< Uumama 2 >

1 Uumamni samiitii fi lafaa, kan waan isaan keessa jiru hundaas haala kanaan xumurame.
And the heavens and the earth were finished, and the whole world of them.
2 Waaqni hojii hojjechaa ture hunda guyyaa torbaffaatti fixe; kanaafuu inni guyyaa torbaffaatti hojii isaa hundumaa irraa boqote.
And God finished on the sixth day his works which he made, and he ceased on the seventh day from all his works which he made.
3 Waaqni sababii gaafa sana hojii waa uumuu kan hojjechaa ture hunda irraa boqoteef guyyaa torbaffaa eebbisee qulqulleesse.
And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he ceased from all his works which God began to do.
4 Seenaan samiiwwaniitii fi lafaa kan yeroo isaan uumamanii, yeroo Waaqayyo Waaqni lafaa fi samiiwwan uumee kanaa dha.
This [is] the book of the generation of heaven and earth, when they were made, in the day in which the Lord God made the heaven 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.
and every herb of the field before it was on the earth, and all the grass of the field before it sprang up, for God had not rained on the earth, and there was not a man to cultivate it.
6 Garuu bishaan lafa keessaa burqee lafa hunda obaasa ture.
But there rose a fountain out of the earth, and watered the whole face of the earth.
7 Waaqayyo Waaqni biyyoo lafaa irraa nama tolche; hafuura jireenyaas funyaan isaatti baafate; namnis uumama jiraataa taʼe.
And God formed the man [of] dust of the earth, and breathed upon his face the breath of life, and the man became a living soul.
8 Waaqayyo Waaqnis Eeden keessatti gama baʼa biiftuutti iddoo biqiltuu qopheesse; nama tolche sanas achi keessa kaaʼe.
And God planted a garden eastward in Edem, and placed there the man whom he had formed.
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.
And God made to spring up also out of the earth every tree beautiful to the eye and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of learning 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.
And a river proceeds out of Edem to water the garden, thence it divides itself into four heads.
11 Maqaan laga tokkoffaa Phiishoon; innis guutummaa biyya Hawiilaa, iddoo warqeen jirutti naannaʼee yaaʼa.
The name of the one, Phisom, this it is which encircles the whole land of Evilat, where there is gold.
12 Warqeen biyya sanaa gaarii dha; hapheen urgaaʼuu fi sardooniksiin achitti argamu.
And the gold of that land is good, there also is carbuncle and emerald.
13 Maqaan isa lammaffaa Giihooni; innis guutummaa lafa Itoophiyaatti naannaʼee yaaʼa.
And the name of the second river is Geon, this it is which encircles the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 Maqaan laga sadaffaa Xegroosi; innis karaa baʼa biiftuutiin Asoor cina yaaʼa. Lagni afuraffaan immoo Efraaxiis jedhama.
And the third river is Tigris, this is that which flows forth over against the Assyrians. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 Waaqayyo Waaqni akka inni isa misoomsuu fi akka inni isa eeguuf jedhee nama fuudhee Iddoo Biqiltuu Eeden keessa kaaʼe.
And the Lord God took the man whom he had formed, and placed him in the garden of Delight, to cultivate and keep it.
16 Waaqayyo Waaqnis akkana jedhee nama ajaje; “Muka iddoo biqiltuu kana keessa jiru hunda irraa nyaachuu ni dandeessa;
And the Lord God gave a charge to Adam, saying, Of every tree which is in the garden you may freely eat,
17 garuu muka waan gaarii fi waan hamaa nama beeksisu sana irraa hin nyaatin; gaafa isa irraa nyaatte dhugumaan ni duutaatii.”
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil—of it you shall not eat, but in whatever day you eat of it, you shall surely die.
18 Waaqayyo Waaqni, “Namni kophaa isaa taʼuun gaarii miti; gargaartuu isatti toltu nan tolchaaf” jedhe.
And the Lord God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone, let us make for him a help suitable to 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.
And God formed yet farther out of the earth all the wild beasts of the field, and all the birds of the sky, and he brought them to Adam, to see what he would call them, and whatever Adam called any living creature, that was the name of it.
20 Namichi sunis horii qeʼee hundaaf, simbirroota samii hundaaf, bineensa hundaaf maqaa baase. Addaamiif garuu gargaartuun isatti toltu hin argamne.
And Adam gave names to all the cattle and to all the birds of the sky, and to all the wild beasts of the field, but for Adam there was not found a help like to himself.
21 Kanaafis Waaqayyo Waaqni akka namichi hirribaan of wallaalu godhe; utuma inni rafaa jiruu lafee cinaacha isaa keessaa tokko fuudhee iddoo sana fooniin duuche.
And God brought a trance upon Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs, and filled up the flesh instead thereof.
22 Waaqayyo Waaqni lafee cinaachaa kan namicha keessaa fuudhe sana irraa dubartii tolchee gara namichaatti geesse.
And God formed the rib which he took from Adam into a woman, and brought 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.”
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 her husband.
24 Kanaafuu namni abbaa fi haadha isaa ni dhiisa; niitii isaatti ni maxxana; isaanis foon tokko taʼu.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
25 Namichii fi niitiin isaa qullaa isaanii turan; garuu wal hin qaanaʼan ture.
