Kinohi 2
1 PELA i paa ai ka lani a me ka honua i ka hanaia, a me ko laila poe mea a pau.
That is the way God created the heavens and the earth.
2 A i ka hiku o ka la, hooki iho la ke Akua i ka hana ana i hana'i: a hoornaha iho la oia i kana hana a pau ana i hana'i.
By the time it was the seventh day, God had finished the work of creating everything, so he did not work any more on that day.
3 Hoomaikai mai la ke Akua i ka hiku o ka la, a hoano iho la; no ka mea, hoomaha iho la oia ia la i ka hana a pau a ke Akua i hana'i.
God blessed each seventh day, and he set those days apart to be special days, because on the seventh day God did not work any more, after finishing all his work of creating everything.
4 Eia ka mooolelo no ka lani a me ka honua i ka wa i hanaia'i ia mau mea, i ka la a Iehova a ke Akua i hana'i i ka honua a me ka lani.
That is how God created the heavens and the earth. God, whose name is Yahweh, made the heavens and the earth.
5 A me na mea kanu a pau o ka mahiuaai, i ka wa aole ia maloko o ka honua, a mo na launahele a pau o ke kula mamua o kona ulu ana: no ka mea, aole i hooua mai o Iehova ko Akua i ka ua maluna o ka honua, aole hoi he kanaka nana e mahi ka aina.
At first there were no plants growing, because Yahweh God had not yet caused rain to fall on the ground. Furthermore, there was no one to till the ground for planting crops.
6 Aka, pii aku la ka ohu mai ka honua aku, a hoomau iho la i ka ili a pau o ka aina.
Instead, mist rose up from the ground, so that it watered the surface of the ground.
7 Hana iho la o Iehova ke Akua i ke kanaka, he lepo o ka honua, a ha iho la ia i ka hanu ola iloko o na puka ihu ona; a lilo ae la ke kanaka i mea ola.
Then Yahweh God took some soil and formed a man. He breathed into the man’s nostrils his own breath that gives life, and as a result the man became a living person.
8 Kanu iho la o Iehova ke Akua i ka mahinaai maloko o Edena ma ka hikina; a malaila oia i hoonoho iho ai i ke kanaka ana i hana'i.
Yahweh God made a park/garden in a place named Eden, which was east of the land of Canaan, and he put there the man that he had created.
9 Hooulu ae la o Iehova ke Akua i na laau a pau mailoko ae o ka honua, i na mea oluolu no ka maka, i na mea ono hoi ke ai; i ka laau o ke ola hoi iwaena konu o ka mahinaai, a me ka laau i ikea'i ka pono a me ka hewa.
Yahweh God also put there every kind of tree that is beautiful to see and that produced fruit that was good to eat. He also placed in the middle of the park/garden a tree [whose fruit would enable those who ate it] to live forever. He also placed there another tree whose fruit would enable those who ate it to know what actions were good [to do] and what actions were evil [to do].
10 Kahe ae la kekahi muliwai mai Edena aku e hoomau i ka mahinaai; a malaila aku, manamana ae la ia a lilo i eha mana.
A river flowed from Eden to provide water for the park/garden. Outside of Eden, the river divided into four rivers.
11 O Pisona ka inoa o ka mua: oia no ka mea o hoopuni ana i ka aina a pau o Havila, he wahi gula ia;
The name of the first river is Pishon. That river flows through all the land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 A he maikai ke gula o ia aina: ilaila no ka deliuma a me ka pohaku onika.
That gold (is very pure/has no impurities in it). There is [also a sweet-smelling gum called] bdellium, and valuable stones called onyx.
13 O Gihona ka inoa o ka lua o ka muliwai: oia ka mea e hoopuni ana i ka aina a pau o Aitiopa.
The name of the second river is Gihon. That river flows through all the land of Cain.
14 O Hidekela ka inoa o ke kolu o ka muliwai: oia ka mea e kahe ana ma ka aoao hikina o Asuria. A o Euperate ka inoa o ka ha o ka muliwai.
The name of the third river is Tigris. It flows east of [the city of] Asshur. The name of the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 Lawe ae la o Iehova ke Akua i ke kanaka, a hoonoho iho la ia ia ma ka mahinaai ma Edena, e mahi a e malama ia wahi.
Yahweh God took the man and put him in Eden park/garden to till/cultivate it and take care of it.
16 Kauoha mai la o Iehova ke Akua i ke kanaka, i mai la, E ai wale oe i ko keia laau kela laau o ka mahinaai nei:
But Yahweh said to him, “You must not eat the fruit of the tree that will enable you to know what actions are good to do and what actions are evil to do. If you eat any fruit from that tree, on that day your relationship with me will end. But I will permit you to eat the fruit of any of the other trees in the park/garden.”
17 Aka, o ko ka laau i ikea ai ka pono a me ka hewa, mai ai iho oe ia mea: no ka mea, i kou la e ai ai ia mea, he oiaio no e make oe.
18 I iho la o Iehova ke Akua, Aole pono ke kanaka ke noho, oia wale; e hana no wau i kokoolua nona e ku ia ia.
Then Yahweh God said, “It is not good for this man to be alone. So I will make someone who will be a suitable partner for him.”
19 No ka lepo i hana'i o Iehova ke Akua i na holoholona a pau o ke kula, a me na manu a pau o ka lewa, a kai mai la ia lakou io Adamu la, i ikea na inoa a Adamu e kapa aku ai ia lakou: a o ka inoa a Adamu i kapa aku ai i na mea ola a pau, oia iho la kona inoa.
Yahweh God had taken some soil and had formed from it all kinds of animals and birds, and he brought them to the man to hear what names he would give them.
20 Kapa aku la o Adamu i na inoa no na holoholona laka a pau, a no na manu o ka lewa, a no na holoholona hihiu a pau; aka no Adamu, aole i loaa kona kokoolua e ku ia ia.
Then the man gave names to all the kinds of livestock and birds and wild animals, but none of these creatures was a partner that was suitable for the man.
21 Hookau mai la o Iehova ke Akua i ka hiamoe nui ia Adamu, a hiamoe iho la ia: unuhi ae la kela i kekahi iwiaoao ona, a hoopili iho la ia i ka io ma kona wahi.
So Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man was sleeping, Yahweh took out one of the man’s ribs. Then he immediately closed the opening in his body [and healed it].
22 A o ka iwiaoao a Iehova ke Akua i unuhi mai ai noloko mai o ke kanaka, hana iho la oia ia mea i wahine, a alakai ae la ia ia i ke hanaka.
Yahweh then made a woman from the rib that he had taken from the man’s body, and he brought her to the man.
23 I aku la o Adamu, Oia nei no ka iwi o kuu mau iwi, a me ka io o kuu io; e kapaia oia nei, wahine, no ka mea, ua unuhiia ae oia mailoko ae o ke kane.
The man exclaimed, “[Wow]! This is truly (someone like me/what I was looking for!) She is truly from my bones and from my flesh. So I will call her woman, because she was taken from me, a man.”
24 No keia mea, e haalele aku ke kanaka i kona makuakane a me kona makuwahine, a e pili aku oia i kana wahine: a e lilo laua i io hookahi.
[The first woman was taken from the man’s body, ] so that is why when a man and a woman marry, they must leave their parents. The man will join very closely to his wife, so that the two of them will be as though they are one person.
25 Aohe kapa o laua a elua, o ke kane a me kana wahine, aole hoi o laua hilahila.
Although the man and his wife were naked, they were not ashamed about that.
