Semtilbu 2
1 Hiti chun van le leiset chule asunga thil umjouse chu loupi tah a sem chai ahi tai.
That is the way God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Hichun ni sagi lhin nin Pathen in athilsem chu aboncha achaiyin, hiti chun a thilsem ho jouse akon in ama akicholdo tai.
By the time it was the seventh day, God had finished the work of creating everything, so he did not work any more on that day.
3 Hiche ni sagi lhinni chu Pathen in phatthei aboh in chule atheng ahi tin aphongdoh tai, ajeh chu athilsem le anatoh jousea kon'a akicholdo ni ahi.
God blessed each seventh day, and he set those days apart to be special days, because on the seventh day God did not work any more, after finishing all his work of creating everything.
4 Hiche hi van le leiset ahung kisemdoh a akhanggui hung kipatdoh dan ho chu hiti hi ana hi. Pakai Pathen in leiset le van ahinsem patni chun.
That is how God created the heavens and the earth. God, whose name is Yahweh, made the heavens and the earth.
5 Leiset chunga tollhang a jong hamphung keh doh loulai ahi, ajeh chu Pathen in gotwi leiset chunga ajuhsah loulai ahin chule hia chu koima natong ding umlou lai ana hi.
At first there were no plants growing, because Yahweh God had not yet caused rain to fall on the ground. Furthermore, there was no one to till the ground for planting crops.
6 Ahin leiset'a kon in twimei a hung kaiyin chule leichung jouse chu twiyin achapnou vin ahi.
Instead, mist rose up from the ground, so that it watered the surface of the ground.
7 Chuin Pakai Pathen in leichunga kon in vutvai achun mihem asemin, chule a nahhom'a hinna hu alhakhum a ahile mihem chu hinna nei ahung hitai.
Then Yahweh God took some soil and formed a man. He breathed into the man’s nostrils his own breath that gives life, and as a result the man became a living person.
8 Chuphat in Pathen injong niso lama Eden hon aphut dohin hiche achun asem sa mihem chu akoi tai.
Yahweh God made a park/garden in a place named Eden, which was east of the land of Canaan, and he put there the man that he had created.
9 Chuin Pakai Pathen in leichung a kon in vetnom nom umle neh ding thingga namkim akedoh sah in ahi, chule honlai lung'a chun hinna thingphung jong chule ase le apha hetna thing-phung jong akesah in ahi.
Yahweh God also put there every kind of tree that is beautiful to see and that produced fruit that was good to eat. He also placed in the middle of the park/garden a tree [whose fruit would enable those who ate it] to live forever. He also placed there another tree whose fruit would enable those who ate it to know what actions were good [to do] and what actions were evil [to do].
10 Hiche Eden hon'a kon chun honlei chapnou jing ding in vadung along in, vadung chu vadung li in ahung long khen'in vadung li asohdoh e.
A river flowed from Eden to provide water for the park/garden. Outside of Eden, the river divided into four rivers.
11 Vadung khatna chu ahile Pishon ahin, hiche chu sana kimuna vadung ahin Havilah gam pumpia long kimvel ahi.
The name of the first river is Pishon. That river flows through all the land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 Hiche gam'a sana kimu ho chu ahoi thei lheh in a namtwi jah nom umtah chule song namtwi jong akimui.
That gold (is very pure/has no impurities in it). There is [also a sweet-smelling gum called] bdellium, and valuable stones called onyx.
13 Vadung ni lhinna chu amin Gihon ahin, hiche vadung chu Cush gam pumpia long kimvel ahi.
The name of the second river is Gihon. That river flows through all the land of Cain.
14 Vadung thum lhinna chu ahile Haddekel ahin, hiche vadung hin sah solam gam'a Asshur gam pumpia long ahin, chule vadung li lhinna chu Euphrates ahi.
The name of the third river is Tigris. It flows east of [the city of] Asshur. The name of the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 Chuin Pakai Pathen in amisem dohpa chu Eden hon sunga apuilut in hiche hon'a natong ding le avetup ding in apansah tai.
Yahweh God took the man and put him in Eden park/garden to till/cultivate it and take care of it.
16 Ahin Pathen in mipa koma athupeh chu, “Nang man hiche honsunga theiga ho khu nadei dei naneh thei cheh ahi.
But Yahweh said to him, “You must not eat the fruit of the tree that will enable you to know what actions are good to do and what actions are evil to do. If you eat any fruit from that tree, on that day your relationship with me will end. But I will permit you to eat the fruit of any of the other trees in the park/garden.”
17 Hinlah nangman hon lailung'a ase le apha hetna theiga vang naneh lou beh ding, hichu naneh nini, na thitei tei ding,’’ ahi.
18 Chujong le Pakai Pathen in aseiye, “Mihempa achanga a-umhi apha poi hijeh chun keiman a umkhom pi ding khat sempeh ing kate,’’ ati.
Then Yahweh God said, “It is not good for this man to be alone. So I will make someone who will be a suitable partner for him.”
19 Chuin Pakai Pathen in leivui chu leingan a sosah in chu in leichunga ganhing namkim asem in chule vacha ho chung lam'a alensah in chuin hiche ho jouse hi amin ipi pi asah em tin mihempa kom'a ahinpui khom in hiche a mihem pan amin vo najouse chu tuni geia amin a pangden ahi tai.
Yahweh God had taken some soil and had formed from it all kinds of animals and birds, and he brought them to the man to hear what names he would give them.
20 Hiti chun mihempa in ganhing namkim chu aminvo cheh in chunga lengthei vachate ahin, chule loujaova sahang jouse jong aminvo soh keiyin ahin mihempa kithopi ding akimu doh hih laiye.
Then the man gave names to all the kinds of livestock and birds and wild animals, but none of these creatures was a partner that was suitable for the man.
21 Hijeh chun Pakai Pathen in mihempa chu a imut-mil sah in a imut-mil kah chun Pathen in anahgu khat aladoh in anung chu aphe in atom jol peh in ahi.
So Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man was sleeping, Yahweh took out one of the man’s ribs. Then he immediately closed the opening in his body [and healed it].
22 Chuin Pakai Pathen in Adam nahgu a lah doh'a kon chun numei khat asemdoh in amanu chu Adam kom'a ahin puilut in ahi.
Yahweh then made a woman from the rib that he had taken from the man’s body, and he brought her to the man.
23 Hichun mihempan aseiye, “Amanu hi keima gu akon'a kisemdoh ahin, chule aphevou jang jong keima phevou ahin, amanu hi tu apat'a numei kiti ding ahi, ajeh chu amanu hi pasal'a kona kiladoh ahi,” ati.
The man exclaimed, “[Wow]! This is truly (someone like me/what I was looking for!) She is truly from my bones and from my flesh. So I will call her woman, because she was taken from me, a man.”
24 Hijeh a chu pasal in anu le apa a dalhah a aji numei'a beh ding chule amani chu tipum khat kiti lhon ding ahiye.
[The first woman was taken from the man’s body, ] so that is why when a man and a woman marry, they must leave their parents. The man will join very closely to his wife, so that the two of them will be as though they are one person.
25 Ahin hichepet chun pasalpa ahin numeinu ahin ani gel lhon a sagoh keuva um lhon ahin, ahi vang'in jachat na anei lhon pon ahi.
Although the man and his wife were naked, they were not ashamed about that.
