Jenèz 2
1 Konsa, Bondye te fin fè syèl la, latè a ansanm ak tout sa ki ladan yo.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.
2 Sou sis jou, Bondye te fin fè tout sa l' t'ap fè a. Setyèm jou a, li sispann travay.
And on the sixth day God finished his works which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his works which he had made.
3 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.
So God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested on it from all his works which God had created and made.
4 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,
This is the account of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, at the time when God made the earth and the heavens.
5 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.
Now no bush of the field was yet in the land, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted; for God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there were no people to cultivate the ground,
6 Men, yon vapè dlo leve soti nan tè a, li wouze tout tè a.
but springs came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 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.
And God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
8 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.
And God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 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.
And out of the ground God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Yon gwo larivyè soti nan peyi Edenn, li wouze jaden an. Larivyè a te fè kat branch.
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it separated and became the source of four rivers.
11 Premye branch lan te rele Pichon. Se larivyè sa a ki wouze tout peyi Avila a, peyi kote yo jwenn anpil lò a.
The name of the first is Pishon; this is the one which goes around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 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.
and the gold of that land is good. There is aromatic resin and the onyx stone.
13 Dezyèm larivyè a rele Giyon. Se li ki wouze tout peyi Kouch la.
And the name of the second river is Gihon; it goes around the whole land of Cush.
14 Twazyèm larivyè a rele Tig. Se li ki pase nan peyi Lasiri, sou bò solèy leve a. Katriyèm larivyè a se Lefrat.
And the name of the third river is Hiddekel; this is the one which flows east of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Perath.
15 Seyè a, Bondye a, pran nonm lan, li mete l' nan jaden Edenn lan pou l' travay li, pou l' pran swen l'.
And God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and take care of it.
16 Seyè a, Bondye a, bay nonm lan lòd sa a. Ou mèt manje donn tout pyebwa ki nan jaden an.
And God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
17 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.
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die."
18 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'.
And God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."
19 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.
And out of the ground God formed every tame animal, and every wild animal, and every flying creature of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
20 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'.
And the man gave names to all the tame animals, and to all the flying creatures of the sky, and to every wild animal; but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.
21 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.
So God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh at that place.
22 Avèk zo kòt li te wete nan nonm lan, li fè yon fanm, li mennen l' ba li.
And the rib that God had taken from the man he fashioned into a woman and brought her to the man.
23 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.
And the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because this one was taken out of Man."
24 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.
Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
25 Nonm lan ak madanm li te toutouni. Men, yo pa t' wont rete konsa.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
