Mwanzo 2
1 Kisha mbingu na nchi zilimalizika, na viumbe hai vyote vilivyo jaza mbingu na nchi.
And the heavens and the earth and all their host were finished.
2 Siku ya saba Mungu alifikia mwisho wa kazi yake ambayo aliifanya, na kwa hiyo alipumzika siku ya saba kutoka kwenye kazi yake yote.
And God had finished on the seventh day his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 Mungu akaibarikia siku ya saba na akaitakasa, kwa sababu katika siku hiyo alipumzika kutoka kwenye kazi yake yote ambayo aliifanya katika uumbaji.
And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, because that on it he rested from all his work which God had created in making it.
4 Haya yalikuwa ni matukio yahusuyo mbingu na nchi, wakati vilipoumbwa, katika siku ambayo Yahwe Mungu aliumba nchi na mbingu.
These are the histories of the heavens and the earth, when they were created, in the day that Jehovah Elohim made earth and heavens,
5 Hapakuwa na msitu wa shambani uliokuwa katika nchi, na hapakuwa na mmea wa shambani uliokuwa umechipuka, kwa kuwa Yahwe Mungu alikuwa hajasababisha mvua kunyesha juu ya nchi, na hapakuwa na mtu wa kulima ardhi.
and every shrub of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew; for Jehovah Elohim had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground.
6 Lakini ukungu uliinuka juu kutoka kwenye nchi na kuutia maji uso wote wa ardhi.
But a mist went up from the earth, and moistened the whole surface of the ground.
7 Yahwe Mungu aliumba mtu kutoka mavumbi ya ardhi, na akampulizia puani pumzi ya uhai, na mtu akawa kiumbe hai.
And Jehovah Elohim formed Man, dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and Man became a living soul.
8 Yahwe Mungu aliotesha bustani upande wa mashariki, katika Edeni, na pale akamuweka mtu ambaye alimuumba.
And Jehovah Elohim planted a garden in Eden eastward, and there put Man whom he had formed.
9 Kutoka ardhini Yahwe Mungu alifanya kila mti uote ambao unapendeza na ni mzuri kwa chakula. Hii ni pamoja na mti wa uzima ambao ulikuwa katikati ya bustani, na mti wa ujuzi wa mema na mabaya.
And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim made every tree grow that is 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 Mto ukatoka nje ya Edeni kuitia maji bustani. Na kutoka pale ukagawanyika na kuwa mito minne.
And a river went out of Eden, to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four main streams.
11 Jina la ule wa kwanza ni Pishoni. Huu ni ule ambao unatiririka kupitia nchi yote ya Havila, ambapo kuna dhahabu.
The name of the one is Pison: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Havilah, where the gold is.
12 Dhahabu ya inchi ile ni nzuri. pia kuna bedola na jiwe shohamu.
And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and the onyx stone are there.
13 Jina la mto wa pili ni Gihoni. Huu unatiririka kupitia nchi yote ya kushi.
And the name of the second river is Gihon: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Cush.
14 Jina la mto wa tatu ni Hidekeli, ambao unatiririka mashariki mwa Ashuru. Mto wa nne ni Frati.
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which flows forward toward Asshur. And the fourth river, that is Euphrates.
15 Yahwe Mungu alimtwaa mtu na kumweka ndani ya bustani ya Edeni kuilima na kuitunza.
And Jehovah Elohim took Man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it and to guard it.
16 Yahwe Mungu alimuagiza mtu akisema, “kutoka kwenye kila mti bustanini waweza kula kwa uhuru.
And Jehovah Elohim commanded Man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt freely eat;
17 Lakini kutoka kwenye mti wa ujuzi wa mema na mabaya usile, kwa kuwa siku utakayo kula kutoka katika mti huo, utakufa hakika.”
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt certainly die.
18 Kisha Yahwe Mungu akasema, “siyo jambo jema kwamba mtu huyu lazima awe pekeyake. Nitamfanyia msaidizi anaye mfaa.”
And Jehovah Elohim said, It is not good that Man should be alone; I will make him a helpmate, his like.
19 Kutoka ardhini Yahwe Mungu akafanya kila mnyama wa kondeni na kila ndege wa angani. Kisha akawaleta kwa mtu huyu aone angewapatia majina gani. Jina ambalo mtu huyu alimwita kila kiumbe hai, hili ndilo lilikuwa jina lake.
And out of the ground Jehovah Elohim had formed every animal of the field and all fowl of the heavens, and brought [them] to Man, to see what he would call them; and whatever Man called each living soul, that was its name.
20 Mtu huyu akawapatia majina wanyama wote, ndege wote wa angani, na kila mnyama wa mwitu. Lakini kwa mtu mwenyewe hapakuwa na msaidizi wa kumfaa yeye.
And Man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but as for Adam, he found no helpmate, his like.
21 Yahwe Mungu akaleta usingizi mzito kwa mtu huyu, kwa hiyo mtu huyu akalala. Yahwe Mungu akatwaa moja ya mbavu za mtu huyu na akapafunika pale alipo chukua ubavu.
And Jehovah Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon Man; and he slept. And he took one of his ribs and closed up flesh in its stead.
22 Kwa ubavu ambao Yahwe Mungu alichukua toka kwa mtu huyu, akafanya mwanamke na akamleta kwa mtu huyu.
And Jehovah Elohim built the rib that he had taken from Man into a woman; and brought her to Man.
23 Mwanaume akasema, “kwa sasa, huyu ni mfupa katika mifupa yangu, na nyama katika nyama yangu. ataitwa 'mwanamke,' kwa sababu ametwaliwa katika mwanaume.
And Man said, This time it is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh: this shall be called Woman, because this was taken out of a man.
24 Kwa hiyo mwanaume atawaacha baba yake na mama yake, ataungamanika na mke wake, na watakuwa mwili mmoja.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.
25 Wote wawili walikuwa uchi, mwanaume na mke wake, lakini hawakuona aibu.
And they were both naked, Man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
