Genesis 2
1 Thus the heauens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Således fuldendtes Himmelen og Jorden med al deres Hær.
2 For in the seuenth day GOD ended his worke which he had made, and the seuenth day he rested from al his worke, which he had made.
På den syvende Dag fuldendte Gud det Værk, han havde udført, og han hvilede på den syvende Dag efter det Værk, han havde udført;
3 So God blessed the seuenth day, and sanctified it, because that in it he had rested from all his worke, which God had created and made.
og Gud velsignede den syvende Dag og helligede den, thi på den hvilede han efter hele sit Værk, det, Gud havde skabt og udført.
4 These are the generations of the heauens and of the earth, when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heauens,
Det er Himmelens og Jordens Skabelseshistorie. Da Gud HERREN gjorde Jord og Himmel
5 And euery plant of the fielde, before it was in the earth, and euery herbe of the field, before it grewe: for the Lord God had not caused it to raine vpon the earth, neither was there a man to till the ground,
dengang fandtes endnu ingen af Markens Buske på Jorden, og endnu var ingen af Markens Urter spiret frem, thi Gud HERREN havde ikke ladet det regne på Jorden, og der var ingen Mennesker til at dyrke Agerjorden,
6 But a myst went vp from the earth, and watered all the earth.
men en Tåge vældede op at Jorden og vandede hele Agerjordens Flade
7 The Lord God also made the man of the dust of the grounde, and breathed in his face breath of life, and the man was a liuing soule.
da dannede Gud HERREN Mennesket af Agerjordens Muld og blæste Livsånde i hans Næsebor, så at Mennesket blev et levende Væsen.
8 And the Lord God planted a garden Eastward in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had made.
Derpå plantede Gud HERREN en Have i Eden ude mod Øst, og dem satte han Mennesket, som han havde dannet;
9 (For out of the ground made the Lord God to grow euery tree pleasant to the sight, and good for meate: the tree of life also in the mids of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and of euill.
Og Gud HERREN lod af Agerjorden fremvokse alle Slags Træer, en Fryd at skue og gode til Føde, desuden Livets Træ, der stod midt i Haven. og Træet til Kundskab om godt og ondt.
10 And out of Eden went a riuer to water the garden, and from thence it was deuided, and became into foure heads.
Der udsprang en Flod i Eden til at vande Haven, og udenfor delte den sig i fire Hovedstrømme.
11 The name of one is Pishon: the same compasseth the whole land of Hauilah, where is golde.
Den ene hedder Pisjon; den løber omkring Landet Havila, hvor der findes Guld
12 And the golde of that land is good: there is Bdelium, and the Onix stone.
og Guldet i det Land er godt, Bdellium og Sjohamsten.
13 And the name of the seconde riuer is Gihon: the same compasseth the whole lande of Cush.
Den anden Flod hedder Gihon; den løber omkring Landet Kusj.
14 The name also of the third riuer is Hiddekel: this goeth toward the Eastside of Asshur: and the fourth riuer is Perath)
Den tredje Flod hedder Hiddekel; den løber østen om Assyrien. Den fjerde Flod er Frat.
15 Then the Lord God tooke the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, that he might dresse it and keepe it.
Derpå tog Gud HERREN Adam og satte ham i Edens Have til at dyrke og vogte den.
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Thou shalt eate freely of euery tree of the garden,
Men Gud HERREN bød Adam: "Af alle Træer i Haven har du Lov at spise,
17 But of the tree of knowledge of good and euill, thou shalt not eate of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt die the death.
kun af Træet til Kundskab om godt og ondt må du ikke spise; den Dag du spiser deraf, skal du visselig dø!"
18 Also the Lord God saide, It is not good that the man should be himself alone: I wil make him an helpe meete for him.
Derpå sagde Gud HERREN: "Det er ikke godt for Mennesket at være ene; jeg vil gøre ham en Medhjælp, som passer til ham!"
19 So the Lord God formed of the earth euery beast of the fielde, and euery foule of the heauen, and brought them vnto the man to see howe he would call them: for howsoeuer the man named the liuing creature, so was the name thereof.
Og Gud HERREN dannede af Agerjorden alle Markens Dyr og Himmelens Fugle og førte dem hen til Adam for at se, hvad han vilde kalde dem; thi hvad Adam kaldte de forskellige levende Væsener, det skulde være deres Navn.
20 The man therefore gaue names vnto all cattell, and to the foule of the heauen, and to euery beast of the fielde: but for Adam founde he not an helpe meete for him.
Adam gav da alt Kvæget, alle Himmelens Fugle og alle Markens Dyr Navne - men til sig selv fandt Adam ingen Medhjælp, der passede til ham.
21 Therefore the Lord God caused an heauie sleepe to fall vpon the man, and he slept: and he tooke one of his ribbes, and closed vp the flesh in steade thereof.
Så lod Gud HERREN Dvale falde over Adam, og da han var sovet ind, tog han et af hans Ribben og lukkede med Kød i dets Sted;
22 And the ribbe which the Lord God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her to the man.
og af Ribbenet, som Gud HERREN havde taget af Adam, byggede han en Kvinde og førte hende hen til Adam.
23 Then the man said, This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shalbe called woman, because she was taken out of man.
Da sagde Adam: "Denne Gang er det Ben af mine Ben og Kød af mit Kød; hun skal kaldes Kvinde, thi af Manden er hun taget!"
24 Therefore shall man leaue his father and his mother, and shall cleaue to his wife, and they shall be one flesh.
Derfor forlader en Mand sin Fader og Moder og holder sig til sin Hustru, og de to bliver eet Kød.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Og de var begge nøgne, både Adam og hans Hustru, men de bluedes ikke.
