Genesis 2
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.
Maka selesailah penciptaan seluruh alam semesta.
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.
Pada hari yang ketujuh Allah telah menyelesaikan pekerjaan-Nya itu, lalu Ia beristirahat.
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.
Maka diberkati-Nya hari yang ketujuh itu dan dijadikan-Nya hari yang khusus, karena pada hari itu Allah beristirahat setelah menyelesaikan pekerjaan-Nya.
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.
Itulah riwayat penciptaan alam semesta. Ketika TUHAN Allah membuat alam semesta,
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,
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 springs came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
Tetapi air mulai merembes dari bawah dan membasahi permukaan bumi.
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.
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 God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put 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 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.
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 separated and became the source of four rivers.
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; this is the one which goes around 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 aromatic resin 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; it goes around 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; this is the one which flows east of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Perath.
Sungai yang ketiga bernama Tigris dan mengalir di sebelah timur Asyur. Sungai yang keempat bernama Efrat.
15 And God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and take care of it.
Kemudian TUHAN Allah menempatkan manusia itu di taman Eden untuk mengerjakan dan memelihara taman itu.
16 And God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may 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, you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat of it you will 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 God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."
Lalu TUHAN Allah berkata, "Tidak baik manusia hidup sendirian. Aku akan membuat teman yang cocok untuk membantunya."
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 rib that God had taken from the man he fashioned into a woman and brought her to the man.
Dari rusuk itu TUHAN membentuk seorang perempuan, lalu membawanya kepada manusia itu.
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."
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 a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and the two will 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.
