< Genesis 2 >

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Igũrũ na thĩ ikĩrĩka na ũgemu wacio wothe.
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.
Naguo mũthenya wa mũgwanja wakinya, Ngai agĩkorwo arĩkĩtie wĩra ũcio aarutaga; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai akĩhurũka mũthenya ũcio wa mũgwanja kuuma wĩra-inĩ wake wothe.
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.
Nake Ngai akĩrathima mũthenya ũcio wa mũgwanja na akĩwamũra, tondũ nĩ mũthenya ũrĩa we aahurũkire kuuma wĩra-inĩ wothe ũrĩa aarutĩte wa ũũmbi.
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.
Ũcio nĩguo ũhoro ũrĩa wĩgiĩ igũrũ na thĩ rĩrĩa ciombirwo. Rĩrĩa Jehova Ngai ombire thĩ na igũrũ-rĩ,
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 on the earth, and [there was] not a man to till the ground.
gũtiarĩ kahinga o na kamwe ga gĩthaka koonekete thĩ kana mũmera wa gĩthaka ũkamera. Nĩ tondũ Jehova Ngai ndoirĩtie mbura thĩ na gũtiarĩ mũndũ wa kũrĩma mũgũnda,
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
no tũrũũĩ twoimaga na thĩ na tũkaihũgia thĩ igũrũ guothe.
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.
Nake Jehova Ngai akĩũmba mũndũ kuuma rũkũngũ-inĩ rwa thĩ, na akĩmũhuhĩra mĩhũmũ ya muoyo maniũrũ-inĩ make, nake mũndũ ũcio akĩgĩa na muoyo.
8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Ningĩ Jehova Ngai nĩathondekete mũgũnda mwena wa irathĩro, o kũu Edeni; na kũu nĩkuo aigire mũndũ ũcio oombĩte.
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.
Nake Jehova Ngai agĩtũma thĩ ĩmere mĩtĩ ya mĩthemba yothe na ĩkũre. Yarĩ mĩtĩ mĩega ĩkĩoneka na maitho na yaciaraga matunda mega ma kũrĩa. Gatagatĩ ka mũgũnda ũcio nĩ haarĩ na mũtĩ wa muoyo, na mũtĩ wa ũmenyo wa gũkũũrana wega na ũũru.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden: and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
Na nĩ kwarĩ rũũĩ rwathereraga ruumĩte Edeni rũkaihũgia mũgũnda ũcio; ruoima Edeni rũkagayũkana rũgatuĩka njũũĩ inya.
11 The name of the first [is] Pison, which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where [there is] gold;
Rũũĩ rwa mbere rwĩtagwo Pishoni; na nĩruo rũthiũrũrũkaga bũrũri wothe wa Havila, kũrĩa kũrĩ thahabu.
12 And the gold of that land [is] good: there [is] bdellium and the onyx-stone.
(Thahabu ya bũrũri ũcio nĩ njega; ningĩ kũu no kũrĩ maguta manungi wega metagwo bendora, na tũhiga twa goro twĩtagwo onigithi.)
13 And the name of the second river [is] Gihon: the same that compasseth the whole land of Cush.
Rũũĩ rwa keerĩ rwĩtagwo Gihoni; naruo rũthiũrũrũkaga bũrũri wothe wa Kushi.
14 And the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel: which floweth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river [is] Euphrates.
Rũũĩ rwa gatatũ rwĩtagwo Hidekela naruo rũgeragĩra mwena wa irathĩro wa bũrũri wa Ashuri. Naruo rũũĩ rwa kana rwĩtagwo Farati.
15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to dress it, and to keep it.
Jehova Ngai akĩoya mũndũ ũcio oombĩte, akĩmũiga mũgũnda-inĩ ũcio wa Edeni aũrĩmage na aũmenyagĩrĩre.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Nake Jehova Ngai agĩatha mũndũ ũcio, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “No ũrĩe maciaro ma mũtĩ o wothe ũrĩ mũgũnda ũyũ;
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.
no rĩrĩ, ndũkanarĩe maciaro ma mũtĩ ũrĩa wa ũmenyo wa gũkũũrana wega na ũũru, nĩgũkorwo rĩrĩa ũkaamarĩa, ti-itherũ no gũkua ũgaakua.”
18 And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone: I will make him a help meet for him.
Ningĩ Jehova Ngai akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti wega mũndũ ũyũ aikare arĩ wiki. Nĩngũmũmbĩra mũteithia ũrĩa ũmwagĩrĩire.”
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 whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] its name.
Na rĩrĩ, Jehova Ngai nĩ oombĩte nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ kuuma tĩĩri-inĩ. Agĩcirehe kũrĩ mũndũ ũcio one marĩĩtwa marĩa egũcitua; na ũrĩa mũndũ ũcio aatuire kĩũmbe o gĩothe kĩ muoyo, rĩu rĩgĩtuĩka rĩĩtwa rĩakĩo.
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 a help meet for him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ ũcio akĩhe mahiũ mothe marĩĩtwa, o na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ na nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka. No Adamu ndooneirwo mũteithia ũmwagĩrĩire.
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.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova Ngai agĩtũma mũndũ ũcio akome toro mũnene mũno; na rĩrĩa aakomete, Jehova Ngai akĩruta rũbaru rũmwe rwa mũndũ ũcio na agĩcookia nyama hau rwarĩ.
22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, he made woman, and brought her to the man.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehova Ngai akĩũmba mũndũ-wa-nja kuuma rũbaru rũrĩa aarutĩte kũrĩ mũndũ ũcio na akĩrehe mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio kũrĩ we.
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.
Mũndũ ũcio akiuga atĩrĩ, “Hĩ! Rĩu-rĩ, rĩĩrĩ nĩ ihĩndĩ kuuma mahĩndĩ makwa, na nyama cia mwĩrĩ wakwa. Arĩĩtagwo mũndũ-wa-nja, tondũ aarutirwo kuuma kũrĩ mũndũ mũrũme.”
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo gĩtũmaga mũndũ mũrũme atige ithe na nyina, na anyiitane na mũtumia wake, nao magatuĩka mwĩrĩ ũmwe.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Acio eerĩ, mũndũ ũcio na mũtumia wake, maarĩ njaga, na matiaconokaga.
