Genesis 2

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

1 فَأُكْمِلَتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَكُلُّ جُنْدِهَا.

2 And by the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work.

2 وَفَرَغَ ٱللهُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ. فَٱسْتَرَاحَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ عَمَلِهِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ.

3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on that day He rested from all the work of creation that He had accomplished.

3 وَبَارَكَ ٱللهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلسَّابِعَ وَقَدَّسَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ فِيهِ ٱسْتَرَاحَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ عَمَلِهِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ ٱللهُ خَالِقًا.

4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.

4 هَذِهِ مَبَادِئُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ حِينَ خُلِقَتْ، يَوْمَ عَمِلَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.

5 Now no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth, nor had any plant of the field sprouted, for the LORD God had not yet sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.

5 كُلُّ شَجَرِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَعْدُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَكُلُّ عُشْبِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لَمْ يَنْبُتْ بَعْدُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْإِلَهَ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ أَمْطَرَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَا كَانَ إِنْسَانٌ لِيَعْمَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ.

6 But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.

6 ثُمَّ كَانَ ضَبَابٌ يَطْلَعُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَسْقِي كُلَّ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

7 Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.

7 وَجَبَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ تُرَابًا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَنَفَخَ فِي أَنْفِهِ نَسَمَةَ حَيَاةٍ. فَصَارَ آدَمُ نَفْسًا حَيَّةً.

8 And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.

8 وَغَرَسَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ جَنَّةً فِي عَدْنٍ شَرْقًا، وَوَضَعَ هُنَاكَ آدَمَ ٱلَّذِي جَبَلَهُ.

9 Out of the ground the LORD God gave growth to every tree that is pleasing to the eye and good for food. And in the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

9 وَأَنْبَتَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ شَهِيَّةٍ لِلنَّظَرِ وَجَيِّدَةٍ لِلْأَكْلِ، وَشَجَرَةَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ، وَشَجَرَةَ مَعْرِفَةِ ٱلْخَيْرِ وَٱلشَّرِّ.

10 Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:

10 وَكَانَ نَهْرٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ عَدْنٍ لِيَسْقِيَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ، وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ يَنْقَسِمُ فَيَصِيرُ أَرْبَعَةَ رُؤُوسٍ:

11 The name of the first river is the Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.

11 اِسْمُ ٱلْوَاحِدِ فِيشُونُ، وَهُوَ ٱلْمُحِيطُ بِجَمِيعِ أَرْضِ ٱلْحَوِيلَةِ حَيْثُ ٱلذَّهَبُ.

12 And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.

12 وَذَهَبُ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ جَيِّدٌ. هُنَاكَ ٱلْمُقْلُ وَحَجَرُ ٱلْجَزْعِ.

13 The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the whole land of Cush.

13 وَٱسْمُ ٱلنَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِى جِيحُونُ، وَهُوَ ٱلْمُحِيطُ بِجَمِيعِ أَرْضِ كُوشٍ.

14 The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

14 وَٱسْمُ ٱلنَّهْرِ ٱلثَّالِثِ حِدَّاقِلُ، وَهُوَ ٱلْجَارِي شَرْقِيَّ أَشُّورَ. وَٱلنَّهْرُ ٱلرَّابِعُ ٱلْفُرَاتُ.

15 Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.

15 وَأَخَذَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ وَوَضَعَهُ فِي جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ لِيَعْمَلَهَا وَيَحْفَظَهَا.

16 And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,

16 وَأَوْصَى ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ قَائِلًا: «مِنْ جَمِيعِ شَجَرِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ تَأْكُلُ أَكْلًا،

17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”

17 وَأَمَّا شَجَرَةُ مَعْرِفَةِ ٱلْخَيْرِ وَٱلشَّرِّ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا، لِأَنَّكَ يَوْمَ تَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ».

18 The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”

18 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ: «لَيْسَ جَيِّدًا أَنْ يَكُونَ آدَمُ وَحْدَهُ، فَأَصْنَعَ لَهُ مُعِينًا نَظِيرَهُ».

19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and He brought them to the man to see what he would name each one. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.

19 وَجَبَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلَّ حَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَكُلَّ طُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، فَأَحْضَرَهَا إِلَى آدَمَ لِيَرَى مَاذَا يَدْعُوهَا، وَكُلُّ مَا دَعَا بِهِ آدَمُ ذَاتَ نَفْسٍ حَيَّةٍ فَهُوَ ٱسْمُهَا.

20 The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.

20 فَدَعَا آدَمُ بِأَسْمَاءٍ جَمِيعَ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَطُيُورَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَجَمِيعَ حَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. وَأَمَّا لِنَفْسِهِ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ مُعِينًا نَظِيرَهُ.

21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the area with flesh.

21 فَأَوْقَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ سُبَاتًا عَلَى آدَمَ فَنَامَ، فَأَخَذَ وَاحِدَةً مِنْ أَضْلَاعِهِ وَمَلَأَ مَكَانَهَا لَحْمًا.

22 And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.

22 وَبَنَى ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلضِّلْعَ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذَهَا مِنْ آدَمَ ٱمْرَأَةً وَأَحْضَرَهَا إِلَى آدَمَ.

23 And the man said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for out of man she was taken.”

23 فَقَالَ آدَمُ: «هَذِهِ ٱلْآنَ عَظْمٌ مِنْ عِظَامِي وَلَحْمٌ مِنْ لَحْمِي. هَذِهِ تُدْعَى ٱمْرَأَةً لِأَنَّهَا مِنِ ٱمْرِءٍ أُخِذَتْ».

24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

24 لِذَلِكَ يَتْرُكُ ٱلرَّجُلُ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ وَيَلْتَصِقُ بِٱمْرَأَتِهِ وَيَكُونَانِ جَسَدًا وَاحِدًا.

25 And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.

25 وَكَانَا كِلَاهُمَا عُرْيَانَيْنِ، آدَمُ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ، وَهُمَا لَا يَخْجَلَانِ.
