Genesis 2
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
Ezalaki bongo nde likolo mpe mokili ekelamaki elongo na biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango.
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.
Na mokolo ya sambo, Nzambe asilisaki mosala oyo asalaki. Boye, na mokolo ya sambo, akataki mosala nyonso oyo azalaki kosala.
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.
Nzambe apambolaki mokolo ya sambo, abulisaki yango, pamba te na mokolo yango nde akataki mosala nyonso ya kokela oyo azalaki kosala.
4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.
Tala ndenge likolo mpe mokili elongo na biloko oyo ezali kati na yango ezalaki tango ekelamaki. Tango Yawe Nzambe akelaki mokili mpe likolo,
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.
ata nzete moko te ya elanga ezalaki, mpe ata molona moko te ya elanga etikalaki kobimisa moto, pamba te Yawe Nzambe anokisaki nanu mvula te na mokili, mpe moto azalaki te mpo na kolona yango na mabele.
6 But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
Kasi mayi ezalaki kobima wuta na se mpe ezalaki kopanzana na etando nyonso ya mokili.
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.
Yawe Nzambe asalaki moto wuta na putulu ya mabele, afulaki pema ya bomoi na madusu ya zolo na ye; mpe moto akomaki ekelamu ya bomoi.
8 And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.
Yawe Nzambe alonaki elanga moko kati na Edeni, na ngambo ya este. Atiaki moto oyo akelaki kati na yango.
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.
Yawe Nzambe abimisaki wuta na mabele banzete ya lolenge nyonso oyo ezalaki kitoko mpo na kotala mpe elengi mpo na kolia. Atiaki mpe nzete ya bomoi na kati-kati ya elanga; lisusu atiaki nzete ya koyeba malamu mpe mabe.
10 Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:
Ebale moko ezalaki kobima na Edeni mpe ezalaki kosopa mayi na elanga. Mayi ya ebale yango ekabwanaki na biteni minei.
11 The name of the first river is Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
Eteni ya liboso, kombo na yango « Pishoni. » Yango ezingeli mokili mobimba ya Avila oyo mabele na yango ezalaki na wolo.
12 And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.
Wolo ya mokili yango ezalaki kitoko. Ezalaki lisusu na molona ya malasi mpe na mabanga ya onikisi kati na mokili yango.
13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it winds through the whole land of Cush.
Eteni ya mibale, kombo na yango « Giyoni. » Yango ezingeli mokili mobimba ya Kushi.
14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it runs along the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
Eteni ya misato, kombo na yango « Tigre. » Yango elekana na este ya Asiri. Mpe eteni ya minei, kombo na yango « Efrate. »
15 Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
Yawe Nzambe azwaki moto mpe atiaki ye kati na elanga ya Edeni mpo na kolona yango mpe kobatela yango.
16 And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,
Mpe Yawe Nzambe apesaki mitindo oyo na moto: « Okoki kolia mbuma nyonso ya elanga,
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.”
kasi okolia te mbuma ya nzete ya koyeba malamu mpe mabe; pamba te mokolo oyo okolia yango, okokufa solo. »
18 The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”
Yawe Nzambe alobaki: « Ezali malamu te ete mobali azala ye moko; nakosalela ye mosungi oyo azali ndenge moko na ye. »
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.
Yawe Nzambe asalaki, wuta na mabele, banyama nyonso ya zamba mpe bandeke nyonso ya likolo. Amemaki yango epai ya mobali mpo na kotala ndenge akopesa yango kombo, mpo ete ekelamu nyonso ya bomoi ebengama na kombo oyo mobali akopesa yango.
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.
Yango wana, mobali apesaki bakombo na bibwele nyonso, na bandeke nyonso ya likolo mpe na banyama nyonso ya zamba. Kasi amonaki te mosungi oyo akokaki kozala ndenge moko na ye.
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.
Na yango, Yawe Nzambe alalisaki mobali pongi ya makasi. Mpe wana mobali azalaki kolala, Yawe Nzambe azwaki mokuwa moko na mopanzi ya mobali mpe azipaki mosuni na esika yango.
22 And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.
Yawe Nzambe asalaki mwasi na mokuwa oyo azwaki na mopanzi ya mobali mpe amemaki ye epai ya mobali.
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.”
Boye, mobali alobaki: « Tala na mbala oyo, oyo azali mokuwa ya mikuwa na ngai, mosuni ya mosuni na ngai. Bakobenga ye mwasi, pamba te awuti na mobali. »
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
Yango wana, mobali akotika tata na ye mpe mama na ye, akosangana na mwasi na ye, mpe bakokoma nzoto moko.
25 And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
Mobali mpe mwasi na ye bazalaki bolumbu mpe bazalaki koyokana soni te.
