1 Mosebog 2
1 Og Himmelen og Jorden bleve fuldkommede, og al deres Hær.
Thus were finished the heavens and the earth, and all their host.
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 sanctified it; because thereon he had 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 generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, on the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven.
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 plant of the field was not yet on the earth, and every herb of the field had not yet grown; for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and man was not yet there to till the ground.
6 Og der opgik en Damp af Jorden og vandede al Jordens Overflade.
But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face 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 the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being.
8 Og Gud Herren plantede en Have udi Eden mod Østen og satte der Mennesket, hvilket han havde gjort.
And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden to the eastward, and he put there the 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 the Lord God caused to grow out of the ground every tree 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 there it was parted, and became four principal streams.
11 Den førstes Navn er Pison, hvilken løber om det ganske Land Havila, hvor der er Guld.
The name of the first is Pishon, the same which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 Og Guldet fra det samme Land er godt; der er Bdellion og den Sten Onyks.
And the gold of that land is good; there is the bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 Og den anden Flods Navn er Gihon, hvilken løber om det ganske Land Kus.
And the name of the second river is Gihon, the same which compasseth 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, the same which floweth towards the east of Assyria; and the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 Og Gud Herren tog Mennesket og satte det i Edens Have at dyrke den og vogte den.
And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it, and to keep it.
16 Og Gud Herren bød Mennesket og sagde: Du maa frit æde af alle Træer i Haven;
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest 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 on the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely 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 the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help suitable for him.
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 the Lord God had formed out of the ground every beast of the field, and every fowl of the heaven, and he brought them unto the man to see what he would call them; and whatsoever the man would call every living creature, that should be 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 the man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the heaven, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was not found a help suitable for him.
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 the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof.
22 Og Gud Herren byggede af det Ribben, som han havde taget af Mennesket, en Mandinde og ledte hende til Adam.
And the Lord God formed the rib which he had taken from the man into a woman, and brought her unto the 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 the man said, This time it is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; this shall be called Woman, [[Ishah, ]] because out of Man [[Ishi]] was this one taken.
24 Derfor skal Manden forlade sin Fader og sin Moder og blive fast hos sin Hustru, og de skulle være til eet Kød.
Therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave unto his wife, and they become one flesh.
25 Og de vare begge nøgne, Adam og hans Hustru, og de bluedes ikke.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
