Genesis 2
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.
Igitur perfecti sunt cæli et terra, et omnis ornatus eorum.
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.
Complevitque Deus die septimo opus suum quod fecerat: et requievit die septimo ab universo opere quod patrarat.
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.
Et benedixit diei septimo, et sanctificavit illum, quia in ipso cessaverat ab omni opere suo quod creavit Deus ut faceret.
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.
Istæ sunt generationes cæli et terræ, quando creata sunt, in die quo fecit Dominus Deus cælum et terram,
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,
et omne virgultum agri antequam oriretur in terra, omnemque herbam regionis priusquam germinaret: non enim pluerat Dominus Deus super terram, et homo non erat qui operaretur terram:
6 but springs came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
sed fons ascendebat e terra, irrigans universam superficiem terræ.
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.
Formavit igitur Dominus Deus hominem de limo terræ, et inspiravit in faciem ejus spiraculum vitæ, et factus est homo in animam viventem.
8 And God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Plantaverat autem Dominus Deus paradisum voluptatis a principio, in quo posuit hominem quem formaverat.
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.
Produxitque Dominus Deus de humo omne lignum pulchrum visu, et ad vescendum suave lignum etiam vitæ in medio paradisi, lignumque scientiæ boni et mali.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it separated and became the source of four rivers.
Et fluvius egrediebatur de loco voluptatis ad irrigandum paradisum, qui inde dividitur in quatuor capita.
11 The name of the first is Pishon; this is the one which goes around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
Nomen uni Phison: ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Hevilath, ubi nascitur aurum:
12 and the gold of that land is good. There is aromatic resin and the onyx stone.
et aurum terræ illius optimum est; ibi invenitur bdellium, et lapis onychinus.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon; it goes around the whole land of Cush.
Et nomen fluvii secundi Gehon; ipse est qui circumit omnem terram Æthiopiæ.
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.
Nomen vero fluminis tertii, Tigris: ipse vadit contra Assyrios. Fluvius autem quartus, ipse est Euphrates.
15 And God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and take care of it.
Tulit ergo Dominus Deus hominem, et posuit eum in paradiso voluptatis, ut operaretur, et custodiret illum:
16 And God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
præcepitque ei, dicens: Ex omni ligno paradisi comede;
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."
de ligno autem scientiæ boni et mali ne comedas: in quocumque enim die comederis ex eo, morte morieris.
18 And God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."
Dixit quoque Dominus Deus: Non est bonum esse hominem solum: faciamus ei adjutorium simile sibi.
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.
Formatis igitur Dominus Deus de humo cunctis animantibus terræ, et universis volatilibus cæli, adduxit ea ad Adam, ut videret quid vocaret ea: omne enim quod vocavit Adam animæ viventis, ipsum est nomen ejus.
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.
Appellavitque Adam nominibus suis cuncta animantia, et universa volatilia cæli, et omnes bestias terræ: Adæ vero non inveniebatur adjutor similis ejus.
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.
Immisit ergo Dominus Deus soporem in Adam: cumque obdormisset, tulit unam de costis ejus, et replevit carnem pro ea.
22 And the rib that God had taken from the man he fashioned into a woman and brought her to the man.
Et ædificavit Dominus Deus costam, quam tulerat de Adam, in mulierem: et adduxit eam ad Adam.
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."
Dixitque Adam: Hoc nunc os ex ossibus meis, et caro de carne mea: hæc vocabitur Virago, quoniam de viro sumpta est.
24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
Quam ob rem relinquet homo patrem suum, et matrem, et adhærebit uxori suæ: et erunt duo in carne una.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Erat autem uterque nudus, Adam scilicet et uxor ejus: et non erubescebant.
