Senesi 2
1 Naʻe pehē ʻa hono ngaohi ʻo ʻosi ʻae langi mo e fonua, mo hona nāunau kotoa pē.
Then the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the living things that filled them.
2 Pea ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho kuo fakaʻosi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ʻene ngāue ʻaia naʻa ne fai; pea naʻe tutuku ia ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho, mei heʻene ngāue kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa ne fai.
On the seventh day God came to the end of his work which he had done, and so he rested on the seventh day from all his work.
3 Pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho, mo ne fakatapui ia: koeʻuhi ko ia ia naʻa ne tutuku ai mei heʻene ngāue kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe fakatupu mo ngaohi ʻe he ʻOtua.
God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he rested from all his work which he had done in his creation.
4 Ko e tala fakahohoko eni ki he ngaohi ʻoe langi mo māmani, ʻi he ʻaho ʻaia naʻe fakatupu ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻa māmani pea mo e langi,
These were the events concerning the heavens and the earth, when they were created, on the day that Yahweh God made the earth and the heavens.
5 Mo e ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ʻi he teʻeki ke tuʻu ia ʻi he kelekele, mo e ʻakau iiki kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, ʻi he teʻeki ai ke tupu: he naʻe teʻeki ke tuku ʻe he ʻOtua ha ʻuha ki he kelekele, pea naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ke ngoueʻi ʻae kelekele.
No bush of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.
6 Ka naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae vaivao mei he fonua, ke fakaviviku ʻae funga kelekele kotoa pē.
But a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻae tangata mei he efu ʻoe kelekele, pea ne mānava ki hono avaʻi ihu ʻae mānava ʻoe moʻui; pea hoko ʻae tangata ko e laumālie moʻui.
Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being.
8 Pea naʻe tō ʻae ngoue ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki he potu hahake ʻi ʻIteni; pea ne tuku ki ai ʻae tangata ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi.
Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 Pea naʻe fakatupu ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua mei he kelekele ʻae ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoku matamatalelei, pea lelei ki he kai; mo e ʻakau ʻoe moʻui foki ʻi he loto ngoue, pea mo e ʻakau ʻoe ʻilo ʻoe lelei mo e kovi.
Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. This included the tree of life that was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae vaitafe ʻi ʻIteni ke fakaviviku ʻae ngoue; pea ne mavahevahe ia mei ai ʻi he mangaʻivai ʻe fā.
A river went out of Eden to water the garden. From there it divided and became four rivers.
11 Ko e hingoa ʻoe ʻuluaki ko Pisoni: ko ia ia ʻoku takatakai ʻae fonua kotoa ko Havila, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae koula;
The name of the first is Pishon. It is the one which flows throughout the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 Pea ʻoku lelei ʻae koula ʻoe fonua ko ia pea ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae mataʻitofe, mo e maka ko e onike.
The gold of that land is good. There are also bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 Pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono ua ʻoe vaitafe ko Kihoni: ko ia ia ʻoku takatakai ʻae fonua kotoa ko Kusi.
The name of the second river is Gihon. This one flows throughout the whole land of Cush.
14 Pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono tolu ʻoe vaitafe ko Hitikeli: ko ia ia ʻoku tafe atu ki he hahake ʻo ʻAsilia. Pea ko hono fā ʻoe vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi.
The name of the third river is Tigris, which flows east of Ashur. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻae tangata ʻone tuku ia ki he ngoue ko ʻIteni, ke tauhi mo leʻo ki ai.
Yahweh God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to work it and to maintain it.
16 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki he tangata, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ngofua ʻa hoʻo kai mei he ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoe ngoue,
Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “From every tree in the garden you may freely eat.
17 Ka ko e ʻakau ʻoe ʻilo ʻoe lelei mo e kovi, ʻe ʻikai te ke kai mei ai: he ko e ʻaho ko ia te ke kai ai, ko e moʻoni te ke mate.”
But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not eat, for on the day that you eat from it, you will surely die.”
18 Pea naʻe folofola ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻOku ʻikai lelei ke tokotaha pe ʻae tangata: te u ngaohi kiate ia ha tokoni ʻoku taau mo ia.”
Then Yahweh God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make him a helper suitable for him.”
19 Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, mei he kelekele ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, mo e manu kotoa pē ʻoe ʻatā; pea ne ʻomi ia kia ʻAtama, ke vakai pe ko e hā te ne ui ʻakinautolu: pea ʻilonga ʻae hingoa naʻe ai ʻe ʻAtama ki he meʻa moʻui kotoa pē, ko hono hingoa ia.
Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the sky. Then he brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
20 Pea naʻe fakahingoa ʻe ʻAtama ʻae fanga manu lalahi kotoa pē, mo e fanga manupuna ʻoe ʻatā, mo e fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe vao; ka naʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo kia ʻAtama ha tokoni naʻe taau mo ia.
The man gave names to all the livestock, to all the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field. But for the man himself there was found no helper suitable for him.
21 Pea naʻe tuku ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻae mohe maʻu kia ʻAtama, pea naʻa ne mohe: pea naʻa ne toʻo hono hui vakavaka ʻe taha, pea naʻe toe fakamaʻopoʻopo ʻa hono kakano.
Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, so the man slept. Yahweh God took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh where he took the rib.
22 Pea ko e hui vakavaka ʻaia naʻe toʻo ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua mei he tangata, naʻa ne ngaohi mei ai ʻae fefine, pea ʻomi ia ki he tangata.
With the rib that Yahweh God had taken from the man, he made a woman and brought her to the man.
23 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAtama, “Ko e hui eni ʻo hoku ngaahi hui, mo e kakano ʻo hoku kakano: ʻe ui ia ‘ko e Fefine,’ koeʻuhi naʻe toʻo ia mei he Tangata.”
The man said, “This time, this one is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called 'woman,' because she was taken out of man.”
24 Ko ia ʻe tukuange ai ʻe he tangata ʻa ʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻē, kae pikitai ki hono uaifi: pea te na kakano taha pe.
Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, he will be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
25 Pea naʻa na fakatou telefua, ʻae tangata mo hono uaifi, pea naʻe ʻikai te na mā ai.
They were both naked, the man and his wife, but were not ashamed.
