Jenèz 2
1 Se te konsa syèl yo avèk tè a te fin fèt, avèk tout lame yo.
And the heavens and the earth were finished, and the whole world of them.
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 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 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.
And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he ceased from all his works which God began to do.
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 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 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.
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 te konn leve sòti nan tè a pou wouze tout sifas li.
But there rose a fountain out of the earth, and watered the whole face of the earth.
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.
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 Senyè Bondye a te plante yon jaden nan pati lès Eden, e se la Li te mete lòm ke Li te fòme a.
And God planted a garden eastward in Edem, and placed there the man whom 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.
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 Alò, yon rivyè te sòti nan Eden pou wouze jaden an. Epi soti la, li te divize ou fè kat rivyè.
And a river proceeds out of Edem to water the garden, thence it divides itself into four heads.
11 Premye rivyè a rele Pischon; li pase antoure tout peyi Havila, kote ki gen lò a.
The name of the one, Phisom, this it is which encircles the whole land of Evilat, where there is gold.
12 Lò peyi sa a bon; wòch bdelyèm avèk onyx konn twouve la.
And the gold of that land is good, there also is carbuncle and emerald.
13 Dezyèm rivyè a rele Guihon; li kouri antoure peyi Cush la.
And the name of the second river is Geon, this it is which encircles the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 Yo rele twazyèm rivyè Tigrès; li koule nan lès Assyrie. Epi katriyèm rivyè a se Euphrate.
And the third river is Tigris, this is that which flows forth over against the Assyrians. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 Alò, Senyè Bondye a te pran lòm nan; Li te mete l nan jaden Eden pou kiltive li e pran swen li.
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 Senyè Bondye a te kòmande lòm nan. Li te di l: “Nan nenpòt sa nan jaden an, ou kapab manje,
And the Lord God gave a charge to Adam, saying, Of every tree which is in the garden you may freely eat,
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 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 Alò, Senyè Bondye a te di: “Sa pa bon pou lòm nan rete sèl. Mwen va fè yon asistan jan li dwe genyen”.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 Senyè Bondye a te fòme yon fanm avèk kòt ke Li te pran nan lòm nan, e Li te pote li bay li.
And God formed the rib which he took from Adam into a woman, and brought her to Adam.
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 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 “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.”
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
25 Epi lòm nan avèk fanm nan te toutouni, e yo pa t wont.
