Postanak 2
1 Tako bude dovršeno nebo i zemlja sa svom svojom vojskom.
The creation of the heavens, the earth, and everything in them was complete.
2 I sedmoga dana Bog dovrši svoje djelo koje učini. I počinu u sedmi dan od svega djela koje učini.
By the time the seventh day came, God had finished the work he'd done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work he'd been doing.
3 I blagoslovi Bog sedmi dan i posveti, jer u taj dan počinu od svega djela svoga koje učini.
God blessed the seventh day, and set it apart as holy, because he rested from all the work he'd done in creation.
4 To je postanak neba i zemlje, tako su stvarani. Kad je Jahve, Bog, sazdao nebo i zemlju,
This is the account of the Lord God's creation when he made the heavens and the earth.
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.
Up to this point there were no wild plants or crops growing on the earth, because the Lord God hadn't sent rain, and there was no one to cultivate the ground.
6 Ipak, voda je izvirala iz zemlje i natapala svu površinu zemaljsku.
Dew came up from the earth and made the whole surface of the ground wet.
7 Jahve, Bog, napravi čovjeka od praha zemaljskog i u nosnice mu udahne dah života. Tako postane čovjek živa duša.
The Lord God shaped the man Adam from the dust of the ground. He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and Adam became a living being.
8 I Jahve, Bog, zasadi vrt na istoku, u Edenu, i u nj smjesti čovjeka koga je napravio.
The Lord planted a garden in Eden, in the east. There he put the man Adam he had created.
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.
The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow in the garden, beautiful trees and trees producing fruit that's good to eat. The tree of life was in the middle of the garden, along with 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.
A river flowed out from Eden to water the garden. From there it split into four branches.
11 Prvom je ime Pišon, a optječe svom zemljom havilskom, u kojoj ima zlata.
The first branch was called the Pishon and it flowed through the whole land of Havilah, where gold is found.
12 Zlato je te zemlje dobro, a ima ondje i bdelija i oniksa.
(The gold from that land is pure. Bdellium and onyx stone are also found there.)
13 Drugoj je rijeci ime Gihon, a optječe svu zemlju Kuš.
The second branch was called the Gihon and it flowed through the whole land of Cush.
14 Treća je rijeka Tigris, a teče na istok od Ašura; četvrta je Eufrat.
The third branch was called the Tigris and it flowed east of the city of Asshur. The fourth branch was called the Euphrates.
15 Jahve, Bog, uzme čovjeka i postavi ga u edenski vrt da ga obrađuje i čuva.
The Lord God put the man in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and care for it.
16 Jahve, Bog, zapovjedi čovjeku: “Sa svakoga stabla u vrtu slobodno jedi,
The Lord God ordered Adam, “You are free to eat fruit from every tree in 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, because the day you eat from it you are certain to die.”
18 I reče Jahve, Bog: “Nije dobro da čovjek bude sam: načinit ću mu pomoć kao što je on.”
Then the Lord God said, “It's not good for Adam to be alone. I will make someone to help him, someone that's like him.”
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.
The Lord God used the ground to make all the wild animals, and all the birds. He took them all to Adam to see what he would call them, and Adam named every living creature.
20 Čovjek nadjene imena svoj stoci, svim pticama u zraku i životinjama u polju. No čovjeku se ne nađe pomoć kao što je on.
Adam gave names to all the livestock, all the birds, and all the wild animals. But Adam didn't find anyone like him who could help him.
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 put Adam into a deep sleep and as he slept the Lord God removed one of Adam's ribs and closed up the place where he took it with body tissue.
22 Od rebra što ga je uzeo čovjeku napravi Jahve, Bog, ženu pa je dovede čovjeku.
The Lord God made a woman, using the rib he'd taken from Adam, and presented her to Adam.
23 Nato čovjek reče: “Gle, evo kosti od mojih kostiju, mesa od mesa mojega! Ženom neka se zove, od čovjeka kad je uzeta!”
“Finally!” said Adam. “Here is bone from my bone and flesh from my flesh. She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man.”
24 Stoga će čovjek ostaviti oca i majku da prione uza svoju ženu i bit će njih dvoje jedno tijelo.
This is the reason a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two become one being.
25 A bijahu oboje goli - čovjek i njegova žena - ali ne osjećahu stida.
Adam and his wife Eve were both naked, but they weren't embarrassed about it.
