2 Eya ta le ŋkeke adrelia gbe, esi Mawu wu eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo nu la, edzudzɔ eɖokui tso eƒe dɔwɔnawo katã me.
ad i ye seueth daye god ended hys worke which he had made and rested in ye seventh daye fro all his workes which he had made.

7 Azɔ Yehowa Mawu tsɔ anyi me amegbetɔ, eye wògbɔ agbegbɔgbɔ ɖe eƒe ŋɔtime, eye wòzu luʋɔ gbagbe.

17 gake mèkpɔ mɔ aɖu ati si nana wodzea si nyui kple vɔ̃ ya o, elabena ne èɖui la, ku kee nàku.”
But of the tre of knowlege of good and badd se that thou eate not: for even ye same daye thou eatest of it thou shalt surely dye.
18 Yehowa Mawu gblɔ be, “Menyo be ame la ɖeka ko nanɔ anyi o. Mawɔ kpeɖeŋutɔ si asɔ ɖe eŋu la nɛ.”
And the LORde God sayd: it is not good that man shulde be alone I will make hym an helper to beare him company:
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.

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.
Then the LORde God cast a slomber on Adam and he slepte. And then he toke out one of his rybbes and in stede ther of he fylled vp the place with flesh.

And the LORde God made of the rybbe which he toke out of Adam a woma and brought her vnto Adam.
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.”
Then sayd Ada this is once bone of my boones and flesh of my flesh. This shall be called woman: because she was take of the man.
24 Esia ta ŋutsu gblẽa fofoa kple dadaa ɖi, eye wòkuna ɖe srɔ̃a ŋu ale gbegbe be ame eveawo zua ame ɖeka.
