< Genesis 2 >

1 And the heavens and the earth and all their host were finished.
Naizvozvo matenga nenyika zvakapera mukushongedzwa kukuru kwazvo kwose.
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.
Pazuva rechinomwe Mwari akanga apedza basa raakanga achiita; saka pazuva rechinomwe akazorora pamabasa ake ose.
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.
Uye Mwari akaropafadza zuva rechinomwe akariita dzvene nokuti pazuva iro akazorora pabasa rose rokusika raakanga aita.
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,
Iyi ndiyo rondedzero yamatenga nenyika pazvakasikwa. Jehovha Mwari paakaita nyika namatenga,
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.
uye kwakanga kusati kwava namakwenzi esango panyika, uye miriwo yesango yakanga isati yamera, nokuti Jehovha Mwari akanga asati anayisa mvura panyika uye kwakanga kusina munhu wokuzorima panyika,
6 But a mist went up from the earth, and moistened the whole surface of the ground.
asi hova dzaibuda dzichibva pasi uye dzichinyorovesa pasi pose,
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.
Jehovha Mwari akaumba munhu kubva paguruva revhu uye akafemera mweya woupenyu mumhino dzake, uye munhu akava mupenyu.
8 And Jehovah Elohim planted a garden in Eden eastward, and there put Man whom he had formed.
Zvino Jehovha Mwari akanga adyara bindu kumabvazuva, muEdheni; uye akaisa munhu waakanga aumba imomo.
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.
Uye Jehovha Mwari akaita mhando dzose dzemiti kuti dzimere kubva muvhu, miti yaifadza meso uye yakanga yakanaka pakudya. Pakati pebindu pakanga pano muti woupenyu nomuti wokuziva zvakanaka nezvakaipa.
10 And a river went out of Eden, to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four main streams.
Rwizi rwaidiridza bindu rwaiyerera ruchibva muEdheni; kubva imomo rwakaparadzana rukava hova ina.
11 The name of the one is Pison: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Havilah, where the gold is.
Zita rerwokutanga ndiPishoni; runopoterera nomunyika yose yeHavhira, imomo mune goridhe.
12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and the onyx stone are there.
(Goridhe romunyika iyoyo rakanaka; uyewo dheriamu nebwe reonikisi zvirimo.)
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Cush.
Zita rorwizi rwechipiri ndiGihoni; runopoterera nomunyika yose yeEtiopia.
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.
Zita rorwizi rwechitatu ndiTigirisi; runoyerera ruchitevedza rutivi rwamabvazuva eAshuri. Uye rwizi rwechina ndiYufuratesi.
15 And Jehovah Elohim took Man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it and to guard it.
Jehovha Mwari akatora munhu akamuisa mubindu reEdheni kuti aririme nokurichengeta.
16 And Jehovah Elohim commanded Man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt freely eat;
Uye Jehovha Mwari akarayira munhu achiti, “Wakasununguka kuti udye zvinobva pamuti upi zvawo uri mubindu;
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.
asi haufaniri kudya zvinobva pamuti wokuziva zvakanaka nezvakaipa, nokuti pauchaudya uchafa zvirokwazvo.”
18 And Jehovah Elohim said, It is not good that Man should be alone; I will make him a helpmate, his like.
Jehovha Mwari akati, “Hazvina kunaka kuti munhu agare ari oga. Ndichamuitira mubatsiri akamukwanira.”
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.
Zvino Jehovha Mwari akanga aumba kubva muvhu, mhuka dzose dzesango neshiri dzose dzedenga. Akazviuyisa kumunhu kuti aone kuti achazvitumidza mazita api, uye chisikwa chipenyu chimwe nechimwe sezvachakatumidzwa nomunhu, ndiro rakava zita racho.
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.
Saka munhu akatumidza mazita kuzvipfuwo zvose, nokushiri dzose dzedenga nemhuka dzose dzesango. Asi kuna Adhamu kwakanga kusina kuwanikwa mubatsiri akamukwanira.
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.
Saka Jehovha Mwari akaita kuti munhu avate hope huru; uye paakanga achakavata, akatora rumwe rumbabvu rwomunhu akavhara nenyama nzvimbo yaakarubvisa.
22 And Jehovah Elohim built the rib that he had taken from Man into a woman; and brought her to Man.
Ipapo Jehovha Mwari akaita mukadzi kubva parumbabvu rwaakanga abvisa pamunhu, uye akamuuyisa kumurume.
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.
Murume akati, “Zvino uyu ibvupa ramapfupa angu nenyama yenyama yangu; achanzi ‘mukadzi’, nokuti akatorwa kubva pamurume.”
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.
Nokuda kwechikonzero ichi, murume achasiya baba namai vake agonamatira kumukadzi wake, uye vachava nyama imwe.
25 And they were both naked, Man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Murume nomukadzi wake vakanga vasina kusimira vose, uye havana kutongonyara.
