< Genesis 2 >

1 And the heaven and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Na ka oti te rangi me te whenua me o reira mano katoa.
2 And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
A no te whitu o nga ra i oti ai i te Atua tana mahi i mahi ai; na ka okioki ia i te ra whitu i ana mahi katoa i mahia e ia.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it: because that in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made.
Na ka whakapaingia e te Atua te ra whitu, whakatapua ana hoki e ia: mona i okioki i taua ra i ana mahi katoa i oti i te Atua te hanga.
4 These are the generations of the heaven and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made earth and heaven.
Ko nga whakatupuranga enei o te rangi, o te whenua, i te hanganga ai, i te ra i hanga ai e Ihowa, e te Atua, te whenua me te rangi.
5 And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground;
Kahore ano hoki tetahi rakau riki o te parae i te whenua, kahore ano tetahi otaota o te parae kia pihi noa: kahore hoki a Ihowa, te Atua, i mea kia ua ki te whenua, a kahore rawa he tangata hei mahi i te oneone;
6 but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
Engari i pupu ake he kohu i te whenua, na reira i whakamakuku te mata katoa o te oneone.
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Na ka whakaahuatia te tangata e Ihowa, e te Atua, he puehu no te oneone, a whakahangia ana e ia ki roto ki ona pongaihu te manawa ora; a ka wairua ora te tangata.
8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Na ka whakatokia e Ihowa, e te Atua, tetahi kari ki te taha ki te rawhiti, ki Erene; a whakanohoia iho e ia ki reira te tangata i hanga e ia.
9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
A i whakatupuria e Ihowa, e te Atua, i roto i te oneone nga rakau katoa he mea ahuareka ki te titiro, he pai hoki hei kai; ko te rakau hoki o te ora ki waenganui o te kari, me te rakau o te matauranga ki te pai, ki te kino.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four heads.
I rere mai ano he awa i Erene hei whakamakuku i te kari; a i reira ka manganga e wha nga tino awa.
11 The name of the first is Pishon: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
Ko te ingoa o te tuatahi ko Pihona; ko ia tera e taiawhio ra i te whenua katoa o Hawira, he koura kei reira;
12 and the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
He pai hoki te koura o taua whenua: kei reira te teriuma me te kohatu onika.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Cush.
Ko te ingoa o te rua o nga awa ko Kihona: ko ia tera e taiawhio ra i te whenua katoa o Etiopia.
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth in front of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
Ko te ingoa o te toru o nga awa ko Hirekere; ko te mea tera e rere ra i mua o Ahiria. Ko Uparati te wha o nga awa.
15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Na ka tango a Ihowa, te Atua, i te tangata, a whakanohoia ana e ia ki te kari o Erene, hei ngaki, hei tiaki hoki reira.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Na ka ako a Ihowa, te Atua, ki te tangata, ka mea, E pai ana kia kai noa atu koe i nga hua o nga rakau katoa o te kari:
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Ko te rakau ia o te matauranga ki te pai, ki te kino, kaua e kainga tetahi o ona hua; ko te ra e kai ai koe i tetahi o ona hua, ka mate koe, mate rawa.
18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Na ka mea a Ihowa, te Atua, E kore e pai kia noho te tangata ko ia anake; me hanga e ahau tetahi hoa pai mona.
19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
Na he mea whakaahua mai na Ihowa, na te Atua, i roto i te oneone nga kirehe katoa o te parae, me nga manu katoa o te rangi; a kawea mai ana e ia ki a Arama, kia kitea ai te ingoa e huaina e ia ki a ratou: a ko a Arama i hua ai ki nga mea ora kat oa, hei ingoa era mo ratou.
20 And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was not found an help meet for him.
Na ka huaina e Arama he ingoa mo nga kararehe katoa, mo nga manu o te rangi, mo nga kirehe katoa hoki o te parae; ko Arama ia kahore i kitea tetahi hoa pai mona.
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof:
Na ka mea a Ihowa, te Atua, kia parangia a Arama e te moe, a moe ana ia: na tangohia ana e ia tetahi o ona rara, a whakatutakina atu ana te kikokiko hei whakakapi mo reira;
22 and the rib, which the LORD God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
Na ka hanga a Ihowa, te Atua, i te rara i tangohia mai ra e ia i roto i a Arama hei wahine, a kawea ana e ia ki a Arama.
23 And the man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
A ka mea a Arama, Katahi ano ki tenei te wheua o roto o oku wheua, me te kikokiko o roto o oku kikokiko: me hua ia ko te Wahine, nona hoki i tangohia mai i roto i te Tangata.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
No konei te tangata ka whakarere i tona papa me tona whaea, a ka piri ki tana wahine: a hei kikokiko kotahi raua.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
A e tu tahanga ana raua tokorua, te tangata me tana wahine, kihai hoki i whakama.
