< Genesis 2 >

1 And the heavens and the earth were finished, and the whole world of them.
To tiah van hoi long, to ah kaom hmuennawk boih to a sak pacoeng.
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.
Ni sarihto naah loe Sithaw mah a sak ih tok to pacoengh, to pongah ni sarihto naah loe a toksakhaih boih thung hoiah anghak.
3 And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he ceased from all his works which God began to do.
A sak ih tok boih thung hoiah Sithaw anghakhaih niah oh pongah, sarihto ni to Sithaw mah tahamhoihaih paek moe, ciimcaisak.
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,
Angraeng Sithaw mah van hoi long sak na niah, van hoi long sakhaih kawngnawk loe hae tiah oh.
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.
Angraeng Sithaw mah long nuiah kho angzosak ai pongah, long ah thingkung to om ai, aan doeh amprawk ai; long ah toksah kami doeh om ai.
6 But there rose a fountain out of the earth, and watered the whole face of the earth.
Toe long thung hoiah tui to tacawt pongah, long to tui mah duksak boih.
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.
Angraeng Sithaw mah long ih maiphu hoiah kami to sak moe, anih ih hnahkhaw thungah hinghaih takhi to uengh pae; to naah hinghaih tawn kami ah angcoeng.
8 And God planted a garden eastward in Edem, and placed there the man whom he had formed.
Angraeng Sithaw mah ni angyae bang ih Eden ah takha maeto sak; to ah a sak ih kami to a suek.
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.
Angraeng Sithaw mah to long thung hoiah khet kahoih, caak kahoih thingkung congca to amprawksak; hinghaih thingkung hoi kasae kahoih panoekhaih thingkung doeh takha um ah oh.
10 And a river proceeds out of Edem to water the garden, thence it divides itself into four heads.
Takha tui paek hanah Eden takha thung hoiah vapui maeto longh; to ahmuen hoiah ampraek moe, vapui sip palito ah angphae.
11 The name of the one, Phisom, this it is which encircles the whole land of Evilat, where there is gold.
Hmaloe koek ih ahmin loe Pishon; to vapui loe sui ohhaih, Havilah prae thung boih ah longh.
12 And the gold of that land is good, there also is carbuncle and emerald.
To prae thung ih sui loe hoih; to ah loe bdellium hmuihoih thing hoi onyx thlungnawk doeh tacawt.
13 And the name of the second river is Geon, this it is which encircles the whole land of Ethiopia.
Hnetto haih vapui ahmin loe Gihon; to vapui loe Ethiopia prae thung boih ah longh.
14 And the third river is Tigris, this is that which flows forth over against the Assyrians. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
Thumto haih vapui ahmin loe Hiddekel; to loe Assyria prae ni angyae bangah longh. Palito haih vapui loe Euphrates.
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.
Eden takha to khetzawn moe, to ah toksak hanah, Angraeng mah kami to lak moe, takha thungah anih to suek.
16 And the Lord God gave a charge to Adam, saying, Of every tree which is in the garden you may freely eat,
Angraeng Sithaw mah kami khaeah, Takha thungah kaom thingkung hoi tacawt athaihnawk boih to na caak thaih;
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.
toe kasae kahoih panoekhaih thingthai loe na caa mak ai; na caak niah na dueh tangtang tih, tiah lokpaek.
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.
Angraeng Sithaw mah, Kami loe angmabueng oh han hoih ai; anih han kamcuk bomkung maeto ka sak pae han, tiah thuih.
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.
Angraeng Sithaw mah long hoiah sak ih taw ih moinawk boih, van ih tavaanawk boih to khetzawn moe, ahmin phui hanah, Adam khaeah sinh pae; kahing moi loe, Adam mah sak ih ahmin baktih toengah ahmin tawnh o boih.
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.
Adam mah moinawk, van ih tavaanawk hoi taw ih moinawk boih to ahmin sak; toe Adam loe angmah hoi kamcuk bomkung to tawn ai.
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.
Angraeng Sithaw mah Adam to iih angmuetsak parai pongah, anih loe iih; anih ih panak huh maeto a lak pae, a lak ih ahmuen ah ngan to pacong pae let.
22 And God formed the rib which he took from Adam into a woman, and brought her to Adam.
Angraeng Sithaw mah kami khae hoi lak ih, panak huh hoiah nongpata to sak moe, anih to nongpa khaeah a caeh haih.
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.
Adam mah, Hae loe ka huhnawk thung ih ahuh, ka ngan thung ih ngan ah oh; anih loe Nongpa thung hoiah lak ah oh pongah, Nongpata, tiah kawk han oh, tiah thuih.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
To pongah nongpa mah ampa hoi amno to caehtaak ueloe, a zu to la tih, to naah nihnik loe takpum maeto ah om hoi tih.
Nongpa hoi a zu loe bangkrai ah oh hoi, toe azathaih tawn hoi ai.
