1 Te tlam te vaan rhoek khaw, diklai khaw, amih kah caempuei boeih khaw a coeng.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.
2 Pathen loh amah kah a bi saii te hnin rhih neh a coeng tih a hnin rhih vaengah a bibi saii boeih te a duem tak.
And on the sixth day God finished his works which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his works which he had made.
3 Te phoeiah Pathen loh a rhih khohnin te yoethen a paek tih te te a ciim. Te vaengah Pathen tah saii ham a suen a bibi boeih lamloh duem.
So God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested on it from all his works which God had created and made.
4 He tah BOEIPA Pathen loh diklai neh vaan a saii tue ah a suen vaan neh diklai kah a rhuirhong ni.
This is the account of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, at the time when God made the earth and the heavens.
5 Te vaengah BOEIPA Pathen loh diklai la kho a tlan sak hlan dongah kohong kah tangpuem boeih khaw diklai ah poe hlan. Te dongah lohma kah baelhing boeih daih hlan tih lo tawn ham hlang ana om pawh.
Now no bush of the field was yet in the land, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted; for God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there were no people to cultivate the ground,
6 Tedae diklai lamkah tuihu ha thoeng tih diklai hman boeih a suep.
but springs came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 Te phoeiah BOEIPA Pathen loh diklai lamkah laipi te hlang la a hlinsai. Te phoeiah hingnah hiil te a hnarhong ah a ueng pah tih aka hing tongpa hinglu la coeng.
And God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
8 Te dongah BOEIPA Pathen loh khothoeng kah Eden ah dum a hlo tih a hlang saii te a khueh.
And God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 BOEIPA Pathen loh diklai lamkah thing mueimae then neh caak then boeih te a poe sak tih dum kah laklung ah hingnah thing neh a thae a then mingnah thing om.
And out of the ground God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Te vaengah dum aka suep ham Eden lamkah tuiva long tih te lamkah a phih uh vaengah tuisae pali la coeng.
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it separated and became the source of four rivers.
11 Lamhma kah a ming tah Pishon tih sui aka om Havilah khohmuen tom la a ken.
The name of the first is Pishon; this is the one which goes around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 Te khohmuen kah sui tah then tih thingpi neh oitha lungto khaw pahoi om.
and the gold of that land is good. There is aromatic resin and the onyx stone.
13 Te phoeiah tuiva pabae kah a ming tah Khusah khohmuen boeih aka hil Gihon ni.
And the name of the second river is Gihon; it goes around the whole land of Cush.
14 Te phoeiah tuiva a pathum kah ming tah khothoeng Assyria la aka long Khiddekel ni. Tuiva a pali nah tetah Perath ni.
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel; this is the one which flows east of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Perath.
15 Te phoeiah BOEIPA Pathen loh hlang te a loh tih Eden dum ah thotat ham neh dum aka hung ham a khueh.
And God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and take care of it.
16 Te dongah BOEIPA Pathen loh hlang taengah a uen tih, “Dum kah thingkung boeih te caak la ca.
And God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
17 Tedae a then neh a thae mingnah thingkung lamkah te ca boeh. Te te na caak hnin vaeng lamloh na duek rhoe na duek ni,” a ti nah.
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die."
18 Te vaengah BOEIPA Pathen loh, “Hlang he amah bueng tah om ham then pawh anih ham amah neh a naii uh la bomkung ka saii ni,” a ti.
And God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."
19 Te dongah BOEIPA Pathen loh diklai lamkah, a hlin a sai kohong mulhing boeih neh vaan kah vaa boeih soah metla a khue te hmuh ham khaw, hlang loh a khue boeih te tah mulhing hinglu ming la om sak ham khaw, hlang taengla a khuen.
And out of the ground God formed every tame animal, and every wild animal, and every flying creature of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
20 Te dongah hlang loh rhamsa boeih khaw, vaan kah vaa te khaw, kohong kah mulhing khaw, ming a paek dae Adam neh aka tiing la bomkung hmu pawh.
And the man gave names to all the tame animals, and to all the flying creatures of the sky, and to every wild animal; but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.
21 Te dongah BOEIPA Pathen loh tongpa te muelh a ih sak. A ih vaengah a vaerhuh pakhat te a loh pah phoeiah a pumsa kah a hma te tloep a saibawn sak.
So God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh at that place.
22 Te phoeiah BOEIPA Pathen loh tongpa lamkah a loh vaerhuh te huta la a saii tih tongpa taengla a khuen.
And the rib that God had taken from the man he fashioned into a woman and brought her to the man.
23 Te vaengah tongpa loh, “Tahae kah he ka rhuh lamkah ka rhuh, ka saa lamkah ka saa ni. Anih he tongpa lamkah a loh dongah huta tila ka khue ni,” a ti
And the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because this one was taken out of Man."
24 Te dongah tongpa loh a napa neh a manu te a toeng ni. Te phoeiah a yuu taengla khoem uh vetih pumsa pakhat la om rhoi ni.
Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
25 Te vaengah tongpa neh a yuu tah pumtling la om rhoi dae yak rhoi pawh.
And They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
