Genesis 2
1 Igitur perfecti sunt cæli et terra, et omnis ornatus eorum.
And the heavens and the earth were finished, and the whole world of them.
2 Complevitque Deus die septimo opus suum quod fecerat: et requievit die septimo ab universo opere quod patrarat.
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 Et benedixit diei septimo; et sanctificavit illum: quia in ipso cessaverat ab omni opere suo quod creavit Deus ut faceret.
And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he ceased from all his works which God began to do.
4 Istæ sunt generationes cæli et terræ, quando creata sunt, in die quo fecit Dominus Deus cælum et terram:
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 Et omne virgultum agri antequam orietur in terra, omnemque herbam regionis priusquam germinaret: non enim pluerat Dominus Deus super terram, et homo non erat qui operaretur terram:
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 Sed fons ascendebat e terra, irrigans universam superficiem terræ.
But there rose a fountain out of the earth, and watered the whole face of the earth.
7 Formavit igitur Dominus Deus hominem de limo terræ, et inspiravit in faciem eius spiraculum vitæ, et factus est homo in animam viventem.
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 Plantaverat autem Dominus Deus Paradisum voluptatis a principio: in quo posuit hominem quem formaverat.
And God planted a garden eastward in Edem, and placed there the man whom he had formed.
9 Produxitque Dominus Deus de humo omne lignum pulchrum visu, et ad vescendum suave: lignum etiam vitæ in medio Paradisi, lignumque scientiæ boni et mali.
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 Et fluvius egrediebatur de loco voluptatis ad irrigandum Paradisum, qui inde dividitur in quatuor capita.
And a river proceeds out of Edem to water the garden, thence it divides itself into four heads.
11 Nomen uni Phison: ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Hevilath, ubi nascitur aurum:
The name of the one, Phisom, this it is which encircles the whole land of Evilat, where there is gold.
12 et aurum terræ illius optimum est: ibi invenitur bdellium, et lapis onychinus.
And the gold of that land is good, there also is carbuncle and emerald.
13 Et nomen fluvii secundi Gehon: ipse est qui circumit omnem terram Æthiopiæ.
And the name of the second river is Geon, this it is which encircles the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 Nomen vero fluminis tertii, Tigris: ipse vadit contra Assyrios. Fluvius autem quartus, ipse est Euphrates.
And the third river is Tigris, this is that which flows forth over against the Assyrians. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 Tulit ergo Dominus Deus hominem, et posuit eum in Paradiso voluptatis, ut operaretur, et custodiret illum:
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 Præcepitque ei dicens: Ex omni ligno Paradisi comede:
And the Lord God gave a charge to Adam, saying, Of every tree which is in the garden thou mayest freely eat,
17 De ligno autem scientiæ boni et mali ne comedas. In quocumque enim die comederis ex eo, morte morieris.
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 Dixit quoque Dominus Deus: Non est bonum esse hominem solum: faciamus ei adiutorium simile sibi.
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 Formatis igitur, Dominus Deus, de humo cunctis animantibus terræ, et universis volatilibus cæli, adduxit ea ad Adam, ut videret quid vocaret ea: omne enim quod vocavit Adam animæ viventis, ipsum est nomen eius.
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 Appellavitque Adam nominibus suis cuncta animantia, et universa volatilia cæli, et omnes bestias terræ: Adæ vero non inveniebatur adiutor similis eius.
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 Immisit ergo Dominus Deus soporem in Adam: cumque obdormisset, tulit unam de costis eius, et replevit carnem pro ea.
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 Et ædificavit Dominus Deus costam, quam tulerat de Adam, in mulierem: et adduxit eam ad Adam.
And God formed the rib which he took from Adam into a woman, and brought her to Adam.
23 Dixitque Adam: Hoc nunc, os ex ossibus meis, et caro de carne mea: hæc vocabitur Virago, quoniam de viro sumpta est.
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 Quam ob rem relinquet homo patrem suum, et matrem, et adhærebit uxori suæ: et erunt duo in carne una.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
25 Erat autem uterque nudus, Adam scilicet et uxor eius: et non erubescebant.
