< Genesis 2 >

1 igitur perfecti sunt caeli et terra et omnis ornatus eorum
And the heavens and the earth and all their host were finished.
2 conplevitque Deus die septimo opus suum quod fecerat et requievit die septimo ab universo opere quod patrarat
And God had finished on the seventh day 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 on it he rested from all his work which God had created in making it.
4 istae generationes caeli et terrae quando creatae sunt in die quo fecit Dominus Deus caelum et terram
These are the histories of the heavens and the earth, when they were created, in the day that Jehovah Elohim made earth and heavens,
5 et omne virgultum agri antequam oreretur in terra omnemque herbam regionis priusquam germinaret non enim pluerat Dominus Deus super terram et homo non erat qui operaretur terram
and every shrub of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew; for Jehovah Elohim had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground.
6 sed fons ascendebat e terra inrigans universam superficiem terrae
But a mist went up from the earth, and moistened the whole surface 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
And Jehovah Elohim formed Man, 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 Jehovah Elohim planted a garden in Eden eastward, and there put 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 Jehovah Elohim made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight, 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 inrigandum 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 main streams.
11 nomen uni Phison ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Evilat ubi nascitur aurum
The name of the one is Pison: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Havilah, where the gold is.
12 et aurum terrae illius optimum est ibique invenitur bdellium et lapis onychinus
And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and the onyx stone are there.
13 et nomen fluvio secundo Geon ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Aethiopiae
And the name of the second river is Gihon: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Cush.
14 nomen vero fluminis tertii Tigris ipse vadit contra Assyrios fluvius autem quartus ipse est Eufrates
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which flows forward toward Asshur. And the fourth river, that is Euphrates.
15 tulit ergo Dominus Deus hominem et posuit eum in paradiso voluptatis ut operaretur et custodiret illum
And Jehovah Elohim took Man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it and to guard it.
16 praecepitque ei dicens ex omni ligno paradisi comede
And Jehovah Elohim commanded Man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt 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 of it thou shalt certainly die.
18 dixit quoque Dominus Deus non est bonum esse hominem solum faciamus ei adiutorium similem sui
And Jehovah Elohim said, It is not good that Man should be alone; I will make him a helpmate, his like.
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 Jehovah Elohim had formed every animal of the field and all fowl of the heavens, and brought [them] to Man, to see what he would call them; and whatever Man called each living soul, that was its name.
20 appellavitque Adam nominibus suis cuncta animantia et universa volatilia caeli et omnes bestias terrae Adam vero non inveniebatur adiutor similis eius
And Man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but as for Adam, he found no helpmate, his like.
21 inmisit ergo Dominus Deus soporem in Adam cumque obdormisset tulit unam de costis eius et replevit carnem pro ea
And Jehovah Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon Man; and he slept. And he took one of his ribs and closed up flesh in its stead.
22 et aedificavit Dominus Deus costam quam tulerat de Adam in mulierem et adduxit eam ad Adam
And Jehovah Elohim built the rib that he had taken from Man into a woman; and brought her to Man.
23 dixitque Adam hoc nunc os ex ossibus meis et caro de carne mea haec vocabitur virago quoniam de viro sumpta est
And Man said, This time it is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh: this shall be called Woman, because this was taken out of a man.
24 quam ob rem relinquet homo patrem suum et matrem et adherebit uxori suae et erunt duo in carne una
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.
25 erant autem uterque nudi Adam scilicet et uxor eius et non erubescebant
And they were both naked, Man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
