< Uumama 2 >
1 Uumamni samiitii fi lafaa, kan waan isaan keessa jiru hundaas haala kanaan xumurame.
The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished.
2 Waaqni hojii hojjechaa ture hunda guyyaa torbaffaatti fixe; kanaafuu inni guyyaa torbaffaatti hojii isaa hundumaa irraa boqote.
On the seventh 'yom ·period of time, day· God finished his work which he had done; and he shavat ·rested· on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.
3 Waaqni sababii gaafa sana hojii waa uumuu kan hojjechaa ture hunda irraa boqoteef guyyaa torbaffaa eebbisee qulqulleesse.
God blessed the seventh day, and made it set apart holy, because he rested in it from all his work of barah' ·creation from nothingness· which he had done.
4 Seenaan samiiwwaniitii fi lafaa kan yeroo isaan uumamanii, yeroo Waaqayyo Waaqni lafaa fi samiiwwan uumee kanaa dha.
This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created. On the day that Adonai God made earth and heaven,
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.
no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Adonai God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was no human to till the ground,
6 Garuu bishaan lafa keessaa burqee lafa hunda obaasa ture.
but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 Waaqayyo Waaqni biyyoo lafaa irraa nama tolche; hafuura jireenyaas funyaan isaatti baafate; namnis uumama jiraataa taʼe.
Adonai God formed and framed a human from the dust of ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breaths of lives; and man became a living soul.
8 Waaqayyo Waaqnis Eeden keessatti gama baʼa biiftuutti iddoo biqiltuu qopheesse; nama tolche sanas achi keessa kaaʼe.
Adonai God planted a garden eastward, in Eden [Delight], and there he put 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.
Out of the ground Adonai God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the 'etz chai ·tree of life· in the middle of the garden and 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 went out of Eden [Delight] to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers.
11 Maqaan laga tokkoffaa Phiishoon; innis guutummaa biyya Hawiilaa, iddoo warqeen jirutti naannaʼee yaaʼa.
The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 Warqeen biyya sanaa gaarii dha; hapheen urgaaʼuu fi sardooniksiin achitti argamu.
and the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and onyx stone are also there.
13 Maqaan isa lammaffaa Giihooni; innis guutummaa lafa Itoophiyaatti naannaʼee yaaʼa.
The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush.
14 Maqaan laga sadaffaa Xegroosi; innis karaa baʼa biiftuutiin Asoor cina yaaʼa. Lagni afuraffaan immoo Efraaxiis jedhama.
The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria [Level plain]. The fourth river is the Euphrates [Fruitful].
15 Waaqayyo Waaqni akka inni isa misoomsuu fi akka inni isa eeguuf jedhee nama fuudhee Iddoo Biqiltuu Eeden keessa kaaʼe.
Adonai God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden [Delight] to cultivate and keep it.
16 Waaqayyo Waaqnis akkana jedhee nama ajaje; “Muka iddoo biqiltuu kana keessa jiru hunda irraa nyaachuu ni dandeessa;
Adonai God enjoined the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of 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 shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely have death.”
18 Waaqayyo Waaqni, “Namni kophaa isaa taʼuun gaarii miti; gargaartuu isatti toltu nan tolchaaf” jedhe.
Adonai God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a help-mate suitable for 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.
Out of the ground Adonai God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature became its name.
20 Namichi sunis horii qeʼee hundaaf, simbirroota samii hundaaf, bineensa hundaaf maqaa baase. Addaamiif garuu gargaartuun isatti toltu hin argamne.
The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper suitable for 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.
Adonai God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. As the man slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
22 Waaqayyo Waaqni lafee cinaachaa kan namicha keessaa fuudhe sana irraa dubartii tolchee gara namichaatti geesse.
Adonai God refined and fashioned an 'ishah ·wife woman· from the rib which had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
23 Namichis akkana jedhe; “Egaa lafeen kun lafee lafee kootii ti; foon kunis foon foon kootii ti; isheen waan dhiira irraa argamteef ‘dubartii’ jedhamti.”
The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called ‘'ishah ·wife woman·,’ because she was taken out of 'ish ·husband man·.”
24 Kanaafuu namni abbaa fi haadha isaa ni dhiisa; niitii isaatti ni maxxana; isaanis foon tokko taʼu.
Therefore a husband man will leave his father and his mother, and will dabak ·cling to, worship· with his wife woman, and they will be echad ·one· flesh.
25 Namichii fi niitiin isaa qullaa isaanii turan; garuu wal hin qaanaʼan ture.
The husband man and his wife woman were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
