Genesis 2
1 And so the heavens and the earth were completed, with all their adornment.
Konsa, Bondye te fin fè syèl la, latè a ansanm ak tout sa ki ladan yo.
2 And on the seventh day, God fulfilled his work, which he had made. And on the seventh day he rested from all his work, which he had accomplished.
Sou sis jou, Bondye te fin fè tout sa l' t'ap fè a. Setyèm jou a, li sispann travay.
3 And he blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. For in it, he had ceased from all his work: the work whereby God created whatever he should make.
Li beni setyèm jou a, li mete l' apa pou li, paske se jou sa a li te sispann travay apre li te fin kreye tout sa l' t'ap kreye a.
4 These are the generations of heaven and earth, when they were created, in the day when the Lord God made heaven and earth,
Se konsa sa te pase lè Bondye t'ap kreye syèl la ak latè a. Lè Seyè a, Bondye a, t'ap fè latè ansanm ak tou sa ki nan syèl la,
5 and every sapling of the field, before it would rise up in the land, and every wild plant, before it would germinate. For the Lord God had not brought rain upon the earth, and there was no man to work the land.
pa t' gen yon ti pyebwa sou tè a. Ankenn zèb pa t' ankò pouse nan jaden, paske Bondye pa t' voye lapli tonbe sou tè a. Lèfini, pa t' gen moun pou travay latè.
6 But a fountain ascended from the earth, irrigating the entire surface of the land.
Men, yon vapè dlo leve soti nan tè a, li wouze tout tè a.
7 And then the Lord God formed man from the clay of the earth, and he breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
Lè sa a, Seyè a, Bondye a, pran pousyè tè, li fè yon nonm. Li soufle nan twou nen nonm lan pou l' ba li lavi. Epi nonm lan vin vivan.
8 Now the Lord God had planted a Paradise of enjoyment from the beginning. In it, he placed the man whom he had formed.
Seyè a, Bondye a, plante yon jaden yon kote yo rele Edenn, bò kote solèy leve a. Se la li mete nonm li te fè a.
9 And from the soil the Lord God produced every tree that was beautiful to behold and pleasant to eat. And even the tree of life was in the midst of Paradise, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Seyè a, Bondye a, te fè tout kalite pyebwa leve nan jaden an, bèl pyebwa ki donnen fwi ki bon pou manje. Nan mitan jaden an te gen de gwo pyebwa. Yonn se te pyebwa ki bay lavi a, lòt la se te pyebwa ki fè moun konnen sa ki byen ak sa ki mal la.
10 And a river went forth from the place of enjoyment so as to irrigate Paradise, which is divided from there into four heads.
Yon gwo larivyè soti nan peyi Edenn, li wouze jaden an. Larivyè a te fè kat branch.
11 The name of one is the Phison; it is that which runs through all the land of Hevilath, where gold is born;
Premye branch lan te rele Pichon. Se larivyè sa a ki wouze tout peyi Avila a, peyi kote yo jwenn anpil lò a.
12 and the gold of that land is the finest. In that place is found bdellium and the onyx stone.
Se nan peyi sa a yo jwenn pi bon lò ansanm ak pyebwa gonm arabik ak yon pyè wouj ki koute chè yo rele oniks.
13 And the name of the second river is the Gehon; it is that which runs through all the land of Ethiopia.
Dezyèm larivyè a rele Giyon. Se li ki wouze tout peyi Kouch la.
14 Truly, the name of the third river is the Tigris; it advances opposite the Assyrians. But the fourth river, it is the Euphrates.
Twazyèm larivyè a rele Tig. Se li ki pase nan peyi Lasiri, sou bò solèy leve a. Katriyèm larivyè a se Lefrat.
15 Thus, the Lord God brought the man, and put him into the Paradise of enjoyment, so that it would be attended and preserved by him.
Seyè a, Bondye a, pran nonm lan, li mete l' nan jaden Edenn lan pou l' travay li, pou l' pran swen l'.
16 And he instructed him, saying: “From every tree of Paradise, you shall eat.
Seyè a, Bondye a, bay nonm lan lòd sa a. Ou mèt manje donn tout pyebwa ki nan jaden an.
17 But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat. For in whatever day you will eat from it, you will die a death.”
Men, piga ou manje donn pyebwa ki fè moun konnen sa ki byen ak sa ki mal la. Paske, jou ou manje l', w'ap mouri.
18 The Lord God also said: “It is not good for the man to be alone. Let us make a helper for him similar to himself.”
Seyè a, Bondye a, di ankò. Sa pa bon pou nonm lan rete pou kont li. M'ap fè yon lòt moun sanble avè l' pou ede l'.
19 Therefore, the Lord God, having formed from the soil all the animals of the earth and all the flying creatures of the air, brought them to Adam, in order to see what he would call them. For whatever Adam would call any living creature, that would be its name.
Se konsa, Seyè a, Bondye a, pran pousyè tè, li fè tout kalite zannimo ki nan savann ak tout kalite zwazo k'ap vole nan syèl la. Lè l' fini, li mennen yo bay nonm lan pou wè ki non li tapral ba yo. Se non li te ba yo a ki rete pou yo nèt.
20 And Adam called each of the living things by their names: all the flying creatures of the air, and all the wild beasts of the land. Yet truly, for Adam, there was not found a helper similar to himself.
Se konsa, nonm lan bay tout bèt yo gade, tout bèt nan bwa ak tout zwazo ki nan syèl la non yo. Men, pa t' gen yonn ki te sanble avè l', ki ta ka ede l'.
21 And so the Lord God sent a deep sleep upon Adam. And when he was fast asleep, he took one of his ribs, and he completed it with flesh for it.
Lè sa a, Seyè a, Bondye a, fè dòmi pran nonm lan. Msye dòmi nèt ale. Pandan l'ap dòmi an, Bondye louvri bò kòt li, li wete yon zo kòt. Apre sa, li fèmen twou a byen fèmen.
22 And the Lord God built up the rib, which he took from Adam, into a woman. And he led her to Adam.
Avèk zo kòt li te wete nan nonm lan, li fè yon fanm, li mennen l' ba li.
23 And Adam said: “Now this is bone from my bones, and flesh from my flesh. This one shall be called woman, because she was taken from man.”
Lè nonm lan wè l', li di. Aa! Fwa sa a, men yonn ki menm jan avè m'! Zo l' se zo mwen. Chè l' se chè mwen. Y'a rele l' fanm, paske se nan gason li soti.
24 For this reason, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife; and the two shall be as one flesh.
Se poutèt sa, gason an va kite papa l' ak manman l' pou l' mete tèt li ansanm ak madanm li, pou tout de fè yon sèl.
25 Now they were both naked: Adam, of course, and his wife. And they were not ashamed.
Nonm lan ak madanm li te toutouni. Men, yo pa t' wont rete konsa.
