth (as well as later), after the sons of heaven had intercourse with the daughters of man, who bore them sons. They were the heroes of old, the men of renown.
5 ورأى الرب ان شر الانسان قد كثر في الارض. وان كل تصور افكار قلبه انما هو شرير كل يوم.	5 When the LORD saw how great was man's wickedness on earth, and how no desire that his heart conceived was ever anything but evil,
6 فحزن الرب انه عمل الانسان في الارض. وتأسف في قلبه.	6 he regretted that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was grieved.
7 فقال الرب امحو عن وجه الارض الانسان الذي خلقته. الانسان مع بهائم ودبابات وطيور السماء. لاني حزنت اني عملتهم.	7 So the LORD said: "I will wipe out from the earth the men whom I have created, and not only the men, but also the beasts and the creeping things and the birds of the air, for I am sorry that I made them."
8 واما نوح فوجد نعمة في عيني الرب	8 But Noah found favor with the LORD.
9 هذه مواليد نوح. كان نوح رجلا بارا كاملا في اجياله. وسار نوح مع الله.	9 These are the descendants of Noah. Noah, a good man and blameless in that age,
10 وولد نوح ثلاثة بنين ساما وحاما ويافث.	10 for he walked with God, begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 وفسدت الارض امام الله وامتلأت الارض ظلما.	11 In the eyes of God the earth was corrupt and full of lawlessness.
12 ورأى الله الارض فاذا هي قد فسدت. اذ كان كل بشر قد افسد طريقه على الارض	12 When God saw how corrupt the earth had become, since all mortals led depraved lives on earth,
13 فقال الله لنوح نهاية كل بشر قد أتت امامي. لان الارض امتلأت ظلما منهم. فها انا مهلكهم مع الارض.	13 he said to Noah: "I have decided to put an end to all mortals on earth; the earth is full of lawlessness because of them. So I will destroy them and all life on earth.
14 اصنع لنفسك فلكا من خشب جفر. تجعل الفلك مساكن. وتطليه من داخل ومن خارج بالقار.	14 Make yourself an ark of gopherwood, put various compartments in it, and cover it inside and out with pitch.
15 وهكذا تصنعه. ثلث مئة ذراع يكون طول الفلك وخمسين ذراعا عرضه وثلثين ذراعا ارتفاعه.	15 This is how you shall build it: the length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
16 وتصنع كوا للفلك وتكمله الى حد ذراع من فوق. وتضع باب الفلك في جانبه. مساكن سفلية ومتوسطة وعلوية تجعله.	16 Make an opening for daylight in the ark, and finish the ark a cubit above it. Put an entrance in the side of the ark, which you shall make with bottom, second and third decks.
17 فها انا آت بطوفان الماء على الارض لاهلك كل جسد فيه روح حياة من تحت السماء. كل ما في الارض يموت.	17 I, on my part, am about to bring the flood (waters) on the earth, to destroy everywhere all creatures in which there is the breath of life; everything on earth shall perish.
18 ولكن اقيم عهدي معك. فتدخل الفلك انت وبنوك وامرأتك ونساء بنيك معك.	18 But with you I will establish my covenant; you and your sons, your wife and your sons' wives, shall go into the ark.
19 ومن كل حيّ من كل ذي جسد اثنين من كلّ تدخل الى الفلك لاستبقائها معك. تكون ذكرا وانثى.	19 Of all other living creatures you shall bring two into the ark, one male and one female, that you may keep them alive with you.
20 من الطيور كاجناسها ومن البهائم كاجناسها ومن كل دبابات الارض كاجناسها. اثنين من كلّ تدخل اليك لاستبقائها.	20 Of all kinds of birds, of all kinds of beasts, and of all kinds of creeping things, two of each shall come into the ark with you, to stay alive.
21 وانت فخذ لنفسك من كل طعام يؤكل واجمعه عندك. فيكون لك ولها طعاما.	21 Moreover, you are to provide yourself with all the food that is to be eaten, and store it away, that it may serve as provisions for you and for them."
22 ففعل نوح حسب كل ما امره به الله. هكذا فعل	22 This Noah did; he carried out all the commands that God gave him.
