Genesis 2
1 That is the way God created the heavens and the earth.
| به این ترتیب آفرینش آسمانها و زمین و هر چه در آنها بود، تکمیل گردید. |
2 By the time it was the seventh day, God had finished the work of creating everything, so he did not work any more on that day.
| با فرا رسیدن روز هفتم، خدا کار آفرینش را تمام کرد؛ پس در هفتمین روز، از همۀ کار خود بیاسود. |
3 God blessed each seventh day, and he set those days apart to be special days, because on the seventh day God did not work any more, after finishing all his work of creating everything.
| خدا روز هفتم را برکت داده، آن را مقدّس اعلام فرمود، زیرا روزی بود که خدا پس از پایان کار آفرینش، آرام گرفت. |
4 That is how God created the heavens and the earth. God, whose name is Yahweh, made the heavens and the earth.
| این بود تاریخچۀ آسمانها و زمین. هنگامی که یهوه خدا آسمانها و زمین را ساخت |
5 At first there were no plants growing, because Yahweh God had not yet caused rain to fall on the ground. Furthermore, there was no one to till the ground for planting crops.
| هیچ بوته و گیاهی بر زمین نروییده بود، زیرا یهوه خدا هنوز باران نبارانیده بود، و همچنین آدمی نبود که روی زمین کِشت و زرع نماید؛ |
6 Instead, mist rose up from the ground, so that it watered the surface of the ground.
| اما آب از زمین بیرون می‌آمد و تمام خشکی‌ها را سیراب می‌کرد. |
7 Then Yahweh God took some soil and formed a man. He breathed into the man’s nostrils his own breath that gives life, and as a result the man became a living person.
| آنگاه یهوه خدا از خاکِ زمین، آدم را سرشت. سپس در بینی آدم روح حیات دمیده، به او جان بخشید و آدم، موجود زنده‌ای شد. |
8 Yahweh God made a park/garden in a place named Eden, which was east of the land of Canaan, and he put there the man that he had created.
| پس از آن، یهوه خدا در سرزمین عدن که در شرق بود، باغی به وجود آورد و آدمی را که آفریده بود در آن باغ گذاشت. |
9 Yahweh God also put there every kind of tree that is beautiful to see and that produced fruit that was good to eat. He also placed in the middle of the park/garden a tree [whose fruit would enable those who ate it] to live forever. He also placed there another tree whose fruit would enable those who ate it to know what actions were good [to do] and what actions were evil [to do].
| یهوه خدا انواع درختان زیبا در آن باغ رویانید تا میوه‌های خوش طعم دهند. او در وسط باغ، «درخت حیات» و همچنین «درخت شناخت نیک و بد» را قرار داد. |
10 A river flowed from Eden to provide water for the park/garden. Outside of Eden, the river divided into four rivers.
| از سرزمین عدن رودخانه‌ای به سوی باغ جاری شد تا آن را آبیاری کند. سپس این رودخانه به چهار رود کوچکتر تقسیم گردید. |
11 The name of the first river is Pishon. That river flows through all the land of Havilah, where there is gold.
| رود اول فیشون است که سراسر سرزمین حَویله را که در آنجا طلا یافت می‌شود، دور می‌زند. |
12 That gold (is very pure/has no impurities in it). There is [also a sweet-smelling gum called] bdellium, and valuable stones called onyx.
| طلای آن سرزمین بسیار خالص است، و در آنجا صَمْغ خوشبو و سنگ جَزَع نیز یافت می‌شود. |
13 The name of the second river is Gihon. That river flows through all the land of Cain.
| رود دوم جیحون است که از سرزمین کوش عبور می‌کند. |
14 The name of the third river is Tigris. It flows east of [the city of] Asshur. The name of the fourth river is Euphrates.
| سومین رود، دِجلِه است که به سوی شرق آشور جاری است و رود چهارم فرات است. |
15 Yahweh God took the man and put him in Eden park/garden to till/cultivate it and take care of it.
| یهوه خدا آدم را در باغ عدن گذاشت تا در آن کار کند و از آن نگهداری نماید. |
16 But Yahweh said to him, “You must not eat the fruit of the tree that will enable you to know what actions are good to do and what actions are evil to do. If you eat any fruit from that tree, on that day your relationship with me will end. But I will permit you to eat the fruit of any of the other trees in the park/garden.”
| اما یهوه خدا به او گفت: «تو می‌توانی از همۀ میوه‌های درختان باغ آزادانه بخوری، |
| به‌جز میوهٔ درخت شناخت نیک و بد. زیرا اگر از میوهٔ آن بخوری، مطمئن باش خواهی مرد.» |
18 Then Yahweh God said, “It is not good for this man to be alone. So I will make someone who will be a suitable partner for him.”
| یهوه خدا فرمود: «شایسته نیست آدم تنها بماند. باید برای او یار مناسبی به وجود آورم.» |
19 Yahweh God had taken some soil and had formed from it all kinds of animals and birds, and he brought them to the man to hear what names he would give them.
| آنگاه یهوه خدا همهٔ حیوانات و پرندگانی را که از خاک سرشته بود، نزد آدم آورد تا ببیند آدم چه نامهایی بر آنها خواهد گذاشت. بدین ترتیب تمام حیوانات و پرندگان نامگذاری شدند. |
20 Then the man gave names to all the kinds of livestock and birds and wild animals, but none of these creatures was a partner that was suitable for the man.
| پس آدم تمام چارپایان و پرندگان آسمان و همۀ جانوران وحشی را نامگذاری کرد، اما برای او یار مناسبی یافت نشد. |
21 So Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man was sleeping, Yahweh took out one of the man’s ribs. Then he immediately closed the opening in his body [and healed it].
| آنگاه یهوه خدا آدم را به خواب عمیقی فرو برد و یکی از دنده‌هایش را برداشت و جای آن را با گوشت پُر کرد. |
22 Yahweh then made a woman from the rib that he had taken from the man’s body, and he brought her to the man.
| آنگاه یهوه خدا از آن دنده، زنی سرشت و او را پیش آدم آورد. |
23 The man exclaimed, “[Wow]! This is truly (someone like me/what I was looking for!) She is truly from my bones and from my flesh. So I will call her woman, because she was taken from me, a man.”
| آدم گفت: «این است استخوانی از استخوانهایم و گوشتی از گوشتم. نام او”نسا“باشد، چون از انسان گرفته شد.» |
24 [The first woman was taken from the man’s body, ] so that is why when a man and a woman marry, they must leave their parents. The man will join very closely to his wife, so that the two of them will be as though they are one person.
| به این سبب است که مرد از پدر و مادر خود جدا می‌شود و به زن خود می‌پیوندد، و از آن پس، آن دو یک تن می‌شوند. |
25 Although the man and his wife were naked, they were not ashamed about that.
| آدم و زنش هر چند برهنه بودند، ولی احساس شرم نمی‌کردند. |
