Genesis 2
1 igitur perfecti sunt caeli et terra et omnis ornatus eorum
And the heavens and the earth were finished, and the whole world of them.
2 conplevitque Deus die septimo opus suum quod fecerat et requievit die septimo ab universo opere quod patrarat
And God finished on the sixth day his works which he made, and he ceased on the seventh day from all his works which he 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 in it he ceased from all his works which God began to do.
4 istae generationes caeli et terrae quando creatae sunt in die quo fecit Dominus Deus caelum et terram
This [is] the book of the generation of heaven and earth, when they were made, in the day in which the Lord God made the heaven and the earth,
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 herb of the field before it was on the earth, and all the grass of the field before it sprang up, for God had not rained on the earth, and there was not a man to cultivate it.
6 sed fons ascendebat e terra inrigans universam superficiem terrae
But there rose a fountain out of the earth, and watered the whole face of the earth.
7 formavit igitur Dominus Deus hominem de limo terrae et inspiravit in faciem eius spiraculum vitae et factus est homo in animam viventem
And God formed the man [of] dust of the earth, and breathed upon his face the breath of life, and the man became a living soul.
8 plantaverat autem Dominus Deus paradisum voluptatis a principio in quo posuit hominem quem formaverat
And God planted a garden eastward in Edem, and placed there 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 God made to spring up also out of the earth every tree beautiful to the eye and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of learning 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 proceeds out of Edem to water the garden, thence it divides itself into four heads.
11 nomen uni Phison ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Evilat ubi nascitur aurum
The name of the one, Phisom, this it is which encircles the whole land of Evilat, 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 also is carbuncle and emerald.
13 et nomen fluvio secundo Geon ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Aethiopiae
And the name of the second river is Geon, this it is which encircles the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 nomen vero fluminis tertii Tigris ipse vadit contra Assyrios fluvius autem quartus ipse est Eufrates
And the third river is Tigris, this is that which flows forth over against the Assyrians. 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 whom he had formed, and placed him in the garden of Delight, to cultivate and keep it.
16 praecepitque ei dicens ex omni ligno paradisi comede
And the Lord God gave a charge to Adam, saying, Of every tree which is in the garden you may 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—of it you shall not eat, but in whatever day you eat of it, you shall surely die.
18 dixit quoque Dominus Deus non est bonum esse hominem solum faciamus ei adiutorium similem sui
And the Lord God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone, let us make for him a help suitable to 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 God formed yet farther out of the earth all the wild beasts of the field, and all the birds of the sky, and he brought them to Adam, to see what he would call them, and whatever Adam called any living creature, that was the name of it.
20 appellavitque Adam nominibus suis cuncta animantia et universa volatilia caeli et omnes bestias terrae Adam vero non inveniebatur adiutor similis eius
And Adam gave names to all the cattle and to all the birds of the sky, and to all the wild beasts of the field, but for Adam there was not found a help like to himself.
21 inmisit ergo Dominus Deus soporem in Adam cumque obdormisset tulit unam de costis eius et replevit carnem pro ea
And God brought a trance upon Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs, and filled up the flesh instead thereof.
22 et aedificavit Dominus Deus costam quam tulerat de Adam in mulierem et adduxit eam ad Adam
And God formed the rib which he took from Adam into a woman, and brought her to Adam.
23 dixitque Adam hoc nunc os ex ossibus meis et caro de carne mea haec vocabitur virago quoniam de viro sumpta est
And Adam said, This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of her husband.
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 shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
25 erant autem uterque nudi Adam scilicet et uxor eius et non erubescebant
