< Genesis 2 >

1 Thus the heauens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
igitur perfecti sunt caeli et terra et omnis ornatus eorum
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.
conplevitque Deus die septimo opus suum quod fecerat et requievit die septimo ab universo opere quod patrarat
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.
et benedixit diei septimo et sanctificavit illum quia in ipso cessaverat ab omni opere suo quod creavit Deus ut faceret
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,
istae generationes caeli et terrae quando creatae sunt in die quo fecit Dominus Deus caelum et terram
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,
et omne virgultum agri antequam oreretur in terra omnemque herbam regionis priusquam germinaret non enim pluerat Dominus Deus super terram et homo non erat qui operaretur terram
6 But a myst went vp from the earth, and watered all the earth.
sed fons ascendebat e terra inrigans universam superficiem terrae
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.
formavit igitur Dominus Deus hominem de limo terrae et inspiravit in faciem eius spiraculum vitae et factus est homo in animam viventem
8 And the Lord God planted a garden Eastward in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had made.
plantaverat autem Dominus Deus paradisum voluptatis a principio in quo posuit hominem quem formaverat
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.
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 out of Eden went a riuer to water the garden, and from thence it was deuided, and became into foure heads.
et fluvius egrediebatur de loco voluptatis ad inrigandum paradisum qui inde dividitur in quattuor capita
11 The name of one is Pishon: the same compasseth the whole land of Hauilah, where is golde.
nomen uni Phison ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Evilat ubi nascitur aurum
12 And the golde of that land is good: there is Bdelium, and the Onix stone.
et aurum terrae illius optimum est ibique invenitur bdellium et lapis onychinus
13 And the name of the seconde riuer is Gihon: the same compasseth the whole lande of Cush.
et nomen fluvio secundo Geon ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Aethiopiae
14 The name also of the third riuer is Hiddekel: this goeth toward the Eastside of Asshur: and the fourth riuer is Perath)
nomen vero fluminis tertii Tigris ipse vadit contra Assyrios fluvius autem quartus ipse est Eufrates
15 Then the Lord God tooke the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, that he might dresse it and keepe it.
tulit ergo Dominus Deus hominem et posuit eum in paradiso voluptatis ut operaretur et custodiret illum
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Thou shalt eate freely of euery tree of the garden,
praecepitque ei dicens ex omni ligno paradisi comede
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.
de ligno autem scientiae boni et mali ne comedas in quocumque enim die comederis ex eo morte morieris
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.
dixit quoque Dominus Deus non est bonum esse hominem solum faciamus ei adiutorium similem sui
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.
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 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.
appellavitque Adam nominibus suis cuncta animantia et universa volatilia caeli et omnes bestias terrae Adam vero non inveniebatur adiutor similis eius
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.
inmisit ergo Dominus Deus soporem in Adam cumque obdormisset tulit unam de costis eius et replevit carnem pro ea
22 And the ribbe which the Lord God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her to the man.
et aedificavit Dominus Deus costam quam tulerat de Adam in mulierem et adduxit eam ad 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.
dixitque Adam hoc nunc os ex ossibus meis et caro de carne mea haec vocabitur virago quoniam de viro sumpta est
24 Therefore shall man leaue his father and his mother, and shall cleaue to his wife, and they shall be one flesh.
quam ob rem relinquet homo patrem suum et matrem et adherebit uxori suae et erunt duo in carne una
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
erant autem uterque nudi Adam scilicet et uxor eius et non erubescebant
