Kenehi 2
1 Na ka oti te rangi me te whenua me o reira mano katoa.
So the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the furniture of them.
2 A no te whitu o nga ra i oti ai i te Atua tana mahi i mahi ai; na ka okioki ia i te ra whitu i ana mahi katoa i mahia e ia.
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made: and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.
3 Na ka whakapaingia e te Atua te ra whitu, whakatapua ana hoki e ia: mona i okioki i taua ra i ana mahi katoa i oti i te Atua te hanga.
And he blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
4 Ko nga whakatupuranga enei o te rangi, o te whenua, i te hanganga ai, i te ra i hanga ai e Ihowa, e te Atua, te whenua me te rangi.
These are the generations of the heaven and the earth, when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the heaven and the earth:
5 Kahore ano hoki tetahi rakau riki o te parae i te whenua, kahore ano tetahi otaota o te parae kia pihi noa: kahore hoki a Ihowa, te Atua, i mea kia ua ki te whenua, a kahore rawa he tangata hei mahi i te oneone;
And every plant of the field before it sprung up in the earth, and every herb of the ground before it grew: for the Lord God had not rained upon the earth; and there was not a man to till the earth.
6 Engari i pupu ake he kohu i te whenua, na reira i whakamakuku te mata katoa o te oneone.
But a spring rose out of the earth, watering all the surface of the earth.
7 Na ka whakaahuatia te tangata e Ihowa, e te Atua, he puehu no te oneone, a whakahangia ana e ia ki roto ki ona pongaihu te manawa ora; a ka wairua ora te tangata.
And the Lord God formed man of the slime of the earth: and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
8 Na ka whakatokia e Ihowa, e te Atua, tetahi kari ki te taha ki te rawhiti, ki Erene; a whakanohoia iho e ia ki reira te tangata i hanga e ia.
And the Lord God had planted a paradise of pleasure from the beginning: wherein he placed man whom he had formed.
9 A i whakatupuria e Ihowa, e te Atua, i roto i te oneone nga rakau katoa he mea ahuareka ki te titiro, he pai hoki hei kai; ko te rakau hoki o te ora ki waenganui o te kari, me te rakau o te matauranga ki te pai, ki te kino.
And the Lord God brought forth of the ground all manner of trees, fair to behold, and pleasant to eat of: the tree of life also in the midst of paradise: and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10 I rere mai ano he awa i Erene hei whakamakuku i te kari; a i reira ka manganga e wha nga tino awa.
And a river went out of the place of pleasure to water paradise, which from thence is divided into four heads.
11 Ko te ingoa o te tuatahi ko Pihona; ko ia tera e taiawhio ra i te whenua katoa o Hawira, he koura kei reira;
The name of the one is Phison: that is it which compasseth all the land of Hevilath, where gold groweth.
12 He pai hoki te koura o taua whenua: kei reira te teriuma me te kohatu onika.
And the gold of that land is very good: there is found bdellium, and the onyx stone.
13 Ko te ingoa o te rua o nga awa ko Kihona: ko ia tera e taiawhio ra i te whenua katoa o Etiopia.
And the name of the second river is Gehon: the same is it that compasseth all the land of Ethiopia.
14 Ko te ingoa o te toru o nga awa ko Hirekere; ko te mea tera e rere ra i mua o Ahiria. Ko Uparati te wha o nga awa.
And the name of the third river is Tigris: the same passeth along by the Assyrians. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 Na ka tango a Ihowa, te Atua, i te tangata, a whakanohoia ana e ia ki te kari o Erene, hei ngaki, hei tiaki hoki reira.
And the Lord God took man, and put him into the paradise of pleasure, to dress it, and to keep it.
16 Na ka ako a Ihowa, te Atua, ki te tangata, ka mea, E pai ana kia kai noa atu koe i nga hua o nga rakau katoa o te kari:
And he commanded him, saying: Of every tree of paradise thou shalt eat:
17 Ko te rakau ia o te matauranga ki te pai, ki te kino, kaua e kainga tetahi o ona hua; ko te ra e kai ai koe i tetahi o ona hua, ka mate koe, mate rawa.
But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat. For in what day soever thou shalt eat of it, thou shalt die the death.
18 Na ka mea a Ihowa, te Atua, E kore e pai kia noho te tangata ko ia anake; me hanga e ahau tetahi hoa pai mona.
And the Lord God said: It is not good for man to be alone: let us make him a help like unto himself.
19 Na he mea whakaahua mai na Ihowa, na te Atua, i roto i te oneone nga kirehe katoa o te parae, me nga manu katoa o te rangi; a kawea mai ana e ia ki a Arama, kia kitea ai te ingoa e huaina e ia ki a ratou: a ko a Arama i hua ai ki nga mea ora kat oa, hei ingoa era mo ratou.
And the Lord God having formed out of the ground all the beasts of the earth, and all the fowls of the air, brought them to Adam to see what he would call them: for whatsoever Adam called any living creature the same is its name.
20 Na ka huaina e Arama he ingoa mo nga kararehe katoa, mo nga manu o te rangi, mo nga kirehe katoa hoki o te parae; ko Arama ia kahore i kitea tetahi hoa pai mona.
And Adam called all the beasts by their names, and all the fowls of the air, and all the cattle of the field: but for Adam there was not found a helper like himself.
21 Na ka mea a Ihowa, te Atua, kia parangia a Arama e te moe, a moe ana ia: na tangohia ana e ia tetahi o ona rara, a whakatutakina atu ana te kikokiko hei whakakapi mo reira;
Then the Lord God cast a deep sleep upon Adam: and when he was fast asleep, he took one of his ribs, and filled up flesh for it.
22 Na ka hanga a Ihowa, te Atua, i te rara i tangohia mai ra e ia i roto i a Arama hei wahine, a kawea ana e ia ki a Arama.
And the Lord God built the rib which he took from Adam into a woman: and brought her to Adam.
23 A ka mea a Arama, Katahi ano ki tenei te wheua o roto o oku wheua, me te kikokiko o roto o oku kikokiko: me hua ia ko te Wahine, nona hoki i tangohia mai i roto i te Tangata.
And Adam said: This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man.
24 No konei te tangata ka whakarere i tona papa me tona whaea, a ka piri ki tana wahine: a hei kikokiko kotahi raua.
Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be two in one flesh.
25 A e tu tahanga ana raua tokorua, te tangata me tana wahine, kihai hoki i whakama.
And they were both naked: to wit, Adam and his wife: and were not ashamed.
