< Genesis 2 >

1 And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;
Eyi ne ɔkwan a Onyankopɔn faa so bɔɔ ɔsoro ne asase ne nea ɛwɔ mu nyinaa.
2 and God completeth by the seventh day His work which He hath made, and ceaseth by the seventh day from all His work which He hath made.
Eduu da a ɛto so ason no, na Onyankopɔn awie nnwuma a ofii ase yɛe no nyinaa. Enti da a ɛto so ason no, ogyee nʼahome.
3 And God blesseth the seventh day, and sanctifieth it, for in it He hath ceased from all His work which God had prepared for making.
Enti Onyankopɔn hyiraa da a ɛto so ason no, na ɔtew ho, efisɛ saa da no na Onyankopɔn gyee nʼahome fii adebɔ nnwuma no nyinaa mu.
4 These [are] births of the heavens and of the earth in their being prepared, in the day of Jehovah God's making earth and heavens;
Eyi ne ɔsoro ne asasebɔ ho asɛm. Bere a Awurade Nyankopɔn bɔɔ ɔsoro ne asase no.
5 and no shrub of the field is yet in the earth, and no herb of the field yet sprouteth, for Jehovah God hath not rained upon the earth, and a man there is not to serve the ground,
Na afifide biara nni asase so, na wuram nnua biara nso nni hɔ. Efisɛ, na Awurade Nyankopɔn mmaa osu ntɔɔ wɔ asase so, na onipa nso nni asase so a ɔbɛyɛ so adwuma.
6 and a mist goeth up from the earth, and hath watered the whole face of the ground.
Nanso nsuti puepue fifii asase mu bɛfɔw asase ani nyinaa.
7 And Jehovah God formeth the man — dust from the ground, and breatheth into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becometh a living creature.
Awurade Nyankopɔn de asase no so dɔte nwen onipa, na ɔhomee nkwa home guu ne hwenem, maa onipa no bɛyɛɛ ɔteasefo.
8 And Jehovah God planteth a garden in Eden, at the east, and He setteth there the man whom He hath formed;
Afei Awurade Nyankopɔn yɛɛ turo wɔ Eden apuei fam, na ɛhɔ na ɔde onipa a ɔnwen no no tenae.
9 and Jehovah God causeth to sprout from the ground every tree desirable for appearance, and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Awurade Nyankopɔn maa nnua ahorow nyinaa fifi fii asase no mu; nnua a ɛyɛ fɛ na wodi. Na nkwa dua ne papa ne bɔnehu dua sisi turo no mfimfini.
10 And a river is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from thence it is parted, and hath become four chief [rivers];
Na asu sen fii Eden bɛfɔw turo no mu afifide no; efi hɔ a, na saa asu no mu apaapae ayɛ nsubɔnten anan.
11 the name of the one [is] Pison, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of the Havilah where the gold [is],
Wɔtoo asu a apaapae no mu nea edi kan no din Pison. Na ɛkɔntɔn fa Hawila asase a sikakɔkɔɔ wɔ so no so nyinaa.
12 and the gold of that land [is] good, there [is] the bdolach and the shoham stone;
Na saa asase no so sikakɔkɔɔ ye. Na ɛhyɛ a ɛyɛ huam ne apopobibiribo nso wɔ hɔ.
13 and the name of the second river [is] Gibon, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Cush;
Asubɔnten a ɛto so abien no din de Gihon. Na ɛno ara na ɛkɔntɔnkɔntɔn fa Kus asase ho nyinaa.
14 and the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel, it [is] that which is going east of Asshur; and the fourth river is Phrat.
Asu a ɛto so abiɛsa no, na wɔfrɛ no Tigris a ɛsen kɔ asase kɛse Asiria apuei fam no. Asu a ɛto so anan no nso, na wɔfrɛ no Eufrate.
15 And Jehovah God taketh the man, and causeth him to rest in the garden of Eden, to serve it, and to keep it.
Awurade Nyankopɔn faa onipa no de no kɔtenaa Eden turo mu hɔ sɛ ɔnyɛ mu adwuma, na ɔnhwɛ so.
16 And Jehovah God layeth a charge on the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat;
Na Awurade Nyankopɔn bɔɔ onipa no kɔkɔ se, “Wowɔ ho kwan sɛ wudi dua biara so aba wɔ turo yi mu ha;
17 and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it — dying thou dost die.'
nanso wunni ho kwan sɛ wudi papa ne bɔnehu dua no so aba. Da a wubedi no, nea ɛbɛyɛ biara no, wubewu.”
18 And Jehovah God saith, 'Not good for the man to be alone, I do make to him an helper — as his counterpart.'
Afei Awurade Nyankopɔn kae se, “Enye sɛ onipa nko tena; mɛbɔ ɔboafo a ɔfata no ama no.”
19 And Jehovah God formeth from the ground every beast of the field, and every fowl of the heavens, and bringeth in unto the man, to see what he doth call it; and whatever the man calleth a living creature, that [is] its name.
Saa bere no na Awurade Nyankopɔn de mfutuma abɔ wuram mmoa ne wim nnomaa nyinaa. Enti, ɔde wɔn brɛɛ onipa sɛ ɔnhwehwɛ din ko a ɔde bɛtoto wɔn; na din a onipa de too abɔde a nkwa wɔ mu biara no, ɛno ara na ɛyɛɛ din a wɔde frɛɛ no.
20 And the man calleth names to all the cattle, and to fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; and to man hath not been found an helper — as his counterpart.
Enti onipa totoo nyɛmmoa, wim nnomaa ne wuram mmoa no nyinaa din. Nanso onipa de, wannya ɔboafo a ɔfata.
21 And Jehovah God causeth a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he sleepeth, and He taketh one of his ribs, and closeth up flesh in its stead.
Enti Awurade Nyankopɔn maa onipa daa nnahɔɔ. Bere a onipa daa saa no, oyii ne mfe mu mparow baako, na ɔde honam taree baabi a oyii mparow hɔ no.
22 And Jehovah God buildeth up the rib which He hath taken out of the man into a woman, and bringeth her in unto the man;
Afei Awurade Nyankopɔn de mfe mu mparow baako a oyi fii onipa mu no bɔɔ ɔbea, de no maa onipa no.
23 and the man saith, 'This [is] the [proper] step! bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!' for this it is called Woman, for from a man hath this been taken;
Na Adam kae se, “Mʼankasa me dompe ne me honam bi ni. Wɔbɛfrɛ oyi ɔbea efisɛ ɔbarima mu na woyii no fii.”
24 therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and hath cleaved unto his wife, and they have become one flesh.
Eyi nti na ɔbarima gyaw nʼagya ne ne na de ne ho kɔbɔ ne yere ho sɛnea wɔn baanu no bɛyɛ nnipa koro.
25 And they are both of them naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
Saa bere no, na ɔbarima ne ne yere nyinaa ho da hɔ, nanso na wɔmfɛre.
