< Genesis 2 >

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.
Hottelah kalvan hoi talai, a thung kaawm e pueng teh koung a cum.
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.
Hahoi, a cum e thaw hah asari hnin dawk Cathut ni a pâpout. Hahoi, thaw pueng a cum dawkvah, asari hnin a kâhat.
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.
Hottelah, Cathut ni asari hnin hah yawhawi a poe teh a thoungsak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a sak e hnopueng koung a cum toung dawkvah, hote hnin dawk a kâhat.
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.
Hetenaw teh kalvan hoi talai a saknae hnin navah,
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,
talai dawk phokung pâw hoehnahlan, law dawk patue e hai a pâw hoehnahlan, BAWIPA Cathut ni talai van khorak sak hoeh rah. Talai dawk ka tawk hane tami hai awm hoeh rah.
6 but springs came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
Hatei, talai dawk hoi tui kahû a tâco sak teh, talai pueng a duk sak.
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.
Hahoi, BAWIPA Cathut ni talai dawk e vaiphu hoi tami a sak teh, hringnae kâha a hnawng dawk hoi a poe hnukkhu tami teh kahring e tami lah a kangcoung.
8 And God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Hahoi BAWIPA Cathut ni kanîtholah, Eden hmuen dawkvah, takha buet touh a sak teh, a sak e tami hah hawvah a hruek.
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.
Hote talai dawk a meikahawi niteh, cakawi thingkung aphunphun a pâw sak. Takha lungui vah, hringnae thingkung hoi thoe hoi hawi panuenae thingkung hai a pâw sak.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it separated and became the source of four rivers.
Takha kaduksak hanelah, Eden hoi tui buet touh a lawng teh, takha lawilah hoi pali touh lah a kampek teh tuisei pali touh lah a coung.
11 The name of the first is Pishon; this is the one which goes around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
Apasueke tui min teh Pishon. Sui onae Havilah ram pueng, kâkalup lah a lawng.
12 and the gold of that land is good. There is aromatic resin and the onyx stone.
Hote ram dawk e sui teh, ahawi. Hote hmuen koe Dellium hoi Onyx talung aphu kaawm e hai ao.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon; it goes around the whole land of Cush.
Apâhni e tui min teh Gihon. Kush ram kâkalup lah a lawng.
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.
Hahoi apâthum e tui min teh Khiddekel. Assiria ram kanîtholah a lawng teh, apali e tui min teh Euphrates.
15 And God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and take care of it.
BAWIPA Cathut ni tami a la teh, Eden takha dawk thaw tawk hane hoi khetyawt hanelah a hruek.
16 And God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
Hahoi, BAWIPA Cathut ni tami koe kâ a poe e teh, thoe hoi hawi panuenae thingkung hloilah, hote takha dawk kaawm e thingpaw pueng teh, na ca thai.
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."
Hatei, thoe hoi hawi panuenae thingpaw teh na cat mahoeh. Na cat pawiteh, na ca hnin na due roeroe han atipouh.
18 And God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."
Hahoi, BAWIPA Cathut ni tongpa teh amadueng ao e hawihoeh a titeh, kabawmkung kahawi ka sak pouh han ati.
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.
BAWIPA Cathut ni talai a la teh, talai van e saring pueng hoi kalvan e tava pueng a sak hnukkhu, min phung hanelah, Adam koe a thokhai. Adam ni hai a thokhai e saring pueng min a phung e patetlah min lengkaleng a tawn awh.
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.
Hottelah, saringpueng, kalvan e tava pueng, moithang pueng Adam ni min a phung. Hatei, Adam kabawmkung kahawi awm hoeh rah.
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.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA Cathut ni Adam mat a i sak teh, a i lahun nah a nâhru buet touh a rayu pouh teh, a tak hoi bout a pâbing pouh.
22 And the rib that God had taken from the man he fashioned into a woman and brought her to the man.
Hahoi, BAWIPA Cathut ni tongpa dawk hoi a rayu e a nâhru hoi napui a sak teh, tongpa koe a thokhai.
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."
Hahoi, Adam ni hethateh, ka hru thung e ka hru, ka tak thung e ka tak doeh. Tongpa thung e rayu e lah ao dawkvah, napui telah phung hanelah ao ati.
24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
Hatdawkvah, tongpa ni manu hoi na pa a ceitakhai han. Hathnukkhu, a yu hoi a kâpahlawm vaiteh, takthai buet touh lah a coung han.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Tongpa hoi a yu teh, caici lah ao roi eiteh, kayanae tawn roi hoeh.
