Genesis 2
1 The creation of the heavens, the earth, and everything in them was complete.
Tako bude dovršeno nebo i zemlja sa svom svojom vojskom.
2 By the time the seventh day came, God had finished the work he'd done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work he'd been doing.
I sedmoga dana Bog dovrši svoje djelo koje učini. I počinu u sedmi dan od svega djela koje učini.
3 God blessed the seventh day, and set it apart as holy, because he rested from all the work he'd done in creation.
I blagoslovi Bog sedmi dan i posveti, jer u taj dan počinu od svega djela svoga koje učini.
4 This is the account of the Lord God's creation when he made the heavens and the earth.
To je postanak neba i zemlje, tako su stvarani. Kad je Jahve, Bog, sazdao nebo i zemlju,
5 Up to this point there were no wild plants or crops growing on the earth, because the Lord God hadn't sent rain, and there was no one to cultivate the ground.
još nije bilo nikakva poljskoga grmlja po zemlji, još ne bijaše niklo nikakvo poljsko bilje, jer Jahve, Bog, još ne pusti dažda na zemlju i nije bilo čovjeka da zemlju obrađuje.
6 Dew came up from the earth and made the whole surface of the ground wet.
Ipak, voda je izvirala iz zemlje i natapala svu površinu zemaljsku.
7 The Lord God shaped the man Adam from the dust of the ground. He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and Adam became a living being.
Jahve, Bog, napravi čovjeka od praha zemaljskog i u nosnice mu udahne dah života. Tako postane čovjek živa duša.
8 The Lord planted a garden in Eden, in the east. There he put the man Adam he had created.
I Jahve, Bog, zasadi vrt na istoku, u Edenu, i u nj smjesti čovjeka koga je napravio.
9 The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow in the garden, beautiful trees and trees producing fruit that's good to eat. The tree of life was in the middle of the garden, along with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Tada Jahve, Bog, učini te iz zemlje nikoše svakovrsna stabla - pogledu zamamljiva a dobra za hranu - i stablo života, nasred vrta, i stablo spoznaje dobra i zla.
10 A river flowed out from Eden to water the garden. From there it split into four branches.
Rijeka je izvirala iz Edena da bi natapala vrt; odatle se granala u četiri kraka.
11 The first branch was called the Pishon and it flowed through the whole land of Havilah, where gold is found.
Prvom je ime Pišon, a optječe svom zemljom havilskom, u kojoj ima zlata.
12 (The gold from that land is pure. Bdellium and onyx stone are also found there.)
Zlato je te zemlje dobro, a ima ondje i bdelija i oniksa.
13 The second branch was called the Gihon and it flowed through the whole land of Cush.
Drugoj je rijeci ime Gihon, a optječe svu zemlju Kuš.
14 The third branch was called the Tigris and it flowed east of the city of Asshur. The fourth branch was called the Euphrates.
Treća je rijeka Tigris, a teče na istok od Ašura; četvrta je Eufrat.
15 The Lord God put the man in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and care for it.
Jahve, Bog, uzme čovjeka i postavi ga u edenski vrt da ga obrađuje i čuva.
16 The Lord God ordered Adam, “You are free to eat fruit from every tree in the garden,
Jahve, Bog, zapovjedi čovjeku: “Sa svakoga stabla u vrtu slobodno jedi,
17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because the day you eat from it you are certain to die.”
ali sa stabla spoznaje dobra i zla da nisi jeo! U onaj dan u koji s njega okusiš, zacijelo ćeš umrijeti!”
18 Then the Lord God said, “It's not good for Adam to be alone. I will make someone to help him, someone that's like him.”
I reče Jahve, Bog: “Nije dobro da čovjek bude sam: načinit ću mu pomoć kao što je on.”
19 The Lord God used the ground to make all the wild animals, and all the birds. He took them all to Adam to see what he would call them, and Adam named every living creature.
Tada Jahve, Bog, načini od zemlje sve životinje u polju i sve ptice u zraku i predvede ih čovjeku da vidi kako će koju nazvati, pa kako koje stvorenje čovjek prozove, da mu tako bude ime.
20 Adam gave names to all the livestock, all the birds, and all the wild animals. But Adam didn't find anyone like him who could help him.
Čovjek nadjene imena svoj stoci, svim pticama u zraku i životinjama u polju. No čovjeku se ne nađe pomoć kao što je on.
21 So the Lord God put Adam into a deep sleep and as he slept the Lord God removed one of Adam's ribs and closed up the place where he took it with body tissue.
Tada Jahve, Bog, pusti tvrd san na čovjeka te on zaspa, pa mu izvadi jedno rebro, a mjesto zatvori mesom.
22 The Lord God made a woman, using the rib he'd taken from Adam, and presented her to Adam.
Od rebra što ga je uzeo čovjeku napravi Jahve, Bog, ženu pa je dovede čovjeku.
23 “Finally!” said Adam. “Here is bone from my bone and flesh from my flesh. She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man.”
Nato čovjek reče: “Gle, evo kosti od mojih kostiju, mesa od mesa mojega! Ženom neka se zove, od čovjeka kad je uzeta!”
24 This is the reason a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two become one being.
Stoga će čovjek ostaviti oca i majku da prione uza svoju ženu i bit će njih dvoje jedno tijelo.
25 Adam and his wife Eve were both naked, but they weren't embarrassed about it.
A bijahu oboje goli - čovjek i njegova žena - ali ne osjećahu stida.
