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 completeth by the seventh day His work which He hath made, and ceaseth by the seventh day from all His work which He hath made.
3 Et benedixit diei septimo, et sanctificavit illum, quia in ipso cessaverat ab omni opere suo quod creavit Deus ut faceret.
And God blesseth the seventh day, and sanctifieth it, for in it He hath ceased from all His work which God had prepared for making.
4 Istæ sunt generationes cæli et terræ, quando creata sunt, in die quo fecit Dominus Deus cælum et terram,
These [are] births of the heavens and of the earth in their being prepared, in the day of Jehovah God's making earth and 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 no shrub of the field is yet in the earth, and no herb of the field yet sprouteth, for Jehovah God hath not rained upon the earth, and a man there is not to serve the ground,
6 sed fons ascendebat e terra, irrigans universam superficiem terræ.
and a mist goeth up from the earth, and hath 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 Jehovah God formeth the man — dust from the ground, and breatheth into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becometh a living creature.
8 Plantaverat autem Dominus Deus paradisum voluptatis a principio, in quo posuit hominem quem formaverat.
And Jehovah God planteth a garden in Eden, at the east, and He setteth there the man whom He hath 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 Jehovah God causeth 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 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 thence it is parted, and hath become four chief [rivers];
11 Nomen uni Phison: ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Hevilath, ubi nascitur aurum:
the name of the one [is] Pison, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of the 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, there [is] the bdolach and the shoham stone;
13 Et nomen fluvii secundi Gehon; ipse est qui circumit omnem terram Æthiopiæ.
and the name of the second river [is] Gibon, 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 Phrat.
15 Tulit ergo Dominus Deus hominem, et posuit eum in paradiso voluptatis, ut operaretur, et custodiret illum:
And Jehovah God taketh the man, and causeth 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 Jehovah God layeth a charge on the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat;
17 de ligno autem scientiæ boni et mali ne comedas: in quocumque enim die comederis ex eo, morte morieris.
and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it — dying thou dost die.'
18 Dixit quoque Dominus Deus: Non est bonum esse hominem solum: faciamus ei adjutorium simile sibi.
And Jehovah God saith, 'Not good for the man to be alone, I do make to him an 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 ejus.
And Jehovah God formeth from the ground every beast of the field, and every fowl of the heavens, and bringeth in unto the man, to see what he doth call it; and whatever the man calleth 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 adjutor similis ejus.
And the man calleth names to all the cattle, and to fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; and to man hath not been found an helper — as his counterpart.
21 Immisit ergo Dominus Deus soporem in Adam: cumque obdormisset, tulit unam de costis ejus, et replevit carnem pro ea.
And Jehovah God causeth a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he sleepeth, and He taketh one of his ribs, and closeth up flesh in its stead.
22 Et ædificavit Dominus Deus costam, quam tulerat de Adam, in mulierem: et adduxit eam ad Adam.
And Jehovah God buildeth up the rib which He hath taken out of the man into a woman, and bringeth her in unto 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 saith, 'This [is] the [proper] step! bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!' for this it is called Woman, for from a man hath this been taken;
24 Quam ob rem relinquet homo patrem suum, et matrem, et adhærebit uxori suæ: et erunt duo in carne una.
therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and hath cleaved unto his wife, and they have become one flesh.
25 Erat autem uterque nudus, Adam scilicet et uxor ejus: et non erubescebant.
And they are both of them naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
