Genesis 2
1 igitur perfecti sunt caeli et terra et omnis ornatus eorum
The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished.
2 conplevitque Deus die septimo opus suum quod fecerat et requievit die septimo ab universo opere quod patrarat
On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.
3 et benedixit diei septimo et sanctificavit illum quia in ipso cessaverat ab omni opere suo quod creavit Deus ut faceret
God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done.
4 istae generationes caeli et terrae quando creatae sunt in die quo fecit Dominus Deus caelum et terram
This is the history of 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
No plant 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 on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,
6 sed fons ascendebat e terra inrigans universam superficiem terrae
but a mist went up from the earth, and watered 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
The LORD God formed man from 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
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
Out of the ground the LORD God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle 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
A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers.
11 nomen uni Phison ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Evilat ubi nascitur aurum
The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through 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. Bdellium and onyx stone are also there.
13 et nomen fluvio secundo Geon ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Aethiopiae
The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush.
14 nomen vero fluminis tertii Tigris ipse vadit contra Assyrios fluvius autem quartus ipse est Eufrates
The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 tulit ergo Dominus Deus hominem et posuit eum in paradiso voluptatis ut operaretur et custodiret illum
The LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
16 praecepitque ei dicens ex omni ligno paradisi comede
The LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
17 de ligno autem scientiae boni et mali ne comedas in quocumque enim die comederis ex eo morte morieris
but you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”
18 dixit quoque Dominus Deus non est bonum esse hominem solum faciamus ei adiutorium similem sui
The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable 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
Out of the ground the LORD God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature became its name.
20 appellavitque Adam nominibus suis cuncta animantia et universa volatilia caeli et omnes bestias terrae Adam vero non inveniebatur adiutor similis eius
The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper comparable to him.
21 inmisit ergo Dominus Deus soporem in Adam cumque obdormisset tulit unam de costis eius et replevit carnem pro ea
The LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. As the man slept, 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
The LORD God made a woman from the rib which he had taken from the man, 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
The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will 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 a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.
25 erant autem uterque nudi Adam scilicet et uxor eius et non erubescebant
The man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
