1 Te tlam te vaan rhoek khaw, diklai khaw, amih kah caempuei boeih khaw a coeng.
The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished.
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.
On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.
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.
God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done.
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 history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh 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.
No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,
6 Tedae diklai lamkah tuihu ha thoeng tih diklai hman boeih a suep.
but a mist went 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.
Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 Te dongah BOEIPA Pathen loh khothoeng kah Eden ah dum a hlo tih a hlang saii te a khueh.
Yahweh 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.
Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the tree of life 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.
A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, 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: it flows through 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. Bdellium and onyx stone are also there.
13 Te phoeiah tuiva pabae kah a ming tah Khusah khohmuen boeih aka hil Gihon ni.
The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through 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.
The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 Te phoeiah BOEIPA Pathen loh hlang te a loh tih Eden dum ah thotat ham neh dum aka hung ham a khueh.
Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
16 Te dongah BOEIPA Pathen loh hlang taengah a uen tih, “Dum kah thingkung boeih te caak la ca.
Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
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 you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; 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.
Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to 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.
Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature became 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.
The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper comparable to 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.
Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. As the man slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
22 Te phoeiah BOEIPA Pathen loh tongpa lamkah a loh vaerhuh te huta la a saii tih tongpa taengla a khuen.
Yahweh God made a woman from the rib which he had taken from the man, 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
The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called ‘woman,’ because she 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 they will be one flesh.
25 Te vaengah tongpa neh a yuu tah pumtling la om rhoi dae yak rhoi pawh.
The man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
