Genesis 9

1 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

1 وَبَارَكَ ٱللهُ نُوحًا وَبَنِيهِ وَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَثْمِرُوا وَٱكْثُرُوا وَٱمْلَأُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ.

2 The fear and dread of you will fall on every living creature on the earth, every bird of the air, every creature that crawls on the ground, and all the fish of the sea. They are delivered into your hand.

2 وَلْتَكُنْ خَشْيَتُكُمْ وَرَهْبَتُكُمْ عَلَى كُلِّ حَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَكُلِّ طُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، مَعَ كُلِّ مَا يَدِبُّ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَكُلِّ أَسْمَاكِ ٱلْبَحْرِ. قَدْ دُفِعَتْ إِلَى أَيْدِيكُمْ.

3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you; just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you all things.

3 كُلُّ دَابَّةٍ حَيَّةٍ تَكُونُ لَكُمْ طَعَامًا. كَٱلْعُشْبِ ٱلْأَخْضَرِ دَفَعْتُ إِلَيْكُمُ ٱلْجَمِيعَ.

4 But you must not eat meat with its lifeblood still in it.

4 غَيْرَ أَنَّ لَحْمًا بِحَيَاتِهِ، دَمِهِ، لَا تَأْكُلُوهُ.

5 And surely I will require the life of any man or beast by whose hand your lifeblood is shed. I will demand an accounting from anyone who takes the life of his fellow man:

5 وَأَطْلُبُ أَنَا دَمَكُمْ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ فَقَطْ. مِنْ يَدِ كُلِّ حَيَوَانٍ أَطْلُبُهُ. وَمِنْ يَدِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ أَطْلُبُ نَفْسَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ أَخِيهِ.

6 Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.

6 سَافِكُ دَمِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ بِٱلْإِنْسَانِ يُسْفَكُ دَمُهُ. لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ عَلَى صُورَتِهِ عَمِلَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ.

7 But as for you, be fruitful and multiply; spread out across the earth and multiply upon it.”

7 فَأَثْمِرُوا أَنْتُمْ وَٱكْثُرُوا وَتَوَالَدُوا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَتَكَاثَرُوا فِيهَا».

8 Then God said to Noah and his sons with him,

8 وَكَلَّمَ ٱللهُ نُوحًا وَبَنِيهِ مَعهُ قَائِلًا:

9 “Behold, I now establish My covenant with you and your descendants after you,

9 «وَهَا أَنَا مُقِيمٌ مِيثَاقِي مَعَكُمْ وَمَعَ نَسْلِكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ،

10 and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth—every living thing that came out of the ark.

10 وَمَعَ كُلِّ ذَوَاتِ ٱلْأَنْفُسِ ٱلْحَيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي مَعَكُمْ: ٱلطُّيُورِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَكُلِّ وُحُوشِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي مَعَكُمْ، مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْخَارِجِينَ مِنَ ٱلْفُلْكِ حَتَّى كُلُّ حَيَوَانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

11 And I establish My covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

11 أُقِيمُ مِيثَاقِي مَعَكُمْ فَلَا يَنْقَرِضُ كُلُّ ذِي جَسَدٍ أَيْضًا بِمِيَاهِ ٱلطُّوفَانِ. وَلَا يَكُونُ أَيْضًا طُوفَانٌ لِيُخْرِبَ ٱلْأَرْضَ».

12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between Me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:

12 وَقَالَ ٱللهُ: «هَذِهِ عَلَامَةُ ٱلْمِيثَاقِ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا وَاضِعُهُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ، وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ ذَوَاتِ ٱلْأَنْفُسِ ٱلْحَيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي مَعَكُمْ إِلَى أَجْيَالِ ٱلدَّهْرِ:

13 I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

13 وَضَعْتُ قَوْسِي فِي ٱلسَّحَابِ فَتَكُونُ عَلَامَةَ مِيثَاقٍ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

14 Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,

14 فَيَكُونُ مَتَى أَنْشُرْ سَحَابًا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَتَظْهَرِ ٱلْقَوْسُ فِي ٱلسَّحَابِ،

15 I will remember My covenant between Me and you and every living creature of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.

