< Genesis 2 >
1 The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished.
Tako sta bila končana nebo in zemlja in vsa njuna vojska.
2 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.
[7. dan] Na sedmi dan je Bog končal svoje delo, ki ga je naredil; in na sedmi dan je počival od vsega svojega dela, ki ga je naredil.
3 God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done.
Bog je blagoslovil sedmi dan ter ga posvetil, zato ker je na ta [dan] počival od vsega svojega dela, ki ga je Bog ustvaril in naredil.
4 This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.
To so rodovi neba in zemlje, ko so bili ustvarjeni, na dan, ko je Gospod Bog naredil zemljo in nebo
5 No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,
in vsako poljsko rastlino, preden je bila na zemlji in vsako poljsko zelišče, preden je zraslo, kajti Gospod Bog na zemljo ni poslal dežja in ni bilo človeka, da obdeluje tla.
6 but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.
Toda meglica se je dvigala iz zemlje in namakala celotno obličje tal.
7 The LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Gospod Bog je iz prahu tal oblikoval človeka in v njegove nosnice vdihnil dih življenja, in človek je postal živa duša.
8 The LORD God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Gospod Bog je zasadil vrt proti vzhodu v Edenu in tja je postavil človeka, ki ga je oblikoval.
9 Out of the ground the LORD 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.
Gospod Bog je naredil, da iz tal požene vsako drevo, ki je prijetno pogledu in dobro za hrano; tudi drevo življenja v sredi vrta in drevo spoznanja dobrega in zla.
10 A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers.
In reka je izvirala iz Edena, da namaka vrt in od tam je bila razdeljena v štiri glave.
11 The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
Ime prve je Pišón. To je ta, ki obkroža celotno deželo Havilá, kjer je zlato
12 and the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and onyx stone are also there.
in zlato te dežele je dobro; tam je bdelij in kamen oniks.
13 The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush.
Ime druge reke je Gihon. Ta ista je ta, ki obkroža celotno deželo Etiopijo.
14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
Ime tretje reke je Hidekel. To je ta, ki gre proti vzhodu Asirije. In četrta reka je Evfrat.
15 The LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
Gospod Bog je vzel človeka ter ga postavil v edenski vrt, da ga prirezuje in da ga varuje.
16 The LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
Gospod Bog je človeku zapovedal, rekoč: »Od vsakega vrtnega drevesa lahko prosto ješ,
17 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.”
toda od drevesa spoznanja dobrega in zla, ne smeš jesti od njega, kajti na dan, ko boš od njega jedel, boš zagotovo umrl.«
18 The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
Gospod Bog je rekel: » To ni dobro, da bi bil človek sam. Naredil mu bom pomoč, primerno zanj.«
19 Out of the ground the LORD 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.
Iz tal je Gospod Bog oblikoval vsako poljsko žival in vsako zračno perjad in jih privedel k Adamu, da vidi, kako jih bo poimenoval. In kakorkoli je Adam vsako živo ustvarjeno bitje poimenoval, to je bilo njeno ime.
20 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.
Adam je dal imena vsej živini, zračni perjadi in vsaki poljski živali, toda za Adama ni bilo najti pomoči, primerne zanj.
21 The LORD 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.
Gospod Bog je storil, da je na Adama padlo globoko spanje in je zaspal. Vzel je eno izmed njegovih reber ter namesto le-tega zaprl meso
22 The LORD God made a woman from the rib which he had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
in [iz] rebra, ki ga je Gospod Bog vzel iz človeka, je naredil žensko in jo privedel k človeku.
23 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.”
Adam je rekel: »To je sedaj kost iz mojih kosti in meso iz mojega mesa. Imenovala se bo Ženska, ker je bila vzeta iz Moškega.«
24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.
Zatorej bo moški zapustil svojega očeta in svojo mater in se bo trdno pridružil svoji ženi in oba bosta eno meso.
25 The man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
Oba sta bila naga, mož in njegova žena in ni ju bilo sram.
