1 Mosebog 2
1 Og Himmelen og Jorden bleve fuldkommede, og al deres Hær.
The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array 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.
On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.
3 Og Gud velsignede den syrende Dag og helligede den; thi paa den hvilede han fra al sin Gerning, som Gud skabte og gjorde.
God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done.
4 Disse ere Himmelens og Jordens Oprindelser, der de skabtes, paa den Dag Gud Herren gjorde Jorden og Himmelen.
This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made the earth and the 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.
No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a 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 watered 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.
Yahweh God formed man from the 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.
Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put 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.
Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle 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.
A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers.
11 Den førstes Navn er Pison, hvilken løber om det ganske Land Havila, hvor der er Guld.
The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through 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. Bdellium and onyx stone are also there.
13 Og den anden Flods Navn er Gihon, hvilken løber om det ganske Land Kus.
The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through 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.
The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 Og Gud Herren tog Mennesket og satte det i Edens Have at dyrke den og vogte den.
Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
16 Og Gud Herren bød Mennesket og sagde: Du maa frit æde af alle Træer i Haven;
Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
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 you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will 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.
Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to 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.
Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature became 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.
The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper comparable to 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.
Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. As the man slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
22 Og Gud Herren byggede af det Ribben, som han havde taget af Mennesket, en Mandinde og ledte hende til Adam.
Yahweh God made a woman from the rib which he had taken from the man, and brought her to 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.
The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken out of 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 a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.
25 Og de vare begge nøgne, Adam og hans Hustru, og de bluedes ikke.
The man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