15 أَنِّي أَذْكُرُ مِيثَاقِي ٱلَّذِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ نَفْسٍ حَيَّةٍ فِي كُلِّ جَسَدٍ. فَلَا تَكُونُ أَيْضًا ٱلْمِيَاهُ طُوفَانًا لِتُهْلِكَ كُلَّ ذِي جَسَدٍ.

16 And whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of every kind that is on the earth.”

16 فَمَتَى كَانَتِ ٱلْقَوْسُ فِي ٱلسَّحَابِ، أُبْصِرُهَا لِأَذْكُرَ مِيثَاقًا أَبَدِيًّا بَيْنَ ٱللهِ وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ نَفْسٍ حَيَّةٍ فِي كُلِّ جَسَدٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ».

17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and every creature on the earth.”

17 وَقَالَ ٱللهُ لِنُوحٍ: «هَذِهِ عَلَامَةُ ٱلْمِيثَاقِ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا أَقَمْتُهُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ ذِي جَسَدٍ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ».

18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.

18 وَكَانَ بَنُو نُوحٍ ٱلَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا مِنَ ٱلْفُلْكِ سَامًا وَحَامًا وَيَافَثَ. وَحَامٌ هُوَ أَبُو كَنْعَانَ.

19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from them the whole earth was populated.

19 هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ هُمْ بَنُو نُوحٍ. وَمِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ تَشَعَّبَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

20 Now Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard.

20 وَٱبْتَدَأَ نُوحٌ يَكُونُ فَلَّاحًا وَغَرَسَ كَرْمًا.

21 But when he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent.

21 وَشَرِبَ مِنَ ٱلْخَمْرِ فَسَكِرَ وَتَعَرَّى دَاخِلَ خِبَائِهِ.

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father’s nakedness and told his two brothers outside.

22 فَأَبْصَرَ حَامٌ أَبُو كَنْعَانَ عَوْرَةَ أَبِيهِ، وَأَخْبَرَ أَخَوَيْهِ خَارِجًا.

23 Then Shem and Japheth took a garment and placed it across their shoulders, and walking backward, they covered their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned away so that they did not see their father’s nakedness.

23 فَأَخَذَ سَامٌ وَيَافَثُ ٱلرِّدَاءَ وَوَضَعَاهُ عَلَى أَكْتَافِهِمَا وَمَشَيَا إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ، وَسَتَرَا عَوْرَةَ أَبِيهِمَا وَوَجْهَاهُمَا إِلَى ٱلْوَرَاءِ. فَلَمْ يُبْصِرَا عَوْرَةَ أَبِيهِمَا.

24 When Noah awoke from his drunkenness and learned what his youngest son had done to him,

24 فَلَمَّا ٱسْتَيْقَظَ نُوحٌ مِنْ خَمْرِهِ، عَلِمَ مَا فَعَلَ بِهِ ٱبْنُهُ ٱلصَّغِيرُ،

25 he said, “Cursed be Canaan! A servant of servants shall he be to his brothers.”

25 فَقَالَ: «مَلْعُونٌ كَنْعَانُ! عَبْدَ ٱلْعَبِيدِ يَكُونُ لإِخْوَتِهِ».

26 He also declared: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the servant of Shem.

26 وَقَالَ: «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ سَامٍ. وَلْيَكُنْ كَنْعَانُ عَبْدًا لَهُمْ.

27 May God expand the territory of Japheth; may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his servant.”

27 لِيَفْتَحِ ٱللهُ لِيَافَثَ فَيَسْكُنَ فِي مَسَاكِنِ سَامٍ، وَلْيَكُنْ كَنْعَانُ عَبْدًا لَهُمْ».

28 After the flood, Noah lived 350 years.

28 وَعَاشَ نُوحٌ بَعْدَ ٱلطُّوفَانِ ثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً.

29 So Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.

29 فَكَانَتْ كُلُّ أَيَّامِ نُوحٍ تِسْعَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، وَمَاتَ.
