< Olubereberye 2 >
1 Bwe bityo eggulu n’ensi awamu ne byonna ebigirimu ne biggwa okukolwa.
And the heavens and the earth and all their host were finished.
2 Ku lunaku olw’omusanvu Katonda yali amaze ebyo byonna bye yali akola; n’awummulira ku lunaku olwo ng’ava ku mirimu gye gyonna gye yakola.
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 Bw’atyo Katonda olunaku olw’omusanvu n’aluwa omukisa n’alutukuza; kubanga ku olwo Katonda kwe yawummulira emirimu gye yakola mu kutonda.
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 Ebyo bye bifa ku ggulu n’ensi nga bwe byatondebwa, Mukama Katonda we yamalira okutonda eggulu n’ensi.
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 Tewaaliwo muddo gwonna ku nsi wadde ekimera kyonna, kubanga Mukama Katonda yali tannatonnyesa nkuba ku nsi era nga tewali muntu ow’okulima ettaka.
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 Naye ensulo n’eva mu ttaka n’efukirira ensi yonna.
But a mist went up from the earth, and moistened the whole surface of the ground.
7 Mukama Katonda n’akola omuntu okuva mu nfuufu ey’oku nsi n’amufuuwa mu nnyindo omukka ogw’obulamu. Omuntu n’aba omulamu.
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 Mukama Katonda yali asimbye ennimiro Adeni ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba, omuntu gwe yabumba n’amuteeka omwo.
And Jehovah Elohim planted a garden in Eden eastward, and there put Man whom he had formed.
9 Mukama Katonda n’ameza mu ttaka buli muti ogusanyusa amaaso era omulungi okulya. N’ateeka omuti ogw’obulamu, n’omuti ogw’okumanya ekirungi n’ekibi wakati mu nnimiro.
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 Omugga ne gusibuka mu nnimiro Adeni ne gukulukuta okulufukirira, ne gwanjaalira omwo ne guvaamu emigga ena.
And a river went out of Eden, to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four main streams.
11 Erinnya ly’ogusooka Pisoni, gwe gwo ogukulukuta okwetooloola ensi ya Kavira, awali zaabu;
The name of the one is Pison: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Havilah, where the gold is.
12 ne zaabu y’ensi eyo nnungi; mulimu bideriamu n’amayinja onuku.
And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and the onyx stone are there.
13 Omugga ogwokubiri ye Gikoni, gwe gukulukuta okwetooloola ensi ya Kuusi.
And the name of the second river is Gihon: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Cush.
14 N’erinnya ly’ogwokusatu ye Tigiriisi ogukulukutira ku buvanjuba bwa Bwasuli. Ogwokuna ye Fulaati.
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 Mukama Katonda n’ateeka omuntu mu nnimiro Adeni agirimenga era agikuumenga.
And Jehovah Elohim took Man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it and to guard it.
16 Mukama Katonda n’alagira omuntu nti, “Emiti gyonna egy’omu nnimiro olyangako,
And Jehovah Elohim commanded Man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt freely eat;
17 naye omuti ogw’okumanya ekirungi n’ekibi ogwo togulyangako, kubanga lw’oligulyako tolirema kufa.”
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 Mukama Katonda n’ayogera nti, “Si kirungi omuntu okuba yekka, nnaamukolera omubeezi amusaanira.”
And Jehovah Elohim said, It is not good that Man should be alone; I will make him a helpmate, his like.
19 Naye olwo Mukama Katonda yali amaze okukola ensolo zonna ez’omu nsiko n’ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga. N’abireeta eri omuntu abituume amannya. Buli kiramu omuntu nga bwe yakiyita, lye lyabeera erinnya lyakyo.
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 Bw’atyo omuntu n’atuuma buli nsolo ey’awaka, n’ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga n’ensolo ez’omu nsiko amannya. Adamu yali tannaba kufunirwa mubeezi.
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 Mukama Katonda n’aleetera omusajja otulo tungi nnyo ne yeebaka; bwe yali nga yeebase n’amuggyamu olubirizi lumu, n’azzaawo ennyama.
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 Mukama Katonda n’atonda omukazi okuva mu lubiriizi lwe yaggya mu musajja n’amumuleetera.
And Jehovah Elohim built the rib that he had taken from Man into a woman; and brought her to Man.
23 Omusajja n’agamba nti, “Lino lye ggumba ery’omu magumba gange, ye nnyama ey’omu nnyama yange, anaayitibwanga mukazi; kubanga aggyibbwa mu musajja.”
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 Noolwekyo omusajja ky’anaavanga aleka kitaawe ne nnyina ne yeegatta ne mukazi we, ne bafuuka omubiri gumu.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.
25 Omusajja n’omukazi baali tebambadde, naye nga tewali akwatirwa munne nsonyi.
And they were both naked, Man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
