< Jenesis 2 >

1 Otu a ka e si rụzuo ọrụ ike eluigwe na ụwa na ihe niile dị nʼime ha.
And the heavens and the earth were finished, and the whole world of them.
2 Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, Chineke kwụsịrị ọrụ ya nke ọ na-arụ, o zukwara ike site nʼọrụ ya niile.
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 Chineke gọziri ụbọchị nke asaa ahụ mee ya ka ọ bụrụ ụbọchị dị nsọ, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼụbọchị ahụ ka ọ zuru ike site nʼọrụ nke ike ihe niile.
And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he ceased from all his works which God began to do.
4 Nke a bụ akụkọ banyere usoro okike eluigwe na ụwa mgbe e kere ha, nʼụbọchị ahụ mgbe Onyenwe anyị Chineke kere eluigwe na ụwa.
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 Ahịhịa ọbụla epupụtabeghị nʼọhịa, o nwekwaghị ihe ubi ọbụla sitere nʼala pupụta, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke ezitebeghị mmiri ozuzo nʼelu ụwa, o nwekwaghị mmadụ ọbụla nọ na-arụ ọrụ ubi,
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 ma mmiri si nʼala na-asọpụta na-asọ nʼelu ala niile.
But there rose a fountain out of the earth, and watered the whole face of the earth.
7 Onyenwe anyị Chineke kpụrụ mmadụ site nʼaja nke ala, kunye ya ume ndụ nʼimi ya, nke mere ka mmadụ ghọọ ihe dị ndụ.
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 Onyenwe anyị Chineke kụrụ ubi a gbara ogige nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, nʼIden. O tinyere mmadụ ahụ ọ kpụrụ nʼime ubi a.
And God planted a garden eastward in Edem, and placed there the man whom he had formed.
9 Onyenwe anyị Chineke mere ka osisi dị iche iche si nʼala pupụta, osisi ndị dị mma ile anya na nke dịkwa mma iri eri. Nʼetiti ogige a, e nwere osisi na-enye ndụ, na osisi nke ịmata ihe ọma na ihe ọjọọ.
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 E nwere iyi si nʼIden na-asọpụta na-asọbanye nʼime ogige ahụ ime ka ala ahụ nwee mmiri. Site nʼebe ahụ, iyi a kewara nwee ngalaba anọ.
And a river proceeds out of Edem to water the garden, thence it divides itself into four heads.
11 Aha ngalaba nke mbụ bụ Paịshọn. Ọ sọọrọ ogologo gafee ala niile nke Havila, ebe a na-enweta ọlaedo.
The name of the one, Phisom, this it is which encircles the whole land of Evilat, where there is gold.
12 (Ọlaedo dị nʼala ahụ mara mma. Eso osisi na-esi isi ụtọ na nkume dị oke ọnụahịa a na-akpọ ọniks dịkwa nʼebe ahụ.)
And the gold of that land is good, there also is carbuncle and emerald.
13 Aha ngalaba nke abụọ bụ Gaihọn. O sitere nʼala Kush gafee.
And the name of the second river is Geon, this it is which encircles the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 Aha osimiri nke atọ bụ Taịgris. Ọ na-asọla nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ nke ala Ashọ. Aha osimiri nke anọ bụ Yufretis.
And the third river is Tigris, this is that which flows forth over against the Assyrians. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 Onyenwe anyị Chineke weere mmadụ ahụ tinye ya nʼogige Iden, ka ọ na-akọ ya ma bụrụkwa onye na-elekọta ya.
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 Onyenwe anyị Chineke nyere mmadụ ahụ iwu sị ya “I nwere ike iri mkpụrụ osisi niile dị nʼubi a,
And the Lord God gave a charge to Adam, saying, Of every tree which is in the garden thou mayest freely eat,
17 ma ị gaghị eri mkpụrụ si nʼosisi ịmata ihe ọma na ihe ọjọọ. Nʼihi na ụbọchị i riri ya ị ga-anwụrịrị.”
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil—of it ye shall not eat, but in whatsoever day ye eat of it, ye shall surely die.
18 Onyenwe anyị Chineke kwuru sị, “Ọ dịghị mma ka nwoke nọrọ naanị ya. Aga m emere ya onye inyeaka nke kwesiri ya.”
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 Onyenwe anyị Chineke sitere nʼala kpụọ ụmụ anụmanụ niile nke ọhịa na ụmụ anụ ufe niile nke eluigwe. O dutere ha ka ọ mara ihe mmadụ ahụ ga-akpọ ha. Ihe ọbụla mmadụ ahụ kpọrọ ihe ọbụla ndị a nwere ndụ, nke ahụ bụkwa aha ya.
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 Ya mere, mmadụ ahụ nyere anụ ụlọ niile na anụ ufe niile na anụ ọhịa niile aha. Ma nʼebe Adam nọ, o nweghị onye inyeaka kwesiri ya.
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 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị Chineke mere ka nwoke ahụ daa nʼụra. Mgbe ọ nọ na-arahụ ụra, o wepụtara otu ọgịrịga site na ngụ dị ya nʼahụ, mechikwaa ebe o si wepụta ya.
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 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị Chineke ji otu ọgịrịga o si nʼahụ nwoke ahụ wepụta, mee nwanyị, dutere ya nwoke ahụ.
And God formed the rib which he took from Adam into a woman, and brought her to Adam.
23 Nwoke ahụ kwuru sị, “Nke a bụ ọkpụkpụ si nʼọkpụkpụ m, na anụ ahụ si nʼahụ m, a ga-akpọ ya ‘nwanyị,’ nʼihi na e si nʼime nwoke wepụta ya.”
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 Ọ bụ nke a mere nwoke ga-eji hapụ nne na nna ya, e jikọta ya na nwunye ya, ha ga-abụ otu anụ ahụ.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
25 Nwoke ahụ na nwunye ya gba ọtọ, ma ihere emeghị ha.
