< 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 finished, and all the host 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 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 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 that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
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.
These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
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 plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6 Men yon vapè te konn leve sòti nan tè a pou wouze tout sifas li.
But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face 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.
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and 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 the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put 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 out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the middle of the garden, and the tree of 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 went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became into four heads.
11 Premye rivyè a rele Pischon; li pase antoure tout peyi Havila, kote ki gen lò a.
The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasses 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 good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 Dezyèm rivyè a rele Guihon; li kouri antoure peyi Cush la.
And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasses the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 Yo rele twazyèm rivyè Tigrès; li koule nan lès Assyrie. Epi katriyèm rivyè a se Euphrate.
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goes toward the east of Assyria. 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, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to 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 the man, saying, Of every tree of 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, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat thereof 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; I will make him an help meet for 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 out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: and whatever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
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 cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
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 the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed 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 the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her to the man.
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 is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
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 join to his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 Epi lòm nan avèk fanm nan te toutouni, e yo pa t wont.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
