< Genesis 2 >

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Tako sta bila končana nebo in zemlja in vsa njuna vojska.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
[7. dan] Na sedmi dan je Bog končal svoje delo, ki ga je naredil; in na sedmi dan je počival od vsega svojega dela, ki ga je naredil.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Bog je blagoslovil sedmi dan ter ga posvetil, zato ker je na ta [dan] počival od vsega svojega dela, ki ga je Bog ustvaril in naredil.
4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
To so rodovi neba in zemlje, ko so bili ustvarjeni, na dan, ko je Gospod Bog naredil zemljo in nebo
5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
in vsako poljsko rastlino, preden je bila na zemlji in vsako poljsko zelišče, preden je zraslo, kajti Gospod Bog na zemljo ni poslal dežja in ni bilo človeka, da obdeluje tla.
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
Toda meglica se je dvigala iz zemlje in namakala celotno obličje tal.
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Gospod Bog je iz prahu tal oblikoval človeka in v njegove nosnice vdihnil dih življenja, in človek je postal živa duša.
8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Gospod Bog je zasadil vrt proti vzhodu v Edenu in tja je postavil človeka, ki ga je oblikoval.
9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Gospod Bog je naredil, da iz tal požene vsako drevo, ki je prijetno pogledu in dobro za hrano; tudi drevo življenja v sredi vrta in drevo spoznanja dobrega in zla.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became into four heads.
In reka je izvirala iz Edena, da namaka vrt in od tam je bila razdeljena v štiri glave.
11 The name of the first is Pison: which goest around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
Ime prve je Pišón. To je ta, ki obkroža celotno deželo Havilá, kjer je zlato
12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
in zlato te dežele je dobro; tam je bdelij in kamen oniks.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same that goest around the whole land of Cush.
Ime druge reke je Gihon. Ta ista je ta, ki obkroža celotno deželo Etiopijo.
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: which floweth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
Ime tretje reke je Hidekel. To je ta, ki gre proti vzhodu Asirije. In četrta reka je Evfrat.
15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to tend it and to keep it.
Gospod Bog je vzel človeka ter ga postavil v edenski vrt, da ga prirezuje in da ga varuje.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Gospod Bog je človeku zapovedal, rekoč: »Od vsakega vrtnega drevesa lahko prosto ješ,
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt surely die.
toda od drevesa spoznanja dobrega in zla, ne smeš jesti od njega, kajti na dan, ko boš od njega jedel, boš zagotovo umrl.«
18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Gospod Bog je rekel: » To ni dobro, da bi bil človek sam. Naredil mu bom pomoč, primerno zanj.«
19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: and whatever Adam called every living creature, that was its name.
Iz tal je Gospod Bog oblikoval vsako poljsko žival in vsako zračno perjad in jih privedel k Adamu, da vidi, kako jih bo poimenoval. In kakorkoli je Adam vsako živo ustvarjeno bitje poimenoval, to je bilo njeno ime.
20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowls of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
Adam je dal imena vsej živini, zračni perjadi in vsaki poljski živali, toda za Adama ni bilo najti pomoči, primerne zanj.
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place;
Gospod Bog je storil, da je na Adama padlo globoko spanje in je zaspal. Vzel je eno izmed njegovih reber ter namesto le-tega zaprl meso
22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, he made a woman, and brought her to the man.
in [iz] rebra, ki ga je Gospod Bog vzel iz človeka, je naredil žensko in jo privedel k človeku.
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Adam je rekel: »To je sedaj kost iz mojih kosti in meso iz mojega mesa. Imenovala se bo Ženska, ker je bila vzeta iz Moškega.«
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Zatorej bo moški zapustil svojega očeta in svojo mater in se bo trdno pridružil svoji ženi in oba bosta eno meso.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Oba sta bila naga, mož in njegova žena in ni ju bilo sram.
