Genesis 2
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
Igitur perfecti sunt cæli et terra, et omnis ornatus eorum.
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.
Complevitque Deus die septimo opus suum quod fecerat: et requievit die septimo ab universo opere quod patrarat.
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.
Et benedixit diei septimo; et sanctificavit illum: quia in ipso cessaverat ab omni opere suo quod creavit Deus ut faceret.
4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.
Istæ sunt generationes cæli et terræ, quando creata sunt, in die quo fecit Dominus Deus cælum et terram:
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.
Et omne virgultum agri antequam orietur in terra, omnemque herbam regionis priusquam germinaret: non enim pluerat Dominus Deus super terram, et homo non erat qui operaretur terram:
6 But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
Sed fons ascendebat e terra, irrigans universam superficiem terræ.
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.
Formavit igitur Dominus Deus hominem de limo terræ, et inspiravit in faciem eius spiraculum vitæ, et factus est homo in animam viventem.
8 And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.
Plantaverat autem Dominus Deus Paradisum voluptatis a principio: in quo posuit hominem quem formaverat.
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.
Produxitque Dominus Deus de humo omne lignum pulchrum visu, et ad vescendum suave: lignum etiam vitæ in medio Paradisi, lignumque scientiæ boni et mali.
10 Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:
Et fluvius egrediebatur de loco voluptatis ad irrigandum Paradisum, qui inde dividitur in quatuor capita.
11 The name of the first river is Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
Nomen uni Phison: ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Hevilath, ubi nascitur aurum:
12 And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.
et aurum terræ illius optimum est: ibi invenitur bdellium, et lapis onychinus.
13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it winds through the whole land of Cush.
Et nomen fluvii secundi Gehon: ipse est qui circumit omnem terram Æthiopiæ.
14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it runs along the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
Nomen vero fluminis tertii, Tigris: ipse vadit contra Assyrios. Fluvius autem quartus, ipse est Euphrates.
15 Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
Tulit ergo Dominus Deus hominem, et posuit eum in Paradiso voluptatis, ut operaretur, et custodiret illum:
16 And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,
Præcepitque ei dicens: Ex omni ligno Paradisi comede:
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.”
De ligno autem scientiæ boni et mali ne comedas. In quocumque enim die comederis ex eo, morte morieris.
18 The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”
Dixit quoque Dominus Deus: Non est bonum esse hominem solum: faciamus ei adiutorium simile sibi.
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.
Formatis igitur, Dominus Deus, de humo cunctis animantibus terræ, et universis volatilibus cæli, adduxit ea ad Adam, ut videret quid vocaret ea: omne enim quod vocavit Adam animæ viventis, ipsum est nomen eius.
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.
Appellavitque Adam nominibus suis cuncta animantia, et universa volatilia cæli, et omnes bestias terræ: Adæ vero non inveniebatur adiutor similis eius.
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.
Immisit ergo Dominus Deus soporem in Adam: cumque obdormisset, tulit unam de costis eius, et replevit carnem pro ea.
22 And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.
Et ædificavit Dominus Deus costam, quam tulerat de Adam, in mulierem: et adduxit eam ad Adam.
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.”
Dixitque Adam: Hoc nunc, os ex ossibus meis, et caro de carne mea: hæc vocabitur Virago, quoniam de viro sumpta est.
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
Quam ob rem relinquet homo patrem suum, et matrem, et adhærebit uxori suæ: et erunt duo in carne una.
25 And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
Erat autem uterque nudus, Adam scilicet et uxor eius: et non erubescebant.
