Jenèz 2
1 Se te konsa syèl yo avèk tè a te fin fèt, avèk tout lame yo.
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
2 Nan setyèm jou a, Bondye te fin fè travay ke Li te fè yo. Konsa, Li te repoze nan setyèm jou a sou tout travay ke Li te fè yo.
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 Epi Bondye te beni setyèm jou a. Li te fè li sen, akoz nan li, Li te repoze de tout travay kreyasyon an, ke Li te fè 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 Sa se listwa syèl yo avèk tè a lè yo te kreye, nan jou ke SENYÈ Bondye a e fè tè a avèk 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 Alò potko gen ti bwa chan ki te parèt nan tè a, ni plant chan ki te boujonnen, paske Senyè Bondye a potko voye lapli sou tè a, e pa t gen moun pou kiltive tè a.
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 te konn leve sòti nan tè a pou wouze tout sifas li.
But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 Alò Senyè Bondye a te fòme lòm sòti nan pousyè tè a. Li te respire souf lavi fè l vin antre nan nen l, e lòm te devni yon nanm 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 Senyè Bondye a te plante yon jaden nan pati lès Eden, e se la Li te mete lòm ke Li te fòme a.
And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.
9 Soti nan tè a, SENYÈ Bondye a te fè grandi chak ab ki bèl pou gade e ki bon pou manje. Avèk yo nan mitan jaden a te gen ab lavi a, ak ab konesans a sa ki bon 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 Alò, yon rivyè te sòti nan Eden pou wouze jaden an. Epi soti la, li te divize ou fè kat rivyè.
Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:
11 Premye rivyè a rele Pischon; li pase antoure tout peyi Havila, kote ki gen lò a.
The name of the first river is Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 Lò peyi sa a bon; wòch bdelyèm avèk onyx konn twouve la.
And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.
13 Dezyèm rivyè a rele Guihon; li kouri antoure peyi Cush la.
The name of the second river is Gihon; it winds through the whole land of Cush.
14 Yo rele twazyèm rivyè Tigrès; li koule nan lès Assyrie. Epi katriyèm rivyè a se Euphrate.
The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it runs along the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 Alò, Senyè Bondye a te pran lòm nan; Li te mete l nan jaden Eden pou kiltive li e pran swen li.
Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
16 Senyè Bondye a te kòmande lòm nan. Li te di l: “Nan nenpòt sa nan jaden an, ou kapab manje,
And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,
17 men sou ab konesans bon avèk mal la, ou pa pou manje li, paske nan jou ke ou manje li, ou va 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 Alò, Senyè Bondye a te di: “Sa pa bon pou lòm nan rete sèl. Mwen va fè yon asistan jan li dwe genyen”.
The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”
19 Sòti nan tè a, Senyè Bondye a te fòme chak bèt chan ak chak zwazo syèl la, e Li te mennen yo kote lòm po wè kòman li ta rele yo. Nenpòt jan li te rele yon kreyati vivan, sa te vin non li.
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 Lòm nan te bay non a tout bèt domestik yo, a tout zwazo syèl yo, e a chak bèt chan, men pou lòm nan, pa t gen yon asistan sanblab ak li.
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 Alò, Senyè Bondye a te fè yon Pwofon somèy pran lòm nan, e li te dòmi. Konsa, li te pran youn nan zo kòt li yo, e te fèmen chè a nan plas li.
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 Senyè Bondye a te fòme yon fanm avèk kòt ke Li te pran nan lòm nan, e Li te pote li bay li.
And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.
23 Lòm nan te di: “Koulye a sa se zo a zo mwen, e chè a chè mwen. Li va rele fanm akoz li te retire nan lòm.
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 “Pou rezon sila a, yon nonm va kite papa li avèk manman li, pou vin jwenn avèk madanm li, epi yo va vin tounen yon sèl chè.”
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
25 Epi lòm nan avèk fanm nan te toutouni, e yo pa t wont.
And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
