Uumama 2
1 Uumamni samiitii fi lafaa, kan waan isaan keessa jiru hundaas haala kanaan xumurame.
The creation of the heavens, the earth, and everything in them was complete.
2 Waaqni hojii hojjechaa ture hunda guyyaa torbaffaatti fixe; kanaafuu inni guyyaa torbaffaatti hojii isaa hundumaa irraa boqote.
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 Waaqni sababii gaafa sana hojii waa uumuu kan hojjechaa ture hunda irraa boqoteef guyyaa torbaffaa eebbisee qulqulleesse.
God blessed the seventh day, and set it apart as holy, because he rested from all the work he'd done in creation.
4 Seenaan samiiwwaniitii fi lafaa kan yeroo isaan uumamanii, yeroo Waaqayyo Waaqni lafaa fi samiiwwan uumee kanaa dha.
This is the account of the Lord God's creation when he made the heavens and the earth.
5 Sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni bokkaa hin roobsiniif, namni lafa qotus waan hin jiraatiniif margi tokko iyyuu lafa irratti hin mulʼanne; biqiltuunis lafa qotiisaa irratti hin biqille ture.
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 Garuu bishaan lafa keessaa burqee lafa hunda obaasa ture.
Dew came up from the earth and made the whole surface of the ground wet.
7 Waaqayyo Waaqni biyyoo lafaa irraa nama tolche; hafuura jireenyaas funyaan isaatti baafate; namnis uumama jiraataa taʼe.
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 Waaqayyo Waaqnis Eeden keessatti gama baʼa biiftuutti iddoo biqiltuu qopheesse; nama tolche sanas achi keessa kaaʼe.
The Lord planted a garden in Eden, in the east. There he put the man Adam he had created.
9 Waaqayyo Waaqni mukkeen gosa hundaa lafa keessaa biqilche; inni mukkeen ija namaatti tolanii fi nyaataafis gaarii taʼan biqilche. Iddoo biqiltuu sana keessas muka jireenyaatii fi muka waan gaarii fi waan hamaa nama beeksisutu ture.
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 Lagni iddoo biqiltuu sana obaasu tokkos Eeden keessaa burqa ture; lagni sun Eedenii kaʼee gargar baʼee laga afur taʼe.
A river flowed out from Eden to water the garden. From there it split into four branches.
11 Maqaan laga tokkoffaa Phiishoon; innis guutummaa biyya Hawiilaa, iddoo warqeen jirutti naannaʼee yaaʼa.
The first branch was called the Pishon and it flowed through the whole land of Havilah, where gold is found.
12 Warqeen biyya sanaa gaarii dha; hapheen urgaaʼuu fi sardooniksiin achitti argamu.
(The gold from that land is pure. Bdellium and onyx stone are also found there.)
13 Maqaan isa lammaffaa Giihooni; innis guutummaa lafa Itoophiyaatti naannaʼee yaaʼa.
The second branch was called the Gihon and it flowed through the whole land of Cush.
14 Maqaan laga sadaffaa Xegroosi; innis karaa baʼa biiftuutiin Asoor cina yaaʼa. Lagni afuraffaan immoo Efraaxiis jedhama.
The third branch was called the Tigris and it flowed east of the city of Asshur. The fourth branch was called the Euphrates.
15 Waaqayyo Waaqni akka inni isa misoomsuu fi akka inni isa eeguuf jedhee nama fuudhee Iddoo Biqiltuu Eeden keessa kaaʼe.
The Lord God put the man in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and care for it.
16 Waaqayyo Waaqnis akkana jedhee nama ajaje; “Muka iddoo biqiltuu kana keessa jiru hunda irraa nyaachuu ni dandeessa;
The Lord God ordered Adam, “You are free to eat fruit from every tree in the garden,
17 garuu muka waan gaarii fi waan hamaa nama beeksisu sana irraa hin nyaatin; gaafa isa irraa nyaatte dhugumaan ni duutaatii.”
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 Waaqayyo Waaqni, “Namni kophaa isaa taʼuun gaarii miti; gargaartuu isatti toltu nan tolchaaf” jedhe.
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 Waaqayyo Waaqnis bineensaa fi simbirroota samii hundumaa lafa irraa tolche. Maqaa inni isaaniif baasu ilaaluuf jedhees gara namichaatti isaan fide; wanni namichi sun tokkoo tokkoo uumamawwan lubbu qabeeyyii ittiin waame kam iyyuu maqaa taʼeef.
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 Namichi sunis horii qeʼee hundaaf, simbirroota samii hundaaf, bineensa hundaaf maqaa baase. Addaamiif garuu gargaartuun isatti toltu hin argamne.
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 Kanaafis Waaqayyo Waaqni akka namichi hirribaan of wallaalu godhe; utuma inni rafaa jiruu lafee cinaacha isaa keessaa tokko fuudhee iddoo sana fooniin duuche.
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 Waaqayyo Waaqni lafee cinaachaa kan namicha keessaa fuudhe sana irraa dubartii tolchee gara namichaatti geesse.
The Lord God made a woman, using the rib he'd taken from Adam, and presented her to Adam.
23 Namichis akkana jedhe; “Egaa lafeen kun lafee lafee kootii ti; foon kunis foon foon kootii ti; isheen waan dhiira irraa argamteef ‘dubartii’ jedhamti.”
“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 Kanaafuu namni abbaa fi haadha isaa ni dhiisa; niitii isaatti ni maxxana; isaanis foon tokko taʼu.
This is the reason a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two become one being.
25 Namichii fi niitiin isaa qullaa isaanii turan; garuu wal hin qaanaʼan ture.
Adam and his wife Eve were both naked, but they weren't embarrassed about it.
