1 Mosebog 2
1 Således fuldendtes Himmelen og Jorden med al deres Hær.
The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished.
2 På den syvende Dag fuldendte Gud det Værk, han havde udført, og han hvilede på den syvende Dag efter det Værk, han havde udført;
On the seventh 'yom ·period of time, day· God finished his work which he had done; and he shavat ·rested· on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.
3 og Gud velsignede den syvende Dag og helligede den, thi på den hvilede han efter hele sit Værk, det, Gud havde skabt og udført.
God blessed the seventh day, and made it set apart holy, because he rested in it from all his work of barah' ·creation from nothingness· which he had done.
4 Det er Himmelens og Jordens Skabelseshistorie. Da Gud HERREN gjorde Jord og Himmel
This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created. On the day that Adonai God made earth and heaven,
5 dengang fandtes endnu ingen af Markens Buske på Jorden, og endnu var ingen af Markens Urter spiret frem, thi Gud HERREN havde ikke ladet det regne på Jorden, og der var ingen Mennesker til at dyrke Agerjorden,
no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Adonai God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was no human to till the ground,
6 men en Tåge 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 Livsånde i hans Næsebor, så at Mennesket blev et levende Væsen.
Adonai God formed and framed a human from the dust of ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breaths of lives; and man became a living soul.
8 Derpå plantede Gud HERREN en Have i Eden ude mod Øst, og dem satte han Mennesket, som han havde dannet;
Adonai God planted a garden eastward, in Eden [Delight], 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 Adonai God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the 'etz chai ·tree of life· in the middle 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 [Delight] to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers.
11 Den ene hedder Pisjon; den løber omkring Landet Havila, hvor der findes Guld
The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 og Guldet i det Land er godt, Bdellium og Sjohamsten.
and the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and onyx stone are also there.
13 Den anden Flod hedder Gihon; den løber omkring Landet Kusj.
The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through 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 Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria [Level plain]. The fourth river is the Euphrates [Fruitful].
15 Derpå tog Gud HERREN Adam og satte ham i Edens Have til at dyrke og vogte den.
Adonai God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden [Delight] to cultivate and keep it.
16 Men Gud HERREN bød Adam: "Af alle Træer i Haven har du Lov at spise,
Adonai God enjoined the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
17 kun af Træet til Kundskab om godt og ondt må du ikke spise; den Dag du spiser deraf, skal du visselig dø!"
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 have death.”
18 Derpå sagde Gud HERREN: "Det er ikke godt for Mennesket at være ene; jeg vil gøre ham en Medhjælp, som passer til ham!"
Adonai God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a help-mate 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 Adonai 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 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 livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper suitable for him.
21 Så 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;
Adonai 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 af Ribbenet, som Gud HERREN havde taget af Adam, byggede han en Kvinde og førte hende hen til Adam.
Adonai God refined and fashioned an 'ishah ·wife woman· from the rib which 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; hun skal kaldes Kvinde, thi af Manden er hun taget!"
The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called ‘'ishah ·wife woman·,’ because she was taken out of 'ish ·husband man·.”
24 Derfor forlader en Mand sin Fader og Moder og holder sig til sin Hustru, og de to bliver eet Kød.
Therefore a husband man will leave his father and his mother, and will dabak ·cling to, worship· with his wife woman, and they will be echad ·one· flesh.
25 Og de var begge nøgne, både Adam og hans Hustru, men de bluedes ikke.
The husband man and his wife woman were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
