| BSB 1 Now the whole world had one language and a common form of speech. | SVD 1 وَكَانَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا لِسَانًا وَاحِدًا وَلُغَةً وَاحِدَةً. |
| BSB 2 And as people journeyed eastward, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. | SVD 2 وَحَدَثَ فِي ٱرْتِحَالِهِمْ شَرْقًا أَنَّهُمْ وَجَدُوا بُقْعَةً فِي أَرْضِ شِنْعَارَ وَسَكَنُوا هُنَاكَ. |
| BSB 3 And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” So they used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of mortar. | SVD 3 وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ: «هَلُمَّ نَصْنَعُ لِبْنًا وَنَشْوِيهِ شَيًّا». فَكَانَ لَهُمُ ٱللِّبْنُ مَكَانَ ٱلْحَجَرِ، وَكَانَ لَهُمُ ٱلْحُمَرُ مَكَانَ ٱلطِّينِ. |
| BSB 4 “Come,” they said, “let us build for ourselves a city with a tower that reaches to the heavens, that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of all the earth.” | SVD 4 وَقَالُوا: «هَلُمَّ نَبْنِ لِأَنْفُسِنَا مَدِينَةً وَبُرْجًا رَأْسُهُ بِٱلسَّمَاءِ. وَنَصْنَعُ لِأَنْفُسِنَا ٱسْمًا لِئَلَّا نَتَبَدَّدَ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ». |
| BSB 5 Then the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men were building. | SVD 5 فَنَزَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِيَنْظُرَ ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَٱلْبُرْجَ ٱللَّذَيْنِ كَانَ بَنُو آدَمَ يَبْنُونَهُمَا. |
| BSB 6 And the LORD said, “If they have begun to do this as one people speaking the same language, then nothing they devise will be beyond them. | SVD 6 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «هُوَذَا شَعْبٌ وَاحِدٌ وَلِسَانٌ وَاحِدٌ لِجَمِيعِهِمْ، وَهَذَا ٱبْتِدَاؤُهُمْ بِٱلْعَمَلِ. وَٱلْآنَ لَا يَمْتَنِعُ عَلَيْهِمْ كُلُّ مَا يَنْوُونَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوهُ. |
| BSB 7 Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.” | SVD 7 هَلُمَّ نَنْزِلْ وَنُبَلْبِلْ هُنَاكَ لِسَانَهُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَسْمَعَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِسَانَ بَعْضٍ». |
| BSB 8 So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city. | SVD 8 فَبَدَّدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَكَفُّوا عَنْ بُنْيَانِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، |
| BSB 9 That is why it is called Babel, for there the LORD confused the language of the whole world, and from that place the LORD scattered them over the face of all the earth. | SVD 9 لِذَلِكَ دُعِيَ ٱسْمُهَا «بَابِلَ» لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ هُنَاكَ بَلْبَلَ لِسَانَ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ بَدَّدَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى وَجْهِ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. |
| BSB 10 This is the account of Shem. Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he became the father of Arphaxad. | SVD 10 هَذِهِ مَوَالِيدُ سَامٍ: لَمَّا كَانَ سَامٌ ٱبْنَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ وَلَدَ أَرْفَكْشَادَ، بَعْدَ ٱلطُّوفَانِ بِسَنَتَيْنِ. |
| BSB 11 And after he had become the father of Arphaxad, Shem lived 500 years and had other sons and daughters. | SVD 11 وَعَاشَ سَامٌ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ أَرْفَكْشَادَ خَمْسَ مِئَةِ سَنَةٍ، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. |
| BSB 12 When Arphaxad was 35 years old, he became the father of Shelah. | SVD 12 وَعَاشَ أَرْفَكْشَادُ خَمْسًا وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً وَوَلَدَ شَالَحَ. |
| BSB 13 And after he had become the father of Shelah, Arphaxad lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters. | SVD 13 وَعَاشَ أَرْفَكْشَادُ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ شَالَحَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. |
| BSB 14 When Shelah was 30 years old, he became the father of Eber. | SVD 14 وَعَاشَ شَالَحُ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً وَوَلَدَ عَابِرَ. |
| BSB 15 And after he had become the father of Eber, Shelah lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters. | SVD 15 وَعَاشَ شَالَحُ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ عَابِرَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. |
