1 Otu a ka e si rụzuo ọrụ ike eluigwe na ụwa na ihe niile dị nʼime ha.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.
2 Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, Chineke kwụsịrị ọrụ ya nke ọ na-arụ, o zukwara ike site nʼọrụ ya niile.
And on the sixth day God finished his works which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his works 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.
So God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested on it from all his works which God had created and made.
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 account of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, at the time when God made the earth and the 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,
Now no bush of the field was yet in the land, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted; for God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there were no people to cultivate the ground,
6 ma mmiri si nʼala na-asọpụta na-asọ nʼelu ala niile.
but springs came up from the earth and watered 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 God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
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 Eden, and there he put 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 out of the ground God made every tree to grow 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 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 there it separated and became the source of four rivers.
11 Aha ngalaba nke mbụ bụ Paịshọn. Ọ sọọrọ ogologo gafee ala niile nke Havila, ebe a na-enweta ọlaedo.
The name of the first is Pishon; this is the one which goes around the whole land of Havilah, 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 is aromatic resin and the onyx stone.
13 Aha ngalaba nke abụọ bụ Gaihọn. O sitere nʼala Kush gafee.
And the name of the second river is Gihon; it goes around 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; this is the one which flows east of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Perath.
15 Onyenwe anyị Chineke weere mmadụ ahụ tinye ya nʼogige Iden, ka ọ na-akọ ya ma bụrụkwa onye na-elekọta ya.
And God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and take care of it.
16 Onyenwe anyị Chineke nyere mmadụ ahụ iwu sị ya “I nwere ike iri mkpụrụ osisi niile dị nʼubi a,
And God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may 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, you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat of it you will 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 God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for 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 out of the ground God formed every tame animal, and every wild animal, and every flying creature of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called each living creature, 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 the man gave names to all the tame animals, and to all the flying creatures of the sky, and to every wild animal; but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.
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.
So God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh at that place.
22 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị Chineke ji otu ọgịrịga o si nʼahụ nwoke ahụ wepụta, mee nwanyị, dutere ya nwoke ahụ.
And the rib that God had taken from the man he fashioned into a woman and brought her to the 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 the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because this one was taken out of 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 a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
25 Nwoke ahụ na nwunye ya gba ọtọ, ma ihere emeghị ha.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
