Postanak 2
1 Tako bude dovršeno nebo i zemlja sa svom svojom vojskom.
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
2 I sedmoga dana Bog dovrši svoje djelo koje učini. I počinu u sedmi dan od svega djela koje učini.
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 I blagoslovi Bog sedmi dan i posveti, jer u taj dan počinu od svega djela svoga koje učini.
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 To je postanak neba i zemlje, tako su stvarani. Kad je Jahve, Bog, sazdao nebo i zemlju,
This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.
5 još nije bilo nikakva poljskoga grmlja po zemlji, još ne bijaše niklo nikakvo poljsko bilje, jer Jahve, Bog, još ne pusti dažda na zemlju i nije bilo čovjeka da zemlju obrađuje.
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 Ipak, voda je izvirala iz zemlje i natapala svu površinu zemaljsku.
But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 Jahve, Bog, napravi čovjeka od praha zemaljskog i u nosnice mu udahne dah života. Tako postane čovjek živa duša.
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 I Jahve, Bog, zasadi vrt na istoku, u Edenu, i u nj smjesti čovjeka koga je napravio.
And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.
9 Tada Jahve, Bog, učini te iz zemlje nikoše svakovrsna stabla - pogledu zamamljiva a dobra za hranu - i stablo života, nasred vrta, i stablo spoznaje dobra i zla.
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 Rijeka je izvirala iz Edena da bi natapala vrt; odatle se granala u četiri kraka.
Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:
11 Prvom je ime Pišon, a optječe svom zemljom havilskom, u kojoj ima zlata.
The name of the first river is Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 Zlato je te zemlje dobro, a ima ondje i bdelija i oniksa.
And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.
13 Drugoj je rijeci ime Gihon, a optječe svu zemlju Kuš.
The name of the second river is Gihon; it winds through the whole land of Cush.
14 Treća je rijeka Tigris, a teče na istok od Ašura; četvrta je Eufrat.
The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it runs along the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 Jahve, Bog, uzme čovjeka i postavi ga u edenski vrt da ga obrađuje i čuva.
Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
16 Jahve, Bog, zapovjedi čovjeku: “Sa svakoga stabla u vrtu slobodno jedi,
And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,
17 ali sa stabla spoznaje dobra i zla da nisi jeo! U onaj dan u koji s njega okusiš, zacijelo ćeš umrijeti!”
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 I reče Jahve, Bog: “Nije dobro da čovjek bude sam: načinit ću mu pomoć kao što je on.”
The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”
19 Tada Jahve, Bog, načini od zemlje sve životinje u polju i sve ptice u zraku i predvede ih čovjeku da vidi kako će koju nazvati, pa kako koje stvorenje čovjek prozove, da mu tako bude ime.
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 Čovjek nadjene imena svoj stoci, svim pticama u zraku i životinjama u polju. No čovjeku se ne nađe pomoć kao što je on.
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 Tada Jahve, Bog, pusti tvrd san na čovjeka te on zaspa, pa mu izvadi jedno rebro, a mjesto zatvori mesom.
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 Od rebra što ga je uzeo čovjeku napravi Jahve, Bog, ženu pa je dovede čovjeku.
And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.
23 Nato čovjek reče: “Gle, evo kosti od mojih kostiju, mesa od mesa mojega! Ženom neka se zove, od čovjeka kad je uzeta!”
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 Stoga će čovjek ostaviti oca i majku da prione uza svoju ženu i bit će njih dvoje jedno tijelo.
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
25 A bijahu oboje goli - čovjek i njegova žena - ali ne osjećahu stida.
And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
