1 Mosebog 2
1 Og Himmelen og Jorden bleve fuldkommede, og al deres Hær.
And the heavens and the earth and all their host were finished.
2 Og Gud havde fuldkommet paa den syvende Dag sin Gerning, som han havde gjort, og hvilede paa den syvende Dag fra al sin Gerning, som han havde gjort.
And God had finished on the seventh day his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 Og Gud velsignede den syrende Dag og helligede den; thi paa den hvilede han fra al sin Gerning, som Gud skabte og gjorde.
And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, because that on it he rested from all his work which God had created in making it.
4 Disse ere Himmelens og Jordens Oprindelser, der de skabtes, paa den Dag Gud Herren gjorde Jorden og Himmelen.
These are the histories of the heavens and the earth, when they were created, in the day that Jehovah Elohim made earth and heavens,
5 Og alle Haande Buske paa Marken vare endnu ikke paa Jorden, og alle Haande Urter paa Marken vare endnu ikke fremspirede; thi Gud Herren havde ikke ladet regne paa Jorden, og der var intet Menneske til at dyrke Jorden.
and every shrub of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew; for Jehovah Elohim had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground.
6 Og der opgik en Damp af Jorden og vandede al Jordens Overflade.
But a mist went up from the earth, and moistened the whole surface of the ground.
7 Og Gud Herren dannede Mennesket af Støv af Jorden og blæste Livets Aande i hans Næse; og Mennesket blev til en levende Sjæl.
And Jehovah Elohim formed Man, dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and Man became a living soul.
8 Og Gud Herren plantede en Have udi Eden mod Østen og satte der Mennesket, hvilket han havde gjort.
And Jehovah Elohim planted a garden in Eden eastward, and there put Man whom he had formed.
9 Og Gud Herren lod opvokse alle Haande Træer af Jorden, som vare lystelige at se til og gode til at æde af, og Livsens Træ midt i Haven og Kundskabens Træ paa godt og ondt.
And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim made every tree grow that is 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 Og der gik en Flod ud fra Eden til at vande Haven, og derfra deltes den og blev til fire Hovedstrømme.
And a river went out of Eden, to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four main streams.
11 Den førstes Navn er Pison, hvilken løber om det ganske Land Havila, hvor der er Guld.
The name of the one is Pison: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Havilah, where the gold is.
12 Og Guldet fra det samme Land er godt; der er Bdellion og den Sten Onyks.
And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and the onyx stone are there.
13 Og den anden Flods Navn er Gihon, hvilken løber om det ganske Land Kus.
And the name of the second river is Gihon: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Cush.
14 Og den tredje Flods Navn er Hiddekel, hvilken gaar Østen for Assyrien; og den fjerde Flod, den er Frat.
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which flows forward toward Asshur. And the fourth river, that is Euphrates.
15 Og Gud Herren tog Mennesket og satte det i Edens Have at dyrke den og vogte den.
And Jehovah Elohim took Man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it and to guard it.
16 Og Gud Herren bød Mennesket og sagde: Du maa frit æde af alle Træer i Haven;
And Jehovah Elohim commanded Man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt freely eat;
17 men af Kundskabens Træ paa godt og ondt, af det skal du ikke æde; thi paa hvilken Dag du æder af det, skal du dø Døden.
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt certainly die.
18 Og Gud Herren sagde: Det er ikke godt, at Mennesket er ene, jeg vil gøre ham en Medhjælp, som skal være hos ham.
And Jehovah Elohim said, It is not good that Man should be alone; I will make him a helpmate, his like.
19 Og Gud Herren havde gjort af Jorden alle vilde Dyr paa Marken og alle Himmelens Fugle og ledte dem til Mennesket for at se, hvad han vilde kalde hvert; og alt det, som Adam kaldte hver levende Sjæl, det var dens Navn.
And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim had formed every animal of the field and all fowl of the heavens, and brought [them] to Man, to see what he would call them; and whatever Man called each living soul, that was its name.
20 Saa gav Adam alt Kvæget og Himmelens Fugle og alle vilde Dyr paa Marken Navne; men for Mennesket fandt han ingen Medhjælp, som kunde være hos ham.
And Man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but as for Adam, he found no helpmate, his like.
21 Da lod Gud Herren falde en dyb Søvn paa Adam, og han sov; og han tog et af hans Ribben og lukkede med Kød i Stedet derfor.
And Jehovah Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon Man; and he slept. And he took one of his ribs and closed up flesh in its stead.
22 Og Gud Herren byggede af det Ribben, som han havde taget af Mennesket, en Mandinde og ledte hende til Adam.
And Jehovah Elohim built the rib that he had taken from Man into a woman; and brought her to Man.
23 Da sagde Adam: Denne Gang er det Ben af mine Ben og Kød af mit Kød; denne skal kaldes Mandinde, thi denne er tagen af Manden.
And Man said, This time it is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh: this shall be called Woman, because this was taken out of a man.
24 Derfor skal Manden forlade sin Fader og sin Moder og blive fast hos sin Hustru, og de skulle være til eet Kød.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.
25 Og de vare begge nøgne, Adam og hans Hustru, og de bluedes ikke.
And they were both naked, Man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
