Kamtawngnae 2
1 Hottelah kalvan hoi talai, a thung kaawm e pueng teh koung a cum.
Thus were finished the heavens and the earth and all their host.
2 Hahoi, a cum e thaw hah asari hnin dawk Cathut ni a pâpout. Hahoi, thaw pueng a cum dawkvah, asari hnin a kâhat.
Thus God finished, on the seventh day his work which he had made, and rested, on the seventh day, from all his work which he had made.
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 God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, —because therein, rested he from all his work which God, by creating, had made.
4 Hetenaw teh kalvan hoi talai a saknae hnin navah,
These are the geneses of the heavens and the earth when they were created, —in the day when Yahweh God made earth and heavens.
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 bush of the field, as yet—was in the earth, and, no herb of the field, as yet had sprung up, —because Yahweh God had not sent rain on the earth, and, man, was there none to till the ground;
6 Hatei, talai dawk hoi tui kahû a tâco sak teh, talai pueng a duk sak.
but, a vapour, went up from the earth, —and watered all the face 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.
So then Yahweh God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed in his nostrils 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.
And Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden, on the east, —and put there 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 Yahweh God, caused to spring up, out of the ground, every tree pleasant to the sight and good for food, —and the tree of life, in the midst of the garden, 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, was coming forth out of Eden, to water the garden, —and, from thence, it parted, and became four heads,
11 Apasueke tui min teh Pishon. Sui onae Havilah ram pueng, kâkalup lah a lawng.
The name of the one, is Pishon, —the same, is that which surroundeth all the land of Havilah, where is gold;
12 Hote ram dawk e sui teh, ahawi. Hote hmuen koe Dellium hoi Onyx talung aphu kaawm e hai ao.
moreover the gold of that land, is good, —there, is the bdellium, and the beryl stone,
13 Apâhni e tui min teh Gihon. Kush ram kâkalup lah a lawng.
And the name of the second river, is Gihon, —the same, is that which surroundeth all the land of Cush,
14 Hahoi apâthum e tui min teh Khiddekel. Assiria ram kanîtholah a lawng teh, apali e tui min teh Euphrates.
And, the name of the third river, is Hiddekel, the same, is that which goeth in front of Assyria; and the fourth river, is Euphrates.
15 BAWIPA Cathut ni tami a la teh, Eden takha dawk thaw tawk hane hoi khetyawt hanelah a hruek.
So Yahweh God took the man, —and placed him in the garden of Eden, to till it and to 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 Yahweh God laid command on the man, saying, —Of every tree of the garden, thou mayest eat;
17 Hatei, thoe hoi hawi panuenae thingpaw teh na cat mahoeh. Na cat pawiteh, na ca hnin na due roeroe han atipouh.
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, —for in the day thou eatest thereof, thou shalt die.
18 Hahoi, BAWIPA Cathut ni tongpa teh amadueng ao e hawihoeh a titeh, kabawmkung kahawi ka sak pouh han ati.
And Yahweh God said, It is, not good, that the man should remain alone, —I will make for him a helper as his counterpart.
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.
Now Yahweh God had formed from the ground every living thing of the field and every bird of the heavens, which he brought in unto the man, that he might see what he should call it, —and, whatsoever the man should call it—any living soul, that, should be the name thereof.
20 Hottelah, saringpueng, kalvan e tava pueng, moithang pueng Adam ni min a phung. Hatei, Adam kabawmkung kahawi awm hoeh rah.
So the man gave names to all the tame-beasts, and to the birds of the heavens, and to all the wild-beasts of the field, —but, for man, had there not been found a helper as his counterpart.
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 Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept, —and he took one of his ribs, and closed up flesh instead thereof.
22 Hahoi, BAWIPA Cathut ni tongpa dawk hoi a rayu e a nâhru hoi napui a sak teh, tongpa koe a thokhai.
And Yahweh God builded the rib which he had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her in unto the man.
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, one, now, is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh! This, one shall be called Woman, for, out of a man, hath this one been 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 cause, will a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave unto his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
25 Tongpa hoi a yu teh, caici lah ao roi eiteh, kayanae tawn roi hoeh.
And they were both of them naked, the man and his wife, —and put not each other to shame.
