Kamtawngnae 2
1 Hottelah kalvan hoi talai, a thung kaawm e pueng teh koung a cum.
And so the heavens and the earth were completed, with all their adornment.
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 on the seventh day, God fulfilled his work, which he had made. And on the seventh day he rested from all his work, which he had accomplished.
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.
And he blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. For in it, he had ceased from all his work: the work whereby God created whatever he should make.
4 Hetenaw teh kalvan hoi talai a saknae hnin navah,
These are the generations of heaven and earth, when they were created, in the day when the Lord God made heaven and earth,
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.
and every sapling of the field, before it would rise up in the land, and every wild plant, before it would germinate. For the Lord God had not brought rain upon the earth, and there was no man to work the land.
6 Hatei, talai dawk hoi tui kahû a tâco sak teh, talai pueng a duk sak.
But a fountain ascended from the earth, irrigating the entire surface of the land.
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.
And then the Lord God formed man from the clay of the earth, and he breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
8 Hahoi BAWIPA Cathut ni kanîtholah, Eden hmuen dawkvah, takha buet touh a sak teh, a sak e tami hah hawvah a hruek.
Now the Lord God had planted a Paradise of enjoyment from the beginning. In it, he placed the man whom 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.
And from the soil the Lord God produced every tree that was beautiful to behold and pleasant to eat. And even the tree of life was in the midst of Paradise, 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.
And a river went forth from the place of enjoyment so as to irrigate Paradise, which is divided from there into four heads.
11 Apasueke tui min teh Pishon. Sui onae Havilah ram pueng, kâkalup lah a lawng.
The name of one is the Phison; it is that which runs through all the land of Hevilath, where gold is born;
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 the finest. In that place is found bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 Apâhni e tui min teh Gihon. Kush ram kâkalup lah a lawng.
And the name of the second river is the Gehon; it is that which runs through all the land of Ethiopia.
14 Hahoi apâthum e tui min teh Khiddekel. Assiria ram kanîtholah a lawng teh, apali e tui min teh Euphrates.
Truly, the name of the third river is the Tigris; it advances opposite the Assyrians. But the fourth river, it is the Euphrates.
15 BAWIPA Cathut ni tami a la teh, Eden takha dawk thaw tawk hane hoi khetyawt hanelah a hruek.
Thus, the Lord God brought the man, and put him into the Paradise of enjoyment, so that it would be attended and preserved by him.
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 he instructed him, saying: “From every tree of Paradise, you shall eat.
17 Hatei, thoe hoi hawi panuenae thingpaw teh na cat mahoeh. Na cat pawiteh, na ca hnin na due roeroe han atipouh.
But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat. For in whatever day you will eat from it, you will die a death.”
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. Let us make a helper for him similar to himself.”
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.
Therefore, the Lord God, having formed from the soil all the animals of the earth and all the flying creatures of the air, brought them to Adam, in order to see what he would call them. For whatever Adam would call any living creature, that would be its name.
20 Hottelah, saringpueng, kalvan e tava pueng, moithang pueng Adam ni min a phung. Hatei, Adam kabawmkung kahawi awm hoeh rah.
And Adam called each of the living things by their names: all the flying creatures of the air, and all the wild beasts of the land. Yet truly, for Adam, there was not found a helper similar to himself.
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.
And so the Lord God sent a deep sleep upon Adam. And when he was fast asleep, he took one of his ribs, and he completed it with flesh for it.
22 Hahoi, BAWIPA Cathut ni tongpa dawk hoi a rayu e a nâhru hoi napui a sak teh, tongpa koe a thokhai.
And the Lord God built up the rib, which he took from Adam, into a woman. And he led her to Adam.
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 Adam said: “Now this is bone from my bones, and flesh from my flesh. This one shall be called woman, because she was taken from man.”
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 shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife; and the two shall be as one flesh.
25 Tongpa hoi a yu teh, caici lah ao roi eiteh, kayanae tawn roi hoeh.
Now they were both naked: Adam, of course, and his wife. And they were not ashamed.
