Chakruok 2
1 Kuom mano chwech polo gi piny norumo gi gik mane ni eigi duto ka moro ka moro oket kare.
That is the way God created the heavens and the earth.
2 E odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo Nyasaye nosetieko tichne mane osebedo ka otimo; omiyo odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo noyweyo kuom tijene duto.
By the time it was the seventh day, God had finished the work of creating everything, so he did not work any more on that day.
3 Kendo Nyasaye nogwedho odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo mi owale obedo maler, nimar odiechiengno ema noyweyoe bangʼ tieko duto.
God blessed each seventh day, and he set those days apart to be special days, because on the seventh day God did not work any more, after finishing all his work of creating everything.
4 Ma e nonro mar polo kod piny kane ochwegi. Kane Jehova Nyasaye ochweyo piny kod polo;
That is how God created the heavens and the earth. God, whose name is Yahweh, made the heavens and the earth.
5 ne onge buya mane osetwi e piny kendo ne onge yien mane osedongo nikech Jehova Nyasaye ne pok ooro koth e piny kendo ne onge dhano mawuotho ewi lowo,
At first there were no plants growing, because Yahweh God had not yet caused rain to fall on the ground. Furthermore, there was no one to till the ground for planting crops.
6 kata kamano achiya mar pi ne wuok koa ei lowo kendo ne omiyo piny duto obedo mangʼich.
Instead, mist rose up from the ground, so that it watered the surface of the ground.
7 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nochweyo dhano gi lowo kendo nokudho muya mar ngima ei ume, mi dhano nobedo mangima.
Then Yahweh God took some soil and formed a man. He breathed into the man’s nostrils his own breath that gives life, and as a result the man became a living person.
8 Eka Jehova Nyasaye noloso puodho ma yo wuok chiengʼ mar Eden, kendo noketoe dhano mane osechweyo.
Yahweh God made a park/garden in a place named Eden, which was east of the land of Canaan, and he put there the man that he had created.
9 Eka Jehova Nyasaye noketo kit yien duto mondo onyagi ewi lowo, ne gin yiende malombo wangʼ kendo mag chiemo. E dier puodho ne nitie yath machiwo ngima kendo yath mamiyo ngʼato ngʼeyo ber gi rach.
Yahweh God also put there every kind of tree that is beautiful to see and that produced fruit that was good to eat. He also placed in the middle of the park/garden a tree [whose fruit would enable those who ate it] to live forever. He also placed there another tree whose fruit would enable those who ate it to know what actions were good [to do] and what actions were evil [to do].
10 Aora mamiyo puodho bedo mangʼich ne mol koa Eden; kendo koa kanyo to aorano ne pogore nyadingʼwen.
A river flowed from Eden to provide water for the park/garden. Outside of Eden, the river divided into four rivers.
11 Bath aorano mokwongo iluongo ni Pishon; en omol koluwo piny Havila duto kama ne nitiere gi dhahabu mangʼeny.
The name of the first river is Pishon. That river flows through all the land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 (Dhahabu mar pinyno ber; duogo manyilni maber kod kite mabeyo miluongo ni oniks bende yudoree.)
That gold (is very pure/has no impurities in it). There is [also a sweet-smelling gum called] bdellium, and valuable stones called onyx.
13 Bath aorano mar ariyo iluongo ni Gihon; en omol koluwo piny Kush duto.
The name of the second river is Gihon. That river flows through all the land of Cain.
14 Bath aorano mar adek iluongo ni Tigris; en omol koluwo yo wuok chiengʼ mar Ashur. To bath aorano mar angʼwen iluongo ni Yufrate.
The name of the third river is Tigris. It flows east of [the city of] Asshur. The name of the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nokawo Adam kendo nokete e puoth Eden mondo olose kendo orite.
Yahweh God took the man and put him in Eden park/garden to till/cultivate it and take care of it.
16 Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo Adam chik niya, “In thuolo mar chamo olemb yien moro amora e puodho;
But Yahweh said to him, “You must not eat the fruit of the tree that will enable you to know what actions are good to do and what actions are evil to do. If you eat any fruit from that tree, on that day your relationship with me will end. But I will permit you to eat the fruit of any of the other trees in the park/garden.”
17 to kik icham olemb yath mamiyo ngʼato ngʼeyo ber gi rach, nimar chiengʼ ma inichame to initho.”
18 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ok ber mondo Adam obed kende, abiro losone jakony mowinjore kode.”
Then Yahweh God said, “It is not good for this man to be alone. So I will make someone who will be a suitable partner for him.”
19 Kuom mano, Jehova Nyasaye nokawo lowo ma ochweyogo le mae thim kod winy duto mafuyo e kor polo. Eka nokelogi ne Adam mondo ochakgi nying kendo nying mane Adam omiyo gik mangimago ema nobedo nying-gi.
Yahweh God had taken some soil and had formed from it all kinds of animals and birds, and he brought them to the man to hear what names he would give them.
20 Omiyo Adam nochako jamni duto nying, gi winy manie kor polo kod le duto manie thim. Kata kamano Adam ne onge gi jakony mowinjore kode.
Then the man gave names to all the kinds of livestock and birds and wild animals, but none of these creatures was a partner that was suitable for the man.
21 Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo nindo matut otero Adam; kendo kane onindo, nogolo achiel kuom ngʼedene mi nodino kanyo gi ringʼo.
So Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man was sleeping, Yahweh took out one of the man’s ribs. Then he immediately closed the opening in his body [and healed it].
22 Eka Jehova Nyasaye noloso dhako koa kuom ngʼet mane ogolo kuom Adam kendo nokele ni Adam.
Yahweh then made a woman from the rib that he had taken from the man’s body, and he brought her to the man.
23 Adam nowacho niya, “Ma koro en chogo mar choka kendo ringʼo mar ringra; ibiro luonge ni ‘dhako,’ nikech nogole koa kuom dichwo.”
The man exclaimed, “[Wow]! This is truly (someone like me/what I was looking for!) She is truly from my bones and from my flesh. So I will call her woman, because she was taken from me, a man.”
24 Kuom mano, dichwo nowe wuon kod min kendo nopadre gi chiege; mi gidok ringruok achiel.
[The first woman was taken from the man’s body, ] so that is why when a man and a woman marry, they must leave their parents. The man will join very closely to his wife, so that the two of them will be as though they are one person.
25 Adam kod chiege ne niduge, to ne gionge wichkuot.
Although the man and his wife were naked, they were not ashamed about that.
