SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 ثم ذكر الله نوحا وكل الوحوش وكل البهائم التي معه في الفلك. واجاز الله ريحا على الارض فهدأت المياه.	1 Then God remembered Noah, and all living things, and all the cattle, which were with him in the ark, and he brought a wind across the earth, and the waters were diminished.
2 وانسدّت ينابيع الغمر وطاقات السماء. فامتنع المطر من السماء.	2 And the fountains of the abyss and the floodgates of heaven were closed. And the rain from heaven was restrained.
3 ورجعت المياه عن الارض رجوعا متواليا. وبعد مئة وخمسين يوما نقصت المياه.	3 And the waters were restored to their coming and going from the earth. And they began to diminish after one 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, on the twenty-seventh 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 Yet in truth, the waters were departing and decreasing until the tenth month. For in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tips of the mountains appeared.
6 وحدث من بعد اربعين يوما ان نوحا فتح طاقة الفلك التي كان قد عملها	6 And when forty days had passed, Noah, opening the window that he had made in the ark, sent forth a raven,
7 وارسل الغراب. فخرج مترددا حتى نشفت المياه عن الارض.	7 which went forth and did not return, until the waters were dried up across the earth.
8 ثم ارسل الحمامة من عنده ليرى هل قلّت المياه عن وجه الارض.	8 Likewise, he sent forth a dove after him, in order 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 when she did not find a place where her foot might rest, she returned to him in the ark. For the waters were upon the whole earth. And he extended his hand and caught her, and he brought her into the ark.
10 فلبث ايضا سبعة ايام أخر وعاد فارسل الحمامة من الفلك.	10 And then, having waited a further seven 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 in her mouth an olive branch with green leaves. Noah then understood that the waters had ceased upon the earth.
12 فلبث ايضا سبعة ايام أخر وارسل الحمامة فلم تعد ترجع اليه ايضا	12 And nevertheless, he waited another seven days. And he sent forth the dove, which no longer returned to 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 hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the waters were diminished upon the earth. And Noah, opening the cover of the ark, gazed out and saw that the surface of the earth had become dry.
14 وفي الشهر الثاني في اليوم السابع والعشرين من الشهر جفّت الارض	14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was made dry.
15 وكلم الله نوحا قائلا.	15 Then God spoke to Noah, saying:
16 اخرج من الفلك انت وامرأتك وبنوك ونساء بنيك معك.	16 “Go out of the ark, you and your wife, your sons and the wives of your sons with you.
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 Bring out with you all the living things that are with you, all that is flesh: as with the birds, so also with the wild beasts and all the animals that move upon the earth. And enter upon the land: increase and multiply upon it.”
18 فخرج نوح وبنوه وامرأته ونساء بنيه معه.	18 And so Noah and his sons went out, and 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 Then also all living things, and the cattle, and the animals that move upon the earth, according to their kinds, departed from the ark.
20 وبنى نوح مذبحا للرب. واخذ من كل البهائم الطاهرة ومن كل الطيور الطاهرة واصعد محرقات على المذبح.	20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord. And, taking from each of the cattle and birds that were clean, he 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 the sweet odor and said: “I will no longer curse the earth because of man. For the feelings and thoughts of the heart of man are prone to evil from his youth. Therefore, I will no longer pierce 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, will not cease.”
