< Genesis 2 >
1 Thus were finished the heavens and the earth and all their host.
Otu a ka e si rụzuo ọrụ ike eluigwe na ụwa na ihe niile dị nʼime ha.
2 Thus God finished, on the seventh day his work which he had made, and rested, on the seventh day, from all his work which he had made.
Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, Chineke kwụsịrị ọrụ ya nke ọ na-arụ, o zukwara ike site nʼọrụ ya niile.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, —because therein, rested he from all his work which God, by creating, had made.
Chineke gọziri ụbọchị nke asaa ahụ mee ya ka ọ bụrụ ụbọchị dị nsọ, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼụbọchị ahụ ka ọ zuru ike site nʼọrụ nke ike ihe niile.
4 These are the geneses of the heavens and the earth when they were created, —in the day when Yahweh God made earth and heavens.
Nke a bụ akụkọ banyere usoro okike eluigwe na ụwa mgbe e kere ha, nʼụbọchị ahụ mgbe Onyenwe anyị Chineke kere eluigwe na ụwa.
5 Now, no bush of the field, as yet—was in the earth, and, no herb of the field, as yet had sprung up, —because Yahweh God had not sent rain on the earth, and, man, was there none to till the ground;
Ahịhịa ọbụla epupụtabeghị nʼọhịa, o nwekwaghị ihe ubi ọbụla sitere nʼala pupụta, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke ezitebeghị mmiri ozuzo nʼelu ụwa, o nwekwaghị mmadụ ọbụla nọ na-arụ ọrụ ubi,
6 but, a vapour, went up from the earth, —and watered all the face of the ground.
ma mmiri si nʼala na-asọpụta na-asọ nʼelu ala niile.
7 So then Yahweh God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed in his nostrils the breath of life—and man became a living soul.
Onyenwe anyị Chineke kpụrụ mmadụ site nʼaja nke ala, kunye ya ume ndụ nʼimi ya, nke mere ka mmadụ ghọọ ihe dị ndụ.
8 And Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden, on the east, —and put there the man whom he had formed.
Onyenwe anyị Chineke kụrụ ubi a gbara ogige nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, nʼIden. O tinyere mmadụ ahụ ọ kpụrụ nʼime ubi a.
9 And Yahweh God, caused to spring up, out of the ground, every tree pleasant to the sight and good for food, —and the tree of life, in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Onyenwe anyị Chineke mere ka osisi dị iche iche si nʼala pupụta, osisi ndị dị mma ile anya na nke dịkwa mma iri eri. Nʼetiti ogige a, e nwere osisi na-enye ndụ, na osisi nke ịmata ihe ọma na ihe ọjọọ.
10 Now, a river, was coming forth out of Eden, to water the garden, —and, from thence, it parted, and became four heads,
E nwere iyi si nʼIden na-asọpụta na-asọbanye nʼime ogige ahụ ime ka ala ahụ nwee mmiri. Site nʼebe ahụ, iyi a kewara nwee ngalaba anọ.
11 The name of the one, is Pishon, —the same, is that which surroundeth all the land of Havilah, where is gold;
Aha ngalaba nke mbụ bụ Paịshọn. Ọ sọọrọ ogologo gafee ala niile nke Havila, ebe a na-enweta ọlaedo.
12 moreover the gold of that land, is good, —there, is the bdellium, and the beryl stone,
(Ọlaedo dị nʼala ahụ mara mma. Eso osisi na-esi isi ụtọ na nkume dị oke ọnụahịa a na-akpọ ọniks dịkwa nʼebe ahụ.)
13 And the name of the second river, is Gihon, —the same, is that which surroundeth all the land of Cush,
Aha ngalaba nke abụọ bụ Gaihọn. O sitere nʼala Kush gafee.
14 And, the name of the third river, is Hiddekel, the same, is that which goeth in front of Assyria; and the fourth river, is Euphrates.
Aha osimiri nke atọ bụ Taịgris. Ọ na-asọla nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ nke ala Ashọ. Aha osimiri nke anọ bụ Yufretis.
15 So Yahweh God took the man, —and placed him in the garden of Eden, to till it and to keep it.
Onyenwe anyị Chineke weere mmadụ ahụ tinye ya nʼogige Iden, ka ọ na-akọ ya ma bụrụkwa onye na-elekọta ya.
16 And Yahweh God laid command on the man, saying, —Of every tree of the garden, thou mayest eat;
Onyenwe anyị Chineke nyere mmadụ ahụ iwu sị ya “I nwere ike iri mkpụrụ osisi niile dị nʼubi a,
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, —for in the day thou eatest thereof, thou shalt die.
ma ị gaghị eri mkpụrụ si nʼosisi ịmata ihe ọma na ihe ọjọọ. Nʼihi na ụbọchị i riri ya ị ga-anwụrịrị.”
18 And Yahweh God said, It is, not good, that the man should remain alone, —I will make for him a helper as his counterpart.
Onyenwe anyị Chineke kwuru sị, “Ọ dịghị mma ka nwoke nọrọ naanị ya. Aga m emere ya onye inyeaka nke kwesiri ya.”
19 Now Yahweh God had formed from the ground every living thing of the field and every bird of the heavens, which he brought in unto the man, that he might see what he should call it, —and, whatsoever the man should call it—any living soul, that, should be the name thereof.
Onyenwe anyị Chineke sitere nʼala kpụọ ụmụ anụmanụ niile nke ọhịa na ụmụ anụ ufe niile nke eluigwe. O dutere ha ka ọ mara ihe mmadụ ahụ ga-akpọ ha. Ihe ọbụla mmadụ ahụ kpọrọ ihe ọbụla ndị a nwere ndụ, nke ahụ bụkwa aha ya.
20 So the man gave names to all the tame-beasts, and to the birds of the heavens, and to all the wild-beasts of the field, —but, for man, had there not been found a helper as his counterpart.
Ya mere, mmadụ ahụ nyere anụ ụlọ niile na anụ ufe niile na anụ ọhịa niile aha. Ma nʼebe Adam nọ, o nweghị onye inyeaka kwesiri ya.
21 So Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept, —and he took one of his ribs, and closed up flesh instead thereof.
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị Chineke mere ka nwoke ahụ daa nʼụra. Mgbe ọ nọ na-arahụ ụra, o wepụtara otu ọgịrịga site na ngụ dị ya nʼahụ, mechikwaa ebe o si wepụta ya.
22 And Yahweh God builded the rib which he had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her in unto the man.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị Chineke ji otu ọgịrịga o si nʼahụ nwoke ahụ wepụta, mee nwanyị, dutere ya nwoke ahụ.
23 And the man said, This, one, now, is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh! This, one shall be called Woman, for, out of a man, hath this one been taken.
Nwoke ahụ kwuru sị, “Nke a bụ ọkpụkpụ si nʼọkpụkpụ m, na anụ ahụ si nʼahụ m, a ga-akpọ ya ‘nwanyị,’ nʼihi na e si nʼime nwoke wepụta ya.”
24 For this cause, will a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave unto his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Ọ bụ nke a mere nwoke ga-eji hapụ nne na nna ya, e jikọta ya na nwunye ya, ha ga-abụ otu anụ ahụ.
25 And they were both of them naked, the man and his wife, —and put not each other to shame.
Nwoke ahụ na nwunye ya gba ọtọ, ma ihere emeghị ha.
