< Genesis 2 >

1 Thus were finished the heavens and the earth, and all their host.
Se te konsa syèl yo avèk tè a te fin fèt, avèk tout lame yo.
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.
Nan setyèm jou a, Bondye te fin fè travay ke Li te fè yo. Konsa, Li te repoze nan setyèm jou a sou tout travay ke Li te fè yo.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it; because thereon he had rested from all his work which God had created in making it.
Epi Bondye te beni setyèm jou a. Li te fè li sen, akoz nan li, Li te repoze de tout travay kreyasyon an, ke Li te fè a.
4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, on the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven.
Sa se listwa syèl yo avèk tè a lè yo te kreye, nan jou ke SENYÈ Bondye a e fè tè a avèk syèl la.
5 And every plant of the field was not yet on the earth, and every herb of the field had not yet grown; for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and man was not yet there to till the ground.
Alò potko gen ti bwa chan ki te parèt nan tè a, ni plant chan ki te boujonnen, paske Senyè Bondye a potko voye lapli sou tè a, e pa t gen moun pou kiltive tè a.
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
Men yon vapè te konn leve sòti nan tè a pou wouze tout sifas li.
7 And the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being.
Alò Senyè Bondye a te fòme lòm sòti nan pousyè tè a. Li te respire souf lavi fè l vin antre nan nen l, e lòm te devni yon nanm vivan.
8 And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden to the eastward, and he put there the man whom he had formed.
Senyè Bondye a te plante yon jaden nan pati lès Eden, e se la Li te mete lòm ke Li te fòme a.
9 And the Lord God caused to grow out of the ground every tree 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.
Soti nan tè a, SENYÈ Bondye a te fè grandi chak ab ki bèl pou gade e ki bon pou manje. Avèk yo nan mitan jaden a te gen ab lavi a, ak ab konesans a sa ki bon ak sa ki mal la.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it was parted, and became four principal streams.
Alò, yon rivyè te sòti nan Eden pou wouze jaden an. Epi soti la, li te divize ou fè kat rivyè.
11 The name of the first is Pishon, the same which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
Premye rivyè a rele Pischon; li pase antoure tout peyi Havila, kote ki gen lò a.
12 And the gold of that land is good; there is the bdellium and the onyx stone.
Lò peyi sa a bon; wòch bdelyèm avèk onyx konn twouve la.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon, the same which compasseth the whole land of Cush.
Dezyèm rivyè a rele Guihon; li kouri antoure peyi Cush la.
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel, the same which floweth towards the east of Assyria; and the fourth river is the Euphrates.
Yo rele twazyèm rivyè Tigrès; li koule nan lès Assyrie. Epi katriyèm rivyè a se Euphrate.
15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it, and to keep it.
Alò, Senyè Bondye a te pran lòm nan; Li te mete l nan jaden Eden pou kiltive li e pran swen li.
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat;
Senyè Bondye a te kòmande lòm nan. Li te di l: “Nan nenpòt sa nan jaden an, ou kapab manje,
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for on the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
men sou ab konesans bon avèk mal la, ou pa pou manje li, paske nan jou ke ou manje li, ou va mouri.”
18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help suitable for him.
Alò, Senyè Bondye a te di: “Sa pa bon pou lòm nan rete sèl. Mwen va fè yon asistan jan li dwe genyen”.
19 And the Lord God had formed out of the ground every beast of the field, and every fowl of the heaven, and he brought them unto the man to see what he would call them; and whatsoever the man would call every living creature, that should be its name.
Sòti nan tè a, Senyè Bondye a te fòme chak bèt chan ak chak zwazo syèl la, e Li te mennen yo kote lòm po wè kòman li ta rele yo. Nenpòt jan li te rele yon kreyati vivan, sa te vin non li.
20 And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the heaven, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was not found a help suitable for him.
Lòm nan te bay non a tout bèt domestik yo, a tout zwazo syèl yo, e a chak bèt chan, men pou lòm nan, pa t gen yon asistan sanblab ak li.
21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof.
Alò, Senyè Bondye a te fè yon Pwofon somèy pran lòm nan, e li te dòmi. Konsa, li te pran youn nan zo kòt li yo, e te fèmen chè a nan plas li.
22 And the Lord God formed the rib which he had taken from the man into a woman, and brought her unto the man.
Senyè Bondye a te fòme yon fanm avèk kòt ke Li te pran nan lòm nan, e Li te pote li bay li.
23 And the man said, This time it is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; this shall be called Woman, [[Ishah, ]] because out of Man [[Ishi]] was this one taken.
Lòm nan te di: “Koulye a sa se zo a zo mwen, e chè a chè mwen. Li va rele fanm akoz li te retire nan lòm.
24 Therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave unto his wife, and they become one flesh.
“Pou rezon sila a, yon nonm va kite papa li avèk manman li, pou vin jwenn avèk madanm li, epi yo va vin tounen yon sèl chè.”
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Epi lòm nan avèk fanm nan te toutouni, e yo pa t wont.
