Genesis 2
1 That is the way God created the heavens and the earth.
No dalaꞌ naa, Lamatualain tao lalai no raefafoꞌ, no basa isi-oe na.
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.
Mbilaꞌ neu ma, ndaa no fai kahitu na, Ana hahae ao Na, huu tao nala basaꞌ e ena.
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.
No taꞌo naa, Ana tao fai kahitu na dadꞌi fai monaeꞌ mia fai feaꞌ ra, huu Ana tao basa ue-tatao Na ena, de fai kahitu na ma, Ana hahae ao Na.
4 That is how God created the heavens and the earth. God, whose name is Yahweh, made the heavens and the earth.
Lamatualain naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ lalai no raefafoꞌ dudꞌui na, taꞌo a naa. Leleꞌ LAMATUALAIN naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ lalai no raefafoꞌ a,
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.
nda feꞌe hambu hau-bebꞌa saa saꞌ boe, huu Ana nda feꞌe naꞌondaꞌ udꞌan sa. Leleꞌ naa, feꞌe akaꞌ a lumeꞌ a namasu mia rae fo naꞌadꞌoe raefafoꞌ. Ma nda feꞌe hambu atahori fo tao osi sa.
6 Instead, mist rose up from the ground, so that it watered the surface of the ground.
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.
Dei de LAMATUALAIN haꞌi rae mbei, de tao dadꞌi atahori. Ana fuu ani-hahaeꞌ tungga mbana ndola na, ma atahori a nasodꞌa tuteꞌ a.
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.
Basa ma, LAMATUALAIN tao osi esa mia rae Eden seriꞌ rulu, de Ana fee atahori a leo sia naa.
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].
Ana naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ hau huuꞌ maloleꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ sia osi a, fo atahori a naa no maladꞌaꞌ. Ma Ana o tao hau huuꞌ mataꞌ rua sia osi a taladꞌa na. Mete ma atahori raa hau esa boa na, ara rasodꞌa rakandoo. Te mete ma ara raa hau esa ka boa na, ara rahine bee maloleꞌ ma bee deꞌulakaꞌ.
10 A river flowed from Eden to provide water for the park/garden. Outside of Eden, the river divided into four rivers.
Hambu loe sa nandali mia osi a, de dea neu. Loe naa, masaranggaaꞌ haa.
11 The name of the first river is Pishon. That river flows through all the land of Havilah, where there is gold.
Ranggaꞌ kaesa na, naran Pison. Ranggaꞌ naa nandali rereoꞌ rae Hawila. Sia naa, hambu lilo naeꞌ.
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.
Lilo naa ra meuꞌ. Sia naa o hambu hau raa maꞌameniꞌ ma fatu makahadꞌoꞌ.
13 The name of the second river is Gihon. That river flows through all the land of Cain.
Ranggaꞌ karua na, naran Gihon. Ranggaꞌ naa nandali rereoꞌ rae Kus.
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.
Ranggaꞌ katelu na, naran Tigris. Ranggaꞌ ia, dadꞌi tadꞌaꞌ sia rae Asyur seriꞌ rulu. Ma rangga kahaa na, naran Efrat.
15 Yahweh God took the man and put him in Eden park/garden to till/cultivate it and take care of it.
LAMATUALAIN fee atahori a leo sia Eden, fo tao mataꞌ neu osi a.
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.”
Ma Ana parenda e nae, “Ho sudꞌiꞌ a mua hau boaꞌ saa mia basa hau huuꞌ sia osi ia.
Te akaꞌ na, afi mua hau boaꞌ mia hau huuꞌ mana fee nggo muhine bee maloleꞌ ma bee deꞌulakaꞌ. Mete ma mua, naa, mate nggo.”
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.”
Basa ma, LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Nda maloleꞌ sa atahori ia nasodꞌa mesaꞌ ne. De Au ae tao fee ne, nonoon esa fo ndaa no e.”
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.
Leleꞌ naa, LAMATUALAIN ao nala rae mbei, de tao banda ma mbuiꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Ana nendi se risiꞌ atahori a, fo nanara se. Boe ma, atahori a nanara se, esa-esaꞌ no nara na. Te ana nda feꞌe hambu nonoon sa.
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.
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].
De LAMATUALAIN fee atahori a sungguꞌ nasambeta, de haꞌi nala rui aiusu na esa. Dei de, Ana mbalu baliꞌ bisu a.
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.
Ma Ana tao ruiꞌ naa dadꞌi inaꞌ, de fee neu atahori a.
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.”
Atahori a nita inaꞌ a ma, ana nae, “Ia dei, fo ndaa no au! Rui na o, onaꞌ au rui ngga boe. Ma ao sisi na, onaꞌ au ao sisi ngga. Huu eni dadꞌi mia touꞌ, naa de au babꞌae e ‘inaꞌ’.”
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.
Huu naa, touꞌ musi lao hela ina-ama nara, fo nasodꞌa ralaꞌ esa no sao na, te ruꞌa se dadꞌi esa ena.
25 Although the man and his wife were naked, they were not ashamed about that.
Leleꞌ naa, ruꞌa se maꞌaholaꞌ, te ara nda mae saꞌ.
