Mwanzo 2
1 Kisha mbingu na nchi zilimalizika, na viumbe hai vyote vilivyo jaza mbingu na nchi.
And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;
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 completeth by the seventh day His work which He hath made, and ceaseth by the seventh day from all His work which He hath 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 blesseth the seventh day, and sanctifieth it, for in it He hath ceased from all His work which God had prepared for making.
4 Haya yalikuwa ni matukio yahusuyo mbingu na nchi, wakati vilipoumbwa, katika siku ambayo Yahwe Mungu aliumba nchi na mbingu.
These [are] births of the heavens and of the earth in their being prepared, in the day of Jehovah God's making 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 no shrub of the field is yet in the earth, and no herb of the field yet sprouteth, for Jehovah God hath not rained upon the earth, and a man there is not to serve the ground,
6 Lakini ukungu uliinuka juu kutoka kwenye nchi na kuutia maji uso wote wa ardhi.
and a mist goeth up from the earth, and hath watered the whole face 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 God formeth the man — dust from the ground, and breatheth into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becometh a living creature.
8 Yahwe Mungu aliotesha bustani upande wa mashariki, katika Edeni, na pale akamuweka mtu ambaye alimuumba.
And Jehovah God planteth a garden in Eden, at the east, and He setteth there the man whom He hath 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 Jehovah God causeth to sprout from the ground every tree desirable for appearance, and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of 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 is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from thence it is parted, and hath become four chief [rivers];
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, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of the 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, there [is] the bdolach and the shoham stone;
13 Jina la mto wa pili ni Gihoni. Huu unatiririka kupitia nchi yote ya kushi.
and the name of the second river [is] Gibon, it [is] that which is surrounding 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, it [is] that which is going east of Asshur; and the fourth river is Phrat.
15 Yahwe Mungu alimtwaa mtu na kumweka ndani ya bustani ya Edeni kuilima na kuitunza.
And Jehovah God taketh the man, and causeth him to rest in the garden of Eden, to serve it, and to keep it.
16 Yahwe Mungu alimuagiza mtu akisema, “kutoka kwenye kila mti bustanini waweza kula kwa uhuru.
And Jehovah God layeth a charge on the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat;
17 Lakini kutoka kwenye mti wa ujuzi wa mema na mabaya usile, kwa kuwa siku utakayo kula kutoka katika mti huo, utakufa hakika.”
and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it — dying thou dost die.'
18 Kisha Yahwe Mungu akasema, “siyo jambo jema kwamba mtu huyu lazima awe pekeyake. Nitamfanyia msaidizi anaye mfaa.”
And Jehovah God saith, 'Not good for the man to be alone, I do make to him an helper — as his counterpart.'
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 Jehovah God formeth from the ground every beast of the field, and every fowl of the heavens, and bringeth in unto the man, to see what he doth call it; and whatever the man calleth a living creature, that [is] 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 the man calleth names to all the cattle, and to fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; and to man hath not been found an helper — as his counterpart.
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 God causeth a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he sleepeth, and He taketh one of his ribs, and closeth 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 God buildeth up the rib which He hath taken out of the man into a woman, and bringeth her in unto the 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 the man saith, 'This [is] the [proper] step! bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!' for this it is called Woman, for from a man hath this been taken;
24 Kwa hiyo mwanaume atawaacha baba yake na mama yake, ataungamanika na mke wake, na watakuwa mwili mmoja.
therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and hath cleaved unto his wife, and they have become one flesh.
25 Wote wawili walikuwa uchi, mwanaume na mke wake, lakini hawakuona aibu.
And they are both of them naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
