< Genesis 2 >

1 igitur perfecti sunt caeli et terra et omnis ornatus eorum
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 conplevitque 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 istae generationes caeli et terrae quando creatae sunt in die quo fecit Dominus Deus caelum 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 oreretur 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 upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6 sed fons ascendebat e terra inrigans 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
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 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 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 there it was parted, and became into four heads.
11 nomen uni Phison ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Evilat ubi nascitur aurum
The name of the first is Pison: which goest around 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 fluvio secundo Geon ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Aethiopiae
And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same that goest around 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: 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 tend 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 of it thou shalt 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; I will make him an 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 to Adam to see what he would call them: and whatever Adam called every living creature, 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 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 an help meet for him.
21 inmisit 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 Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place;
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 man, he made a woman, and brought her to 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 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 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 shall be one flesh.
25 erant autem uterque nudi Adam scilicet et uxor eius et non erubescebant
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
