< Genesis 2 >

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.
Igũrũ na thĩ ikĩrĩka na ũgemu wacio wothe.
2 And on the sixth day God finished his works which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his works which he had made.
Naguo mũthenya wa mũgwanja wakinya, Ngai agĩkorwo arĩkĩtie wĩra ũcio aarutaga; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai akĩhurũka mũthenya ũcio wa mũgwanja kuuma wĩra-inĩ wake wothe.
3 So God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested on it from all his works which God had created and made.
Nake Ngai akĩrathima mũthenya ũcio wa mũgwanja na akĩwamũra, tondũ nĩ mũthenya ũrĩa we aahurũkire kuuma wĩra-inĩ wothe ũrĩa aarutĩte wa ũũmbi.
4 This is the account of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, at the time when God made the earth and the heavens.
Ũcio nĩguo ũhoro ũrĩa wĩgiĩ igũrũ na thĩ rĩrĩa ciombirwo. Rĩrĩa Jehova Ngai ombire thĩ na igũrũ-rĩ,
5 Now no bush of the field was yet in the land, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted; for God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there were no people to cultivate the ground,
gũtiarĩ kahinga o na kamwe ga gĩthaka koonekete thĩ kana mũmera wa gĩthaka ũkamera. Nĩ tondũ Jehova Ngai ndoirĩtie mbura thĩ na gũtiarĩ mũndũ wa kũrĩma mũgũnda,
6 but springs came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
no tũrũũĩ twoimaga na thĩ na tũkaihũgia thĩ igũrũ guothe.
7 And God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
Nake Jehova Ngai akĩũmba mũndũ kuuma rũkũngũ-inĩ rwa thĩ, na akĩmũhuhĩra mĩhũmũ ya muoyo maniũrũ-inĩ make, nake mũndũ ũcio akĩgĩa na muoyo.
8 And God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Ningĩ Jehova Ngai nĩathondekete mũgũnda mwena wa irathĩro, o kũu Edeni; na kũu nĩkuo aigire mũndũ ũcio oombĩte.
9 And out of the ground God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Nake Jehova Ngai agĩtũma thĩ ĩmere mĩtĩ ya mĩthemba yothe na ĩkũre. Yarĩ mĩtĩ mĩega ĩkĩoneka na maitho na yaciaraga matunda mega ma kũrĩa. Gatagatĩ ka mũgũnda ũcio nĩ haarĩ na mũtĩ wa muoyo, na mũtĩ wa ũmenyo wa gũkũũrana wega na ũũru.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it separated and became the source of four rivers.
Na nĩ kwarĩ rũũĩ rwathereraga ruumĩte Edeni rũkaihũgia mũgũnda ũcio; ruoima Edeni rũkagayũkana rũgatuĩka njũũĩ inya.
11 The name of the first is Pishon; this is the one which goes around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
Rũũĩ rwa mbere rwĩtagwo Pishoni; na nĩruo rũthiũrũrũkaga bũrũri wothe wa Havila, kũrĩa kũrĩ thahabu.
12 and the gold of that land is good. There is aromatic resin and the onyx stone.
(Thahabu ya bũrũri ũcio nĩ njega; ningĩ kũu no kũrĩ maguta manungi wega metagwo bendora, na tũhiga twa goro twĩtagwo onigithi.)
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon; it goes around the whole land of Cush.
Rũũĩ rwa keerĩ rwĩtagwo Gihoni; naruo rũthiũrũrũkaga bũrũri wothe wa Kushi.
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel; this is the one which flows east of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Perath.
Rũũĩ rwa gatatũ rwĩtagwo Hidekela naruo rũgeragĩra mwena wa irathĩro wa bũrũri wa Ashuri. Naruo rũũĩ rwa kana rwĩtagwo Farati.
15 And God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and take care of it.
Jehova Ngai akĩoya mũndũ ũcio oombĩte, akĩmũiga mũgũnda-inĩ ũcio wa Edeni aũrĩmage na aũmenyagĩrĩre.
16 And God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
Nake Jehova Ngai agĩatha mũndũ ũcio, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “No ũrĩe maciaro ma mũtĩ o wothe ũrĩ mũgũnda ũyũ;
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die."
no rĩrĩ, ndũkanarĩe maciaro ma mũtĩ ũrĩa wa ũmenyo wa gũkũũrana wega na ũũru, nĩgũkorwo rĩrĩa ũkaamarĩa, ti-itherũ no gũkua ũgaakua.”
18 And God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."
Ningĩ Jehova Ngai akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti wega mũndũ ũyũ aikare arĩ wiki. Nĩngũmũmbĩra mũteithia ũrĩa ũmwagĩrĩire.”
19 And out of the ground God formed every tame animal, and every wild animal, and every flying creature of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
Na rĩrĩ, Jehova Ngai nĩ oombĩte nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ kuuma tĩĩri-inĩ. Agĩcirehe kũrĩ mũndũ ũcio one marĩĩtwa marĩa egũcitua; na ũrĩa mũndũ ũcio aatuire kĩũmbe o gĩothe kĩ muoyo, rĩu rĩgĩtuĩka rĩĩtwa rĩakĩo.
20 And the man gave names to all the tame animals, and to all the flying creatures of the sky, and to every wild animal; but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ ũcio akĩhe mahiũ mothe marĩĩtwa, o na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ na nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka. No Adamu ndooneirwo mũteithia ũmwagĩrĩire.
21 So God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh at that place.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova Ngai agĩtũma mũndũ ũcio akome toro mũnene mũno; na rĩrĩa aakomete, Jehova Ngai akĩruta rũbaru rũmwe rwa mũndũ ũcio na agĩcookia nyama hau rwarĩ.
22 And the rib that God had taken from the man he fashioned into a woman and brought her to the man.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova Ngai akĩũmba mũndũ-wa-nja kuuma rũbaru rũrĩa aarutĩte kũrĩ mũndũ ũcio na akĩrehe mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio kũrĩ we.
23 And the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because this one was taken out of Man."
Mũndũ ũcio akiuga atĩrĩ, “Hĩ! Rĩu-rĩ, rĩĩrĩ nĩ ihĩndĩ kuuma mahĩndĩ makwa, na nyama cia mwĩrĩ wakwa. Arĩĩtagwo mũndũ-wa-nja, tondũ aarutirwo kuuma kũrĩ mũndũ mũrũme.”
24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo gĩtũmaga mũndũ mũrũme atige ithe na nyina, na anyiitane na mũtumia wake, nao magatuĩka mwĩrĩ ũmwe.
25 And They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Acio eerĩ, mũndũ ũcio na mũtumia wake, maarĩ njaga, na matiaconokaga.
