1 Mose 2
1 Yei ne ɛkwan a Onyankopɔn faa so bɔɔ ɔsoro ne asase ne deɛ ɛwɔ mu nyinaa.
And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;
2 Ɛduruu ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no, na Onyankopɔn awie nnwuma a ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ yɛeɛ no nyinaa. Enti, ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no, ɔgyee nʼahome.
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 Onyankopɔn hyiraa ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no, na ɔtee ho. Ɛfiri sɛ, saa ɛda no na Onyankopɔn gyee nʼahome firii adebɔ nnwuma no nyinaa ho.
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 Yei ne ɔsoro ne asase bɔ ho asɛm. Ɛberɛ a Awurade Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ɔsoro ne asase no.
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 Na afifideɛ biara nni asase so, na wiram nnua biara nso nni hɔ. Ɛfiri sɛ, na Awurade Onyankopɔn mmaa nsuo ntɔɔ wɔ asase so, na onipa nso nni asase so a ɔbɛyɛ so adwuma.
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 Nanso, nsutire puepue fifirii asase mu bɛpetee asase ani nyinaa.
and a mist goeth up from the earth, and hath watered the whole face of the ground.
7 Awurade Onyankopɔn de asase no so dɔteɛ nwonoo onipa, na ɔhomee nkwa home guu ne hwene mu, maa onipa no bɛyɛɛ ɔteasefoɔ.
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 Afei, Awurade Onyankopɔn yɛɛ turo wɔ Eden apueeɛ fam, na ɛhɔ na ɔde onipa a ɔnwonoo no no tenaeɛ.
And Jehovah God planteth a garden in Eden, at the east, and He setteth there the man whom He hath formed;
9 Awurade Onyankopɔn maa nnua ahodoɔ nyinaa fifirii asase no so; nnua a ɛyɛ fɛ na wɔdie. Turo no mfimfini no na nkwa dua, ɛnna papa ne bɔnehunu dua sisie.
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 Na nsuo tene firi Eden bɛgugu turo no mu afifideɛ no so; ɛfiri hɔ a, na saa nsuo no mu apaapae ayɛ nsubɔntene ɛnan.
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 Wɔtoo nsuo a apaapae no mu deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no edin Pison. Na ɛkontonkonton fa Hawila asase a sikakɔkɔɔ wɔ so no so nyinaa.
the name of the one [is] Pison, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of the Havilah where the gold [is],
12 Na saa asase no so sikakɔkɔɔ yɛ. Na ɛhyɛ a ɛyɛ hwam ne apopobibirieboɔ nso wɔ hɔ.
and the gold of that land [is] good, there [is] the bdolach and the shoham stone;
13 Asubɔnten a ɛtɔ so mmienu no din de Gihon. Na ɛno ara na abobare afa Kus asase ho nyinaa.
and the name of the second river [is] Gibon, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Cush;
14 Asuo a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa no, na wɔfrɛ no Tigris a ɛtene kɔ asase kɛseɛ Asiria apueeɛ fam. Asuo a ɛtɔ so ɛnan no nso, na wɔfrɛ no Eufrate.
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 Awurade Onyankopɔn faa onipa no de no kɔtenaa Eden turo mu hɔ sɛ ɔnyɛ mu adwuma, na ɔnhwɛ so.
And Jehovah God taketh the man, and causeth him to rest in the garden of Eden, to serve it, and to keep it.
16 Na Awurade Onyankopɔn bɔɔ onipa no kɔkɔ sɛ, “Wowɔ ho ɛkwan sɛ, wodi dua biara so aba wɔ turo yi mu ha;
And Jehovah God layeth a charge on the man, saying, 'Of every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat;
17 nanso wonni ho ɛkwan sɛ wodi papa ne bɔnehunu dua no so aba. Ɛda a wobɛdie no, deɛ ɛbɛyɛ biara, wobɛwu.”
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 Afei, Awurade Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ sɛ onipa nko ara tena; mɛbɔ ɔboafoɔ a ɔfata no ama no.”
And Jehovah God saith, 'Not good for the man to be alone, I do make to him an helper — as his counterpart.'
19 Saa ɛberɛ no na, Awurade Onyankopɔn de mfuturo abɔ wiram mmoa ne ewiem nnomaa nyinaa. Enti, ɔde wɔn brɛɛ onipa sɛ ɔnhwehwɛ edin ko a ɔde bɛtoto wɔn. Edin a onipa de too abɔdeɛ a nkwa wɔ mu biara no, ɛno ara na ɛyɛɛ edin a wɔde frɛɛ no.
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 Enti, onipa totoo nyɛmmoa, ewiem nnomaa ne wiram mmoa no nyinaa edin. Nanso, onipa deɛ, wannya ɔboafoɔ a ɔfata no.
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 Enti, Awurade Onyankopɔn maa onipa daa nnahɔɔ. Ɛberɛ a onipa daa saa no, ɔyii ne mfe mu mpadeɛ baako, na ɔde honam taree deɛ ɔyii mpadeɛ hɔ no.
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 Afei, Awurade Onyankopɔn de mfe mu mpadeɛ baako a ɔyi firii onipa mu no bɔɔ ɔbaa, de no maa onipa no.
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 Na Adam kaa sɛ, “Mʼankasa me dompe ne me honam bi nie. Wɔbɛfrɛ yei ɔbaa ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbarima mu na wɔyii no firiiɛ.”
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 Yei enti na ɔbarima gya nʼagya ne ne na de ne ho kɔbata ne yere ho sɛdeɛ wɔn baanu bɛyɛ nnipa korɔ.
therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and hath cleaved unto his wife, and they have become one flesh.
25 Saa ɛberɛ no, na ɔbarima ne ne yere nyinaa ho da hɔ, nanso na wɔmfɛre.
And they are both of them naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
