< 创世记 2 >

1 天地万物都造齐了。
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 到第七日, 神造物的工已经完毕,就在第七日歇了他一切的工,安息了。
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 神赐福给第七日,定为圣日;因为在这日, 神歇了他一切创造的工,就安息了。
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
4 创造天地的来历,在耶和华 神造天地的日子,乃是这样,
These [are] 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 野地还没有草木,田间的菜蔬还没有长起来;因为耶和华 神还没有降雨在地上,也没有人耕地,
And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and [there was] not a man to till the ground.
6 但有雾气从地上腾,滋润遍地。
But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 耶和华 神用地上的尘土造人,将生气吹在他鼻孔里,他就成了有灵的活人,名叫 亚当。
And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 耶和华 神在东方的伊甸立了一个园子,把所造的人安置在那里。
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 耶和华 神使各样的树从地里长出来,可以悦人的眼目,其上的果子好作食物。园子当中又有生命树和分别善恶的树。
And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10 有河从伊甸流出来,滋润那园子,从那里分为四道:
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
11 第一道名叫比逊,就是环绕哈腓拉全地的。在那里有金子,
The name of the first [is] Pison: that [is] it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where [there is] gold;
12 并且那地的金子是好的;在那里又有珍珠和红玛瑙。
And the gold of that land [is] good: there [is] bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 第二道河名叫基训,就是环绕古实全地的。
And the name of the second river [is] Gihon: the same [is] it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 第三道河名叫底格里斯,流在亚述的东边。第四道河就是幼发拉底河。
And the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel: that [is] it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river [is] Euphrates.
15 耶和华 神将那人安置在伊甸园,使他修理,看守。
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16 耶和华 神吩咐他说:“园中各样树上的果子,你可以随意吃,
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 只是分别善恶树上的果子,你不可吃,因为你吃的日子必定死!”
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
18 耶和华 神说:“那人独居不好,我要为他造一个配偶帮助他。”
And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
19 耶和华 神用土所造成的野地各样走兽和空中各样飞鸟都带到那人面前,看他叫什么。那人怎样叫各样的活物,那就是它的名字。
And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof.
20 那人便给一切牲畜和空中飞鸟、野地走兽都起了名;只是那人没有遇见配偶帮助他。
And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
21 耶和华 神使他沉睡,他就睡了;于是取下他的一条肋骨,又把肉合起来。
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 耶和华 神就用那人身上所取的肋骨造成一个女人,领她到那人跟前。
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 那人说: 这是我骨中的骨, 肉中的肉, 可以称她为“女人”, 因为她是从“男人”身上取出来的。
And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24 因此,人要离开父母,与妻子连合,二人成为一体。
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 当时夫妻二人赤身露体,并不羞耻。
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
