Genesis 2
1 And so the heavens and the earth were completed, with all their adornment.
Ezalaki bongo nde likolo mpe mokili ekelamaki elongo na biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango.
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.
Na mokolo ya sambo, Nzambe asilisaki mosala oyo asalaki. Boye, na mokolo ya sambo, akataki mosala nyonso oyo azalaki kosala.
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.
Nzambe apambolaki mokolo ya sambo, abulisaki yango, pamba te na mokolo yango nde akataki mosala nyonso ya kokela oyo azalaki kosala.
4 These are the generations of heaven and earth, when they were created, in the day when the Lord God made heaven and earth,
Tala ndenge likolo mpe mokili elongo na biloko oyo ezali kati na yango ezalaki tango ekelamaki. Tango Yawe Nzambe akelaki mokili mpe likolo,
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.
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 a fountain ascended from the earth, irrigating the entire surface of the land.
Kasi mayi ezalaki kobima wuta na se mpe ezalaki kopanzana na etando nyonso ya mokili.
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.
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 Now the Lord God had planted a Paradise of enjoyment from the beginning. In it, he placed the man whom he had formed.
Yawe Nzambe alonaki elanga moko kati na Edeni, na ngambo ya este. Atiaki moto oyo akelaki kati na yango.
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.
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 And a river went forth from the place of enjoyment so as to irrigate Paradise, which is divided from there into four heads.
Ebale moko ezalaki kobima na Edeni mpe ezalaki kosopa mayi na elanga. Mayi ya ebale yango ekabwanaki na biteni minei.
11 The name of one is the Phison; it is that which runs through all the land of Hevilath, where gold is born;
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 the finest. In that place is found bdellium and the onyx stone.
Wolo ya mokili yango ezalaki kitoko. Ezalaki lisusu na molona ya malasi mpe na mabanga ya onikisi kati na mokili yango.
13 And the name of the second river is the Gehon; it is that which runs through all the land of Ethiopia.
Eteni ya mibale, kombo na yango « Giyoni. » Yango ezingeli mokili mobimba ya Kushi.
14 Truly, the name of the third river is the Tigris; it advances opposite the Assyrians. But the fourth river, it 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 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.
Yawe Nzambe azwaki moto mpe atiaki ye kati na elanga ya Edeni mpo na kolona yango mpe kobatela yango.
16 And he instructed him, saying: “From every tree of Paradise, you shall eat.
Mpe Yawe Nzambe apesaki mitindo oyo na moto: « Okoki kolia mbuma nyonso ya elanga,
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.”
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. Let us make a helper for him similar to himself.”
Yawe Nzambe alobaki: « Ezali malamu te ete mobali azala ye moko; nakosalela ye mosungi oyo azali ndenge moko na ye. »
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 the Lord God built up the rib, which he took from Adam, into a woman. And he led her to Adam.
Yawe Nzambe asalaki mwasi na mokuwa oyo azwaki na mopanzi ya mobali mpe amemaki ye epai ya mobali.
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.”
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 shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife; and the two shall be as one flesh.
Yango wana, mobali akotika tata na ye mpe mama na ye, akosangana na mwasi na ye, mpe bakokoma nzoto moko.
25 Now they were both naked: Adam, of course, and his wife. And they were not ashamed.
Mobali mpe mwasi na ye bazalaki bolumbu mpe bazalaki koyokana soni te.
