Genesis 2
1 That is the way God created the heavens and the earth.
斯天地および其衆群悉く成ぬ
2 By the time it was the seventh day, God had finished the work of creating everything, so he did not work any more on that day.
第七日に神其造りたる工を竣たまへり即ち其造りたる工を竣て七日に安息たまへり
3 God blessed each seventh day, and he set those days apart to be special days, because on the seventh day God did not work any more, after finishing all his work of creating everything.
神七日を祝して之を神聖めたまへり其は神其創造爲たまへる工を盡く竣て是日に安息みたまひたればなり
4 That is how God created the heavens and the earth. God, whose name is Yahweh, made the heavens and the earth.
ヱホバ神地と天を造りたまへる日に天地の創造られたる其由來は是なり
5 At first there were no plants growing, because Yahweh God had not yet caused rain to fall on the ground. Furthermore, there was no one to till the ground for planting crops.
野の諸の灌木は未だ地にあらず野の諸の草蔬は未生ぜざりき其はヱホバ神雨を地に降せたまはず亦土地を耕す人なかりければなり
6 Instead, mist rose up from the ground, so that it watered the surface of the ground.
霧地より上りて土地の面を遍く潤したり
7 Then Yahweh God took some soil and formed a man. He breathed into the man’s nostrils his own breath that gives life, and as a result the man became a living person.
ヱホバ神土の塵を以て人を造り生氣を其鼻に嘘入たまへり人即ち生靈となりぬ
8 Yahweh God made a park/garden in a place named Eden, which was east of the land of Canaan, and he put there the man that he had created.
ヱホバ神エデンの東の方に園を設て其造りし人を其處に置たまへり
9 Yahweh God also put there every kind of tree that is beautiful to see and that produced fruit that was good to eat. He also placed in the middle of the park/garden a tree [whose fruit would enable those who ate it] to live forever. He also placed there another tree whose fruit would enable those who ate it to know what actions were good [to do] and what actions were evil [to do].
ヱホバ神觀に美麗く食ふに善き各種の樹を土地より生ぜしめ又園の中に生命の樹および善惡を知の樹を生ぜしめ給へり
10 A river flowed from Eden to provide water for the park/garden. Outside of Eden, the river divided into four rivers.
河エデンより出て園を潤し彼處より分れて四の源となれり
11 The name of the first river is Pishon. That river flows through all the land of Havilah, where there is gold.
其第一の名はピソンといふ是は金あるハビラの全地を繞る者なり
12 That gold (is very pure/has no impurities in it). There is [also a sweet-smelling gum called] bdellium, and valuable stones called onyx.
其地の金は善し又ブドラクと碧玉彼處にあり
13 The name of the second river is Gihon. That river flows through all the land of Cain.
第二の河の名はギホンといふ是はクシの全地を繞る者なり
14 The name of the third river is Tigris. It flows east of [the city of] Asshur. The name of the fourth river is Euphrates.
第三の河の名はヒデケルといふ是はアッスリヤの東に流るるものなり第四の河はユフラテなり
15 Yahweh God took the man and put him in Eden park/garden to till/cultivate it and take care of it.
ヱホバ神其人を挈て彼をエデンの園に置き之を埋め之を守らしめ給へり
16 But Yahweh said to him, “You must not eat the fruit of the tree that will enable you to know what actions are good to do and what actions are evil to do. If you eat any fruit from that tree, on that day your relationship with me will end. But I will permit you to eat the fruit of any of the other trees in the park/garden.”
ヱホバ神其人に命じて言たまひけるは園の各種の樹の果は汝意のままに食ふことを得
然ど善惡を知の樹は汝その果を食ふべからず汝之を食ふ日には必ず死べければなり
18 Then Yahweh God said, “It is not good for this man to be alone. So I will make someone who will be a suitable partner for him.”
ヱホバ神言たまひけるは人獨なるは善らず我彼に適ふ助者を彼のために造らんと
19 Yahweh God had taken some soil and had formed from it all kinds of animals and birds, and he brought them to the man to hear what names he would give them.
ヱホバ神土を以て野の諸の獸と天空の諸の鳥を造りたまひてアダムの之を何と名るかを見んとて之を彼の所に率ゐいたりたまへりアダムが生物に名けたる所は皆其名となりぬ
20 Then the man gave names to all the kinds of livestock and birds and wild animals, but none of these creatures was a partner that was suitable for the man.
アダム諸の家畜と天空の鳥と野の諸の獸に名を與へたり然どアダムには之に適ふ助者みえざりき
21 So Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man was sleeping, Yahweh took out one of the man’s ribs. Then he immediately closed the opening in his body [and healed it].
是に於てヱホバ神アダムを熟く睡らしめ睡りし時其肋骨の一を取り肉をもて其處を填塞たまへり
22 Yahweh then made a woman from the rib that he had taken from the man’s body, and he brought her to the man.
ヱホバ神アダムより取たる肋骨を以て女を成り之をアダムの所に携きたりたまへり
23 The man exclaimed, “[Wow]! This is truly (someone like me/what I was looking for!) She is truly from my bones and from my flesh. So I will call her woman, because she was taken from me, a man.”
アダム言けるは此こそわが骨の骨わが肉の肉なれ此は男より取たる者なれば之を女と名くべしと
24 [The first woman was taken from the man’s body, ] so that is why when a man and a woman marry, they must leave their parents. The man will join very closely to his wife, so that the two of them will be as though they are one person.
是故に人は其父母を離れて其妻に好合ひ二人一體となるべし
25 Although the man and his wife were naked, they were not ashamed about that.
アダムと其妻は二人倶に裸體にして愧ざりき
