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 the whole world of them.
2 Sou sis jou, Bondye te fin fè tout sa l' t'ap fè a. Setyèm jou a, li sispann travay.
And God finished on the sixth day his works which he made, and he ceased on the seventh day from all his works which he 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 sanctified it, because in it he ceased from all his works which God began to do.
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 book of the generation of heaven and earth, when they were made, in the day in which the Lord God made the heaven and the earth,
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 every herb of the field before it was on the earth, and all the grass of the field before it sprang up, for God had not rained on the earth, and there was not a man to cultivate it.
6 Men, yon vapè dlo leve soti nan tè a, li wouze tout tè a.
But there rose a fountain out of the earth, and watered the whole face of the earth.
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 God formed the man [of] dust of the earth, and breathed upon his face the breath of life, and the 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 God planted a garden eastward in Edem, and placed there 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 God made to spring up also out of the earth every tree beautiful to the eye and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of learning 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 proceeds out of Edem to water the garden, thence it divides itself into 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 one, Phisom, this it is which encircles the whole land of Evilat, 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 also is carbuncle and emerald.
13 Dezyèm larivyè a rele Giyon. Se li ki wouze tout peyi Kouch la.
And the name of the second river is Geon, this it is which encircles the whole land of Ethiopia.
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 third river is Tigris, this is that which flows forth over against the Assyrians. And the fourth river is 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 the Lord God took the man whom he had formed, and placed him in the garden of Delight, 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 gave a charge to Adam, saying, Of every tree which is in the garden you may 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—of it you shall not eat, but in whatever day you eat of it, you shall 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 the Lord God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone, let us make for him a help suitable to 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 God formed yet farther out of the earth all the wild beasts of the field, and all the birds of the sky, and he brought them to Adam, to see what he would call them, and whatever Adam called any living creature, that was the name of it.
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 Adam gave names to all the cattle and to all the birds of the sky, and to all the wild beasts of the field, but for Adam there was not found a help like to himself.
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 God brought a trance upon Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs, and filled 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 God formed the rib which he took from Adam into a woman, and brought her to Adam.
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 Adam said, This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of her husband.
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 to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
25 Nonm lan ak madanm li te toutouni. Men, yo pa t' wont rete konsa.
