1 Mosebog 2
1 Saaledes fuldendtes Himmelen og Jorden med al deres Hær.
Then the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the living things that filled them.
2 Paa den syvende Dag fuldendte Gud det Værk, han havde udført, og han hvilede paa den syvende Dag efter det Værk, han havde udført;
On the seventh day God came to the end of his work which he had done, and so he rested on the seventh day from all his work.
3 og Gud velsignede den syvende Dag og helligede den, thi paa den hvilede han efter hele sit Værk, det, Gud havde skabt og udført.
God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he rested from all his work which he had done in his creation.
4 Det er Himmelens og Jordens Skabelseshistorie. Da Gud HERREN gjorde Jord og Himmel —
These were the events concerning the heavens and the earth, when they were created, on the day that Yahweh God made the earth and the heavens.
5 dengang fandtes endnu ingen af Markens Buske paa Jorden, og endnu var ingen af Markens Urter spiret frem, thi Gud HERREN havde ikke ladet det regne paa Jorden, og der var ingen Mennesker til at dyrke Agerjorden,
No bush of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.
6 men en Taage vældede op at Jorden og vandede hele Agerjordens Flade —
But a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 da dannede Gud HERREN Mennesket af Agerjordens Muld og blæste Livsaande i hans Næsebor, saa at Mennesket blev et levende Væsen.
Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being.
8 Derpaa plantede Gud HERREN en Have i Eden ude mod Øst, og dem satte han Mennesket, som han havde dannet;
Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 Og Gud HERREN lod af Agerjorden fremvokse alle Slags Træer, en Fryd at skue og gode til Føde, desuden Livets Træ, der stod midt i Haven, og Træet til Kundskab om godt og ondt.
Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. This included the tree of life that was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Der udsprang en Flod i Eden til at vande Haven, og udenfor delte den sig i fire Hovedstrømme.
A river went out of Eden to water the garden. From there it divided and became four rivers.
11 Den ene hedder Pisjon; den løber omkring Landet Havila, hvor der findes Guld
The name of the first is Pishon. It is the one which flows throughout the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 og Guldet i det Land er godt, Bdellium og Sjohamsten.
The gold of that land is good. There are also bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 Den anden Flod hedder Gihon; den løber omkring Landet Kusj.
The name of the second river is Gihon. This one flows throughout the whole land of Cush.
14 Den tredje Flod hedder Hiddekel; den løber østen om Assyrien. Den fjerde Flod er Frat.
The name of the third river is Tigris, which flows east of Ashur. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 Derpaa tog Gud HERREN Adam og satte ham i Edens Have til at dyrke og vogte den.
Yahweh God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to work it and to maintain it.
16 Men Gud HERREN bød Adam: »Af alle Træer i Haven har du Lov at spise,
Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “From every tree in the garden you may freely eat.
17 kun af Træet til Kundskab om godt og ondt maa du ikke spise; den Dag du spiser deraf, skal du visselig dø!«
But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not eat, for on the day that you eat from it, you will surely die.”
18 Derpaa sagde Gud HERREN: »Det er ikke godt for Mennesket at være ene; jeg vil gøre ham en Medhjælp, som passer til ham!«
Then Yahweh God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make him a helper suitable for him.”
19 Og Gud HERREN dannede af Agerjorden alle Markens Dyr og Himmelens Fugle og førte dem hen til Adam for at se, hvad han vilde kalde dem; thi hvad Adam kaldte de forskellige levende Væsener, det skulde være deres Navn.
Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the sky. Then he brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
20 Adam gav da alt Kvæget, alle Himmelens Fugle og alle Markens Dyr Navne — men til sig selv fandt Adam ingen Medhjælp, der passede til ham.
The man gave names to all the livestock, to all the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field. But for the man himself there was found no helper suitable for him.
21 Saa lod Gud HERREN Dvale falde over Adam, og da han var sovet ind, tog han et af hans Ribben og lukkede med Kød i dets Sted;
Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, so the man slept. Yahweh God took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh where he took the rib.
22 og af Ribbenet, som Gud HERREN havde taget af Adam, byggede han en Kvinde og førte hende hen til Adam.
With the rib that Yahweh God had taken from the man, he made a woman and brought her to the man.
23 Da sagde Adam: »Denne Gang er det Ben af mine Ben og Kød af mit Kød; hun skal kaldes Kvinde, thi af Manden er hun taget!«
The man said, “This time, this one is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called 'woman,' because she was taken out of man.”
24 Derfor forlader en Mand sin Fader og Moder og holder sig til sin Hustru, og de to bliver eet Kød.
Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, he will be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
25 Og de var begge nøgne, baade Adam og hans Hustru, men de bluedes ikke.
They were both naked, the man and his wife, but were not ashamed.
