Genesis 2
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
Na ka oti te rangi me te whenua me o reira mano katoa.
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.
A no te whitu o nga ra i oti ai i te Atua tana mahi i mahi ai; na ka okioki ia i te ra whitu i ana mahi katoa i mahia e ia.
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.
Na ka whakapaingia e te Atua te ra whitu, whakatapua ana hoki e ia: mona i okioki i taua ra i ana mahi katoa i oti i te Atua te hanga.
4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.
Ko nga whakatupuranga enei o te rangi, o te whenua, i te hanganga ai, i te ra i hanga ai e Ihowa, e te Atua, te whenua me te rangi.
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.
Kahore ano hoki tetahi rakau riki o te parae i te whenua, kahore ano tetahi otaota o te parae kia pihi noa: kahore hoki a Ihowa, te Atua, i mea kia ua ki te whenua, a kahore rawa he tangata hei mahi i te oneone;
6 But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
Engari i pupu ake he kohu i te whenua, na reira i whakamakuku te mata katoa o te oneone.
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.
Na ka whakaahuatia te tangata e Ihowa, e te Atua, he puehu no te oneone, a whakahangia ana e ia ki roto ki ona pongaihu te manawa ora; a ka wairua ora te tangata.
8 And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.
Na ka whakatokia e Ihowa, e te Atua, tetahi kari ki te taha ki te rawhiti, ki Erene; a whakanohoia iho e ia ki reira te tangata i hanga e ia.
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.
A i whakatupuria e Ihowa, e te Atua, i roto i te oneone nga rakau katoa he mea ahuareka ki te titiro, he pai hoki hei kai; ko te rakau hoki o te ora ki waenganui o te kari, me te rakau o te matauranga ki te pai, ki te kino.
10 Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:
I rere mai ano he awa i Erene hei whakamakuku i te kari; a i reira ka manganga e wha nga tino awa.
11 The name of the first river is Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
Ko te ingoa o te tuatahi ko Pihona; ko ia tera e taiawhio ra i te whenua katoa o Hawira, he koura kei reira;
12 And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.
He pai hoki te koura o taua whenua: kei reira te teriuma me te kohatu onika.
13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it winds through the whole land of Cush.
Ko te ingoa o te rua o nga awa ko Kihona: ko ia tera e taiawhio ra i te whenua katoa o Etiopia.
14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it runs along the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
Ko te ingoa o te toru o nga awa ko Hirekere; ko te mea tera e rere ra i mua o Ahiria. Ko Uparati te wha o nga awa.
15 Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
Na ka tango a Ihowa, te Atua, i te tangata, a whakanohoia ana e ia ki te kari o Erene, hei ngaki, hei tiaki hoki reira.
16 And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,
Na ka ako a Ihowa, te Atua, ki te tangata, ka mea, E pai ana kia kai noa atu koe i nga hua o nga rakau katoa o te kari:
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.”
Ko te rakau ia o te matauranga ki te pai, ki te kino, kaua e kainga tetahi o ona hua; ko te ra e kai ai koe i tetahi o ona hua, ka mate koe, mate rawa.
18 The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”
Na ka mea a Ihowa, te Atua, E kore e pai kia noho te tangata ko ia anake; me hanga e ahau tetahi hoa pai mona.
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.
Na he mea whakaahua mai na Ihowa, na te Atua, i roto i te oneone nga kirehe katoa o te parae, me nga manu katoa o te rangi; a kawea mai ana e ia ki a Arama, kia kitea ai te ingoa e huaina e ia ki a ratou: a ko a Arama i hua ai ki nga mea ora kat oa, hei ingoa era mo ratou.
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.
Na ka huaina e Arama he ingoa mo nga kararehe katoa, mo nga manu o te rangi, mo nga kirehe katoa hoki o te parae; ko Arama ia kahore i kitea tetahi hoa pai mona.
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 ka mea a Ihowa, te Atua, kia parangia a Arama e te moe, a moe ana ia: na tangohia ana e ia tetahi o ona rara, a whakatutakina atu ana te kikokiko hei whakakapi mo reira;
22 And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.
Na ka hanga a Ihowa, te Atua, i te rara i tangohia mai ra e ia i roto i a Arama hei wahine, a kawea ana e ia ki a Arama.
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.”
A ka mea a Arama, Katahi ano ki tenei te wheua o roto o oku wheua, me te kikokiko o roto o oku kikokiko: me hua ia ko te Wahine, nona hoki i tangohia mai i roto i te Tangata.
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
No konei te tangata ka whakarere i tona papa me tona whaea, a ka piri ki tana wahine: a hei kikokiko kotahi raua.
25 And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
A e tu tahanga ana raua tokorua, te tangata me tana wahine, kihai hoki i whakama.
