Genesisi 2
1 Naizvozvo matenga nenyika zvakapera mukushongedzwa kukuru kwazvo kwose.
The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished.
2 Pazuva rechinomwe Mwari akanga apedza basa raakanga achiita; saka pazuva rechinomwe akazorora pamabasa ake ose.
On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.
3 Uye Mwari akaropafadza zuva rechinomwe akariita dzvene nokuti pazuva iro akazorora pabasa rose rokusika raakanga aita.
God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done.
4 Iyi ndiyo rondedzero yamatenga nenyika pazvakasikwa. Jehovha Mwari paakaita nyika namatenga,
This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh 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,
No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,
6 asi hova dzaibuda dzichibva pasi uye dzichinyorovesa pasi pose,
but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 Jehovha Mwari akaumba munhu kubva paguruva revhu uye akafemera mweya woupenyu mumhino dzake, uye munhu akava mupenyu.
Yahweh God formed man from 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.
Yahweh 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.
Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Rwizi rwaidiridza bindu rwaiyerera ruchibva muEdheni; kubva imomo rwakaparadzana rukava hova ina.
A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers.
11 Zita rerwokutanga ndiPishoni; runopoterera nomunyika yose yeHavhira, imomo mune goridhe.
The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through 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. Bdellium and onyx stone are also there.
13 Zita rorwizi rwechipiri ndiGihoni; runopoterera nomunyika yose yeEtiopia.
The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush.
14 Zita rorwizi rwechitatu ndiTigirisi; runoyerera ruchitevedza rutivi rwamabvazuva eAshuri. Uye rwizi rwechina ndiYufuratesi.
The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 Jehovha Mwari akatora munhu akamuisa mubindu reEdheni kuti aririme nokurichengeta.
Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
16 Uye Jehovha Mwari akarayira munhu achiti, “Wakasununguka kuti udye zvinobva pamuti upi zvawo uri mubindu;
Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
17 asi haufaniri kudya zvinobva pamuti wokuziva zvakanaka nezvakaipa, nokuti pauchaudya uchafa zvirokwazvo.”
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 die.”
18 Jehovha Mwari akati, “Hazvina kunaka kuti munhu agare ari oga. Ndichamuitira mubatsiri akamukwanira.”
Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to 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.
Out of the ground Yahweh 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 Saka munhu akatumidza mazita kuzvipfuwo zvose, nokushiri dzose dzedenga nemhuka dzose dzesango. Asi kuna Adhamu kwakanga kusina kuwanikwa mubatsiri akamukwanira.
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 comparable to him.
21 Saka Jehovha Mwari akaita kuti munhu avate hope huru; uye paakanga achakavata, akatora rumwe rumbabvu rwomunhu akavhara nenyama nzvimbo yaakarubvisa.
Yahweh 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 Ipapo Jehovha Mwari akaita mukadzi kubva parumbabvu rwaakanga abvisa pamunhu, uye akamuuyisa kumurume.
Yahweh God made a woman from the rib which he had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
23 Murume akati, “Zvino uyu ibvupa ramapfupa angu nenyama yenyama yangu; achanzi ‘mukadzi’, nokuti akatorwa kubva pamurume.”
The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will 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 a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.
25 Murume nomukadzi wake vakanga vasina kusimira vose, uye havana kutongonyara.
The man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
