Mose 1 2
1 Ale Mawu wu dziƒo kple anyigba kpakple nu siwo katã le xexea me la wɔwɔ nu.
And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;
2 Eya ta le ŋkeke adrelia gbe, esi Mawu wu eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo nu la, edzudzɔ eɖokui tso eƒe dɔwɔnawo katã me.
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.
3 Mawu yra ŋkeke adrelia, eye wòwɔe kɔkɔe, elabena eyae nye ŋkeke si dzi wòdzudzɔ xexea me wɔwɔ le.
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.
4 Esiawoe nye dziƒo kple anyigba ƒe dzɔdzɔmenyawo, le wo wɔwɔ me le ɣeyiɣi si me Yehowa Mawu wɔ anyigba kple dziƒo.
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;
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.
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,
6 Gake tsi dzi tso anyigba ƒe tume le teƒe aɖewo, eye wòtsa le anyigba la dzi.
and a mist goeth up from the earth, and hath watered the whole face of the ground.
7 Azɔ Yehowa Mawu tsɔ anyi me amegbetɔ, eye wògbɔ agbegbɔgbɔ ɖe eƒe ŋɔtime, eye wòzu luʋɔ gbagbe.
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.
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.
And Jehovah God planteth a garden in Eden, at the east, and He setteth there the man whom He hath 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.
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.
10 Tɔsisi aɖe tso Eden ƒe anyigba dzi tsa to abɔ la me hede tsii. Tɔsisi la ma ɖe alɔdze ene me.
And a river is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from thence it is parted, and hath become four chief [rivers];
11 Alɔdze gbãtɔ ŋkɔe nye Pison. Etsa to Havilanyigba blibo la dzi, afi si sika le.
the name of the one [is] Pison, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of the Havilah where the gold [is],
12 (Sika la nyo ŋutɔ. Resin kple onikskpe hã le afi ma.)
and the gold of that land [is] good, there [is] the bdolach and the shoham stone;
13 Alɔdze evelia ŋkɔe nye Gihon. Etsa to Kus ƒe anyigba blibo la dzi.
and the name of the second river [is] Gibon, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Cush;
14 Alɔdze etɔ̃lia ŋkɔe nye Tigris. Etsa to Asiria ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo. Alɔdze eneliae nye Frat tɔsisi la.
and the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel, it [is] that which is going east of Asshur; and the fourth river is Phrat.
15 Yehowa Mawu tsɔ ame la da ɖe Edenbɔ la me abe abɔdzikpɔla ene.
And Jehovah God taketh the man, and causeth him to rest in the garden of Eden, to serve it, and to keep it.
16 Yehowa Mawu de se na ame la be, “Èkpɔ mɔ aɖu ati sia ati le abɔ sia me,
And Jehovah God layeth a charge on the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat;
17 gake mèkpɔ mɔ aɖu ati si nana wodzea si nyui kple vɔ̃ ya o, elabena ne èɖui la, ku kee nàku.”
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.'
18 Yehowa Mawu gblɔ be, “Menyo be ame la ɖeka ko nanɔ anyi o. Mawɔ kpeɖeŋutɔ si asɔ ɖe eŋu la nɛ.”
And Jehovah God saith, 'Not good for the man to be alone, I do make to him an helper — as his counterpart.'
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.
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.
20 Ale ame la na ŋkɔ nu gbagbeawo, aƒemelãwo, dziƒoxeviwo kple gbemelãwo katã. Ke amea ya mekpɔ kpeɖeŋutɔ si asɔ nɛ o.
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.
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.
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.
22 Yehowa Mawu tsɔ axaƒuti si wòɖe le amea me la wɔ nyɔnu, eye wòkplɔe va ame la gbɔ.
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;
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.”
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;
24 Esia ta ŋutsu gblẽa fofoa kple dadaa ɖi, eye wòkuna ɖe srɔ̃a ŋu ale gbegbe be ame eveawo zua ame ɖeka.
therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and hath cleaved unto his wife, and they have become one flesh.
25 Togbɔ be Adam kple srɔ̃a nɔ amama hã la, ŋu mekpea wo dometɔ aɖeke o.
And they are both of them naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
