< Genesis 2 >

1 The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished.
Hottelah kalvan hoi talai, a thung kaawm e pueng teh koung a cum.
2 On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.
Hahoi, a cum e thaw hah asari hnin dawk Cathut ni a pâpout. Hahoi, thaw pueng a cum dawkvah, asari hnin a kâhat.
3 God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done.
Hottelah, Cathut ni asari hnin hah yawhawi a poe teh a thoungsak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a sak e hnopueng koung a cum toung dawkvah, hote hnin dawk a kâhat.
4 This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made the earth and the heavens.
Hetenaw teh kalvan hoi talai a saknae hnin navah,
5 No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,
talai dawk phokung pâw hoehnahlan, law dawk patue e hai a pâw hoehnahlan, BAWIPA Cathut ni talai van khorak sak hoeh rah. Talai dawk ka tawk hane tami hai awm hoeh rah.
6 but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.
Hatei, talai dawk hoi tui kahû a tâco sak teh, talai pueng a duk sak.
7 Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Hahoi, BAWIPA Cathut ni talai dawk e vaiphu hoi tami a sak teh, hringnae kâha a hnawng dawk hoi a poe hnukkhu tami teh kahring e tami lah a kangcoung.
8 Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Hahoi BAWIPA Cathut ni kanîtholah, Eden hmuen dawkvah, takha buet touh a sak teh, a sak e tami hah hawvah a hruek.
9 Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Hote talai dawk a meikahawi niteh, cakawi thingkung aphunphun a pâw sak. Takha lungui vah, hringnae thingkung hoi thoe hoi hawi panuenae thingkung hai a pâw sak.
10 A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers.
Takha kaduksak hanelah, Eden hoi tui buet touh a lawng teh, takha lawilah hoi pali touh lah a kampek teh tuisei pali touh lah a coung.
11 The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
Apasueke tui min teh Pishon. Sui onae Havilah ram pueng, kâkalup lah a lawng.
12 and the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and onyx stone are also there.
Hote ram dawk e sui teh, ahawi. Hote hmuen koe Dellium hoi Onyx talung aphu kaawm e hai ao.
13 The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush.
Apâhni e tui min teh Gihon. Kush ram kâkalup lah a lawng.
14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
Hahoi apâthum e tui min teh Khiddekel. Assiria ram kanîtholah a lawng teh, apali e tui min teh Euphrates.
15 Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
BAWIPA Cathut ni tami a la teh, Eden takha dawk thaw tawk hane hoi khetyawt hanelah a hruek.
16 Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
Hahoi, BAWIPA Cathut ni tami koe kâ a poe e teh, thoe hoi hawi panuenae thingkung hloilah, hote takha dawk kaawm e thingpaw pueng teh, na ca thai.
17 but you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”
Hatei, thoe hoi hawi panuenae thingpaw teh na cat mahoeh. Na cat pawiteh, na ca hnin na due roeroe han atipouh.
18 Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
Hahoi, BAWIPA Cathut ni tongpa teh amadueng ao e hawihoeh a titeh, kabawmkung kahawi ka sak pouh han ati.
19 Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature became its name.
BAWIPA Cathut ni talai a la teh, talai van e saring pueng hoi kalvan e tava pueng a sak hnukkhu, min phung hanelah, Adam koe a thokhai. Adam ni hai a thokhai e saring pueng min a phung e patetlah min lengkaleng a tawn awh.
20 The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper comparable to him.
Hottelah, saringpueng, kalvan e tava pueng, moithang pueng Adam ni min a phung. Hatei, Adam kabawmkung kahawi awm hoeh rah.
21 Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. As the man slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA Cathut ni Adam mat a i sak teh, a i lahun nah a nâhru buet touh a rayu pouh teh, a tak hoi bout a pâbing pouh.
22 Yahweh God made a woman from the rib which he had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
Hahoi, BAWIPA Cathut ni tongpa dawk hoi a rayu e a nâhru hoi napui a sak teh, tongpa koe a thokhai.
23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken out of Man.”
Hahoi, Adam ni hethateh, ka hru thung e ka hru, ka tak thung e ka tak doeh. Tongpa thung e rayu e lah ao dawkvah, napui telah phung hanelah ao ati.
24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.
Hatdawkvah, tongpa ni manu hoi na pa a ceitakhai han. Hathnukkhu, a yu hoi a kâpahlawm vaiteh, takthai buet touh lah a coung han.
25 The man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
Tongpa hoi a yu teh, caici lah ao roi eiteh, kayanae tawn roi hoeh.
