< Genesis 2 >

1 And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;
فَأُكْمِلَتِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَكُلُّ جُنْدِهَا.١
2 and God completes by the seventh day His work which He has made, and ceases by the seventh day from all His work which He has made.
وَفَرَغَ ٱللهُ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ. فَٱسْتَرَاحَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ عَمَلِهِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ.٢
3 And God blesses the seventh day, and sanctifies it, for in it He has ceased from all His work which God had created for making.
وَبَارَكَ ٱللهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلسَّابِعَ وَقَدَّسَهُ، لِأَنَّهُ فِيهِ ٱسْتَرَاحَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ عَمَلِهِ ٱلَّذِي عَمِلَ ٱللهُ خَالِقًا.٣
4 These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth in their being created, in the day of YHWH God’s making the earth and the heavens;
هَذِهِ مَبَادِئُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ حِينَ خُلِقَتْ، يَوْمَ عَمِلَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ.٤
5 and no shrub of the field is yet in the earth, and no herb of the field yet sprouts, for YHWH God has not rained on the earth, and there is not a man to serve the ground,
كُلُّ شَجَرِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَعْدُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَكُلُّ عُشْبِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ لَمْ يَنْبُتْ بَعْدُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱلْإِلَهَ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ أَمْطَرَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَا كَانَ إِنْسَانٌ لِيَعْمَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ.٥
6 and a mist goes up from the earth, and has watered the whole face of the ground.
ثُمَّ كَانَ ضَبَابٌ يَطْلَعُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَسْقِي كُلَّ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.٦
7 And YHWH God forms the man—dust from the ground, and breathes into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becomes a living creature.
وَجَبَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ تُرَابًا مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَنَفَخَ فِي أَنْفِهِ نَسَمَةَ حَيَاةٍ. فَصَارَ آدَمُ نَفْسًا حَيَّةً.٧
8 And YHWH God plants a garden in Eden, at the east, and He sets there the man whom He has formed;
وَغَرَسَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ جَنَّةً فِي عَدْنٍ شَرْقًا، وَوَضَعَ هُنَاكَ آدَمَ ٱلَّذِي جَبَلَهُ.٨
9 and YHWH God causes to sprout from the ground every tree desirable for appearance, 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.
وَأَنْبَتَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلَّ شَجَرَةٍ شَهِيَّةٍ لِلنَّظَرِ وَجَيِّدَةٍ لِلْأَكْلِ، وَشَجَرَةَ ٱلْحَيَاةِ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ، وَشَجَرَةَ مَعْرِفَةِ ٱلْخَيْرِ وَٱلشَّرِّ.٩
10 And a river is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from there it is parted, and has become four chief [rivers];
وَكَانَ نَهْرٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ عَدْنٍ لِيَسْقِيَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ، وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ يَنْقَسِمُ فَيَصِيرُ أَرْبَعَةَ رُؤُوسٍ:١٠
11 the name of the first [is] Pison, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Havilah where the gold [is],
اِسْمُ ٱلْوَاحِدِ فِيشُونُ، وَهُوَ ٱلْمُحِيطُ بِجَمِيعِ أَرْضِ ٱلْحَوِيلَةِ حَيْثُ ٱلذَّهَبُ.١١
12 and the gold of that land [is] good; the bdellium and the shoham stone [are] there;
وَذَهَبُ تِلْكَ ٱلْأَرْضِ جَيِّدٌ. هُنَاكَ ٱلْمُقْلُ وَحَجَرُ ٱلْجَزْعِ.١٢
13 and the name of the second river [is] Gihon, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Cush;
وَٱسْمُ ٱلنَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِى جِيحُونُ، وَهُوَ ٱلْمُحِيطُ بِجَمِيعِ أَرْضِ كُوشٍ.١٣
14 and the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel, it [is] that which is going east of Asshur; and the fourth river is the Euphrates.
