Genesis 8

1 But God remembered Noah and all the animals and livestock that were with him in the ark. And God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters began to subside.

1 ثُمَّ افْتَقَدَ اللهُ نُوحاً وَمَا مَعَهُ فِي الْفُلْكِ مِنْ وُحُوشٍ وبَهَائِمَ، فَأَرْسَلَ رِيحاً عَلَى الأَرْضِ فَتَقَلَّصَتِ الْمِيَاهُ

2 The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

2 وَانْسَدَّتْ يَنَابِيعُ الْمَاءِ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاءِ، وَاحْتَبَسَ الْمَطَرُ.

3 The waters receded steadily from the earth, and after 150 days the waters had gone down.

3 وَتَرَاجَعَتِ الْمِيَاهُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ تَدْرِيجِيًّا. وَبَعْدَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ يَوْماً نَقَصَتِ الْمِيَاهُ.

4 On the seventeenth day of the seventh month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

4 وَاسْتَقَرَّ الْفُلْكُ عَلَى جِبَالِ أَرَارَاطَ فِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ السَّابِعِ لِلطُّوفَانِ.

5 And the waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.

5 وَظَلَّتِ الْمِيَاهُ تَتَنَاقَصُ تَدْرِيجِيًّا حَتَّى الشَّهْرِ الْعَاشِرِ. وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الْعَاشِرِ بَدَتْ قِمَمُ الْجِبَالِ.

6 After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark

6 وَبَعْدَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً أُخْرَى فَتَحَ نُوحٌ النَّافِذَةَ الَّتِي كَانَ قَدْ عَمِلَهَا فِي الْفُلْكِ.

7 and sent out a raven. It kept flying back and forth until the waters had dried up from the earth.

7 وَأَطْلَقَ غُرَاباً، فَخَرَجَ وَظَلَّ يَحُومُ مُتَرَدِّداً إِلَى الْفُلْكِ حَتَّى جَفَّتِ الْمِيَاهُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ.

8 Then Noah sent out a dove to see if the waters had receded from the surface of the ground.

8 ثُمَّ أَطْلَقَ نُوحٌ حَمَامَةً مِنَ الْفُلْكِ لِيَرَى إِنْ كَانَتِ الْمِيَاهُ قَدْ تَقَلَّصَتْ عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ،

9 But the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, because the waters were still covering the surface of all the earth. So he reached out his hand and brought her back inside the ark.

9 وَلَكِنَّ الْحَمَامَةَ لَمْ تَجِدْ مَوْضِعاً تَسْتَقِرُّ عَلَيْهِ رِجْلُهَا فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْفُلْكِ، لأَنَّ الْمِيَاهَ كَانَتْ مَازَالَتْ تَغْمُرُ سَطْحَ الأَرْضِ، فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ وَأَخَذَهَا، وَأَدْخَلَهَا عِنْدَهُ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ.

10 Noah waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark.

10 وَانْتَظَرَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ أُخْرَى ثُمَّ عَادَ فَأَطْلَقَ الْحَمَامَةَ مِنَ الْفُلْكِ،

11 And behold, the dove returned to him in the evening with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her beak. So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.

11 فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ تَحْمِلُ فِي مِنْقَارِهَا وَرَقَةَ زَيْتُونٍ خَضْرَاءَ، فَأَدْرَكَ نُوحٌ أَنَّ الْمِيَاهَ قَدْ تَنَاقَصَتْ عَنِ الأَرْضِ.

12 And Noah waited seven more days and sent out the dove again, but this time she did not return to him.

12 فَمَكَثَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ أُخْرَى ثُمَّ أَطْلَقَ الْحَمَامَةَ فَلَمْ تَرْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ.

13 In Noah’s six hundred and first year, on the first day of the first month, the waters had dried up from the earth. So Noah removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry.

13 وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ وَالسِّتِّ مِئَةٍ مِنْ عُمْرِ نُوحٍ، جَفَّتِ الْمِيَاهُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ، فَرَفَعَ نُوحٌ سَقْفَ الْفُلْكِ وَتَطَلَّعَ حَوْلَهُ، فَرَأَى أَنَّ سَطْحَ الأَرْضِ قَدْ أَخَذَ فِي الْجَفَافِ.

14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month, the earth was fully dry.

14 وَلَكِنَّ الأَرْضَ لَمْ تَجِفَّ تَمَاماً إِلّا فِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الثَّانِي.

15 Then God said to Noah,

15 وَخَاطَبَ اللهُ نُوحاً قَائِلا:

16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife, along with your sons and their wives.

16 «اخْرُجْ مِنَ الْفُلْكِ أَنْتَ وَامْرَأَتُكَ وَبَنُوكَ وَنِسَاءُ بَنِيكَ مَعَكَ،

17 Bring out all the living creatures that are with you—birds, livestock, and everything that crawls upon the ground—so that they can spread out over the earth and be fruitful and multiply upon it.”

17 وَأَخْرِجْ كُلَّ مَا مَعَكَ مِنَ الْكَائِنَاتِ الْحَيَّةِ، مِنْ طُيُورٍ وَبَهَائِمَ وَكُلِّ مَا يَزْحَفُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ لِتَتَوَالَدَ وَتَتَكَاثَرَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ».

18 So Noah came out, along with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives.

18 وَخَرَجَ نُوحٌ وَبَنُوهُ وَامْرَأَتُهُ وَزَوْجَاتُ بَنِيهِ مَعَهُ.

19 Every living creature, every creeping thing, and every bird—everything that moves upon the earth—came out of the ark, kind by kind.

19 وَكَذَلِكَ خَرَجَتْ مَعَهُ كُلُّ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ، وَالزَّوَاحِفِ وَالطُّيُورِ، وَكُلُّ مَا يَدِبُّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، كُلٌّ مِنْهَا كَجِنْسِهَا.

20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD. And taking from every kind of clean animal and clean bird, he offered burnt offerings on the altar.

20 وَبَنَى نُوحٌ مَذْبَحاً لِلرَّبِّ ثُمَّ اخْتَارَ بَعْضاً مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْبَهَائِمِ وَالطُّيُورِ الطَّاهِرَةِ وَقَرَّبَهَا مُحْرَقَاتٍ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ.

21 When the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, He said in His heart, “Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth. And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done.

21 فَتَقَبَّلَهَا الرَّبُّ بِرِضًى، وَقَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ: «لَنْ أَلْعَنَ الأَرْضَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى مِنْ أَجْلِ الإِنْسَانِ، لأَنَّ أَهْوَاءَ قَلْبِ الإِنْسَانِ شِرِّيرَةٌ مُنْذُ حَدَاثَتِهِ وَلَنْ أُقْدِمَ عَلَى إِهْلاكِ كُلِّ حَيٍّ كَمَا فَعَلْتُ.

22 As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall never cease.”

22 وَتَكُونُ كُلُّ أَيَّامِ الأَرْضِ مَوَاسِمَ زَرْعٍ وَحَصَادٍ وَبَرْدٍ وَحَرٍّ وَصَيْفٍ وَشِتَاءٍ وَنَهَارٍ وَلَيْلٍ، لَنْ تَبْطُلَ أَبَداً».
