Genesis 2
1 And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;
Ale Mawu wu dziƒo kple anyigba kpakple nu siwo katã le xexea me la wɔwɔ nu.
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.
Eya ta le ŋkeke adrelia gbe, esi Mawu wu eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo nu la, edzudzɔ eɖokui tso eƒe dɔwɔnawo katã me.
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.
Mawu yra ŋkeke adrelia, eye wòwɔe kɔkɔe, elabena eyae nye ŋkeke si dzi wòdzudzɔ xexea me wɔwɔ le.
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;
Esiawoe nye dziƒo kple anyigba ƒe dzɔdzɔmenyawo, le wo wɔwɔ me le ɣeyiɣi si me Yehowa Mawu wɔ anyigba kple dziƒo.
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,
Do ŋgɔ la, atiwo kple gbewo memie ɖe anyigba dzi haɖe o, elabena Yehowa Mawu meɖo tsidzadza ɖa haɖe o, eye ame aɖeke hã menɔ anyi ade agble ɖe anyigba la dzi o.
6 and a mist goes up from the earth, and has watered the whole face of the ground.
Gake tsi dzi tso anyigba ƒe tume le teƒe aɖewo, eye wòtsa le anyigba la dzi.
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.
Azɔ Yehowa Mawu tsɔ anyi me amegbetɔ, eye wògbɔ agbegbɔgbɔ ɖe eƒe ŋɔtime, eye wòzu luʋɔ gbagbe.
8 And YHWH God plants a garden in Eden, at the east, and He sets there the man whom He has formed;
Esia megbe la, Yehowa Mawu wɔ abɔ aɖe ɖe Eden le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, eye wòtsɔ ame si wòwɔ la da ɖe abɔ la me.
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.
Yehowa Mawu do ati siwo nya kpɔna la ƒomeviwo katã ɖe abɔ la me. Ati siawo tsea ku viviwo. Agbeti kple ati si nana wodzea si nyui kple vɔ̃ la le abɔ la titina.
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];
Tɔsisi aɖe tso Eden ƒe anyigba dzi tsa to abɔ la me hede tsii. Tɔsisi la ma ɖe alɔdze ene me.
11 the name of the first [is] Pison, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Havilah where the gold [is],
Alɔdze gbãtɔ ŋkɔe nye Pison. Etsa to Havilanyigba blibo la dzi, afi si sika le.
12 and the gold of that land [is] good; the bdellium and the shoham stone [are] there;
(Sika la nyo ŋutɔ. Resin kple onikskpe hã le afi ma.)
13 and the name of the second river [is] Gihon, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Cush;
Alɔdze evelia ŋkɔe nye Gihon. Etsa to Kus ƒe anyigba blibo la dzi.
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.
Alɔdze etɔ̃lia ŋkɔe nye Tigris. Etsa to Asiria ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo. Alɔdze eneliae nye Frat tɔsisi la.
15 And YHWH God takes the man, and causes him to rest in the Garden of Eden, to serve it and to keep it.
Yehowa Mawu tsɔ ame la da ɖe Edenbɔ la me abe abɔdzikpɔla ene.
16 And YHWH God lays a charge on the man, saying, “From every tree of the garden eating you eat;
Yehowa Mawu de se na ame la be, “Èkpɔ mɔ aɖu ati sia ati le abɔ sia me,
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.”
gake mèkpɔ mɔ aɖu ati si nana wodzea si nyui kple vɔ̃ ya o, elabena ne èɖui la, ku kee nàku.”
18 And YHWH God says, “[It is] not good for the man to be alone; I make him a helper as his counterpart.”
Yehowa Mawu gblɔ be, “Menyo be ame la ɖeka ko nanɔ anyi o. Mawɔ kpeɖeŋutɔ si asɔ ɖe eŋu la nɛ.”
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.
Azɔ Yehowa Mawu tsɔ anyi wɔ gbemelãwo katã kple dziƒoxeviwo katã. Ekplɔ wo va ame la gbɔe be yeanya ŋkɔ si wòana ɖe sia ɖe, eye ale si ame la yɔ nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖee la zu ŋkɔ nɛ.
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.
Ale ame la na ŋkɔ nu gbagbeawo, aƒemelãwo, dziƒoxeviwo kple gbemelãwo katã. Ke amea ya mekpɔ kpeɖeŋutɔ si asɔ nɛ o.
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.
Tete Yehowa Mawu na ŋutsu la dɔ alɔ̃ yi eme ʋĩi. Emegbe la, eɖe ame la ƒe axaƒuti ɖeka, eye wòxe teƒe si wòɖee tsoe la.
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;
Yehowa Mawu tsɔ axaƒuti si wòɖe le amea me la wɔ nyɔnu, eye wòkplɔe va ame la gbɔ.
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;
Tete ame la do dzidzɔɣli be, “Ɛhɛ̃! Esiae nye ƒu tso nye ƒu me kple lã tso nye lãme. Woayɔe be ‘nyɔnu’, elabena ŋutsu me woɖee tsoe.”
24 therefore a man leaves his father and his mother, and has cleaved to his wife, and they have become one flesh.
Esia ta ŋutsu gblẽa fofoa kple dadaa ɖi, eye wòkuna ɖe srɔ̃a ŋu ale gbegbe be ame eveawo zua ame ɖeka.
25 And both of them are naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
Togbɔ be Adam kple srɔ̃a nɔ amama hã la, ŋu mekpea wo dometɔ aɖeke o.
