Jenèz 2
1 Konsa, Bondye te fin fè syèl la, latè a ansanm ak tout sa ki ladan yo.
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
2 Sou sis jou, Bondye te fin fè tout sa l' t'ap fè a. Setyèm jou a, li sispann travay.
And by the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work.
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.
Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on that day He rested from all the work of creation that He had accomplished.
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,
This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.
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.
Now no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth, nor had any plant of the field sprouted; for the LORD God had not yet sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.
6 Men, yon vapè dlo leve soti nan tè a, li wouze tout tè a.
But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface 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.
Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.
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 the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man 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.
Out of the ground the LORD God gave growth to every tree that is pleasing to the eye and good for food. And in the middle of the garden were the tree of life 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.
Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:
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 river is Pishon; it winds through 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 pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.
13 Dezyèm larivyè a rele Giyon. Se li ki wouze tout peyi Kouch la.
The name of the second river is Gihon; it winds through 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.
The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it runs along the east side 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'.
Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
16 Seyè a, Bondye a, bay nonm lan lòd sa a. Ou mèt manje donn tout pyebwa ki nan jaden an.
And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,
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 you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will 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'.
The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”
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 the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and He brought them to the man to see what he would name each one. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
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'.
The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.
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.
So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the area with flesh.
22 Avèk zo kòt li te wete nan nonm lan, li fè yon fanm, li mennen l' ba li.
And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.
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,’ for out of man she was taken.”
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.
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
25 Nonm lan ak madanm li te toutouni. Men, yo pa t' wont rete konsa.
And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
