1 Otu a ka e si rụzuo ọrụ ike eluigwe na ụwa na ihe niile dị nʼime ha.
And the heavens and the earth and all their host were finished.
2 Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, Chineke kwụsịrị ọrụ ya nke ọ na-arụ, o zukwara ike site nʼọrụ ya niile.
And God had finished on the seventh day his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had 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 hallowed it, because that on it he rested from all his work which God had created in making it.
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.
These are the histories of the heavens and the earth, when they were created, in the day that Jehovah Elohim made earth and heavens,
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 shrub of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew; for Jehovah Elohim had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground.
6 ma mmiri si nʼala na-asọpụta na-asọ nʼelu ala niile.
But a mist went up from the earth, and moistened the whole surface of the ground.
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 Jehovah Elohim formed Man, dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and 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 Jehovah Elohim planted a garden in Eden eastward, and there put 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 out of the ground Jehovah Elohim made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; and the tree of life, in the midst of the garden, and the tree of 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 went out of Eden, to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four main streams.
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 is Pison: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Havilah, where the gold is.
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; bdellium and the onyx stone are there.
13 Aha ngalaba nke abụọ bụ Gaihọn. O sitere nʼala Kush gafee.
And the name of the second river is Gihon: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Cush.
14 Aha osimiri nke atọ bụ Taịgris. Ọ na-asọla nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ nke ala Ashọ. Aha osimiri nke anọ bụ Yufretis.
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which flows forward toward Asshur. And the fourth river, that 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 Jehovah Elohim took Man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it and to guard it.
16 Onyenwe anyị Chineke nyere mmadụ ahụ iwu sị ya “I nwere ike iri mkpụrụ osisi niile dị nʼubi a,
And Jehovah Elohim commanded Man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt 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, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt certainly 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 Jehovah Elohim said, It is not good that Man should be alone; I will make him a helpmate, his like.
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 out of the ground Jehovah Elohim had formed every animal of the field and all fowl of the heavens, and brought [them] to Man, to see what he would call them; and whatever Man called each living soul, that was its name.
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 Man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but as for Adam, he found no helpmate, his like.
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 Jehovah Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon Man; and he slept. And he took one of his ribs and closed up flesh in its stead.
22 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị Chineke ji otu ọgịrịga o si nʼahụ nwoke ahụ wepụta, mee nwanyị, dutere ya nwoke ahụ.
And Jehovah Elohim built the rib that he had taken from Man into a woman; and brought her to Man.
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 Man said, This time it is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh: this shall be called Woman, because this was taken out of a man.
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 cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.
25 Nwoke ahụ na nwunye ya gba ọtọ, ma ihere emeghị ha.
And they were both naked, Man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
