< Postanak 2 >

1 Tako se dovrši nebo i zemlja i sva vojska njihova.
Thus were finished the heavens and the earth and all their host.
2 I svrši Bog do sedmoga dana djela svoja, koja uèini; i poèinu u sedmi dan od svijeh djela svojih, koja uèini;
Thus God finished, on the seventh day his work which he had made, and rested, on the seventh day, from all his work which he had made.
3 I blagoslovi Bog sedmi dan, i posveti ga, jer u taj dan poèinu od svijeh djela svojih, koja uèini;
And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, —because therein, rested he from all his work which God, by creating, had made.
4 To je postanje neba i zemlje, kad postaše, kad Gospod Bog stvori zemlju i nebo,
These are the geneses of the heavens and the earth when they were created, —in the day when Yahweh God made earth and heavens.
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,
Now, no bush of the field, as yet—was in the earth, and, no herb of the field, as yet had sprung up, —because Yahweh God had not sent rain on the earth, and, man, was there none to till the ground;
6 Ali se podizaše para sa zemlje da natapa svu zemlju.
but, a vapour, went up from the earth, —and watered all the face of the ground.
7 A stvori Gospod Bog èovjeka od praha zemaljskoga, i dunu mu u nos duh životni; i posta èovjek duša živa.
So then Yahweh God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed in his nostrils 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.
And Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden, on the east, —and put there 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 Yahweh God, caused to spring up, out of the ground, every tree pleasant to the sight and good for food, —and the tree of life, in the midst of the garden, 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.
Now, a river, was coming forth out of Eden, to water the garden, —and, from thence, it parted, and became four heads,
11 Jednoj je ime Fison, ona teèe oko cijele zemlje Evilske, a ondje ima zlata,
The name of the one, is Pishon, —the same, is that which surroundeth all the land of Havilah, where is gold;
12 I zlato je one zemlje vrlo dobro; ondje ima i bdela i dragoga kamena oniha.
moreover the gold of that land, is good, —there, is the bdellium, and the beryl stone,
13 A drugoj je rijeci ime Geon, ona teèe oko cijele zemlje Huske.
And the name of the second river, is Gihon, —the same, is that which surroundeth all the land of Cush,
14 A treæoj je rijeci ime Hidekel, ona teèe k Asirskoj. A èetvrta je rijeka Efrat.
And, the name of the third river, is Hiddekel, the same, is that which goeth in front of Assyria; and the fourth river, is Euphrates.
15 I uzevši Gospod Bog èovjeka namjesti ga u vrtu Edemskom, da ga radi i da ga èuva.
So Yahweh God took the man, —and placed him in the garden of Eden, to till it and to keep it.
16 I zaprijeti Gospod Bog èovjeku govoreæi: jedi slobodno sa svakoga drveta u vrtu;
And Yahweh God laid command on the man, saying, —Of every tree of the garden, thou mayest eat;
17 Ali s drveta od znanja dobra i zla, s njega ne jedi; jer u koji dan okusiš s njega, umrijeæeš.
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, —for in the day thou eatest thereof, thou shalt die.
18 I reèe Gospod Bog: nije dobro da je èovjek sam; da mu naèinim druga prema njemu.
And Yahweh God said, It is, not good, that the man should remain alone, —I will make for him a helper as his counterpart.
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;
Now Yahweh God had formed from the ground every living thing of the field and every bird of the heavens, which he brought in unto the man, that he might see what he should call it, —and, whatsoever the man should call it—any living soul, that, should be the name thereof.
20 I Adam nadjede ime svakom živinèetu i svakoj ptici nebeskoj i svakoj zvijeri poljskoj; ali se ne naðe Adamu drug prema njemu.
So the man gave names to all the tame-beasts, and to the birds of the heavens, and to all the wild-beasts of the field, —but, for man, had there not been found a helper as his counterpart.
21 I Gospod Bog pusti tvrd san na Adama, te zaspa; pa mu uze jedno rebro, i mjesto popuni mesom;
So Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept, —and he took one of his ribs, and closed up flesh instead thereof.
22 I Gospod Bog stvori ženu od rebra, koje uze Adamu, i dovede je k Adamu.
And Yahweh God builded the rib which he had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her in unto the man.
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 the man said, This, one, now, is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh! This, one shall be called Woman, for, out of a man, hath this one been taken.
24 Zato æe ostaviti èovjek oca svojega i mater svoju, i prilijepiæe se k ženi svojoj, i biæe dvoje jedno tijelo.
For this cause, will a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave unto his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
25 A bjehu oboje goli, Adam i žena mu, i ne bješe ih sramota.
And they were both of them naked, the man and his wife, —and put not each other to shame.
