Genesis 2
1 That is the way God created the heavens and the earth.
Y fueron acabados los cielos y la tierra, y todo el ejército de ellos.
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.
Y acabó Dios en el día séptimo su obra que hizo, y reposó el día séptimo de toda su obra que había hecho.
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.
Y bendijo Dios al día séptimo, y santificóle: porque en él reposó de toda su obra que había creado Dios para hacer.
4 That is how God created the heavens and the earth. God, whose name is Yahweh, made the heavens and the earth.
Estos son los orígenes de los cielos y de la tierra cuando fueron creados, en el día en que hizo Jehová Dios la tierra y los cielos,
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.
Y toda planta del campo antes que fuese en la tierra; y toda yerba del campo antes que naciese: porque aún no había hecho llover Jehová Dios sobre la tierra; ni aún había hombre, para que labrase la tierra.
6 Instead, mist rose up from the ground, so that it watered the surface of the ground.
Y un vapor subía de la tierra, que regaba toda la haz de la tierra.
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.
Formó pues Jehová Dios al hombre del polvo de la tierra, y sopló en su nariz soplo de vida: y fue el hombre en ánima viviente.
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.
Y había plantado Jehová Dios un huerto en Edén al oriente, y puso allí al hombre que formó.
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].
Había también hecho producir Jehová Dios de la tierra todo árbol deseable a la vista, y bueno para comer; y el árbol de vida en medio del huerto, y el árbol de ciencia de bien y de mal.
10 A river flowed from Eden to provide water for the park/garden. Outside of Eden, the river divided into four rivers.
Y salía un río de Edén para regar el huerto, y desde allí se repartía en cuatro cabezas.
11 The name of the first river is Pishon. That river flows through all the land of Havilah, where there is gold.
El nombre del uno era Fisón: este es el que cerca toda la tierra de Hevila, donde hay oro:
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.
Y el oro de aquella tierra es bueno: hay allí también bedelio, y piedra cornerina.
13 The name of the second river is Gihon. That river flows through all the land of Cain.
El nombre del segundo río es Gijón: este es el que cerca toda la tierra de Etiopía.
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.
Y el nombre del tercer río es Jidekel: este es el que va hacia el oriente de la Asiria. Y el cuarto río es Éufrates.
15 Yahweh God took the man and put him in Eden park/garden to till/cultivate it and take care of it.
Tomó pues Jehová Dios al hombre, y púsole en el huerto de Edén, para que le labrase, y le guardase.
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.”
Y mandó Jehová Dios al hombre, diciendo: De todo árbol del huerto comerás:
Mas del árbol de ciencia de bien y de mal, no comerás de él: porque el día que de él comieres, morirás.
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.”
Y dijo Jehová Dios: No es bueno que el hombre esté solo: hacerle he ayuda que esté delante de él.
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.
Formó pues Jehová Dios de la tierra toda bestia del campo, y toda ave de los cielos, y trájolas a Adam, para que viese como las había de llamar: y todo lo que Adam llamó a alma viviente, eso es su nombre.
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.
Y puso Adam nombres a toda bestia, y a ave de los cielos, y a todo animal del campo: mas para Adam no halló ayuda, que estuviese delante de él.
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].
E hizo caer Jehová Dios sueño sobre el hombre, y adormecióse; y tomó una de sus costillas, y cerró la carne en su lugar.
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.
Y edificó Jehová Dios la costilla que tomó del hombre, en mujer, y trájola al hombre.
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.”
Y dijo el hombre: Esta vez, hueso de mis huesos, y carne de mi carne. Esta será llamada Varona, porque del Varón fue tomada esta.
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.
Por tanto el varón dejará a su padre y a su madre, y allegarse ha a su mujer, y serán por una carne.
25 Although the man and his wife were naked, they were not ashamed about that.
Y estaban ambos desnudos, Adam y su mujer, y no se avergonzaban.
