Ebandeli 2
1 Ezalaki bongo nde likolo mpe mokili ekelamaki elongo na biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango.
And the heaven and the earth and all things in them were complete.
2 Na mokolo ya sambo, Nzambe asilisaki mosala oyo asalaki. Boye, na mokolo ya sambo, akataki mosala nyonso oyo azalaki kosala.
And on the seventh day God came to the end of all his work; and on the seventh day he took his rest from all the work which he had done.
3 Nzambe apambolaki mokolo ya sambo, abulisaki yango, pamba te na mokolo yango nde akataki mosala nyonso ya kokela oyo azalaki kosala.
And God gave his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy: because on that day he took his rest from all the work which he had made and done.
4 Tala ndenge likolo mpe mokili elongo na biloko oyo ezali kati na yango ezalaki tango ekelamaki. Tango Yawe Nzambe akelaki mokili mpe likolo,
These are the generations of the heaven and the earth when they were made.
5 ata nzete moko te ya elanga ezalaki, mpe ata molona moko te ya elanga etikalaki kobimisa moto, pamba te Yawe Nzambe anokisaki nanu mvula te na mokili, mpe moto azalaki te mpo na kolona yango na mabele.
In the day when the Lord God made earth and heaven there were no plants of the field on the earth, and no grass had come up: for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to do work on the land.
6 Kasi mayi ezalaki kobima wuta na se mpe ezalaki kopanzana na etando nyonso ya mokili.
But a mist went up from the earth, watering all the face of the land.
7 Yawe Nzambe asalaki moto wuta na putulu ya mabele, afulaki pema ya bomoi na madusu ya zolo na ye; mpe moto akomaki ekelamu ya bomoi.
And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth, breathing into him the breath of life: and man became a living soul.
8 Yawe Nzambe alonaki elanga moko kati na Edeni, na ngambo ya este. Atiaki moto oyo akelaki kati na yango.
And the Lord God made a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had made.
9 Yawe Nzambe abimisaki wuta na mabele banzete ya lolenge nyonso oyo ezalaki kitoko mpo na kotala mpe elengi mpo na kolia. Atiaki mpe nzete ya bomoi na kati-kati ya elanga; lisusu atiaki nzete ya koyeba malamu mpe mabe.
And out of the earth the Lord made every tree to come, delighting the eye and good for food; and in the middle of the garden, the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Ebale moko ezalaki kobima na Edeni mpe ezalaki kosopa mayi na elanga. Mayi ya ebale yango ekabwanaki na biteni minei.
And a river went out of Eden giving water to the garden; and from there it was parted and became four streams.
11 Eteni ya liboso, kombo na yango « Pishoni. » Yango ezingeli mokili mobimba ya Avila oyo mabele na yango ezalaki na wolo.
The name of the first is Pishon, which goes round about all the land of Havilah where there is gold.
12 Wolo ya mokili yango ezalaki kitoko. Ezalaki lisusu na molona ya malasi mpe na mabanga ya onikisi kati na mokili yango.
And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 Eteni ya mibale, kombo na yango « Giyoni. » Yango ezingeli mokili mobimba ya Kushi.
And the name of the second river is Gihon: this river goes round all the land of Cush.
14 Eteni ya misato, kombo na yango « Tigre. » Yango elekana na este ya Asiri. Mpe eteni ya minei, kombo na yango « Efrate. »
And the name of the third river is Tigris, which goes to the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 Yawe Nzambe azwaki moto mpe atiaki ye kati na elanga ya Edeni mpo na kolona yango mpe kobatela yango.
And the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to do work in it and take care of it.
16 Mpe Yawe Nzambe apesaki mitindo oyo na moto: « Okoki kolia mbuma nyonso ya elanga,
And the Lord God gave the man orders, saying, You may freely take of the fruit of every tree of the garden:
17 kasi okolia te mbuma ya nzete ya koyeba malamu mpe mabe; pamba te mokolo oyo okolia yango, okokufa solo. »
But of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not take; for on the day when you take of it, death will certainly come to you.
18 Yawe Nzambe alobaki: « Ezali malamu te ete mobali azala ye moko; nakosalela ye mosungi oyo azali ndenge moko na ye. »
And the Lord God said, It is not good for the man to be by himself: I will make one like himself as a help to him
19 Yawe Nzambe asalaki, wuta na mabele, banyama nyonso ya zamba mpe bandeke nyonso ya likolo. Amemaki yango epai ya mobali mpo na kotala ndenge akopesa yango kombo, mpo ete ekelamu nyonso ya bomoi ebengama na kombo oyo mobali akopesa yango.
And from the earth the Lord God made every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and took them to the man to see what names he would give them: and whatever name he gave to any living thing, that was its name.
20 Yango wana, mobali apesaki bakombo na bibwele nyonso, na bandeke nyonso ya likolo mpe na banyama nyonso ya zamba. Kasi amonaki te mosungi oyo akokaki kozala ndenge moko na ye.
And the man gave names to all cattle and to the birds of the air and to every beast of the field; but Adam had no one like himself as a help.
21 Na yango, Yawe Nzambe alalisaki mobali pongi ya makasi. Mpe wana mobali azalaki kolala, Yawe Nzambe azwaki mokuwa moko na mopanzi ya mobali mpe azipaki mosuni na esika yango.
And the Lord God sent a deep sleep on the man, and took one of the bones from his side while he was sleeping, joining up the flesh again in its place:
22 Yawe Nzambe asalaki mwasi na mokuwa oyo azwaki na mopanzi ya mobali mpe amemaki ye epai ya mobali.
And the bone which the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman, and took her to the man.
23 Boye, mobali alobaki: « Tala na mbala oyo, oyo azali mokuwa ya mikuwa na ngai, mosuni ya mosuni na ngai. Bakobenga ye mwasi, pamba te awuti na mobali. »
And the man said, This is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh: let her name be Woman because she was taken out of Man.
24 Yango wana, mobali akotika tata na ye mpe mama na ye, akosangana na mwasi na ye, mpe bakokoma nzoto moko.
For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh.
25 Mobali mpe mwasi na ye bazalaki bolumbu mpe bazalaki koyokana soni te.
And the man and his wife were without clothing, and they had no sense of shame.
