Jenèz 2
1 Konsa, Bondye te fin fè syèl la, latè a ansanm ak tout sa ki ladan yo.
So the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the furniture 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 ended his work which he had made: and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.
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 he blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because in it he had rested from all his work which God 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 heaven and the earth, when they were created, in the day that 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 plant of the field before it sprung up in the earth, and every herb of the ground before it grew: for the Lord God had not rained upon the earth; and there was not a man to till the earth.
6 Men, yon vapè dlo leve soti nan tè a, li wouze tout tè a.
But a spring rose out of the earth, watering all the surface 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 the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth: and breathed into his face 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 the Lord God had planted a paradise of pleasure from the beginning: wherein he placed 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 the Lord God brought forth of the ground all manner of trees, fair to behold, and pleasant to eat of: the tree of life also in the midst of paradise: and the tree of 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 the place of pleasure to water paradise, which from thence is divided 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 is Phison: that is it which compasseth all the land of Hevilath, where gold groweth.
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 very good: there is found 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 Gehon: the same is it that compasseth all the 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 name of the third river is Tigris: the same passeth along by 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 man, and put him into the paradise of pleasure, 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 he commanded him, saying: Of every tree of paradise thou shalt 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 knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat. For in what day soever thou shalt eat of it, thou shalt die the death.
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 for man to be alone: let us make him a help like unto himself.
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 the Lord God having formed out of the ground all the beasts of the earth, and all the fowls of the air, brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: for whatsoever Adam called any living creature the same is 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'.
And Adam called all the beasts by their names, and all the fowls of the air, and all the cattle of the field: but for Adam there was not found a helper like 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.
Then the Lord God cast a deep sleep upon Adam: and when he was fast asleep, he took one of his ribs, and filled up flesh for it.
22 Avèk zo kòt li te wete nan nonm lan, li fè yon fanm, li mennen l' ba li.
And the Lord God built 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 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.
Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be two in one flesh.
25 Nonm lan ak madanm li te toutouni. Men, yo pa t' wont rete konsa.
And they were both naked: to wit, Adam and his wife: and were not ashamed.
