Mose 1 2
1 Ale Mawu wu dziƒo kple anyigba kpakple nu siwo katã le xexea me la wɔwɔ nu.
The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished.
2 Eya ta le ŋkeke adrelia gbe, esi Mawu wu eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo nu la, edzudzɔ eɖokui tso eƒe dɔwɔnawo katã me.
On the seventh 'yom ·period of time, day· God finished his work which he had done; and he shavat ·rested· on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.
3 Mawu yra ŋkeke adrelia, eye wòwɔe kɔkɔe, elabena eyae nye ŋkeke si dzi wòdzudzɔ xexea me wɔwɔ le.
God blessed the seventh day, and made it set apart holy, because he rested in it from all his work of barah' ·creation from nothingness· which he had done.
4 Esiawoe nye dziƒo kple anyigba ƒe dzɔdzɔmenyawo, le wo wɔwɔ me le ɣeyiɣi si me Yehowa Mawu wɔ anyigba kple dziƒo.
This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created. On the day that Adonai God made earth and heaven,
5 Do ŋgɔ la, atiwo kple gbewo memie ɖe anyigba dzi haɖe o, elabena Yehowa Mawu meɖo tsidzadza ɖa haɖe o, eye ame aɖeke hã menɔ anyi ade agble ɖe anyigba la dzi o.
no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Adonai God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was no human to till the ground,
6 Gake tsi dzi tso anyigba ƒe tume le teƒe aɖewo, eye wòtsa le anyigba la dzi.
but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 Azɔ Yehowa Mawu tsɔ anyi me amegbetɔ, eye wògbɔ agbegbɔgbɔ ɖe eƒe ŋɔtime, eye wòzu luʋɔ gbagbe.
Adonai God formed and framed a human from the dust of ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breaths of lives; and man became a living soul.
8 Esia megbe la, Yehowa Mawu wɔ abɔ aɖe ɖe Eden le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, eye wòtsɔ ame si wòwɔ la da ɖe abɔ la me.
Adonai God planted a garden eastward, in Eden [Delight], and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 Yehowa Mawu do ati siwo nya kpɔna la ƒomeviwo katã ɖe abɔ la me. Ati siawo tsea ku viviwo. Agbeti kple ati si nana wodzea si nyui kple vɔ̃ la le abɔ la titina.
Out of the ground Adonai God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the 'etz chai ·tree of life· in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Tɔsisi aɖe tso Eden ƒe anyigba dzi tsa to abɔ la me hede tsii. Tɔsisi la ma ɖe alɔdze ene me.
A river went out of Eden [Delight] to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers.
11 Alɔdze gbãtɔ ŋkɔe nye Pison. Etsa to Havilanyigba blibo la dzi, afi si sika le.
The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 (Sika la nyo ŋutɔ. Resin kple onikskpe hã le afi ma.)
and the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and onyx stone are also there.
13 Alɔdze evelia ŋkɔe nye Gihon. Etsa to Kus ƒe anyigba blibo la dzi.
The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush.
14 Alɔdze etɔ̃lia ŋkɔe nye Tigris. Etsa to Asiria ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo. Alɔdze eneliae nye Frat tɔsisi la.
The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria [Level plain]. The fourth river is the Euphrates [Fruitful].
15 Yehowa Mawu tsɔ ame la da ɖe Edenbɔ la me abe abɔdzikpɔla ene.
Adonai God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden [Delight] to cultivate and keep it.
16 Yehowa Mawu de se na ame la be, “Èkpɔ mɔ aɖu ati sia ati le abɔ sia me,
Adonai God enjoined the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
17 gake mèkpɔ mɔ aɖu ati si nana wodzea si nyui kple vɔ̃ ya o, elabena ne èɖui la, ku kee nàku.”
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 have death.”
18 Yehowa Mawu gblɔ be, “Menyo be ame la ɖeka ko nanɔ anyi o. Mawɔ kpeɖeŋutɔ si asɔ ɖe eŋu la nɛ.”
Adonai God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a help-mate suitable for him.”
19 Azɔ Yehowa Mawu tsɔ anyi wɔ gbemelãwo katã kple dziƒoxeviwo katã. Ekplɔ wo va ame la gbɔe be yeanya ŋkɔ si wòana ɖe sia ɖe, eye ale si ame la yɔ nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖee la zu ŋkɔ nɛ.
Out of the ground Adonai 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.
20 Ale ame la na ŋkɔ nu gbagbeawo, aƒemelãwo, dziƒoxeviwo kple gbemelãwo katã. Ke amea ya mekpɔ kpeɖeŋutɔ si asɔ nɛ o.
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 suitable for him.
21 Tete Yehowa Mawu na ŋutsu la dɔ alɔ̃ yi eme ʋĩi. Emegbe la, eɖe ame la ƒe axaƒuti ɖeka, eye wòxe teƒe si wòɖee tsoe la.
Adonai 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.
22 Yehowa Mawu tsɔ axaƒuti si wòɖe le amea me la wɔ nyɔnu, eye wòkplɔe va ame la gbɔ.
Adonai God refined and fashioned an 'ishah ·wife woman· from the rib which had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
23 Tete ame la do dzidzɔɣli be, “Ɛhɛ̃! Esiae nye ƒu tso nye ƒu me kple lã tso nye lãme. Woayɔe be ‘nyɔnu’, elabena ŋutsu me woɖee tsoe.”
The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called ‘'ishah ·wife woman·,’ because she was taken out of 'ish ·husband man·.”
24 Esia ta ŋutsu gblẽa fofoa kple dadaa ɖi, eye wòkuna ɖe srɔ̃a ŋu ale gbegbe be ame eveawo zua ame ɖeka.
Therefore a husband man will leave his father and his mother, and will dabak ·cling to, worship· with his wife woman, and they will be echad ·one· flesh.
25 Togbɔ be Adam kple srɔ̃a nɔ amama hã la, ŋu mekpea wo dometɔ aɖeke o.
The husband man and his wife woman were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
