Genesis 2
1 Thus were finished the heavens and the earth and all their host.
Igitur perfecti sunt cæli et terra, et omnis ornatus eorum.
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.
Complevitque Deus die septimo opus suum quod fecerat: et requievit die septimo ab universo opere quod patrarat.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, —because therein, rested he from all his work which God, by creating, had made.
Et benedixit diei septimo, et sanctificavit illum, quia in ipso cessaverat ab omni opere suo quod creavit Deus ut faceret.
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.
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, 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;
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, a vapour, went up from the earth, —and watered all the face of the ground.
sed fons ascendebat e terra, irrigans universam superficiem terræ.
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.
Formavit igitur Dominus Deus hominem de limo terræ, et inspiravit in faciem ejus spiraculum vitæ, et factus est homo in animam viventem.
8 And Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden, on the east, —and put there the man whom he had formed.
Plantaverat autem Dominus Deus paradisum voluptatis a principio, in quo posuit hominem quem formaverat.
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.
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 Now, a river, was coming forth out of Eden, to water the garden, —and, from thence, it parted, and became four heads,
Et fluvius egrediebatur de loco voluptatis ad irrigandum paradisum, qui inde dividitur in quatuor capita.
11 The name of the one, is Pishon, —the same, is that which surroundeth all the land of Havilah, where is gold;
Nomen uni Phison: ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Hevilath, ubi nascitur aurum:
12 moreover the gold of that land, is good, —there, is the bdellium, and the beryl stone,
et aurum terræ illius optimum est; ibi invenitur bdellium, et lapis onychinus.
13 And the name of the second river, is Gihon, —the same, is that which surroundeth all the 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, the same, is that which goeth in front of Assyria; and the fourth river, is Euphrates.
Nomen vero fluminis tertii, Tigris: ipse vadit contra Assyrios. Fluvius autem quartus, ipse est Euphrates.
15 So Yahweh God took the man, —and placed him in the garden of Eden, to till it and to keep it.
Tulit ergo Dominus Deus hominem, et posuit eum in paradiso voluptatis, ut operaretur, et custodiret illum:
16 And Yahweh God laid command on the man, saying, —Of every tree of the garden, thou mayest eat;
præcepitque ei, dicens: Ex omni ligno paradisi comede;
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.
de ligno autem scientiæ boni et mali ne comedas: in quocumque enim die comederis ex eo, morte morieris.
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.
Dixit quoque Dominus Deus: Non est bonum esse hominem solum: faciamus ei adjutorium simile sibi.
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.
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 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.
Appellavitque Adam nominibus suis cuncta animantia, et universa volatilia cæli, et omnes bestias terræ: Adæ vero non inveniebatur adjutor similis ejus.
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.
Immisit ergo Dominus Deus soporem in Adam: cumque obdormisset, tulit unam de costis ejus, et replevit carnem pro ea.
22 And Yahweh God builded the rib which he had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her in unto the man.
Et ædificavit Dominus Deus costam, quam tulerat de Adam, in mulierem: et adduxit eam ad Adam.
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.
Dixitque Adam: Hoc nunc os ex ossibus meis, et caro de carne mea: hæc vocabitur Virago, quoniam de viro sumpta est.
24 For this cause, will a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave unto his wife, and they shall 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 of them naked, the man and his wife, —and put not each other to shame.
Erat autem uterque nudus, Adam scilicet et uxor ejus: et non erubescebant.
