Genesis 2
1 And so the heavens and the earth were completed, with all their adornment.
Ale Mawu wu dziƒo kple anyigba kpakple nu siwo katã le xexea me la wɔwɔ nu.
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.
Eya ta le ŋkeke adrelia gbe, esi Mawu wu eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo nu la, edzudzɔ eɖokui tso eƒe dɔwɔnawo katã me.
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.
Mawu yra ŋkeke adrelia, eye wòwɔe kɔkɔe, elabena eyae nye ŋkeke si dzi wòdzudzɔ xexea me wɔwɔ le.
4 These are the generations of heaven and earth, when they were created, in the day when the Lord God made heaven and earth,
Esiawoe nye dziƒo kple anyigba ƒe dzɔdzɔmenyawo, le wo wɔwɔ me le ɣeyiɣi si me Yehowa Mawu wɔ anyigba kple dziƒo.
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.
Do ŋgɔ la, atiwo kple gbewo memie ɖe anyigba dzi haɖe o, elabena Yehowa Mawu meɖo tsidzadza ɖa haɖe o, eye ame aɖeke hã menɔ anyi ade agble ɖe anyigba la dzi o.
6 But a fountain ascended from the earth, irrigating the entire surface of the land.
Gake tsi dzi tso anyigba ƒe tume le teƒe aɖewo, eye wòtsa le anyigba la dzi.
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.
Azɔ Yehowa Mawu tsɔ anyi me amegbetɔ, eye wògbɔ agbegbɔgbɔ ɖe eƒe ŋɔtime, eye wòzu luʋɔ gbagbe.
8 Now the Lord God had planted a Paradise of enjoyment from the beginning. In it, he placed the man whom he had formed.
Esia megbe la, Yehowa Mawu wɔ abɔ aɖe ɖe Eden le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, eye wòtsɔ ame si wòwɔ la da ɖe abɔ la me.
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.
Yehowa Mawu do ati siwo nya kpɔna la ƒomeviwo katã ɖe abɔ la me. Ati siawo tsea ku viviwo. Agbeti kple ati si nana wodzea si nyui kple vɔ̃ la le abɔ la titina.
10 And a river went forth from the place of enjoyment so as to irrigate Paradise, which is divided from there into four heads.
Tɔsisi aɖe tso Eden ƒe anyigba dzi tsa to abɔ la me hede tsii. Tɔsisi la ma ɖe alɔdze ene me.
11 The name of one is the Phison; it is that which runs through all the land of Hevilath, where gold is born;
Alɔdze gbãtɔ ŋkɔe nye Pison. Etsa to Havilanyigba blibo la dzi, afi si sika le.
12 and the gold of that land is the finest. In that place is found bdellium and the onyx stone.
(Sika la nyo ŋutɔ. Resin kple onikskpe hã le afi ma.)
13 And the name of the second river is the Gehon; it is that which runs through all the land of Ethiopia.
Alɔdze evelia ŋkɔe nye Gihon. Etsa to Kus ƒe anyigba blibo la dzi.
14 Truly, the name of the third river is the Tigris; it advances opposite the Assyrians. But the fourth river, it is the Euphrates.
Alɔdze etɔ̃lia ŋkɔe nye Tigris. Etsa to Asiria ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo. Alɔdze eneliae nye Frat tɔsisi la.
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.
Yehowa Mawu tsɔ ame la da ɖe Edenbɔ la me abe abɔdzikpɔla ene.
16 And he instructed him, saying: “From every tree of Paradise, you shall eat.
Yehowa Mawu de se na ame la be, “Èkpɔ mɔ aɖu ati sia ati le abɔ sia me,
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.”
gake mèkpɔ mɔ aɖu ati si nana wodzea si nyui kple vɔ̃ ya o, elabena ne èɖui la, ku kee nàku.”
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.”
Yehowa Mawu gblɔ be, “Menyo be ame la ɖeka ko nanɔ anyi o. Mawɔ kpeɖeŋutɔ si asɔ ɖe eŋu la nɛ.”
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.
Azɔ Yehowa Mawu tsɔ anyi wɔ gbemelãwo katã kple dziƒoxeviwo katã. Ekplɔ wo va ame la gbɔe be yeanya ŋkɔ si wòana ɖe sia ɖe, eye ale si ame la yɔ nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖee la zu ŋkɔ nɛ.
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.
Ale ame la na ŋkɔ nu gbagbeawo, aƒemelãwo, dziƒoxeviwo kple gbemelãwo katã. Ke amea ya mekpɔ kpeɖeŋutɔ si asɔ nɛ o.
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.
Tete Yehowa Mawu na ŋutsu la dɔ alɔ̃ yi eme ʋĩi. Emegbe la, eɖe ame la ƒe axaƒuti ɖeka, eye wòxe teƒe si wòɖee tsoe la.
22 And the Lord God built up the rib, which he took from Adam, into a woman. And he led her to Adam.
Yehowa Mawu tsɔ axaƒuti si wòɖe le amea me la wɔ nyɔnu, eye wòkplɔe va ame la gbɔ.
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.”
Tete ame la do dzidzɔɣli be, “Ɛhɛ̃! Esiae nye ƒu tso nye ƒu me kple lã tso nye lãme. Woayɔe be ‘nyɔnu’, elabena ŋutsu me woɖee tsoe.”
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.
Esia ta ŋutsu gblẽa fofoa kple dadaa ɖi, eye wòkuna ɖe srɔ̃a ŋu ale gbegbe be ame eveawo zua ame ɖeka.
25 Now they were both naked: Adam, of course, and his wife. And they were not ashamed.
Togbɔ be Adam kple srɔ̃a nɔ amama hã la, ŋu mekpea wo dometɔ aɖeke o.
