< Genesisi 2 >
1 Naizvozvo matenga nenyika zvakapera mukushongedzwa kukuru kwazvo kwose.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 Pazuva rechinomwe Mwari akanga apedza basa raakanga achiita; saka pazuva rechinomwe akazorora pamabasa ake ose.
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 Uye Mwari akaropafadza zuva rechinomwe akariita dzvene nokuti pazuva iro akazorora pabasa rose rokusika raakanga aita.
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
4 Iyi ndiyo rondedzero yamatenga nenyika pazvakasikwa. Jehovha Mwari paakaita nyika namatenga,
These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
5 uye kwakanga kusati kwava namakwenzi esango panyika, uye miriwo yesango yakanga isati yamera, nokuti Jehovha Mwari akanga asati anayisa mvura panyika uye kwakanga kusina munhu wokuzorima panyika,
And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and [there was] not a man to till the ground.
6 asi hova dzaibuda dzichibva pasi uye dzichinyorovesa pasi pose,
But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 Jehovha Mwari akaumba munhu kubva paguruva revhu uye akafemera mweya woupenyu mumhino dzake, uye munhu akava mupenyu.
And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 Zvino Jehovha Mwari akanga adyara bindu kumabvazuva, muEdheni; uye akaisa munhu waakanga aumba imomo.
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 Uye Jehovha Mwari akaita mhando dzose dzemiti kuti dzimere kubva muvhu, miti yaifadza meso uye yakanga yakanaka pakudya. Pakati pebindu pakanga pano muti woupenyu nomuti wokuziva zvakanaka nezvakaipa.
And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10 Rwizi rwaidiridza bindu rwaiyerera ruchibva muEdheni; kubva imomo rwakaparadzana rukava hova ina.
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
11 Zita rerwokutanga ndiPishoni; runopoterera nomunyika yose yeHavhira, imomo mune goridhe.
The name of the first [is] Pison: that [is] it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where [there is] gold;
12 (Goridhe romunyika iyoyo rakanaka; uyewo dheriamu nebwe reonikisi zvirimo.)
And the gold of that land [is] good: there [is] bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 Zita rorwizi rwechipiri ndiGihoni; runopoterera nomunyika yose yeEtiopia.
And the name of the second river [is] Gihon: the same [is] it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 Zita rorwizi rwechitatu ndiTigirisi; runoyerera ruchitevedza rutivi rwamabvazuva eAshuri. Uye rwizi rwechina ndiYufuratesi.
And the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel: that [is] it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river [is] Euphrates.
15 Jehovha Mwari akatora munhu akamuisa mubindu reEdheni kuti aririme nokurichengeta.
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16 Uye Jehovha Mwari akarayira munhu achiti, “Wakasununguka kuti udye zvinobva pamuti upi zvawo uri mubindu;
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 asi haufaniri kudya zvinobva pamuti wokuziva zvakanaka nezvakaipa, nokuti pauchaudya uchafa zvirokwazvo.”
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
18 Jehovha Mwari akati, “Hazvina kunaka kuti munhu agare ari oga. Ndichamuitira mubatsiri akamukwanira.”
And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
19 Zvino Jehovha Mwari akanga aumba kubva muvhu, mhuka dzose dzesango neshiri dzose dzedenga. Akazviuyisa kumunhu kuti aone kuti achazvitumidza mazita api, uye chisikwa chipenyu chimwe nechimwe sezvachakatumidzwa nomunhu, ndiro rakava zita racho.
And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof.
20 Saka munhu akatumidza mazita kuzvipfuwo zvose, nokushiri dzose dzedenga nemhuka dzose dzesango. Asi kuna Adhamu kwakanga kusina kuwanikwa mubatsiri akamukwanira.
And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
21 Saka Jehovha Mwari akaita kuti munhu avate hope huru; uye paakanga achakavata, akatora rumwe rumbabvu rwomunhu akavhara nenyama nzvimbo yaakarubvisa.
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 Ipapo Jehovha Mwari akaita mukadzi kubva parumbabvu rwaakanga abvisa pamunhu, uye akamuuyisa kumurume.
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 Murume akati, “Zvino uyu ibvupa ramapfupa angu nenyama yenyama yangu; achanzi ‘mukadzi’, nokuti akatorwa kubva pamurume.”
And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24 Nokuda kwechikonzero ichi, murume achasiya baba namai vake agonamatira kumukadzi wake, uye vachava nyama imwe.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 Murume nomukadzi wake vakanga vasina kusimira vose, uye havana kutongonyara.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
