Genesisy 2
1 Dia vita ny lanitra sy ny tany sy izay rehetra ao aminy.
The creation of the heavens, the earth, and everything in them was complete.
2 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahafito dia vitan’ Andriamanitra ny asa efa nataony; ary dia nitsahatra tamin’ ny andro fahafito Izy tamin’ ny asany rehetra izay efa nataony.
By the time the seventh day came, God had finished the work he'd done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work he'd been doing.
3 Ary Andriamanitra nitahy ny andro fahafito sy nanamasina azy, satria tamin’ izany no nitsaharan’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny asany rehetra izay noforoniny tamin’ ny nanaovany azy.
God blessed the seventh day, and set it apart as holy, because he rested from all the work he'd done in creation.
4 Ary izao no tantaran’ ny lanitra sy ny tany tamin’ ny namoronana azy, dia tamin’ ny nanaovan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra ny tany sy ny lanitra:
This is the account of the Lord God's creation when he made the heavens and the earth.
5 Ny hazo madinika famboly dia tsy mbola nisy teo amin’ ny tany, ary ny anana famboly tsy mbola nisy naniry; fa tsy mbola nampilatsaka ranonorana tambonin’ ny tany Jehovah Andriamanitra, ary nisy olona hiasa ny tany;
Up to this point there were no wild plants or crops growing on the earth, because the Lord God hadn't sent rain, and there was no one to cultivate the ground.
6 nefa nisy zavona niakatra avy tamin’ ny tany ka nandena ny tany rehetra.
Dew came up from the earth and made the whole surface of the ground wet.
7 Ary vovo-tany no namoronan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra ny olona, ary nofofoniny fofonaina mahavelona ny vavorony; dia tonga olombelona izy.
The Lord God shaped the man Adam from the dust of the ground. He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and Adam became a living being.
8 Ary Jehovah Andriamanitra nanao saha tao Edena tany atsinanana, ka napetrany tao ralehilahy izay noforoniny.
The Lord planted a garden in Eden, in the east. There he put the man Adam he had created.
9 Ary nampanirin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra teo amin’ ny tany ny hazo rehetra izay maha-te-hizaha sady tsara ho fihinana, ary ny hazon’ aina teo afovoan’ ny saha sy ny hazo fahalalana ny tsara sy ny ratsy.
The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow in the garden, beautiful trees and trees producing fruit that's good to eat. The tree of life was in the middle of the garden, along with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Ary nisy ony nivoaka avy tao Edena handena ny saha; hatreo izy dia nizara ka nisampana efatra:
A river flowed out from Eden to water the garden. From there it split into four branches.
11 Ny anaran’ ny voalohany dia Pisona; io no mandeha manodidina ny tany Havila rehetra, izay misy ny volamena;
The first branch was called the Pishon and it flowed through the whole land of Havilah, where gold is found.
12 ary tsara ny volamena amin’ izany tany izany; any ny bedola sy ny vato beryla.
(The gold from that land is pure. Bdellium and onyx stone are also found there.)
13 Ary ny anaran’ ny ony faha dia Gihona; io no mandeha manodidina ny tany Kosy rehetra.
The second branch was called the Gihon and it flowed through the whole land of Cush.
14 Ary ny anaran’ ny ony fahatelo dia Hidekela; io no mandeha tandrifin’ i Asyria. Ary ny ony fahefatra dia Eofrata.
The third branch was called the Tigris and it flowed east of the city of Asshur. The fourth branch was called the Euphrates.
15 Ary Jehovah Andriamanitra nitondra an-dralehilahy ka namponina azy tao amin’ ny saha Edena hiasa sy hitandrina azy.
The Lord God put the man in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and care for it.
16 Ary Jehovah Andriamanitra nandidy an-dralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Ny hazo rehetra eo amin’ ny saha dia azonao ihinanana ihany;
The Lord God ordered Adam, “You are free to eat fruit from every tree in the garden,
17 fa ny hazo fahalalana ny tsara sy ny ratsy dia aza ihinanana; fa amin’ ny andro izay ihinananao azy dia ho faty tokoa ianao.
but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because the day you eat from it you are certain to die.”
18 Ary Jehovah Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Tsy tsara raha irery ralehilahy; dia hanaovako vady sahaza ho azy izy.
Then the Lord God said, “It's not good for Adam to be alone. I will make someone to help him, someone that's like him.”
19 Ary tany no namoronan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra ny bibi-dia rehetra sy ny voro-manidina rehetra; dia nentiny tany amin-dralehilahy ireny hahitany izay hanononany azy avy; ary izay rehetra nanononan-dralehilahy ny zava-manan’ aina rehetra, dia izany no anarany.
The Lord God used the ground to make all the wild animals, and all the birds. He took them all to Adam to see what he would call them, and Adam named every living creature.
20 Dia nomen-dralehilahy anarana ny biby fiompy rehetra sy ny ny voro-manidina mbamin’ ny bibi-dia rehetra; nefa tsy hita izay vady sahaza ho an-dralehilahy.
Adam gave names to all the livestock, all the birds, and all the wild animals. But Adam didn't find anyone like him who could help him.
21 Ary Jehovah Andriamanitra nahasondrian-tory an-dralehilahy, ka dia natory izy; dia naka ny taolan-tehezany anankiray Izy ka nanakombona nofo ho solony.
So the Lord God put Adam into a deep sleep and as he slept the Lord God removed one of Adam's ribs and closed up the place where he took it with body tissue.
22 Ary ny taolan-tehezana izay nalain’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra tamin-dralehilahy dia nataony vehivavy ka nentiny tany amin-dralehilahy.
The Lord God made a woman, using the rib he'd taken from Adam, and presented her to Adam.
23 Ary hoy ralehilahy: Ankehitriny dia taolana avy amin’ ny taolako sy nofo avy amin’ ny nofoko ity; ity dia hatao hoe vehivavy satria lehilahy no nanalana azy.
“Finally!” said Adam. “Here is bone from my bone and flesh from my flesh. She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man.”
24 Ary noho izany ny lehilahy dia handao ny rainy sy ny reniny ka hikambana amin’ ny vadiny; dia ho nofo iray ihany ireo.
This is the reason a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two become one being.
25 Ary nitanjaka izy mivady, dia ralehilahy sy ny vadiny, nefa tsy nahalala henatra izy.
Adam and his wife Eve were both naked, but they weren't embarrassed about it.
