Olubereberye 2
1 Bwe bityo eggulu n’ensi awamu ne byonna ebigirimu ne biggwa okukolwa.
Thus were finished the heavens and the earth and all their host.
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.
Thus God finished, on the seventh day his work which he had made, and 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 therein, rested he from all his work which God, by creating, had made.
4 Ebyo bye bifa ku ggulu n’ensi nga bwe byatondebwa, Mukama Katonda we yamalira okutonda eggulu n’ensi.
These are the geneses of the heavens and the earth when they were created, —in the day when Yahweh God 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.
Now, no bush of the field, as yet—was in the earth, and, no herb of the field, as yet had sprung up, —because Yahweh God had not sent rain on the earth, and, man, was there none to till the ground;
6 Naye ensulo n’eva mu ttaka n’efukirira ensi yonna.
but, a vapour, went up from the earth, —and watered all the face 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.
So then Yahweh God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed in 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 Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden, on the east, —and put there the 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 Yahweh God, caused to spring up, out of the ground, every tree 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.
Now, a river, was coming forth out of Eden, to water the garden, —and, from thence, it parted, and became four heads,
11 Erinnya ly’ogusooka Pisoni, gwe gwo ogukulukuta okwetooloola ensi ya Kavira, awali zaabu;
The name of the one, is Pishon, —the same, is that which surroundeth all the land of Havilah, where is gold;
12 ne zaabu y’ensi eyo nnungi; mulimu bideriamu n’amayinja onuku.
moreover the gold of that land, is good, —there, is the bdellium, and the beryl stone,
13 Omugga ogwokubiri ye Gikoni, gwe gukulukuta okwetooloola ensi ya Kuusi.
And the name of the second river, is Gihon, —the same, is that which surroundeth all the 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, the same, is that which goeth in front of Assyria; and the fourth river, is Euphrates.
15 Mukama Katonda n’ateeka omuntu mu nnimiro Adeni agirimenga era agikuumenga.
So Yahweh God took the man, —and placed him in the garden of Eden, to till it and to keep it.
16 Mukama Katonda n’alagira omuntu nti, “Emiti gyonna egy’omu nnimiro olyangako,
And Yahweh God laid command on the man, saying, —Of every tree of the garden, thou mayest 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 thou eatest thereof, thou shalt die.
18 Mukama Katonda n’ayogera nti, “Si kirungi omuntu okuba yekka, nnaamukolera omubeezi amusaanira.”
And Yahweh God said, It is, not good, that the man should remain alone, —I will make for him a helper as his counterpart.
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.
Now Yahweh God had formed from the ground every living thing of the field and every bird of the heavens, which he brought in unto the man, that he might see what he should call it, —and, whatsoever the man should call it—any living soul, that, should be the name thereof.
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.
So the man gave names to all the tame-beasts, and to the birds of the heavens, and to all the wild-beasts of the field, —but, for man, had there not been found a helper as his counterpart.
21 Mukama Katonda n’aleetera omusajja otulo tungi nnyo ne yeebaka; bwe yali nga yeebase n’amuggyamu olubirizi lumu, n’azzaawo ennyama.
So Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept, —and he took one of his ribs, and closed up flesh instead thereof.
22 Mukama Katonda n’atonda omukazi okuva mu lubiriizi lwe yaggya mu musajja n’amumuleetera.
And Yahweh God builded the rib which he had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her in unto the 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 the man said, This, one, now, is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh! This, one shall be called Woman, for, out of a man, hath this one been taken.
24 Noolwekyo omusajja ky’anaavanga aleka kitaawe ne nnyina ne yeegatta ne mukazi we, ne bafuuka omubiri gumu.
For this cause, will a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave unto his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
25 Omusajja n’omukazi baali tebambadde, naye nga tewali akwatirwa munne nsonyi.
And they were both of them naked, the man and his wife, —and put not each other to shame.
