창세기 2
1 천지와 만물이 다 이루니라
That is the way God created the heavens and the earth.
2 하나님의 지으시던 일이 일곱째 날이 이를 때에 마치니 그 지으시던 일이 다하므로 일곱째 날에 안식하시니라
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 하나님이 일곱째 날을 복 주사 거룩하게 하셨으니 이는 하나님이 그 창조하시며 만드시던 모든 일을 마치시고 이 날에 안식하셨음이더라
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 여호와 하나님이 천지를 창조하신 때에 천지의 창조된 대략이 이러하니라
That is how God created the heavens and the earth. God, whose name is Yahweh, made the heavens and the earth.
5 여호와 하나님이 땅에 비를 내리지 아니하셨고 경작할 사람도 없었으므로 들에는 초목이 아직 없었고 밭에는 채소가 나지 아니하였으며
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 안개만 땅에서 올라와 온 지면을 적셨더라
Instead, mist rose up from the ground, so that it watered the surface of the ground.
7 여호와 하나님이 흙으로 사람을 지으시고 생기를 그 코에 불어 넣으시니 사람이 생령이 된지라
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 여호와 하나님이 동방의 에덴에 동산을 창설하시고 그 지으신 사람을 거기 두시고
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 여호와 하나님이 그 땅에서 보기에 아름답고 먹기에 좋은 나무가 나게 하시니 동산 가운데에는 생명나무와 선악을 알게하는 나무도 있더라
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 강이 에덴에서 발원하여 동산을 적시고 거기서부터 갈라져 네 근원이 되었으니
A river flowed from Eden to provide water for the park/garden. Outside of Eden, the river divided into four rivers.
11 첫째의 이름은 비손이라 금이 있는 하윌라 온 땅에 둘렸으며
The name of the first river is Pishon. That river flows through all the land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 그 땅의 금은 정금이요 그 곳에는 베델리엄과 호마노도 있으며
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 둘째 강의 이름은 기혼이라 구스 온 땅에 둘렸고
The name of the second river is Gihon. That river flows through all the land of Cain.
14 세째 강의 이름은 힛데겔이라 앗수르 동편으로 흐르며 네째 강은 유브라데더라
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 여호와 하나님이 그 사람을 이끌어 에덴 동산에 두사 그것을 다스리며 지키게 하시고
Yahweh God took the man and put him in Eden park/garden to till/cultivate it and take care of it.
16 여호와 하나님이 그 사람에게 명하여 가라사대 동산 각종 나무의 실과는 네가 임의로 먹되
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 선악을 알게하는 나무의 실과는 먹지 말라! 네가 먹는 날에는 정녕 죽으리라! 하시니라
18 여호와 하나님이 가라사대 사람의 독처하는 것이 좋지 못하니 내가 그를 위하여 돕는 배필을 지으리라 하시니라
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 여호와 하나님이 흙으로 각종 들짐승과 공중의 각종 새를 지으시고 아담이 어떻게 이름을 짓나 보시려고 그것들을 그에게로 이끌어 이르시니 아담이 각 생물을 일컫는 바가 곧 그 이름이라
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 아담이 모든 육축과 공중의 새와 들의 모든 짐승에게 이름을 주니라 아담이 돕는 배필이 없으므로
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 여호와 하나님이 아담을 깊이 잠들게 하시니 잠들매 그가 그 갈빗대 하나를 취하고 살로 대신 채우시고
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 여호와 하나님이 아담에게서 취하신 그 갈빗대로 여자를 만드시고 그를 아담에게로 이끌어 오시니
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 아담이 가로되 `이는 내 뼈 중의 뼈요! 살 중의 살이라! 이것을 남자에게서 취하였은즉 여자라 칭하리라' 하니라
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 이러므로 남자가 부모를 떠나 그 아내와 연합하여 둘이 한 몸을 이룰지로다!
[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 아담과 그 아내 두 사람이 벌거벗었으나 부끄러워 아니하니라
Although the man and his wife were naked, they were not ashamed about that.
