Postanak 2
1 Tako se dovrši nebo i zemlja i sva vojska njihova.
And so the heavens and the earth were completed, with all their adornment.
2 I svrši Bog do sedmoga dana djela svoja, koja uèini; i poèinu u sedmi dan od svijeh djela svojih, koja uèini;
And on the seventh day, God fulfilled his work, which he had made. And on the seventh day he rested from all his work, which he had accomplished.
3 I blagoslovi Bog sedmi dan, i posveti ga, jer u taj dan poèinu od svijeh djela svojih, koja uèini;
And he blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. For in it, he had ceased from all his work: the work whereby God created whatever he should make.
4 To je postanje neba i zemlje, kad postaše, kad Gospod Bog stvori zemlju i nebo,
These are the generations of heaven and earth, when they were created, in the day when the Lord God made heaven and earth,
5 I svaku biljku poljsku, dokle je još ne bješe na zemlji, i svaku travku poljsku, dokle još ne nicaše; jer Gospod Bog još ne pusti dažda na zemlju, niti bješe èovjeka da radi zemlju,
and every sapling of the field, before it would rise up in the land, and every wild plant, before it would germinate. For the Lord God had not brought rain upon the earth, and there was no man to work the land.
6 Ali se podizaše para sa zemlje da natapa svu zemlju.
But a fountain ascended from the earth, irrigating the entire surface of the land.
7 A stvori Gospod Bog èovjeka od praha zemaljskoga, i dunu mu u nos duh životni; i posta èovjek duša živa.
And then the Lord God formed man from the clay of the earth, and he breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
8 I nasadi Gospod Bog vrt u Edemu na istoku; i ondje namjesti èovjeka, kojega stvori.
Now the Lord God had planted a Paradise of enjoyment from the beginning. In it, he placed the man whom he had formed.
9 I uèini Gospod Bog, te nikoše iz zemlje svakojaka drveta lijepa za gledanje i dobra za jelo, i drvo od života usred vrta i drvo od znanja dobra i zla.
And from the soil the Lord God produced every tree that was beautiful to behold and pleasant to eat. And even the tree of life was in the midst of Paradise, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 A voda tecijaše iz Edema natapajuæi vrt, i odande se dijeljaše u èetiri rijeke.
And a river went forth from the place of enjoyment so as to irrigate Paradise, which is divided from there into four heads.
11 Jednoj je ime Fison, ona teèe oko cijele zemlje Evilske, a ondje ima zlata,
The name of one is the Phison; it is that which runs through all the land of Hevilath, where gold is born;
12 I zlato je one zemlje vrlo dobro; ondje ima i bdela i dragoga kamena oniha.
and the gold of that land is the finest. In that place is found bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 A drugoj je rijeci ime Geon, ona teèe oko cijele zemlje Huske.
And the name of the second river is the Gehon; it is that which runs through all the land of Ethiopia.
14 A treæoj je rijeci ime Hidekel, ona teèe k Asirskoj. A èetvrta je rijeka Efrat.
Truly, the name of the third river is the Tigris; it advances opposite the Assyrians. But the fourth river, it is the Euphrates.
15 I uzevši Gospod Bog èovjeka namjesti ga u vrtu Edemskom, da ga radi i da ga èuva.
Thus, the Lord God brought the man, and put him into the Paradise of enjoyment, so that it would be attended and preserved by him.
16 I zaprijeti Gospod Bog èovjeku govoreæi: jedi slobodno sa svakoga drveta u vrtu;
And he instructed him, saying: “From every tree of Paradise, you shall eat.
17 Ali s drveta od znanja dobra i zla, s njega ne jedi; jer u koji dan okusiš s njega, umrijeæeš.
But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat. For in whatever day you will eat from it, you will die a death.”
18 I reèe Gospod Bog: nije dobro da je èovjek sam; da mu naèinim druga prema njemu.
The Lord God also said: “It is not good for the man to be alone. Let us make a helper for him similar to himself.”
19 Jer Gospod Bog stvori od zemlje sve zvijeri poljske i sve ptice nebeske, i dovede k Adamu da vidi kako æe koju nazvati, pa kako Adam nazove koju životinju onako da joj bude ime;
Therefore, the Lord God, having formed from the soil all the animals of the earth and all the flying creatures of the air, brought them to Adam, in order to see what he would call them. For whatever Adam would call any living creature, that would be its name.
20 I Adam nadjede ime svakom živinèetu i svakoj ptici nebeskoj i svakoj zvijeri poljskoj; ali se ne naðe Adamu drug prema njemu.
And Adam called each of the living things by their names: all the flying creatures of the air, and all the wild beasts of the land. Yet truly, for Adam, there was not found a helper similar to himself.
21 I Gospod Bog pusti tvrd san na Adama, te zaspa; pa mu uze jedno rebro, i mjesto popuni mesom;
And so the Lord God sent a deep sleep upon Adam. And when he was fast asleep, he took one of his ribs, and he completed it with flesh for it.
22 I Gospod Bog stvori ženu od rebra, koje uze Adamu, i dovede je k Adamu.
And the Lord God built up the rib, which he took from Adam, into a woman. And he led her to Adam.
23 A Adam reèe: sada eto kost od mojih kosti, i tijelo od mojega tijela. Neka joj bude ime èovjeèica, jer je uzeta od èovjeka.
And Adam said: “Now this is bone from my bones, and flesh from my flesh. This one shall be called woman, because she was taken from man.”
24 Zato æe ostaviti èovjek oca svojega i mater svoju, i prilijepiæe se k ženi svojoj, i biæe dvoje jedno tijelo.
For this reason, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife; and the two shall be as one flesh.
25 A bjehu oboje goli, Adam i žena mu, i ne bješe ih sramota.
Now they were both naked: Adam, of course, and his wife. And they were not ashamed.
