Genesis 2
1 And the heavens and the earth were finished, and the whole world of them.
Tako bude dovršeno nebo i zemlja sa svom svojom vojskom.
2 And God finished on the sixth day his works which he made, and he ceased on the seventh day from all his works which he made.
I sedmoga dana Bog dovrši svoje djelo koje učini. I počinu u sedmi dan od svega djela koje učini.
3 And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he ceased from all his works which God began to do.
I blagoslovi Bog sedmi dan i posveti, jer u taj dan počinu od svega djela svoga koje učini.
4 This [is] the book of the generation of heaven and earth, when they were made, in the day in which the Lord God made the heaven and the earth,
To je postanak neba i zemlje, tako su stvarani. Kad je Jahve, Bog, sazdao nebo i zemlju,
5 and every herb of the field before it was on the earth, and all the grass of the field before it sprang up, for God had not rained on the earth, and there was not a man to cultivate it.
još nije bilo nikakva poljskoga grmlja po zemlji, još ne bijaše niklo nikakvo poljsko bilje, jer Jahve, Bog, još ne pusti dažda na zemlju i nije bilo čovjeka da zemlju obrađuje.
6 But there rose a fountain out of the earth, and watered the whole face of the earth.
Ipak, voda je izvirala iz zemlje i natapala svu površinu zemaljsku.
7 And God formed the man [of] dust of the earth, and breathed upon his face the breath of life, and the man became a living soul.
Jahve, Bog, napravi čovjeka od praha zemaljskog i u nosnice mu udahne dah života. Tako postane čovjek živa duša.
8 And God planted a garden eastward in Edem, and placed there the man whom he had formed.
I Jahve, Bog, zasadi vrt na istoku, u Edenu, i u nj smjesti čovjeka koga je napravio.
9 And God made to spring up also out of the earth every tree beautiful to the eye and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of learning the knowledge of good and evil.
Tada Jahve, Bog, učini te iz zemlje nikoše svakovrsna stabla - pogledu zamamljiva a dobra za hranu - i stablo života, nasred vrta, i stablo spoznaje dobra i zla.
10 And a river proceeds out of Edem to water the garden, thence it divides itself into four heads.
Rijeka je izvirala iz Edena da bi natapala vrt; odatle se granala u četiri kraka.
11 The name of the one, Phisom, this it is which encircles the whole land of Evilat, where there is gold.
Prvom je ime Pišon, a optječe svom zemljom havilskom, u kojoj ima zlata.
12 And the gold of that land is good, there also is carbuncle and emerald.
Zlato je te zemlje dobro, a ima ondje i bdelija i oniksa.
13 And the name of the second river is Geon, this it is which encircles the whole land of Ethiopia.
Drugoj je rijeci ime Gihon, a optječe svu zemlju Kuš.
14 And the third river is Tigris, this is that which flows forth over against the Assyrians. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
Treća je rijeka Tigris, a teče na istok od Ašura; četvrta je Eufrat.
15 And the Lord God took the man whom he had formed, and placed him in the garden of Delight, to cultivate and keep it.
Jahve, Bog, uzme čovjeka i postavi ga u edenski vrt da ga obrađuje i čuva.
16 And the Lord God gave a charge to Adam, saying, Of every tree which is in the garden you may freely eat,
Jahve, Bog, zapovjedi čovjeku: “Sa svakoga stabla u vrtu slobodno jedi,
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil—of it you shall not eat, but in whatever day you eat of it, you shall surely die.
ali sa stabla spoznaje dobra i zla da nisi jeo! U onaj dan u koji s njega okusiš, zacijelo ćeš umrijeti!”
18 And the Lord God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone, let us make for him a help suitable to him.
I reče Jahve, Bog: “Nije dobro da čovjek bude sam: načinit ću mu pomoć kao što je on.”
19 And God formed yet farther out of the earth all the wild beasts of the field, and all the birds of the sky, and he brought them to Adam, to see what he would call them, and whatever Adam called any living creature, that was the name of it.
Tada Jahve, Bog, načini od zemlje sve životinje u polju i sve ptice u zraku i predvede ih čovjeku da vidi kako će koju nazvati, pa kako koje stvorenje čovjek prozove, da mu tako bude ime.
20 And Adam gave names to all the cattle and to all the birds of the sky, and to all the wild beasts of the field, but for Adam there was not found a help like to himself.
Čovjek nadjene imena svoj stoci, svim pticama u zraku i životinjama u polju. No čovjeku se ne nađe pomoć kao što je on.
21 And God brought a trance upon Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs, and filled up the flesh instead thereof.
Tada Jahve, Bog, pusti tvrd san na čovjeka te on zaspa, pa mu izvadi jedno rebro, a mjesto zatvori mesom.
22 And God formed the rib which he took from Adam into a woman, and brought her to Adam.
Od rebra što ga je uzeo čovjeku napravi Jahve, Bog, ženu pa je dovede čovjeku.
23 And Adam said, This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of her husband.
Nato čovjek reče: “Gle, evo kosti od mojih kostiju, mesa od mesa mojega! Ženom neka se zove, od čovjeka kad je uzeta!”
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
Stoga će čovjek ostaviti oca i majku da prione uza svoju ženu i bit će njih dvoje jedno tijelo.
A bijahu oboje goli - čovjek i njegova žena - ali ne osjećahu stida.
