< Genesis 2 >

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
सारा आकाशमण्डल र पृथ्वी, र तिनमा भएका सबै जीवित प्राणीहरूको सृष्‍टि पुरा भयो ।
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.
सातौँ दिनसम्ममा परमेश्‍वरले आफूले गर्नुभएको कामलाई पुरा गर्नुभयो ।यसैकारण उहाँले सातौँ दिनमा सबै कामबाट विश्राम लिनुभयो ।
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.
परमेश्‍वरले सातौँ दिनलाई आशिष्‍्‍ दिनुभयो र त्यसलाई पवित्र तुल्याउनुभयो, किनभने आफ्नो सृष्‍टिमा गर्नुभएका सबै कामबाट यसै दिनमा उहाँले विश्राम लिनुभयो ।
4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.
परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले आकाश र पृथ्वीलाई सृष्‍टि गर्नुभएको समयमा भएका घटनाक्रमहरूको वृत्तान्त यही थियो ।
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.
पृथ्वीको भूमिमा अझै कुनै वनस्पति थिएन, र कुनै बिरुवा पनि उम्रेको थिएन, किनभने परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले पृथ्वीमा पानी वर्साउनुभएको थिएन, र भूमिमा खेती गर्नको निम्ति त्यहाँ कुनै मानिस थिएन ।
6 But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
तर पृथ्वीबाट माथि आएको कुइरोले जम्मै भूमिको सतहलाई भिजाउने गर्थ्यो ।
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.
परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले भूमिको माटोबाट मानिस बनाउनुभयो, र त्यसको नाखबाट जीवनको सास फुकिदिनुभयो, र मानिस जीवित प्राणी भयो ।
8 And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.
परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले अदनको पूर्वतिर एउटा बगैँचा लगाउनुभयो, र उहाँले बनाउनुभएको मानिसलाई त्यहीँ राख्‍नुभयो ।
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.
हेर्नमा राम्रो र खानको निम्ति असल फल भएको सबै रुखलाई परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले भूमिबाट उमार्नुभयो । बगैँचाको बिचमा भएको जीवनको रुख, अनि असल र खराबको ज्ञान दिने रुख पनि उहाँले उमार्नुभयो ।
10 Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:
बगैँचालाई भिजाउन अदनबाट एउटा नदी निस्केको थियो । त्यहाँबाट त्यो छुट्टिएर चारवटा नदी बनेका थिए ।
11 The name of the first river is Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
पहिलो नदीको नाम पीशोन हो । यो त्यही नदी हो जुन हवीलाको सारा भूमिमा बग्दछ, जहाँ सुन पाइन्छ ।
12 And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.
त्यस भूमिको सुन असल छ । त्यहाँ खोटो र आनिक्स पत्थर पनि छन् ।
13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it winds through the whole land of Cush.
दोस्रो नदीको नाम गीहोन हो । योचाहिँ कूशको सारा भूमिमा बग्दछ ।
14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it runs along the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
तेस्रो नदीको नाम टाइग्रिस हो, जुन अश्शूरको पूर्वबाट बग्दछ । चौथो नदी यूफ्रेटिस हो ।
15 Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले मानिसलाई अदनको बगैँचामा लगी त्यहाँ खेतीपाती गर्न र त्यसको हेरचाह गर्न राख्‍नुभयो ।
16 And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,
परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले यसो भनी आज्ञा गर्नुभयो, “बगैँचाको सबै रुखबाट खान तँलाई स्वतन्‍त्रता छ ।
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.”
तर असल र खराबको ज्ञान दिने रुखबाट तैँले नखानू, किनभने जुन दिन तैँले त्यो फल खान्छस्, तँ निश्‍चय नै मर्नेछस् ।”
18 The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”
त्यसपछि परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले भन्‍नुभयो, “मानिस एकलो रहन असल छैन । म त्यसको लागि एउटा सुहाउने सहयोगी बनाउनेछु ।”
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.
परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले भूमिबाट सबै पशुहरू र आकाशका सबै पक्षीहरू बनाउनुभयो । त्यसपछि मानिसले ती सबैलाई के नामले बोलाउँदो रहेछ भनेर उहाँले ती त्यसको अगि ल्याउनुभयो । हरेक जीवित प्राणीलाई मानिसले जे-जे नामले बोलायो, त्यही-त्यही नै हरेकको नाम भयो ।
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.
मानिसले सबै पाल्तु पशु, आकाशका सबै पक्षीहरू, र सबै जङ्गली जनावरहरूलाई नाम दियो । तर मानिसको निम्ति त्यहाँ कुनै सुहाउँदो सहयोगी पाइएन ।
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.
परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले मानिसलाई गहिरो निद्रामा पार्नुभयो, यसैकारण मानिस निदायो । परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले त्यसका करङहरूमध्ये एउटा झिक्‍नुभयो र करङ झिकेको ठाउँमा मासु भरिदिनुभयो ।
22 And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.
परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वरले मानिसबाट झिक्‍नुभएको करङबाट एउटी स्‍त्री बनाउनुभयो र तिनलाई मानिसकहाँ ल्याउनुभयो ।
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.”
मानिसले भन्यो, “यिनी त मेरा हाडहरूको हाड र मासुको मासु हुन् । यिनलाई ‘नारी’ भनिनेछ, किनभने यिनी नरबाट झिकिएकी थिइन् ।”
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
त्यसैकारण मानिसले आफ्ना बुबा र आमालाई छोड्नेछ, त्यो आफ्नी पत्‍नीसँग एक हुनेछ, र तिनीहरू एउटै शरीर हुनेछन् ।
25 And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
मानिस र त्यसकी पत्‍नी दुवै नाङ्‍गै थिए, तर तिनीहरू लजाउँदैन थिए ।
