Genesis 2
1 Thus the heauens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Kwa hiyo mbingu na dunia zikakamilika, pamoja na vyote vilivyomo.
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.
Katika siku ya saba Mungu alikuwa amekamilisha kazi aliyokuwa akiifanya, hivyo siku ya saba akapumzika kutoka kazi zake zote.
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.
Mungu akaibariki siku ya saba akaifanya takatifu, kwa sababu katika siku hiyo alipumzika kutoka kazi zote za kuumba alizokuwa amefanya.
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,
Haya ndiyo maelezo ya mbingu na dunia wakati zilipoumbwa. Bwana Mungu alipoziumba mbingu na dunia,
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,
hapakuwepo na mche wa shambani uliokuwa umejitokeza ardhini, wala hapakuwepo na mmea wa shamba uliokuwa umeota, kwa kuwa Bwana Mungu alikuwa hajanyeshea mvua juu ya nchi, na hapakuwepo mtu wa kuilima ardhi,
6 But a myst went vp from the earth, and watered all the earth.
lakini umande ulitokeza kutoka ardhini na kunyesha uso wote wa nchi:
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.
Bwana Mungu alimuumba mtu kutoka mavumbi ya ardhi, akampulizia pumzi ya uhai puani mwake, naye mtu akawa kiumbe hai.
8 And the Lord God planted a garden Eastward in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had made.
Basi Bwana Mungu alikuwa ameotesha bustani upande wa mashariki, katika Edeni, huko akamweka huyo mtu aliyemuumba.
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.
Bwana Mungu akafanya aina zote za miti ziote kutoka ardhini, miti yenye kupendeza macho na mizuri kwa chakula. Katikati ya bustani ulikuwepo mti wa uzima na mti wa kujua mema na mabaya.
10 And out of Eden went a riuer to water the garden, and from thence it was deuided, and became into foure heads.
Mto wa kunyeshea bustani ulitiririka toka Edeni, kuanzia hapa ukagawanyika kuwa mito minne.
11 The name of one is Pishon: the same compasseth the whole land of Hauilah, where is golde.
Mto wa kwanza uliitwa Pishoni, nao huzunguka nchi yote ya Havila ambako kuna dhahabu.
12 And the golde of that land is good: there is Bdelium, and the Onix stone.
(Dhahabu ya nchi hiyo ni nzuri, bedola na vito shohamu pia hupatikana huko.)
13 And the name of the seconde riuer is Gihon: the same compasseth the whole lande of Cush.
Jina la mto wa pili ni Gihoni, ambao huzunguka nchi yote ya Kushi.
14 The name also of the third riuer is Hiddekel: this goeth toward the Eastside of Asshur: and the fourth riuer is Perath)
Jina la mto wa tatu ni Tigrisi, unaopita mashariki ya Ashuru. Mto wa nne ni Frati.
15 Then the Lord God tooke the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, that he might dresse it and keepe it.
Bwana Mungu akamchukua huyo mtu, akamweka kwenye Bustani ya Edeni ailime na kuitunza.
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Thou shalt eate freely of euery tree of the garden,
Bwana Mungu akamwagiza huyo mtu, akamwambia, “Uko huru kula matunda ya mti wowote katika bustani,
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.
lakini kamwe usile matunda ya mti wa kujua mema na mabaya, kwa maana siku utakapokula matunda yake, hakika utakufa.”
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.
Bwana Mungu akasema, “Si vyema huyu mtu awe peke yake. Nitamfanyia msaidizi wa kumfaa.”
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.
Basi Bwana Mungu alikuwa amefanyiza kutoka ardhi wanyama wote wa porini na ndege wote wa angani. Akawaleta kwa huyu mtu aone atawaitaje, nalo jina lolote alilokiita kila kiumbe hai, likawa ndilo jina lake.
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.
Hivyo Adamu akawapa majina wanyama wote wa kufugwa, ndege wa angani, na wanyama wote wa porini. Lakini kwa Adamu hakupatikana msaidizi wa kumfaa.
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.
Hivyo Bwana Mungu akamfanya Adamu kulala usingizi mzito, naye alipokuwa amelala akachukua moja ya mbavu zake, akapafunika mahali pale kwa nyama.
22 And the ribbe which the Lord God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her to the man.
Kisha Bwana Mungu akamfanya mwanamke kutoka kwenye ule ubavu aliouchukua kutoka kwa huyo mwanaume, akamleta huyo mwanamke kwa huyo mwanaume.
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.
Huyo mwanaume akasema, “Huyu sasa ni mfupa wa mifupa yangu na nyama ya nyama yangu, ataitwa ‘mwanamke,’ kwa kuwa alitolewa katika mwanaume.”
24 Therefore shall man leaue his father and his mother, and shall cleaue to his wife, and they shall be one flesh.
Kwa sababu hii mwanaume atamwacha baba yake na mama yake na kuambatana na mkewe, nao watakuwa mwili mmoja.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Adamu na mkewe wote wawili walikuwa uchi, wala hawakuona aibu.
