Kamtawngnae 2
1 Hottelah kalvan hoi talai, a thung kaawm e pueng teh koung a cum.
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
2 Hahoi, a cum e thaw hah asari hnin dawk Cathut ni a pâpout. Hahoi, thaw pueng a cum dawkvah, asari hnin a kâhat.
And by the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work.
3 Hottelah, Cathut ni asari hnin hah yawhawi a poe teh a thoungsak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a sak e hnopueng koung a cum toung dawkvah, hote hnin dawk a kâhat.
Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on that day He rested from all the work of creation that He had accomplished.
4 Hetenaw teh kalvan hoi talai a saknae hnin navah,
This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.
5 talai dawk phokung pâw hoehnahlan, law dawk patue e hai a pâw hoehnahlan, BAWIPA Cathut ni talai van khorak sak hoeh rah. Talai dawk ka tawk hane tami hai awm hoeh rah.
Now no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth, nor had any plant of the field sprouted; for the LORD God had not yet sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.
6 Hatei, talai dawk hoi tui kahû a tâco sak teh, talai pueng a duk sak.
But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 Hahoi, BAWIPA Cathut ni talai dawk e vaiphu hoi tami a sak teh, hringnae kâha a hnawng dawk hoi a poe hnukkhu tami teh kahring e tami lah a kangcoung.
Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.
8 Hahoi BAWIPA Cathut ni kanîtholah, Eden hmuen dawkvah, takha buet touh a sak teh, a sak e tami hah hawvah a hruek.
And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.
9 Hote talai dawk a meikahawi niteh, cakawi thingkung aphunphun a pâw sak. Takha lungui vah, hringnae thingkung hoi thoe hoi hawi panuenae thingkung hai a pâw sak.
Out of the ground the LORD God gave growth to every tree that is pleasing to the eye and good for food. And in the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Takha kaduksak hanelah, Eden hoi tui buet touh a lawng teh, takha lawilah hoi pali touh lah a kampek teh tuisei pali touh lah a coung.
Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:
11 Apasueke tui min teh Pishon. Sui onae Havilah ram pueng, kâkalup lah a lawng.
The name of the first river is Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 Hote ram dawk e sui teh, ahawi. Hote hmuen koe Dellium hoi Onyx talung aphu kaawm e hai ao.
And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.
13 Apâhni e tui min teh Gihon. Kush ram kâkalup lah a lawng.
The name of the second river is Gihon; it winds through the whole land of Cush.
14 Hahoi apâthum e tui min teh Khiddekel. Assiria ram kanîtholah a lawng teh, apali e tui min teh Euphrates.
The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it runs along the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 BAWIPA Cathut ni tami a la teh, Eden takha dawk thaw tawk hane hoi khetyawt hanelah a hruek.
Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
16 Hahoi, BAWIPA Cathut ni tami koe kâ a poe e teh, thoe hoi hawi panuenae thingkung hloilah, hote takha dawk kaawm e thingpaw pueng teh, na ca thai.
And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,
17 Hatei, thoe hoi hawi panuenae thingpaw teh na cat mahoeh. Na cat pawiteh, na ca hnin na due roeroe han atipouh.
but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”
18 Hahoi, BAWIPA Cathut ni tongpa teh amadueng ao e hawihoeh a titeh, kabawmkung kahawi ka sak pouh han ati.
The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”
19 BAWIPA Cathut ni talai a la teh, talai van e saring pueng hoi kalvan e tava pueng a sak hnukkhu, min phung hanelah, Adam koe a thokhai. Adam ni hai a thokhai e saring pueng min a phung e patetlah min lengkaleng a tawn awh.
And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and He brought them to the man to see what he would name each one. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
20 Hottelah, saringpueng, kalvan e tava pueng, moithang pueng Adam ni min a phung. Hatei, Adam kabawmkung kahawi awm hoeh rah.
The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.
21 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA Cathut ni Adam mat a i sak teh, a i lahun nah a nâhru buet touh a rayu pouh teh, a tak hoi bout a pâbing pouh.
So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the area with flesh.
22 Hahoi, BAWIPA Cathut ni tongpa dawk hoi a rayu e a nâhru hoi napui a sak teh, tongpa koe a thokhai.
And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.
23 Hahoi, Adam ni hethateh, ka hru thung e ka hru, ka tak thung e ka tak doeh. Tongpa thung e rayu e lah ao dawkvah, napui telah phung hanelah ao ati.
And the man said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for out of man she was taken.”
24 Hatdawkvah, tongpa ni manu hoi na pa a ceitakhai han. Hathnukkhu, a yu hoi a kâpahlawm vaiteh, takthai buet touh lah a coung han.
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
25 Tongpa hoi a yu teh, caici lah ao roi eiteh, kayanae tawn roi hoeh.
And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