وَٱسْمُ ٱلنَّهْرِ ٱلثَّالِثِ حِدَّاقِلُ، وَهُوَ ٱلْجَارِي شَرْقِيَّ أَشُّورَ. وَٱلنَّهْرُ ٱلرَّابِعُ ٱلْفُرَاتُ.١٤
15 And YHWH God takes the man, and causes him to rest in the Garden of Eden, to serve it and to keep it.
وَأَخَذَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ وَوَضَعَهُ فِي جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ لِيَعْمَلَهَا وَيَحْفَظَهَا.١٥
16 And YHWH God lays a charge on the man, saying, “From every tree of the garden eating you eat;
وَأَوْصَى ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ آدَمَ قَائِلًا: «مِنْ جَمِيعِ شَجَرِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ تَأْكُلُ أَكْلًا،١٦
17 but from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, you do not eat from it, for in the day of your eating from it—dying you die.”
وَأَمَّا شَجَرَةُ مَعْرِفَةِ ٱلْخَيْرِ وَٱلشَّرِّ فَلَا تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا، لِأَنَّكَ يَوْمَ تَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ».١٧
18 And YHWH God says, “[It is] not good for the man to be alone; I make him a helper as his counterpart.”
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ: «لَيْسَ جَيِّدًا أَنْ يَكُونَ آدَمُ وَحْدَهُ، فَأَصْنَعَ لَهُ مُعِينًا نَظِيرَهُ».١٨
19 And YHWH God forms from the ground every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens, and brings [them] to the man, to see what he calls it; and whatever the man calls a living creature, that [is] its name.
وَجَبَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلَّ حَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَكُلَّ طُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، فَأَحْضَرَهَا إِلَى آدَمَ لِيَرَى مَاذَا يَدْعُوهَا، وَكُلُّ مَا دَعَا بِهِ آدَمُ ذَاتَ نَفْسٍ حَيَّةٍ فَهُوَ ٱسْمُهَا.١٩
20 And the man calls names to all the livestock, and to bird of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but for man a helper has not been found as his counterpart.
فَدَعَا آدَمُ بِأَسْمَاءٍ جَمِيعَ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ وَطُيُورَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَجَمِيعَ حَيَوَانَاتِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. وَأَمَّا لِنَفْسِهِ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ مُعِينًا نَظِيرَهُ.٢٠
21 And YHWH God causes a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he sleeps, and He takes one of his ribs, and closes up flesh in its stead.
فَأَوْقَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ سُبَاتًا عَلَى آدَمَ فَنَامَ، فَأَخَذَ وَاحِدَةً مِنْ أَضْلَاعِهِ وَمَلَأَ مَكَانَهَا لَحْمًا.٢١
22 And YHWH God builds up the rib which He has taken out of the man into a woman, and brings her to the man;
وَبَنَى ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلضِّلْعَ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذَهَا مِنْ آدَمَ ٱمْرَأَةً وَأَحْضَرَهَا إِلَى آدَمَ.٢٢
23 and the man says, “This at last! Bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!” For this is called Woman, for this has been taken from Man;
فَقَالَ آدَمُ: «هَذِهِ ٱلْآنَ عَظْمٌ مِنْ عِظَامِي وَلَحْمٌ مِنْ لَحْمِي. هَذِهِ تُدْعَى ٱمْرَأَةً لِأَنَّهَا مِنِ ٱمْرِءٍ أُخِذَتْ».٢٣
24 therefore a man leaves his father and his mother, and has cleaved to his wife, and they have become one flesh.
لِذَلِكَ يَتْرُكُ ٱلرَّجُلُ أَبَاهُ وَأُمَّهُ وَيَلْتَصِقُ بِٱمْرَأَتِهِ وَيَكُونَانِ جَسَدًا وَاحِدًا.٢٤
25 And both of them are naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
وَكَانَا كِلَاهُمَا عُرْيَانَيْنِ، آدَمُ وَٱمْرَأَتُهُ، وَهُمَا لَا يَخْجَلَانِ.٢٥
