1 Mosebog 2
1 Saaledes fuldendtes Himmelen og Jorden med al deres Hær.
And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;
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;
and God completeth by the seventh day His work which He hath made, and ceaseth by the seventh day from all His work which He hath made.
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.
And God blesseth the seventh day, and sanctifieth it, for in it He hath ceased from all His work which God had prepared for making.
4 Det er Himmelens og Jordens Skabelseshistorie. Da Gud HERREN gjorde Jord og Himmel —
These [are] births of the heavens and of the earth in their being prepared, in the day of Jehovah God's making earth and 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,
and no shrub of the field is yet in the earth, and no herb of the field yet sprouteth, for Jehovah God hath not rained upon the earth, and a man there is not to serve the ground,
6 men en Taage vældede op at Jorden og vandede hele Agerjordens Flade —
and a mist goeth up from the earth, and hath watered the whole face 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.
And Jehovah God formeth the man — dust from the ground, and breatheth into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becometh a living creature.
8 Derpaa plantede Gud HERREN en Have i Eden ude mod Øst, og dem satte han Mennesket, som han havde dannet;
And Jehovah God planteth a garden in Eden, at the east, and He setteth there the man whom He hath 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.
and Jehovah God causeth to sprout from the ground every tree desirable for appearance, and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10 Der udsprang en Flod i Eden til at vande Haven, og udenfor delte den sig i fire Hovedstrømme.
And a river is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from thence it is parted, and hath become four chief [rivers];
11 Den ene hedder Pisjon; den løber omkring Landet Havila, hvor der findes Guld
the name of the one [is] Pison, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of the Havilah where the gold [is],
12 og Guldet i det Land er godt, Bdellium og Sjohamsten.
and the gold of that land [is] good, there [is] the bdolach and the shoham stone;
13 Den anden Flod hedder Gihon; den løber omkring Landet Kusj.
and the name of the second river [is] Gibon, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Cush;
14 Den tredje Flod hedder Hiddekel; den løber østen om Assyrien. Den fjerde Flod er Frat.
and the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel, it [is] that which is going east of Asshur; and the fourth river is Phrat.
15 Derpaa tog Gud HERREN Adam og satte ham i Edens Have til at dyrke og vogte den.
And Jehovah God taketh the man, and causeth him to rest in the garden of Eden, to serve it, and to keep it.
16 Men Gud HERREN bød Adam: »Af alle Træer i Haven har du Lov at spise,
And Jehovah God layeth a charge on the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat;
17 kun af Træet til Kundskab om godt og ondt maa du ikke spise; den Dag du spiser deraf, skal du visselig dø!«
and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it — dying thou dost 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!«
And Jehovah God saith, 'Not good for the man to be alone, I do make to him an helper — as his counterpart.'
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.
And Jehovah God formeth from the ground every beast of the field, and every fowl of the heavens, and bringeth in unto the man, to see what he doth call it; and whatever the man calleth a living creature, that [is] 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.
And the man calleth names to all the cattle, and to fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; and to man hath not been found an helper — as his counterpart.
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;
And Jehovah God causeth a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he sleepeth, and He taketh one of his ribs, and closeth up flesh in its stead.
22 og af Ribbenet, som Gud HERREN havde taget af Adam, byggede han en Kvinde og førte hende hen til Adam.
And Jehovah God buildeth up the rib which He hath taken out of the man into a woman, and bringeth her in unto 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!«
and the man saith, 'This [is] the [proper] step! bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!' for this it is called Woman, for from a man hath this been taken;
24 Derfor forlader en Mand sin Fader og Moder og holder sig til sin Hustru, og de to bliver eet Kød.
therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and hath cleaved unto his wife, and they have become one flesh.
25 Og de var begge nøgne, baade Adam og hans Hustru, men de bluedes ikke.
And they are both of them naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
