Mose 1 2
1 Ale Mawu wu dziƒo kple anyigba kpakple nu siwo katã le xexea me la wɔwɔ nu.
Then the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the living things that filled them.
2 Eya ta le ŋkeke adrelia gbe, esi Mawu wu eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo nu la, edzudzɔ eɖokui tso eƒe dɔwɔnawo katã me.
On the seventh day God came to the end of his work which he had done, and so he rested on the seventh day from all his work.
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 sanctified it, because in it he rested from all his work which he had done in his creation.
4 Esiawoe nye dziƒo kple anyigba ƒe dzɔdzɔmenyawo, le wo wɔwɔ me le ɣeyiɣi si me Yehowa Mawu wɔ anyigba kple dziƒo.
These were the events concerning the heavens and the earth, when they were created, on the day that Yahweh God made the earth and the heavens.
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 bush of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate 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.
Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being.
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.
Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, 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 Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. This included the tree of life that was in the midst 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 to water the garden. From there it divided and became 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 is the one which flows throughout the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 (Sika la nyo ŋutɔ. Resin kple onikskpe hã le afi ma.)
The gold of that land is good. There are also bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 Alɔdze evelia ŋkɔe nye Gihon. Etsa to Kus ƒe anyigba blibo la dzi.
The name of the second river is Gihon. This one flows throughout 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 Tigris, which flows east of Ashur. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 Yehowa Mawu tsɔ ame la da ɖe Edenbɔ la me abe abɔdzikpɔla ene.
Yahweh God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to work it and to maintain it.
16 Yehowa Mawu de se na ame la be, “Èkpɔ mɔ aɖu ati sia ati le abɔ sia me,
Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “From every tree in the garden you may freely eat.
17 gake mèkpɔ mɔ aɖu ati si nana wodzea si nyui kple vɔ̃ ya o, elabena ne èɖui la, ku kee nàku.”
But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not eat, for on the day that you eat from it, you will surely die.”
18 Yehowa Mawu gblɔ be, “Menyo be ame la ɖeka ko nanɔ anyi o. Mawɔ kpeɖeŋutɔ si asɔ ɖe eŋu la nɛ.”
Then Yahweh God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make him a helper 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 Yahweh God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the sky. Then he brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called each living creature, that was 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 the livestock, to all the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field. But for the man himself there was found no 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.
Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, so the man slept. Yahweh God took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh where he took the rib.
22 Yehowa Mawu tsɔ axaƒuti si wòɖe le amea me la wɔ nyɔnu, eye wòkplɔe va ame la gbɔ.
With the rib that Yahweh God had taken from the man, he made a woman 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 time, this one is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called 'woman,' because she was taken out of 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 man will leave his father and his mother, he will be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
25 Togbɔ be Adam kple srɔ̃a nɔ amama hã la, ŋu mekpea wo dometɔ aɖeke o.
They were both naked, the man and his wife, but were not ashamed.
