< Genesis 2 >
1 And so the heavens and the earth were completed, with all their adornment.
Te tlam te vaan rhoek khaw, diklai khaw, amih kah caempuei boeih khaw a coeng.
2 And on the seventh day, God fulfilled his work, which he had made. And on the seventh day he rested from all his work, which he had accomplished.
Pathen loh amah kah a bi saii te hnin rhih neh a coeng tih a hnin rhih vaengah a bibi saii boeih te a duem tak.
3 And he blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. For in it, he had ceased from all his work: the work whereby God created whatever he should make.
Te phoeiah Pathen loh a rhih khohnin te yoethen a paek tih te te a ciim. Te vaengah Pathen tah saii ham a suen a bibi boeih lamloh duem.
4 These are the generations of heaven and earth, when they were created, in the day when the Lord God made heaven and earth,
He tah BOEIPA Pathen loh diklai neh vaan a saii tue ah a suen vaan neh diklai kah a rhuirhong ni.
5 and every sapling of the field, before it would rise up in the land, and every wild plant, before it would germinate. For the Lord God had not brought rain upon the earth, and there was no man to work the land.
Te vaengah BOEIPA Pathen loh diklai la kho a tlan sak hlan dongah kohong kah tangpuem boeih khaw diklai ah poe hlan. Te dongah lohma kah baelhing boeih daih hlan tih lo tawn ham hlang ana om pawh.
6 But a fountain ascended from the earth, irrigating the entire surface of the land.
Tedae diklai lamkah tuihu ha thoeng tih diklai hman boeih a suep.
7 And then the Lord God formed man from the clay of the earth, and he breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA Pathen loh diklai lamkah laipi te hlang la a hlinsai. Te phoeiah hingnah hiil te a hnarhong ah a ueng pah tih aka hing tongpa hinglu la coeng.
8 Now the Lord God had planted a Paradise of enjoyment from the beginning. In it, he placed the man whom he had formed.
Te dongah BOEIPA Pathen loh khothoeng kah Eden ah dum a hlo tih a hlang saii te a khueh.
9 And from the soil the Lord God produced every tree that was beautiful to behold and pleasant to eat. And even the tree of life was in the midst of Paradise, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
BOEIPA Pathen loh diklai lamkah thing mueimae then neh caak then boeih te a poe sak tih dum kah laklung ah hingnah thing neh a thae a then mingnah thing om.
10 And a river went forth from the place of enjoyment so as to irrigate Paradise, which is divided from there into four heads.
Te vaengah dum aka suep ham Eden lamkah tuiva long tih te lamkah a phih uh vaengah tuisae pali la coeng.
11 The name of one is the Phison; it is that which runs through all the land of Hevilath, where gold is born;
Lamhma kah a ming tah Pishon tih sui aka om Havilah khohmuen tom la a ken.
12 and the gold of that land is the finest. In that place is found bdellium and the onyx stone.
Te khohmuen kah sui tah then tih thingpi neh oitha lungto khaw pahoi om.
13 And the name of the second river is the Gehon; it is that which runs through all the land of Ethiopia.
Te phoeiah tuiva pabae kah a ming tah Khusah khohmuen boeih aka hil Gihon ni.
14 Truly, the name of the third river is the Tigris; it advances opposite the Assyrians. But the fourth river, it is the Euphrates.
Te phoeiah tuiva a pathum kah ming tah khothoeng Assyria la aka long Khiddekel ni. Tuiva a pali nah tetah Perath ni.
15 Thus, the Lord God brought the man, and put him into the Paradise of enjoyment, so that it would be attended and preserved by him.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA Pathen loh hlang te a loh tih Eden dum ah thotat ham neh dum aka hung ham a khueh.
16 And he instructed him, saying: “From every tree of Paradise, you shall eat.
Te dongah BOEIPA Pathen loh hlang taengah a uen tih, “Dum kah thingkung boeih te caak la ca.
17 But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat. For in whatever day you will eat from it, you will die a death.”
Tedae a then neh a thae mingnah thingkung lamkah te ca boeh. Te te na caak hnin vaeng lamloh na duek rhoe na duek ni,” a ti nah.
18 The Lord God also said: “It is not good for the man to be alone. Let us make a helper for him similar to himself.”
Te vaengah BOEIPA Pathen loh, “Hlang he amah bueng tah om ham then pawh anih ham amah neh a naii uh la bomkung ka saii ni,” a ti.
19 Therefore, the Lord God, having formed from the soil all the animals of the earth and all the flying creatures of the air, brought them to Adam, in order to see what he would call them. For whatever Adam would call any living creature, that would be its name.
Te dongah BOEIPA Pathen loh diklai lamkah, a hlin a sai kohong mulhing boeih neh vaan kah vaa boeih soah metla a khue te hmuh ham khaw, hlang loh a khue boeih te tah mulhing hinglu ming la om sak ham khaw, hlang taengla a khuen.
20 And Adam called each of the living things by their names: all the flying creatures of the air, and all the wild beasts of the land. Yet truly, for Adam, there was not found a helper similar to himself.
Te dongah hlang loh rhamsa boeih khaw, vaan kah vaa te khaw, kohong kah mulhing khaw, ming a paek dae Adam neh aka tiing la bomkung hmu pawh.
21 And so the Lord God sent a deep sleep upon Adam. And when he was fast asleep, he took one of his ribs, and he completed it with flesh for it.
Te dongah BOEIPA Pathen loh tongpa te muelh a ih sak. A ih vaengah a vaerhuh pakhat te a loh pah phoeiah a pumsa kah a hma te tloep a saibawn sak.
22 And the Lord God built up the rib, which he took from Adam, into a woman. And he led her to Adam.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA Pathen loh tongpa lamkah a loh vaerhuh te huta la a saii tih tongpa taengla a khuen.
23 And Adam said: “Now this is bone from my bones, and flesh from my flesh. This one shall be called woman, because she was taken from man.”
Te vaengah tongpa loh, “Tahae kah he ka rhuh lamkah ka rhuh, ka saa lamkah ka saa ni. Anih he tongpa lamkah a loh dongah huta tila ka khue ni,” a ti
24 For this reason, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife; and the two shall be as one flesh.
Te dongah tongpa loh a napa neh a manu te a toeng ni. Te phoeiah a yuu taengla khoem uh vetih pumsa pakhat la om rhoi ni.
25 Now they were both naked: Adam, of course, and his wife. And they were not ashamed.
Te vaengah tongpa neh a yuu tah pumtling la om rhoi dae yak rhoi pawh.
