Genesis 2
1 Igitur perfecti sunt cæli et terra, et omnis ornatus eorum.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 Complevitque Deus die septimo opus suum quod fecerat: et requievit die septimo ab universo opere quod patrarat.
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had 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 that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
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 when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.
5 et omne virgultum agri antequam oriretur in terra, omnemque herbam regionis priusquam germinaret: non enim pluerat Dominus Deus super terram, et homo non erat qui operaretur terram:
And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and [there was] not a man to till the ground.
6 sed fons ascendebat e terra, irrigans universam superficiem terræ.
But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 Formavit igitur Dominus Deus hominem de limo terræ, et inspiravit in faciem ejus spiraculum vitæ, et factus est homo in animam viventem.
And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 Plantaverat autem Dominus Deus paradisum voluptatis a principio, in quo posuit hominem quem formaverat.
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put 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 out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10 Et fluvius egrediebatur de loco voluptatis ad irrigandum paradisum, qui inde dividitur in quatuor capita.
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden: and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
11 Nomen uni Phison: ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Hevilath, ubi nascitur aurum:
The name of the first [is] Pison, which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, 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 [is] bdellium and the onyx-stone.
13 Et nomen fluvii secundi Gehon; ipse est qui circumit omnem terram Æthiopiæ.
And the name of the second river [is] Gihon: the same that compasseth 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: which floweth toward the east of Assyria. 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, and put him into the garden of Eden, to dress it, and to keep it.
16 præcepitque ei, dicens: Ex omni ligno paradisi comede;
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of 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, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt surely die.
18 Dixit quoque Dominus Deus: Non est bonum esse hominem solum: faciamus ei adjutorium simile sibi.
And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone: I will make him a help meet for 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 ejus.
And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air, and brought [them] to Adam to see what he would call them; and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] its name.
20 Appellavitque Adam nominibus suis cuncta animantia, et universa volatilia cæli, et omnes bestias terræ: Adæ vero non inveniebatur adjutor similis ejus.
And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowls of the air, and to every beast of the field: but for Adam there was not found a help meet for him.
21 Immisit ergo Dominus Deus soporem in Adam: cumque obdormisset, tulit unam de costis ejus, et replevit carnem pro ea.
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
22 Et ædificavit Dominus Deus costam, quam tulerat de Adam, in mulierem: et adduxit eam ad Adam.
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, he made woman, and brought 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 Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of man.
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 shall be one flesh.
25 Erat autem uterque nudus, Adam scilicet et uxor ejus: et non erubescebant.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
