Paidaaish 7

sailaab ka aghaaz

¹phir rabb nay nooh say kaha, “apnay gharaanay samet kashtee men daakhil ho ja, kyoonki is daur kay logon men say main nay sirf tujhay raastbaaz paaya hai. ²har qism kay paak jaanvaron men say saat saat nar-o-maada kay joday jabki naapaak jaanvaron men say nar-o-maada ka sirf ek ek joda saath lay jaana. ³isee tarah har qism kay par rakhnay vaalon men say saat saat nar-o-maada kay joday bhee saath lay jaana taaki un kee naslen bachee rahen. ⁴ek haftay kay baad main chaalees din aur chaalees raat mutvaatir baarish barasaaoonga. is say main tamaam jaandaaron ko roo-ay-zameen par say mita daaloonga, agarchi main hee nay unhen banaaya hai.”

⁵nooh nay vaisa hee kiya jaisa rabb nay hukm diya tha. ⁶vah 600 saal ka tha jab yah toofaanee sailaab zameen par aaya.

⁷toofaanee sailaab say bachnay kay liyay nooh apnay beton, apnee beevee aur bahooon kay saath kashtee men savaar hua. ⁸zameen par phirnay vaalay paak aur naapaak jaanvar, par rakhnay vaalay aur tamaam rengnay vaalay jaanvar bhee aaay. ⁹nar-o-maada kee soorat men do do ho kar vah nooh kay paas a kar kashtee men savaar huay. sab kuchh vaisa hee hua jaisa allaah nay nooh ko hukm diya tha. ¹⁰ek haftay kay baad toofaanee sailaab zameen par a gaya.

¹¹yah sab kuchh us vaqt hua jab nooh 600 saal ka tha. doosray maheenay kay 17ven din zameen kee gaheraaiyon men say tamaam chashmay phoot niklay aur aasmaan par paanee kay dareechay khul gaay. ¹²chaalees din aur chaalees raat tak mooslaadhaar baarish hotee rahee. ¹³jab baarish shuroo huee to nooh, us kay betay sim, haam aur yaafat, us kee beevee aur bahooen kashtee men savaar ho chukay thay. ¹⁴un kay saath har qism kay janglee jaanvar, maveshee, rengnay aur par rakhnay vaalay jaanvar thay. ¹⁵har qism kay jaandaar do do ho kar nooh kay paas a kar kashtee men savaar ho chukay thay. ¹⁶nar-o-maada aaay thay. sab kuchh vaisa hee hua tha jaisa allaah nay nooh ko hukm diya tha. phir rabb nay darvaazay ko band kar diya.

¹⁷chaalees din tak toofaanee sailaab jaaree raha. paanee chadha to us nay kashtee ko zameen par say utha liya. ¹⁸paanee zor pakad kar bahut badh gaya, aur kashtee us par tairnay lagee. ¹⁹aakhirkaar paanee itna ziyaada ho gaya ki tamaam oonchay pahaad bhee us men chhup gaay, ²⁰balki sab say oonchee chotee par paanee kee gaheraaee 20 fut thee. ²¹zameen par rahenay vaalee har makhlooq halaak huee. parinday, maveshee, janglee jaanvar, tamaam jaandaar jin say zameen bharee huee thee aur insaan, sab kuchh mar gaya. ²²zameen par har jaandaar makhlooq halaak huee. ²³yoon har makhlooq ko roo-ay-zameen par say mita diya gaya. insaan, zameen par phirnay aur rengnay vaalay jaanvar aur parinday, sab kuchh khatm kar diya gaya. sirf nooh aur kashtee men savaar us kay saathee bach gaay.

²⁴sailaab dedh sau din tak zameen par ghaalib raha.
