Genesis 2
1 Igitur perfecti sunt cæli et terra, et omnis ornatus eorum.
And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;
2 Complevitque Deus die septimo opus suum quod fecerat: et requievit die septimo ab universo opere quod patrarat.
and God completes by the seventh day His work which He has made, and ceases by the seventh day from all His work which He has made.
3 Et benedixit diei septimo; et sanctificavit illum: quia in ipso cessaverat ab omni opere suo quod creavit Deus ut faceret.
And God blesses the seventh day, and sanctifies it, for in it He has ceased from all His work which God had created for making.
4 Istæ sunt generationes cæli et terræ, quando creata sunt, in die quo fecit Dominus Deus cælum et terram:
These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth in their being created, in the day of YHWH God’s making the earth and the heavens;
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 no shrub of the field is yet in the earth, and no herb of the field yet sprouts, for YHWH God has not rained on the earth, and there is not a man to serve the ground,
6 Sed fons ascendebat e terra, irrigans universam superficiem terræ.
and a mist goes up from the earth, and has watered the whole face of the ground.
7 Formavit igitur Dominus Deus hominem de limo terræ, et inspiravit in faciem eius spiraculum vitæ, et factus est homo in animam viventem.
And YHWH God forms the man—dust from the ground, and breathes into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becomes a living creature.
8 Plantaverat autem Dominus Deus Paradisum voluptatis a principio: in quo posuit hominem quem formaverat.
And YHWH God plants a garden in Eden, at the east, and He sets there the man whom He has 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 YHWH God causes to sprout from the ground every tree desirable for appearance, 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 Et fluvius egrediebatur de loco voluptatis ad irrigandum Paradisum, qui inde dividitur in quatuor capita.
And a river is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from there it is parted, and has become four chief [rivers];
11 Nomen uni Phison: ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Hevilath, ubi nascitur aurum:
the name of the first [is] Pison, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Havilah where the gold [is],
12 et aurum terræ illius optimum est: ibi invenitur bdellium, et lapis onychinus.
and the gold of that land [is] good; the bdellium and the shoham stone [are] there;
13 Et nomen fluvii secundi Gehon: ipse est qui circumit omnem terram Æthiopiæ.
and the name of the second river [is] Gihon, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Cush;
14 Nomen vero fluminis tertii, Tigris: ipse vadit contra Assyrios. Fluvius autem quartus, ipse est Euphrates.
and the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel, it [is] that which is going east of Asshur; and the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 Tulit ergo Dominus Deus hominem, et posuit eum in Paradiso voluptatis, ut operaretur, et custodiret illum:
And YHWH God takes the man, and causes him to rest in the Garden of Eden, to serve it and to keep it.
16 Præcepitque ei dicens: Ex omni ligno Paradisi comede:
And YHWH God lays a charge on the man, saying, “From every tree of the garden eating you eat;
17 De ligno autem scientiæ boni et mali ne comedas. In quocumque enim die comederis ex eo, morte morieris.
but from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, you do not eat from it, for in the day of your eating from it—dying you die.”
18 Dixit quoque Dominus Deus: Non est bonum esse hominem solum: faciamus ei adiutorium simile sibi.
And YHWH God says, “[It is] not good for the man to be alone; I make him a helper as his counterpart.”
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 YHWH God forms from the ground every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens, and brings [them] to the man, to see what he calls it; and whatever the man calls a living creature, that [is] its name.
20 Appellavitque Adam nominibus suis cuncta animantia, et universa volatilia cæli, et omnes bestias terræ: Adæ vero non inveniebatur adiutor similis eius.
And the man calls names to all the livestock, and to bird of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but for man a helper has not been found as his counterpart.
21 Immisit ergo Dominus Deus soporem in Adam: cumque obdormisset, tulit unam de costis eius, et replevit carnem pro ea.
And YHWH God causes a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he sleeps, and He takes one of his ribs, and closes up flesh in its stead.
22 Et ædificavit Dominus Deus costam, quam tulerat de Adam, in mulierem: et adduxit eam ad Adam.
And YHWH God builds up the rib which He has taken out of the man into a woman, and brings her to the man;
23 Dixitque Adam: Hoc nunc, os ex ossibus meis, et caro de carne mea: hæc vocabitur Virago, quoniam de viro sumpta est.
and the man says, “This at last! Bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!” For this is called Woman, for this has been taken from Man;
24 Quam ob rem relinquet homo patrem suum, et matrem, et adhærebit uxori suæ: et erunt duo in carne una.
therefore a man leaves his father and his mother, and has cleaved to his wife, and they have become one flesh.
25 Erat autem uterque nudus, Adam scilicet et uxor eius: et non erubescebant.
And both of them are naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
