Genesis 2
1 Igitur perfecti sunt cæli et terra, et omnis ornatus eorum.
The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished.
2 Complevitque Deus die septimo opus suum quod fecerat: et requievit die septimo ab universo opere quod patrarat.
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 Et benedixit diei septimo; et sanctificavit illum: quia in ipso cessaverat ab omni opere suo quod creavit Deus ut faceret.
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 Istæ sunt generationes cæli et terræ, quando creata sunt, in die quo fecit Dominus Deus cælum et terram:
This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.
5 Et omne virgultum agri antequam orietur in terra, omnemque herbam regionis priusquam germinaret: non enim pluerat Dominus Deus super terram, et homo non erat qui operaretur terram:
No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,
6 Sed fons ascendebat e terra, irrigans universam superficiem terræ.
but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 Formavit igitur Dominus Deus hominem de limo terræ, et inspiravit in faciem eius spiraculum vitæ, et factus est homo in animam viventem.
The LORD 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 Plantaverat autem Dominus Deus Paradisum voluptatis a principio: in quo posuit hominem quem formaverat.
The LORD God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 Produxitque Dominus Deus de humo omne lignum pulchrum visu, et ad vescendum suave: lignum etiam vitæ in medio Paradisi, lignumque scientiæ boni et mali.
Out of the ground the LORD 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 Et fluvius egrediebatur de loco voluptatis ad irrigandum Paradisum, qui inde dividitur in quatuor capita.
A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers.
11 Nomen uni Phison: ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Hevilath, ubi nascitur aurum:
The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 et aurum terræ illius optimum est: ibi invenitur bdellium, et lapis onychinus.
and the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and onyx stone are also there.
13 Et nomen fluvii secundi Gehon: ipse est qui circumit omnem terram Æthiopiæ.
The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush.
14 Nomen vero fluminis tertii, Tigris: ipse vadit contra Assyrios. Fluvius autem quartus, ipse est Euphrates.
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 Tulit ergo Dominus Deus hominem, et posuit eum in Paradiso voluptatis, ut operaretur, et custodiret illum:
The LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
16 Præcepitque ei dicens: Ex omni ligno Paradisi comede:
The LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
17 De ligno autem scientiæ boni et mali ne comedas. In quocumque enim die comederis ex eo, morte morieris.
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 Dixit quoque Dominus Deus: Non est bonum esse hominem solum: faciamus ei adiutorium simile sibi.
The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
19 Formatis igitur, Dominus Deus, de humo cunctis animantibus terræ, et universis volatilibus cæli, adduxit ea ad Adam, ut videret quid vocaret ea: omne enim quod vocavit Adam animæ viventis, ipsum est nomen eius.
Out of the ground the LORD 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 Appellavitque Adam nominibus suis cuncta animantia, et universa volatilia cæli, et omnes bestias terræ: Adæ vero non inveniebatur adiutor similis eius.
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 Immisit ergo Dominus Deus soporem in Adam: cumque obdormisset, tulit unam de costis eius, et replevit carnem pro ea.
The LORD 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 Et ædificavit Dominus Deus costam, quam tulerat de Adam, in mulierem: et adduxit eam ad Adam.
The LORD God made a woman from the rib which he had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
23 Dixitque Adam: Hoc nunc, os ex ossibus meis, et caro de carne mea: hæc vocabitur Virago, quoniam de viro sumpta est.
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 Quam ob rem relinquet homo patrem suum, et matrem, et adhærebit uxori suæ: et erunt duo in carne una.
Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.
25 Erat autem uterque nudus, Adam scilicet et uxor eius: et non erubescebant.
The man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
