Genesis 2
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
Otu a ka e si rụzuo ọrụ ike eluigwe na ụwa na ihe niile dị nʼime ha.
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.
Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, Chineke kwụsịrị ọrụ ya nke ọ na-arụ, o zukwara ike site nʼọrụ ya niile.
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.
Chineke gọziri ụbọchị nke asaa ahụ mee ya ka ọ bụrụ ụbọchị dị nsọ, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼụbọchị ahụ ka ọ zuru ike site nʼọrụ nke ike ihe niile.
4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.
Nke a bụ akụkọ banyere usoro okike eluigwe na ụwa mgbe e kere ha, nʼụbọchị ahụ mgbe Onyenwe anyị Chineke kere eluigwe na ụwa.
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.
Ahịhịa ọbụla epupụtabeghị nʼọhịa, o nwekwaghị ihe ubi ọbụla sitere nʼala pupụta, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke ezitebeghị mmiri ozuzo nʼelu ụwa, o nwekwaghị mmadụ ọbụla nọ na-arụ ọrụ ubi,
6 But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
ma mmiri si nʼala na-asọpụta na-asọ nʼelu ala niile.
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.
Onyenwe anyị Chineke kpụrụ mmadụ site nʼaja nke ala, kunye ya ume ndụ nʼimi ya, nke mere ka mmadụ ghọọ ihe dị ndụ.
8 And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.
Onyenwe anyị Chineke kụrụ ubi a gbara ogige nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, nʼIden. O tinyere mmadụ ahụ ọ kpụrụ nʼime ubi a.
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.
Onyenwe anyị Chineke mere ka osisi dị iche iche si nʼala pupụta, osisi ndị dị mma ile anya na nke dịkwa mma iri eri. Nʼetiti ogige a, e nwere osisi na-enye ndụ, na osisi nke ịmata ihe ọma na ihe ọjọọ.
10 Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:
E nwere iyi si nʼIden na-asọpụta na-asọbanye nʼime ogige ahụ ime ka ala ahụ nwee mmiri. Site nʼebe ahụ, iyi a kewara nwee ngalaba anọ.
11 The name of the first river is Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
Aha ngalaba nke mbụ bụ Paịshọn. Ọ sọọrọ ogologo gafee ala niile nke Havila, ebe a na-enweta ọlaedo.
12 And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.
(Ọlaedo dị nʼala ahụ mara mma. Eso osisi na-esi isi ụtọ na nkume dị oke ọnụahịa a na-akpọ ọniks dịkwa nʼebe ahụ.)
13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it winds through the whole land of Cush.
Aha ngalaba nke abụọ bụ Gaihọn. O sitere nʼala Kush gafee.
14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it runs along the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
Aha osimiri nke atọ bụ Taịgris. Ọ na-asọla nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ nke ala Ashọ. Aha osimiri nke anọ bụ Yufretis.
15 Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
Onyenwe anyị Chineke weere mmadụ ahụ tinye ya nʼogige Iden, ka ọ na-akọ ya ma bụrụkwa onye na-elekọta ya.
16 And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,
Onyenwe anyị Chineke nyere mmadụ ahụ iwu sị ya “I nwere ike iri mkpụrụ osisi niile dị nʼubi a,
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.”
ma ị gaghị eri mkpụrụ si nʼosisi ịmata ihe ọma na ihe ọjọọ. Nʼihi na ụbọchị i riri ya ị ga-anwụrịrị.”
18 The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”
Onyenwe anyị Chineke kwuru sị, “Ọ dịghị mma ka nwoke nọrọ naanị ya. Aga m emere ya onye inyeaka nke kwesiri ya.”
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.
Onyenwe anyị Chineke sitere nʼala kpụọ ụmụ anụmanụ niile nke ọhịa na ụmụ anụ ufe niile nke eluigwe. O dutere ha ka ọ mara ihe mmadụ ahụ ga-akpọ ha. Ihe ọbụla mmadụ ahụ kpọrọ ihe ọbụla ndị a nwere ndụ, nke ahụ bụkwa aha ya.
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.
Ya mere, mmadụ ahụ nyere anụ ụlọ niile na anụ ufe niile na anụ ọhịa niile aha. Ma nʼebe Adam nọ, o nweghị onye inyeaka kwesiri ya.
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.
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị Chineke mere ka nwoke ahụ daa nʼụra. Mgbe ọ nọ na-arahụ ụra, o wepụtara otu ọgịrịga site na ngụ dị ya nʼahụ, mechikwaa ebe o si wepụta ya.
22 And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị Chineke ji otu ọgịrịga o si nʼahụ nwoke ahụ wepụta, mee nwanyị, dutere ya nwoke ahụ.
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.”
Nwoke ahụ kwuru sị, “Nke a bụ ọkpụkpụ si nʼọkpụkpụ m, na anụ ahụ si nʼahụ m, a ga-akpọ ya ‘nwanyị,’ nʼihi na e si nʼime nwoke wepụta ya.”
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
Ọ bụ nke a mere nwoke ga-eji hapụ nne na nna ya, e jikọta ya na nwunye ya, ha ga-abụ otu anụ ahụ.
25 And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
Nwoke ahụ na nwunye ya gba ọtọ, ma ihere emeghị ha.
