تكوين 9

Study

   

1 وبارك الله نوحا وبنيه وقال لهم اثمروا واكثروا واملأوا الارض.

2 ولتكن خشيتكم ورهبتكم على كل حيوانات الارض وكل طيور السماء. مع كل ما يدبّ على الارض وكل اسماك البحر قد دفعت الى ايديكم.

3 كل دابة حية تكون لكم طعاما. كالعشب الاخضر دفعت اليكم الجميع.

4 غير ان لحما بحياته دمه لا تاكلوه.

5 واطلب انا دمكم لانفسكم فقط. من يد كل حيوان اطلبه. ومن يد الانسان اطلب نفس الانسان. من يد الانسان اخيه.

6 سافك دم الانسان بالانسان يسفك دمه. لان الله على صورته عمل الانسان.

7 فاثمروا انتم واكثروا وتوالدوا في الارض وتكاثروا فيها

8 وكلم الله نوحا وبنيه معه قائلا.

9 وها انا مقيم ميثاقي معكم ومع نسلكم من بعدكم.

10 ومع كل ذوات الانفس الحيّة التي معكم. الطيور والبهائم وكل وحوش الارض التي معكم من جميع الخارجين من الفلك حتى كل حيوان الارض.

11 اقيم ميثاقي معكم فلا ينقرض كل ذي جسد ايضا بمياه الطوفان. ولا يكون ايضا طوفان ليخرب الارض.

12 وقال الله هذه علامة الميثاق الذي انا واضعه بيني وبينكم وبين كل ذوات الانفس الحيّة التي معكم الى اجيال الدهر.

13 وضعت قوسي في السحاب فتكون علامة ميثاق بيني وبين الارض.

14 فيكون متى انشر سحابا على الارض وتظهر القوس في السحاب

15 اني اذكر ميثاقي الذي بيني وبينكم وبين كل نفس حيّة في كل جسد. فلا تكون ايضا المياه طوفانا لتهلك كل ذي جسد.

16 فمتى كانت القوس في السحاب ابصرها لاذكر ميثاقا ابديا بين الله وبين كل نفس حيّة في كل جسد على الارض.

17 وقال الله لنوح هذه علامة الميثاق الذي انا اقمته بيني وبين كل ذي جسد على الارض

18 وكان بنو نوح الذين خرجوا من الفلك ساما وحاما ويافث. وحام هو ابو كنعان.

19 هؤلاء الثلاثة هم بنو نوح. ومن هؤلاء تشعبت كل الارض

20 وابتدأ نوح يكون فلاحا وغرس كرما.

21 وشرب من الخمر فسكر وتعرّى داخل خبائه.

22 فابصر حام ابو كنعان عورة ابيه واخبر اخويه خارجا.

23 فأخذ سام ويافث الرداء ووضعاه على اكتافهما ومشيا الى الوراء وسترا عورة ابيهما ووجهاهما الى الوراء. فلم يبصرا عورة ابيهما.

24 فلما استيقظ نوح من خمره علم ما فعل به ابنه الصغير.

25 فقال ملعون كنعان. عبد العبيد يكون لاخوته.

26 وقال مبارك الرب اله سام. وليكن كنعان عبدا لهم.

27 ليفتح الله ليافث فيسكن في مساكن سام. وليكن كنعان عبدا لهم

28 وعاش نوح بعد الطوفان ثلث مئة وخمسين سنة.

29 فكانت كل ايام نوح تسع مئة وخمسين سنة ومات

898. And behold, the faces of the ground were dry. That this signifies regeneration, is evident from the signification of “ground” as being the man of the church, which has been repeatedly shown above. The face of the ground is said to be “dry” when falsities no longer appear.

Genesis 8

Study

   

1 God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the livestock that were with him in the ship; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.

2 The deep's fountains and the sky's windows were also stopped, and the rain from the sky was restrained.

3 The waters receded from the earth continually. After the end of one hundred fifty days the waters decreased.

4 The ship rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Ararat's mountains.

5 The waters receded continually until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

6 It happened at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ship which he had made,

7 and he sent forth a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.

8 He sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from the surface of the ground,

9 but the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him into the ship; for the waters were on the surface of the whole earth. He put forth his hand, and took her, and brought her to him into the ship.

10 He stayed yet another seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ship.

11 The dove came back to him at evening, and, behold, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from the earth.

12 He stayed yet another seven days, and sent forth the dove; and she didn't return to him any more.

13 It happened in the six hundred first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ship, and looked. He saw that the surface of the ground was dried.

14 In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.

15 God spoke to Noah, saying,

16 "Go out of the ship, you, and your wife, and your sons, and your sons' wives with you.

17 Bring forth with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh, including birds, livestock, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply on the earth."

18 Noah went forth, with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives with him.

19 Every animal, every creeping thing, and every bird, whatever moves on the earth, after their families, went out of the ship.

20 Noah built an altar to Yahweh, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

21 Yahweh smelled the pleasant aroma. Yahweh said in his heart, "I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, because the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I ever again strike everything living, as I have done.

22 While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
