< Genesis 2 >

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.
Naʻe pehē ʻa hono ngaohi ʻo ʻosi ʻae langi mo e fonua, mo hona nāunau kotoa pē.
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.
Pea ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho kuo fakaʻosi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ʻene ngāue ʻaia naʻa ne fai; pea naʻe tutuku ia ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho, mei heʻene ngāue kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa ne fai.
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.
Pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho, mo ne fakatapui ia: koeʻuhi ko ia ia naʻa ne tutuku ai mei heʻene ngāue kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe fakatupu mo ngaohi ʻe he ʻOtua.
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.
Ko e tala fakahohoko eni ki he ngaohi ʻoe langi mo māmani, ʻi he ʻaho ʻaia naʻe fakatupu ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻa māmani pea mo e langi,
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,
Mo e ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ʻi he teʻeki ke tuʻu ia ʻi he kelekele, mo e ʻakau iiki kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, ʻi he teʻeki ai ke tupu: he naʻe teʻeki ke tuku ʻe he ʻOtua ha ʻuha ki he kelekele, pea naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ke ngoueʻi ʻae kelekele.
6 but springs came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
Ka naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae vaivao mei he fonua, ke fakaviviku ʻae funga kelekele kotoa pē.
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.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻae tangata mei he efu ʻoe kelekele, pea ne mānava ki hono avaʻi ihu ʻae mānava ʻoe moʻui; pea hoko ʻae tangata ko e laumālie moʻui.
8 And God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Pea naʻe tō ʻae ngoue ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki he potu hahake ʻi ʻIteni; pea ne tuku ki ai ʻae tangata ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi.
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.
Pea naʻe fakatupu ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua mei he kelekele ʻae ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoku matamatalelei, pea lelei ki he kai; mo e ʻakau ʻoe moʻui foki ʻi he loto ngoue, pea mo e ʻakau ʻoe ʻilo ʻoe lelei mo e kovi.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it separated and became the source of four rivers.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae vaitafe ʻi ʻIteni ke fakaviviku ʻae ngoue; pea ne mavahevahe ia mei ai ʻi he mangaʻivai ʻe fā.
11 The name of the first is Pishon; this is the one which goes around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
Ko e hingoa ʻoe ʻuluaki ko Pisoni: ko ia ia ʻoku takatakai ʻae fonua kotoa ko Havila, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae koula;
12 and the gold of that land is good. There is aromatic resin and the onyx stone.
Pea ʻoku lelei ʻae koula ʻoe fonua ko ia pea ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae mataʻitofe, mo e maka ko e onike.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon; it goes around the whole land of Cush.
Pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono ua ʻoe vaitafe ko Kihoni: ko ia ia ʻoku takatakai ʻae fonua kotoa ko Kusi.
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.
Pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono tolu ʻoe vaitafe ko Hitikeli: ko ia ia ʻoku tafe atu ki he hahake ʻo ʻAsilia. Pea ko hono fā ʻoe vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi.
15 And God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and take care of it.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻae tangata ʻone tuku ia ki he ngoue ko ʻIteni, ke tauhi mo leʻo ki ai.
16 And God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki he tangata, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ngofua ʻa hoʻo kai mei he ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoe ngoue,
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."
Ka ko e ʻakau ʻoe ʻilo ʻoe lelei mo e kovi, ʻe ʻikai te ke kai mei ai: he ko e ʻaho ko ia te ke kai ai, ko e moʻoni te ke mate.”
18 And God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."
Pea naʻe folofola ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻOku ʻikai lelei ke tokotaha pe ʻae tangata: te u ngaohi kiate ia ha tokoni ʻoku taau mo ia.”
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.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, mei he kelekele ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, mo e manu kotoa pē ʻoe ʻatā; pea ne ʻomi ia kia ʻAtama, ke vakai pe ko e hā te ne ui ʻakinautolu: pea ʻilonga ʻae hingoa naʻe ai ʻe ʻAtama ki he meʻa moʻui kotoa pē, ko hono hingoa ia.
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.
Pea naʻe fakahingoa ʻe ʻAtama ʻae fanga manu lalahi kotoa pē, mo e fanga manupuna ʻoe ʻatā, mo e fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe vao; ka naʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo kia ʻAtama ha tokoni naʻe taau mo ia.
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.
Pea naʻe tuku ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻae mohe maʻu kia ʻAtama, pea naʻa ne mohe: pea naʻa ne toʻo hono hui vakavaka ʻe taha, pea naʻe toe fakamaʻopoʻopo ʻa hono kakano.
22 And the rib that God had taken from the man he fashioned into a woman and brought her to the man.
Pea ko e hui vakavaka ʻaia naʻe toʻo ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua mei he tangata, naʻa ne ngaohi mei ai ʻae fefine, pea ʻomi ia ki he tangata.
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."
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAtama, “Ko e hui eni ʻo hoku ngaahi hui, mo e kakano ʻo hoku kakano: ʻe ui ia ‘ko e Fefine,’ koeʻuhi naʻe toʻo ia mei he Tangata.”
24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
Ko ia ʻe tukuange ai ʻe he tangata ʻa ʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻē, kae pikitai ki hono uaifi: pea te na kakano taha pe.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Pea naʻa na fakatou telefua, ʻae tangata mo hono uaifi, pea naʻe ʻikai te na mā ai.
