Genesis 2
1 Thus were finished the heavens and the earth, and all their host.
Maka selesailah penciptaan seluruh alam semesta.
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.
Pada hari yang ketujuh Allah telah menyelesaikan pekerjaan-Nya itu, lalu Ia beristirahat.
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.
Maka diberkati-Nya hari yang ketujuh itu dan dijadikan-Nya hari yang khusus, karena pada hari itu Allah beristirahat setelah menyelesaikan pekerjaan-Nya.
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.
Itulah riwayat penciptaan alam semesta. Ketika TUHAN Allah membuat alam semesta,
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.
belum ada benih yang bertunas dan belum ada tanam-tanaman di bumi, karena TUHAN belum menurunkan hujan dan belum ada orang untuk mengerjakan tanah itu.
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
Tetapi air mulai merembes dari bawah dan membasahi permukaan bumi.
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.
Kemudian TUHAN Allah mengambil sedikit tanah, membentuknya menjadi seorang manusia, lalu menghembuskan napas yang memberi hidup ke dalam lubang hidungnya; maka hiduplah manusia itu.
8 And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden to the eastward, and he put there the man whom he had formed.
Selanjutnya TUHAN Allah membuat taman di Eden, di sebelah timur, dan ditempatkan-Nya di situ manusia yang sudah dibentuk-Nya itu.
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.
TUHAN Allah menumbuhkan segala macam pohon yang indah, yang menghasilkan buah-buahan yang baik. Di tengah-tengah taman tumbuhlah pohon yang memberi hidup, dan pohon yang memberi pengetahuan tentang yang baik dan yang jahat.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it was parted, and became four principal streams.
Sebuah sungai mengalir dari Eden, membasahi taman itu; dan di luar Eden sungai itu terbagi menjadi empat cabang.
11 The name of the first is Pishon, the same which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
Yang pertama bernama Pison; sungai itu mengalir mengelilingi tanah Hawila.
12 And the gold of that land is good; there is the bdellium and the onyx stone.
Di situ terdapat emas murni dan juga wangi-wangian yang sulit diperoleh, serta batu-batu permata.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon, the same which compasseth the whole land of Cush.
Sungai yang kedua bernama Gihon; airnya mengalir mengelilingi tanah Kus.
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.
Sungai yang ketiga bernama Tigris dan mengalir di sebelah timur Asyur. Sungai yang keempat bernama Efrat.
15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it, and to keep it.
Kemudian TUHAN Allah menempatkan manusia itu di taman Eden untuk mengerjakan dan memelihara taman itu.
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat;
TUHAN berkata kepada manusia itu, "Engkau boleh makan buah-buahan dari semua pohon di taman ini,
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.
kecuali dari pohon yang memberi pengetahuan tentang yang baik dan yang jahat. Buahnya tidak boleh engkau makan; jika engkau memakannya, engkau pasti akan mati pada hari itu juga."
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.
Lalu TUHAN Allah berkata, "Tidak baik manusia hidup sendirian. Aku akan membuat teman yang cocok untuk membantunya."
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.
Maka Ia mengambil sedikit tanah dan membentuk segala macam binatang darat dan binatang udara. Semuanya dibawa Allah kepada manusia itu untuk melihat nama apa yang akan diberikannya kepada binatang-binatang itu. Itulah asal mulanya binatang di darat dan di udara mendapat namanya masing-masing.
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.
Demikianlah manusia itu memberi nama kepada semua binatang di darat dan di udara. Tetapi tidak satu pun di antaranya bisa menjadi teman yang cocok untuk membantunya.
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.
Lalu TUHAN Allah membuat manusia tidur nyenyak, dan selagi ia tidur, TUHAN Allah mengeluarkan salah satu rusuk dari tubuh manusia itu, lalu menutup bekasnya dengan daging.
22 And the Lord God formed the rib which he had taken from the man into a woman, and brought her unto the man.
Dari rusuk itu TUHAN membentuk seorang perempuan, lalu membawanya kepada manusia itu.
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.
Maka berkatalah manusia itu, "Ini dia, orang yang sama dengan aku--tulang dari tulangku, dan daging dari dagingku. Kunamakan dia perempuan, karena ia diambil dari laki-laki."
24 Therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave unto his wife, and they become one flesh.
Itulah sebabnya orang laki-laki meninggalkan ayah dan ibunya, dan bersatu dengan istrinya, lalu keduanya menjadi satu.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Laki-laki dan perempuan itu telanjang, tetapi mereka tidak merasa malu.
