Genesis 2
1 Igitur perfecti sunt caeli et terra, et omnis ornatus eorum.
And the heaven 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 finished 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 hallowed it; because that in it He rested from all His work which God in creating had made.
4 Istae sunt generationes caeli et terrae, quando creata sunt, in die quo fecit Dominus Deus caelum et terram:
These are the generations of the heaven and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made earth and heaven.
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:
No shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground;
6 Sed fons ascendebat e terra, irrigans universam superficiem terrae.
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 terrae, et inspiravit in faciem eius spiraculum vitae, et factus est homo in animam viventem.
Then 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 vitae in medio paradisi, lignumque scientiae 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 the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Et fluvius egrediebatur de loco voluptatis ad irrigandum paradisum, qui inde dividitur in quattuor capita.
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four heads.
11 Nomen uni Phison: ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Hevilath, ubi nascitur aurum:
The name of the first is Pishon; that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 et aurum terrae illius optimum est: ibique 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 Aethiopiae.
And the name of the second river is Gihon; the same is it 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 Tigris; that is it which goeth toward the east of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 Tulit ergo Dominus Deus hominem, et posuit eum in paradisum 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 Praecepitque 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 scientiae 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 thereof thou shalt 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; I will make him a help meet for him.'
19 Formatis igitur, Dominus Deus, de humo cunctis animantibus terrae, et universis volatilibus caeli, adduxit ea ad Adam, ut videret quid vocaret ea: omne enim quod vocavit Adam animae viventis, ipsum est nomen eius.
And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them; and whatsoever the man would call every living creature, that was to be the name thereof.
20 Appellavitque Adam nominibus suis cuncta animantia, et universa volatilia caeli, et omnes bestias terrae: Adae vero non inveniebatur adiutor similis eius.
And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl 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 eius, et replevit carnem pro ea.
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the place with flesh instead thereof.
22 Et aedificavit Dominus Deus costam, quam tulerat de Adam, in mulierem: et adduxit eam ad Adam.
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from the man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 Dixitque Adam: Hoc nunc, os ex ossibus meis, et caro de carne mea: haec vocabitur Virago, quoniam de viro sumpta est.
And the man 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 Quamobrem relinquet homo patrem suum, et matrem, et adhaerebit uxori suae: et erunt duo in carne una.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh.
25 Erat autem uterque nudus, Adam scilicet et uxor eius: et non erubescebant.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
