< Genesis 2 >

1 And so the heavens and the earth were completed, with all their adornment.
Báyìí ni Ọlọ́run parí dídá àwọn ọ̀run àti ayé, àti ohun gbogbo tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀.
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.
Ní ọjọ́ keje Ọlọ́run sì parí iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ tí ó ti ń ṣe; ó sì sinmi ní ọjọ́ keje kúrò nínú iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ gbogbo tí ó ti ń ṣe.
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.
Ọlọ́run sì súre fún ọjọ́ keje, ó sì yà á sí mímọ́, nítorí pé ní ọjọ́ náà ni ó sinmi kúrò nínú iṣẹ́ dídá ayé tí ó ti ń ṣe.
4 These are the generations of heaven and earth, when they were created, in the day when the Lord God made heaven and earth,
Èyí ni ìtàn bí Ọlọ́run ṣe dá àwọn ọ̀run àti ayé nígbà tí ó dá wọn. Nígbà tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run dá ayé àti àwọn ọ̀run.
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.
Kò sí igi igbó kan ní orí ilẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí ewéko igbó kan tí ó tí ì hù jáde ní ilẹ̀, nítorí Olúwa Ọlọ́run kò tí ì rọ̀jò sórí ilẹ̀, kò sì sí ènìyàn láti ro ilẹ̀.
6 But a fountain ascended from the earth, irrigating the entire surface of the land.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìsun omi ń jáde láti ilẹ̀, ó sì ń bu omi rin gbogbo ilẹ̀.
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.
Olúwa Ọlọ́run sì fi erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀ mọ ènìyàn, ó si mí èémí ìyè sí ihò imú rẹ̀, ènìyàn sì di alààyè ọkàn.
8 Now the Lord God had planted a Paradise of enjoyment from the beginning. In it, he placed the man whom he had formed.
Olúwa Ọlọ́run sì gbin ọgbà kan sí Edeni ní ìhà ìlà-oòrùn, níbẹ̀ ni ó fi ọkùnrin náà tí ó ti dá sí.
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.
Olúwa Ọlọ́run sì mú kí onírúurú igi hù jáde láti inú ilẹ̀, àwọn igi tí ó dùn ún wò lójú, tí ó sì dára fún oúnjẹ. Ní àárín ọgbà náà ni igi ìyè àti igi tí ń mú ènìyàn mọ rere àti búburú wà.
10 And a river went forth from the place of enjoyment so as to irrigate Paradise, which is divided from there into four heads.
Odò kan sì ń ti Edeni sàn wá láti bu omi rin ọgbà náà, láti ibẹ̀ ni odò náà gbé ya sí ipa mẹ́rin.
11 The name of one is the Phison; it is that which runs through all the land of Hevilath, where gold is born;
Orúkọ èkínní ni Pisoni, òun ni ó sàn yí gbogbo ilẹ̀ Hafila ká, níbi tí wúrà gbé wà.
12 and the gold of that land is the finest. In that place is found bdellium and the onyx stone.
(Wúrà ilẹ̀ náà dára, òjìá àti òkúta óníkìsì oníyebíye wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú).
13 And the name of the second river is the Gehon; it is that which runs through all the land of Ethiopia.
Orúkọ odò kejì ni Gihoni, òun ni ó sàn yí gbogbo ilẹ̀ Kuṣi ká.
14 Truly, the name of the third river is the Tigris; it advances opposite the Assyrians. But the fourth river, it is the Euphrates.
Orúkọ odò kẹta ni Tigirisi, òun ni ó sàn ní apá ìlà-oòrùn ilẹ̀ Asiria. Odò kẹrin ni Eufurate.
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.
Olúwa Ọlọ́run mú ọkùnrin náà sínú ọgbà Edeni láti máa ṣe iṣẹ́ níbẹ̀, kí ó sì máa ṣe ìtọ́jú rẹ̀.
16 And he instructed him, saying: “From every tree of Paradise, you shall eat.
Olúwa Ọlọ́run sì pàṣẹ fún ọkùnrin náà pé, “Ìwọ lè jẹ lára èyíkéyìí èso àwọn igi inú ọgbà;
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.”
ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ nínú èso igi ìmọ̀ rere àti èso igi ìmọ̀ búburú, nítorí ní ọjọ́ tí ìwọ bá jẹ ẹ́ ni ìwọ yóò kùú.”
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.”
Olúwa Ọlọ́run wí pé, “Kò dára kí ọkùnrin wà ní òun nìkan. Èmi yóò ṣe olùrànlọ́wọ́ tí ó rí bí i rẹ̀ fún un.”
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.
Lẹ́yìn tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run ti dá àwọn ẹranko inú igbó àti gbogbo ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run láti inú erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀. Ó sì kó wọn tọ ọkùnrin náà wá láti wo orúkọ tí yóò sọ wọ́n; orúkọ tí ó sì sọ gbogbo ẹ̀dá alààyè náà ni wọ́n ń jẹ́.
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.
Gbogbo ohun ọ̀sìn, ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run àti gbogbo ẹranko igbó ni ọkùnrin náà sọ ní orúkọ. Ṣùgbọ́n fún Adamu ni a kò rí olùrànlọ́wọ́ tí ó rí bí i rẹ̀.
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.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run mú kí ọkùnrin náà sùn fọnfọn; nígbà tí ó sì ń sùn, Ọlọ́run yọ egungun ìhà rẹ̀ kan, ó sì fi ẹran-ara bò ó padà.
22 And the Lord God built up the rib, which he took from Adam, into a woman. And he led her to Adam.
Olúwa Ọlọ́run sì dá obìnrin láti inú egungun tí ó yọ ní ìhà ọkùnrin náà, Ó sì mu obìnrin náà tọ̀ ọ́ wá.
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.”
Ọkùnrin náà sì wí pé, “Èyí ni egungun láti inú egungun mi àti ẹran-ara nínú ẹran-ara mi; ‘obìnrin’ ni a ó máa pè é, nítorí a mú un jáde láti ara ọkùnrin.”
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.
Nítorí ìdí èyí, ọkùnrin yóò fi baba àti ìyá rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, yóò sì dàpọ̀ mọ́ aya rẹ̀, wọn yóò sì di ara kan.
25 Now they were both naked: Adam, of course, and his wife. And they were not ashamed.
Ọkùnrin náà àti aya rẹ̀ sì wà ní ìhòhò, ojú kò sì tì wọ́n.
