< Genesis 2 >

1 And so the heavens and the earth were completed, with all their adornment.
Y FUERON acabados los cielos y la tierra, y todo su ornamento.
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.
Y acabó Dios en el día séptimo su obra que hizo, y reposó el día séptimo de toda su obra que había hecho.
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.
Y bendijo Dios al día séptimo, y santificólo, porque en él reposó de toda su obra que había Dios criado y hecho.
4 These are the generations of heaven and earth, when they were created, in the day when the Lord God made heaven and earth,
Estos son los orígenes de los cielos y de la tierra cuando fueron criados, el día que Jehová Dios hizo la tierra y los cielos,
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.
Y toda planta del campo antes que fuese en la tierra, y toda hierba del campo antes que naciese: porque aun no había Jehová Dios hecho llover sobre la tierra, ni había hombre para que labrase la tierra;
6 But a fountain ascended from the earth, irrigating the entire surface of the land.
Mas subía de la tierra un vapor, que regaba toda la faz de la tierra.
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.
Formó, pues, Jehová Dios al hombre del polvo de la tierra, y alentó en su nariz soplo de vida; y fué el hombre en alma viviente.
8 Now the Lord God had planted a Paradise of enjoyment from the beginning. In it, he placed the man whom he had formed.
Y había Jehová Dios plantado un huerto en Edén al oriente, y puso allí al hombre que había formado.
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.
Y había Jehová Dios hecho nacer de la tierra todo árbol delicioso á la vista, y bueno para comer: también el árbol de vida en medio del huerto, y el árbol de ciencia del bien y del mal.
10 And a river went forth from the place of enjoyment so as to irrigate Paradise, which is divided from there into four heads.
Y salía de Edén un río para regar el huerto, y de allí se repartía en cuatro ramales.
11 The name of one is the Phison; it is that which runs through all the land of Hevilath, where gold is born;
El nombre del uno era Pisón: éste es el que cerca toda la tierra de Havilah, donde hay oro:
12 and the gold of that land is the finest. In that place is found bdellium and the onyx stone.
Y el oro de aquella tierra es bueno: hay allí [también] bdelio y piedra cornerina.
13 And the name of the second river is the Gehon; it is that which runs through all the land of Ethiopia.
El nombre del segundo río es Gihón: éste es el que rodea toda la tierra de Etiopía.
14 Truly, the name of the third river is the Tigris; it advances opposite the Assyrians. But the fourth river, it is the Euphrates.
Y el nombre del tercer río es Hiddekel: éste es el que va delante de Asiria. Y el cuarto río es el Eufrates.
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.
Tomó, pues, Jehová Dios al hombre, y le puso en el huerto de Edén, para que lo labrara y lo guardase.
16 And he instructed him, saying: “From every tree of Paradise, you shall eat.
Y mandó Jehová Dios al hombre, diciendo: De todo árbol del huerto comerás;
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.”
Mas del árbol de ciencia del bien y del mal no comerás de él; porque el día que de él comieres, morirás.
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.”
Y dijo Jehová Dios: No es bueno que el hombre esté solo; haréle ayuda idónea para él.
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.
Formó, pues, Jehová Dios de la tierra toda bestia del campo, y toda ave de los cielos, y trájolas á Adam, para que viese cómo les había de llamar; y todo lo que Adam llamó á los animales vivientes, ese es su nombre.
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.
Y puso Adam nombres á toda bestia y ave de los cielos y á todo animal del campo: mas para Adam no halló ayuda que [estuviese] idónea para él.
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.
Y Jehová Dios hizo caer sueño sobre Adam, y se quedó dormido: entonces tomó una de sus costillas, y cerró la carne en su lugar;
22 And the Lord God built up the rib, which he took from Adam, into a woman. And he led her to Adam.
Y de la costilla que Jehová Dios tomó del hombre, hizo una mujer, y trájola al hombre.
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.”
Y dijo Adam: Esto es ahora hueso de mis huesos, y carne de mi carne: ésta será llamada Varona, porque del varón fué tomada.
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.
Por tanto, dejará el hombre á su padre y á su madre, y allegarse ha á su mujer, y serán una sola carne.
25 Now they were both naked: Adam, of course, and his wife. And they were not ashamed.
Y estaban ambos desnudos, Adam y su mujer, y no se avergonzaban.
