< Genesis 2 >
1 And the heavens and the earth and all their host were finished.
Igitur perfecti sunt caeli et terra, et omnis ornatus eorum.
2 And God had finished on the seventh day his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Complevitque Deus die septimo opus suum quod fecerat: et requievit die septimo ab universo opere quod patrarat.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, because that on it he rested from all his work which God had created in making it.
Et benedixit diei septimo; et sanctificavit illum: quia in ipso cessaverat ab omni opere suo quod creavit Deus ut faceret.
4 These are the histories of the heavens and the earth, when they were created, in the day that Jehovah Elohim made earth and heavens,
Istae sunt generationes caeli et terrae, quando creata sunt, in die quo fecit Dominus Deus caelum et terram:
5 and every shrub of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew; for Jehovah Elohim had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground.
Et omne virgultum agri antequam oriretur in terra, omnemque herbam regionis priusquam germinaret: non enim pluerat Dominus Deus super terram, et homo non erat qui operaretur terram:
6 But a mist went up from the earth, and moistened the whole surface of the ground.
Sed fons ascendebat e terra, irrigans universam superficiem terrae.
7 And Jehovah Elohim formed Man, dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and Man became a living soul.
Formavit igitur Dominus Deus hominem de limo terrae, et inspiravit in faciem eius spiraculum vitae, et factus est homo in animam viventem.
8 And Jehovah Elohim planted a garden in Eden eastward, and there put Man whom he had formed.
Plantaverat autem Dominus Deus Paradisum voluptatis a principio: in quo posuit hominem quem formaverat.
9 And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; and the tree of life, in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Produxitque Dominus Deus de humo omne lignum pulchrum visu, et ad vescendum suave: lignum etiam vitae in medio paradisi, lignumque scientiae boni et mali.
10 And a river went out of Eden, to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four main streams.
Et fluvius egrediebatur de loco voluptatis ad irrigandum paradisum, qui inde dividitur in quattuor capita.
11 The name of the one is Pison: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Havilah, where the gold is.
Nomen uni Phison: ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Hevilath, ubi nascitur aurum:
12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and the onyx stone are there.
et aurum terrae illius optimum est: ibique invenitur bdellium, et lapis onychinus.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Cush.
Et nomen fluvii secundi Gehon: ipse est qui circumit omnem terram Aethiopiae.
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which flows forward toward Asshur. And the fourth river, that is Euphrates.
Nomen vero fluminis tertii, Tigris: ipse vadit contra Assyrios. Fluvius autem quartus, ipse est Euphrates.
15 And Jehovah Elohim took Man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it and to guard it.
Tulit ergo Dominus Deus hominem, et posuit eum in paradisum voluptatis, ut operaretur, et custodiret illum:
16 And Jehovah Elohim commanded Man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt freely eat;
Praecepitque ei dicens: Ex omni ligno paradisi comede:
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt certainly die.
De ligno autem scientiae boni et mali ne comedas. in quocumque enim die comederis ex eo, morte morieris.
18 And Jehovah Elohim said, It is not good that Man should be alone; I will make him a helpmate, his like.
Dixit quoque Dominus Deus: Non est bonum esse hominem solum: faciamus ei adiutorium simile sibi.
19 And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim had formed every animal of the field and all fowl of the heavens, and brought [them] to Man, to see what he would call them; and whatever Man called each living soul, that was its name.
Formatis igitur, Dominus Deus, de humo cunctis animantibus terrae, et universis volatilibus caeli, adduxit ea ad Adam, ut videret quid vocaret ea: omne enim quod vocavit Adam animae viventis, ipsum est nomen eius.
20 And Man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but as for Adam, he found no helpmate, his like.
Appellavitque Adam nominibus suis cuncta animantia, et universa volatilia caeli, et omnes bestias terrae: Adae vero non inveniebatur adiutor similis eius.
21 And Jehovah Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon Man; and he slept. And he took one of his ribs and closed up flesh in its stead.
Immisit ergo Dominus Deus soporem in Adam: cumque obdormisset, tulit unam de costis eius, et replevit carnem pro ea.
22 And Jehovah Elohim built the rib that he had taken from Man into a woman; and brought her to Man.
Et aedificavit Dominus Deus costam, quam tulerat de Adam, in mulierem: et adduxit eam ad Adam.
23 And Man said, This time it is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh: this shall be called Woman, because this was taken out of a man.
Dixitque Adam: Hoc nunc, os ex ossibus meis, et caro de carne mea: haec vocabitur Virago, quoniam de viro sumpta est.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.
Quamobrem relinquet homo patrem suum, et matrem, et adhaerebit uxori suae: et erunt duo in carne una.
25 And they were both naked, Man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Erat autem uterque nudus, Adam scilicet et uxor eius: et non erubescebant.