| BSB 16 When Eber was 34 years old, he became the father of Peleg. | SVD 16 وَعَاشَ عَابِرُ أَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً وَوَلَدَ فَالَجَ. |
| BSB 17 And after he had become the father of Peleg, Eber lived 430 years and had other sons and daughters. | SVD 17 وَعَاشَ عَابِرُ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ فَالَجَ أَرْبَعَ مِئَةٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. |
| BSB 18 When Peleg was 30 years old, he became the father of Reu. | SVD 18 وَعَاشَ فَالَجُ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً وَوَلَدَ رَعُوَ. |
| BSB 19 And after he had become the father of Reu, Peleg lived 209 years and had other sons and daughters. | SVD 19 وَعَاشَ فَالَجُ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ رَعُوَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَتِسْعَ سِنِينَ، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. |
| BSB 20 When Reu was 32 years old, he became the father of Serug. | SVD 20 وَعَاشَ رَعُو ٱثْنَتَيْنِ وَثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً وَوَلَدَ سَرُوجَ. |
| BSB 21 And after he had become the father of Serug, Reu lived 207 years and had other sons and daughters. | SVD 21 وَعَاشَ رَعُو بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ سَرُوجَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَسَبْعَ سِنِينَ، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. |
| BSB 22 When Serug was 30 years old, he became the father of Nahor. | SVD 22 وَعَاشَ سَرُوجُ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً وَوَلَدَ نَاحُورَ. |
| BSB 23 And after he had become the father of Nahor, Serug lived 200 years and had other sons and daughters. | SVD 23 وَعَاشَ سَرُوجُ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ نَاحُورَ مِئَتَيْ سَنَةٍ، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. |
| BSB 24 When Nahor was 29 years old, he became the father of Terah. | SVD 24 وَعَاشَ نَاحُورُ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً وَوَلَدَ تَارَحَ. |
| BSB 25 And after he had become the father of Terah, Nahor lived 119 years and had other sons and daughters. | SVD 25 وَعَاشَ نَاحُورُ بَعْدَ مَا وَلَدَ تَارَحَ مِئَةً وَتِسْعَ عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً، وَوَلَدَ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ. |
| BSB 26 When Terah was 70 years old, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. | SVD 26 وَعَاشَ تَارَحُ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً، وَوَلَدَ أَبْرَامَ وَنَاحُورَ وَهَارَانَ. |
| BSB 27 This is the account of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot. | SVD 27 وَهَذِهِ مَوَالِيدُ تَارَحَ: وَلَدَ تَارَحُ أَبْرَامَ وَنَاحُورَ وَهَارَانَ. وَوَلَدَ هَارَانُ لُوطًا. |
| BSB 28 During his father Terah’s lifetime, Haran died in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans. | SVD 28 وَمَاتَ هَارَانُ قَبْلَ تَارَحَ أَبِيهِ فِي أَرْضِ مِيلَادِهِ فِي أُورِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ. |
| BSB 29 And Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. Abram’s wife was named Sarai, and Nahor’s wife was named Milcah; she was the daughter of Haran, who was the father of both Milcah and Iscah. | SVD 29 وَٱتَّخَذَ أَبْرَامُ وَنَاحُورُ لِأَنْفُسِهِمَا ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ: ٱسْمُ ٱمْرَأَةِ أَبْرَامَ سَارَايُ، وَٱسْمُ ٱمْرَأَةِ نَاحُورَ مِلْكَةُ بِنْتُ هَارَانَ، أَبِي مِلْكَةَ وَأَبِي يِسْكَةَ. |
| BSB 30 But Sarai was barren; she had no children. | SVD 30 وَكَانَتْ سَارَايُ عَاقِرًا لَيْسَ لَهَا وَلَدٌ. |
| BSB 31 And Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai the wife of Abram, and they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans for the land of Canaan. But when they arrived in Haran, they settled there. | SVD 31 وَأَخَذَ تَارَحُ أَبْرَامَ ٱبْنَهُ، وَلُوطًا بْنَ هَارَانَ، ٱبْنَ ٱبْنِهِ، وَسَارَايَ كَنَّتَهُ ٱمْرَأَةَ أَبْرَامَ ٱبْنِهِ، فَخَرَجُوا مَعًا مِنْ أُورِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لِيَذْهَبُوا إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ. فَأَتَوْا إِلَى حَارَانَ وَأَقَامُوا هُنَاكَ. |
| BSB 32 Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Haran. | SVD 32 وَكَانَتْ أَيَّامُ تَارَحَ مِئَتَيْنِ وَخَمْسَ سِنِينَ. وَمَاتَ تَارَحُ فِي حَارَانَ. |
