Jenèz 2
1 Konsa, Bondye te fin fè syèl la, latè a ansanm ak tout sa ki ladan yo.
And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 Sou sis jou, Bondye te fin fè tout sa l' t'ap fè a. Setyèm jou a, li sispann travay.
And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 Li beni setyèm jou a, li mete l' apa pou li, paske se jou sa a li te sispann travay apre li te fin kreye tout sa l' t'ap kreye a.
And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made.
4 Se konsa sa te pase lè Bondye t'ap kreye syèl la ak latè a. Lè Seyè a, Bondye a, t'ap fè latè ansanm ak tou sa ki nan syèl la,
These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven.
5 pa t' gen yon ti pyebwa sou tè a. Ankenn zèb pa t' ankò pouse nan jaden, paske Bondye pa t' voye lapli tonbe sou tè a. Lèfini, pa t' gen moun pou travay latè.
And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Jehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth: and there was not a man to till the ground;
6 Men, yon vapè dlo leve soti nan tè a, li wouze tout tè a.
but there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 Lè sa a, Seyè a, Bondye a, pran pousyè tè, li fè yon nonm. Li soufle nan twou nen nonm lan pou l' ba li lavi. Epi nonm lan vin vivan.
And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 Seyè a, Bondye a, plante yon jaden yon kote yo rele Edenn, bò kote solèy leve a. Se la li mete nonm li te fè a.
And Jehovah God planted a garden eastward, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 Seyè a, Bondye a, te fè tout kalite pyebwa leve nan jaden an, bèl pyebwa ki donnen fwi ki bon pou manje. Nan mitan jaden an te gen de gwo pyebwa. Yonn se te pyebwa ki bay lavi a, lòt la se te pyebwa ki fè moun konnen sa ki byen ak sa ki mal la.
And out of the ground made Jehovah God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Yon gwo larivyè soti nan peyi Edenn, li wouze jaden an. Larivyè a te fè kat branch.
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four heads.
11 Premye branch lan te rele Pichon. Se larivyè sa a ki wouze tout peyi Avila a, peyi kote yo jwenn anpil lò a.
The name of the first is Pishon: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 Se nan peyi sa a yo jwenn pi bon lò ansanm ak pyebwa gonm arabik ak yon pyè wouj ki koute chè yo rele oniks.
and the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 Dezyèm larivyè a rele Giyon. Se li ki wouze tout peyi Kouch la.
And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Cush.
14 Twazyèm larivyè a rele Tig. Se li ki pase nan peyi Lasiri, sou bò solèy leve a. Katriyèm larivyè a se Lefrat.
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth in front of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 Seyè a, Bondye a, pran nonm lan, li mete l' nan jaden Edenn lan pou l' travay li, pou l' pran swen l'.
And Jehovah God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16 Seyè a, Bondye a, bay nonm lan lòd sa a. Ou mèt manje donn tout pyebwa ki nan jaden an.
And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 Men, piga ou manje donn pyebwa ki fè moun konnen sa ki byen ak sa ki mal la. Paske, jou ou manje l', w'ap mouri.
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
18 Seyè a, Bondye a, di ankò. Sa pa bon pou nonm lan rete pou kont li. M'ap fè yon lòt moun sanble avè l' pou ede l'.
And Jehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.
19 Se konsa, Seyè a, Bondye a, pran pousyè tè, li fè tout kalite zannimo ki nan savann ak tout kalite zwazo k'ap vole nan syèl la. Lè l' fini, li mennen yo bay nonm lan pou wè ki non li tapral ba yo. Se non li te ba yo a ki rete pou yo nèt.
And out of the ground Jehovah God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
20 Se konsa, nonm lan bay tout bèt yo gade, tout bèt nan bwa ak tout zwazo ki nan syèl la non yo. Men, pa t' gen yonn ki te sanble avè l', ki ta ka ede l'.
And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but for man there was not found a help meet for him.
21 Lè sa a, Seyè a, Bondye a, fè dòmi pran nonm lan. Msye dòmi nèt ale. Pandan l'ap dòmi an, Bondye louvri bò kòt li, li wete yon zo kòt. Apre sa, li fèmen twou a byen fèmen.
And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof:
22 Avèk zo kòt li te wete nan nonm lan, li fè yon fanm, li mennen l' ba li.
and the rib, which Jehovah God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 Lè nonm lan wè l', li di. Aa! Fwa sa a, men yonn ki menm jan avè m'! Zo l' se zo mwen. Chè l' se chè mwen. Y'a rele l' fanm, paske se nan gason li soti.
And the man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24 Se poutèt sa, gason an va kite papa l' ak manman l' pou l' mete tèt li ansanm ak madanm li, pou tout de fè yon sèl.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 Nonm lan ak madanm li te toutouni. Men, yo pa t' wont rete konsa.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
