< Genesis 2 >

1 Báyìí ni Ọlọ́run parí dídá àwọn ọ̀run àti ayé, àti ohun gbogbo tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀.
The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished.
2 Ní ọjọ́ keje Ọlọ́run sì parí iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ tí ó ti ń ṣe; ó sì sinmi ní ọjọ́ keje kúrò nínú iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ gbogbo tí ó ti ń ṣe.
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 Ọlọ́run sì súre fún ọjọ́ keje, ó sì yà á sí mímọ́, nítorí pé ní ọjọ́ náà ni ó sinmi kúrò nínú iṣẹ́ dídá ayé tí ó ti ń ṣe.
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 Èyí ni ìtàn bí Ọlọ́run ṣe dá àwọn ọ̀run àti ayé nígbà tí ó dá wọn. Nígbà tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run dá ayé àti àwọn ọ̀run.
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 Kò sí igi igbó kan ní orí ilẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí ewéko igbó kan tí ó tí ì hù jáde ní ilẹ̀, nítorí Olúwa Ọlọ́run kò tí ì rọ̀jò sórí ilẹ̀, kò sì sí ènìyàn láti ro ilẹ̀.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n ìsun omi ń jáde láti ilẹ̀, ó sì ń bu omi rin gbogbo ilẹ̀.
but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 Olúwa Ọlọ́run sì fi erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀ mọ ènìyàn, ó si mí èémí ìyè sí ihò imú rẹ̀, ènìyàn sì di alààyè ọkàn.
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 Olúwa Ọlọ́run sì gbin ọgbà kan sí Edeni ní ìhà ìlà-oòrùn, níbẹ̀ ni ó fi ọkùnrin náà tí ó ti dá sí.
Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 Olúwa Ọlọ́run sì mú kí onírúurú igi hù jáde láti inú ilẹ̀, àwọn igi tí ó dùn ún wò lójú, tí ó sì dára fún oúnjẹ. Ní àárín ọgbà náà ni igi ìyè àti igi tí ń mú ènìyàn mọ rere àti búburú wà.
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 Odò kan sì ń ti Edeni sàn wá láti bu omi rin ọgbà náà, láti ibẹ̀ ni odò náà gbé ya sí ipa mẹ́rin.
A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers.
11 Orúkọ èkínní ni Pisoni, òun ni ó sàn yí gbogbo ilẹ̀ Hafila ká, níbi tí wúrà gbé wà.
The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 (Wúrà ilẹ̀ náà dára, òjìá àti òkúta óníkìsì oníyebíye wà níbẹ̀ pẹ̀lú).
and the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and onyx stone are also there.
13 Orúkọ odò kejì ni Gihoni, òun ni ó sàn yí gbogbo ilẹ̀ Kuṣi ká.
The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush.
14 Orúkọ odò kẹta ni Tigirisi, òun ni ó sàn ní apá ìlà-oòrùn ilẹ̀ Asiria. Odò kẹrin ni Eufurate.
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 Olúwa Ọlọ́run mú ọkùnrin náà sínú ọgbà Edeni láti máa ṣe iṣẹ́ níbẹ̀, kí ó sì máa ṣe ìtọ́jú rẹ̀.
Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
16 Olúwa Ọlọ́run sì pàṣẹ fún ọkùnrin náà pé, “Ìwọ lè jẹ lára èyíkéyìí èso àwọn igi inú ọgbà;
Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
17 ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ nínú èso igi ìmọ̀ rere àti èso igi ìmọ̀ búburú, nítorí ní ọjọ́ tí ìwọ bá jẹ ẹ́ ni ìwọ yóò kùú.”
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 Olúwa Ọlọ́run wí pé, “Kò dára kí ọkùnrin wà ní òun nìkan. Èmi yóò ṣe olùrànlọ́wọ́ tí ó rí bí i rẹ̀ fún un.”
Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
19 Lẹ́yìn tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run ti dá àwọn ẹranko inú igbó àti gbogbo ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run láti inú erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀. Ó sì kó wọn tọ ọkùnrin náà wá láti wo orúkọ tí yóò sọ wọ́n; orúkọ tí ó sì sọ gbogbo ẹ̀dá alààyè náà ni wọ́n ń jẹ́.
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 Gbogbo ohun ọ̀sìn, ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run àti gbogbo ẹranko igbó ni ọkùnrin náà sọ ní orúkọ. Ṣùgbọ́n fún Adamu ni a kò rí olùrànlọ́wọ́ tí ó rí bí i rẹ̀.
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 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run mú kí ọkùnrin náà sùn fọnfọn; nígbà tí ó sì ń sùn, Ọlọ́run yọ egungun ìhà rẹ̀ kan, ó sì fi ẹran-ara bò ó padà.
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 Olúwa Ọlọ́run sì dá obìnrin láti inú egungun tí ó yọ ní ìhà ọkùnrin náà, Ó sì mu obìnrin náà tọ̀ ọ́ wá.
Yahweh God made a woman from the rib which he had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
23 Ọkùnrin náà sì wí pé, “Èyí ni egungun láti inú egungun mi àti ẹran-ara nínú ẹran-ara mi; ‘obìnrin’ ni a ó máa pè é, nítorí a mú un jáde láti ara ọkùnrin.”
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 Nítorí ìdí èyí, ọkùnrin yóò fi baba àti ìyá rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, yóò sì dàpọ̀ mọ́ aya rẹ̀, wọn yóò sì di ara kan.
Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.
25 Ọkùnrin náà àti aya rẹ̀ sì wà ní ìhòhò, ojú kò sì tì wọ́n.
The man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
