Genesis 2
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
Motero kumwamba, dziko lapansi ndi zonse za mʼmenemo zinatha kulengedwa monga mwa kuchuluka kwawo.
2 And by the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work.
Pofika tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri Mulungu anamaliza ntchito zonse zimene ankagwira ndipo pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri anapumula ku ntchito zake zonse.
3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on that day He rested from all the work of creation that He had accomplished.
Ndipo Mulungu anadalitsa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri nalipatula, chifukwa pa tsiku limeneli Iye anapumula ku ntchito yonse yolenga imene anayigwira.
4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.
Mbiri ya momwe kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi zinalengedwera pa tsiku lija Yehova Mulungu ankazilenga ndi iyi: Yehova Mulungu atapanga dziko lapansi ndi kumwamba,
5 Now no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth, nor had any plant of the field sprouted; for the LORD God had not yet sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.
zitsamba zinali zisanamere ndipo chomera chilichonse chinali chisanamerenso popeza Yehova Mulungu anali asanagwetse mvula pa dziko lapansi. Panalibe munthu wolima nthaka,
6 But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
koma kasupe ankatuluka mʼnthaka ndi kuthirira pa dziko lonse.
7 Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.
Tsono Yehova Mulungu anawumba munthu kuchokera ku dothi nawuziramo mpweya wamoyo mʼmphuno mwake ndipo munthuyo anakhala wamoyo.
8 And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.
Kenaka Yehova Mulungu anatsekula munda wa Edeni chakummawa; kumeneko anayikako munthu amene anamupanga uja.
9 Out of the ground the LORD God gave growth to every tree that is pleasing to the eye and good for food. And in the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Ndipo Yehova Mulungu anameretsa mʼmundamo mitengo ya mitundu yonse. Inali mitengo yokongola ndi ya zipatso zokoma. Pakati pa munda uja panali mtengo wopatsa moyo ndi mtengo wopatsa nzeru zodziwitsa chabwino ndi choyipa.
10 Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:
Mtsinje wothirira mundawo unkatuluka mu Edeni; kuchokera apo unkagawikana kukhala mitsinje inayi.
11 The name of the first river is Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
Dzina la mtsinje woyamba ndi Pisoni; uwu umazungulira dziko lonse la Havila, kumene kuli golide.
12 And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.
(Golide wa ku dziko ili ndi wabwino. Kulinso miyala yokongola ya bedola ndi onikisi).
13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it winds through the whole land of Cush.
Dzina la mtsinje wachiwiri ndi Gihoni; uwu umazungulira dziko lonse la Kusi.
14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it runs along the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
Dzina la mtsinje wachitatu ndi Tigirisi; umayenda chakummawa kwa Asiriya. Ndipo mtsinje wachinayi ndi Yufurate.
15 Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
Yehova Mulungu anatenga munthu uja ndi kumuyika mʼmunda wa Edeni kuti awulime ndi kuwusamalira.
16 And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,
Ndipo Yehova Mulungu analamula munthu uja kuti, “Uzidya zipatso za mu mtengo wina uliwonse mʼmundamu;
17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”
koma usadye zipatso za mu mtengo wodziwitsa chabwino ndi choyipa, popeza ukadzadya za mu mtengowu udzafa ndithu.”
18 The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”
Ndipo Yehova Mulungu anati, “Sibwino kuti munthu akhale yekha. Ndidzamupangira mnzake womuthandiza.”
19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and He brought them to the man to see what he would name each one. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
Kenaka Yehova Mulungu anawumba ndi dothi nyama zonse zakuthengo ndi mbalame zonse zamlengalenga. Ndipo Iye anapita nazo kwa munthu uja kuti akazipatse mayina; ndipo dzina lililonse limene Adamu anapereka ku chamoyo chilichonse, lomwelo linakhala dzina lake.
20 The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.
Choncho Adamu anazitcha mayina ziweto zonse, mbalame zamlengalenga ndi nyama zakuthengo zonse. Komabe munthu uja analibe mnzake womuthandiza.
21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the area with flesh.
Tsono Yehova Mulungu anamugonetsa munthu uja tulo tofa nato; ali mtulo chomwecho, Mulungu anachotsa imodzi mwa nthiti zake ndi kutseka pamalopo ndi mnofu.
22 And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.
Motero Yehova Mulungu anapanga mkazi ndi nthiti ija imene anatenga kwa munthu uja nabwera naye kwa iye.
23 And the man said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for out of man she was taken.”
Munthu uja anati, “Uyu ndiye fupa lochokera ku mafupa anga ndi mnofu wochokera ku mnofu wanga; adzatchedwa ‘mkazi,’ popeza wachokera mwa mwamuna.”
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
Nʼchifukwa chake, mwamuna amasiya abambo ndi amayi ake nakaphatikana ndi mkazi wake ndipo awiriwo amakhala thupi limodzi.
25 And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
Munthu uja ndi mkazi wakeyo, onse awiri anali maliseche ndipo analibe manyazi.
