< Genesis 2 >

1 Motero kumwamba, dziko lapansi ndi zonse za mʼmenemo zinatha kulengedwa monga mwa kuchuluka kwawo.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 Pofika tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri Mulungu anamaliza ntchito zonse zimene ankagwira ndipo pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri anapumula ku ntchito zake zonse.
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 Ndipo Mulungu anadalitsa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri nalipatula, chifukwa pa tsiku limeneli Iye anapumula ku ntchito yonse yolenga imene anayigwira.
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
4 Mbiri ya momwe kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi zinalengedwera pa tsiku lija Yehova Mulungu ankazilenga ndi iyi: Yehova Mulungu atapanga dziko lapansi ndi kumwamba,
These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.
5 zitsamba zinali zisanamere ndipo chomera chilichonse chinali chisanamerenso popeza Yehova Mulungu anali asanagwetse mvula pa dziko lapansi. Panalibe munthu wolima nthaka,
And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and [there was] not a man to till the ground.
6 koma kasupe ankatuluka mʼnthaka ndi kuthirira pa dziko lonse.
But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 Tsono Yehova Mulungu anawumba munthu kuchokera ku dothi nawuziramo mpweya wamoyo mʼmphuno mwake ndipo munthuyo anakhala wamoyo.
And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 Kenaka Yehova Mulungu anatsekula munda wa Edeni chakummawa; kumeneko anayikako munthu amene anamupanga uja.
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 Ndipo Yehova Mulungu anameretsa mʼmundamo mitengo ya mitundu yonse. Inali mitengo yokongola ndi ya zipatso zokoma. Pakati pa munda uja panali mtengo wopatsa moyo ndi mtengo wopatsa nzeru zodziwitsa chabwino ndi choyipa.
And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10 Mtsinje wothirira mundawo unkatuluka mu Edeni; kuchokera apo unkagawikana kukhala mitsinje inayi.
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden: and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
11 Dzina la mtsinje woyamba ndi Pisoni; uwu umazungulira dziko lonse la Havila, kumene kuli golide.
The name of the first [is] Pison, which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where [there is] gold;
12 (Golide wa ku dziko ili ndi wabwino. Kulinso miyala yokongola ya bedola ndi onikisi).
And the gold of that land [is] good: there [is] bdellium and the onyx-stone.
13 Dzina la mtsinje wachiwiri ndi Gihoni; uwu umazungulira dziko lonse la Kusi.
And the name of the second river [is] Gihon: the same that compasseth the whole land of Cush.
14 Dzina la mtsinje wachitatu ndi Tigirisi; umayenda chakummawa kwa Asiriya. Ndipo mtsinje wachinayi ndi Yufurate.
And the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel: which floweth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river [is] Euphrates.
15 Yehova Mulungu anatenga munthu uja ndi kumuyika mʼmunda wa Edeni kuti awulime ndi kuwusamalira.
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to dress it, and to keep it.
16 Ndipo Yehova Mulungu analamula munthu uja kuti, “Uzidya zipatso za mu mtengo wina uliwonse mʼmundamu;
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 koma usadye zipatso za mu mtengo wodziwitsa chabwino ndi choyipa, popeza ukadzadya za mu mtengowu udzafa ndithu.”
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt surely die.
18 Ndipo Yehova Mulungu anati, “Sibwino kuti munthu akhale yekha. Ndidzamupangira mnzake womuthandiza.”
And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone: I will make him a help meet for him.
19 Kenaka Yehova Mulungu anawumba ndi dothi nyama zonse zakuthengo ndi mbalame zonse zamlengalenga. Ndipo Iye anapita nazo kwa munthu uja kuti akazipatse mayina; ndipo dzina lililonse limene Adamu anapereka ku chamoyo chilichonse, lomwelo linakhala dzina lake.
And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air, and brought [them] to Adam to see what he would call them; and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] its name.
20 Choncho Adamu anazitcha mayina ziweto zonse, mbalame zamlengalenga ndi nyama zakuthengo zonse. Komabe munthu uja analibe mnzake womuthandiza.
And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowls of the air, and to every beast of the field: but for Adam there was not found a help meet for him.
21 Tsono Yehova Mulungu anamugonetsa munthu uja tulo tofa nato; ali mtulo chomwecho, Mulungu anachotsa imodzi mwa nthiti zake ndi kutseka pamalopo ndi mnofu.
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
22 Motero Yehova Mulungu anapanga mkazi ndi nthiti ija imene anatenga kwa munthu uja nabwera naye kwa iye.
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, he made woman, and brought her to the man.
23 Munthu uja anati, “Uyu ndiye fupa lochokera ku mafupa anga ndi mnofu wochokera ku mnofu wanga; adzatchedwa ‘mkazi,’ popeza wachokera mwa mwamuna.”
And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of man.
24 Nʼchifukwa chake, mwamuna amasiya abambo ndi amayi ake nakaphatikana ndi mkazi wake ndipo awiriwo amakhala thupi limodzi.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 Munthu uja ndi mkazi wakeyo, onse awiri anali maliseche ndipo analibe manyazi.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
