< Genesis 2 >

1 Ouinge faclu ac kusrao ac ma nukewa loac aksafyeyukla.
Then the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the living things that filled them.
2 Ke len se akitkosr, God El aksafyela ma El oru ac mongla liki orekma lal.
On the seventh day God came to the end of his work which he had done, and so he rested on the seventh day from all his work.
3 El akinsewowoye len se akitkosr, ac srela tuh in sie len mutal, mweyen El aksafyela ma nukewa El oru ac tui ke orekma lal.
God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he rested from all his work which he had done in his creation.
4 Pa ingan luman orekla lun kusrao ac faclu ac ma nukewa loac. Ke LEUM GOD EL kusrao ac faclu,
These were the events concerning the heavens and the earth, when they were created, on the day that Yahweh God made the earth and the heavens.
5 wangin sak fin faclu ac wangin mah srunak, mweyen El soenna supwama af, ac wangin mwet in imai acn uh.
No bush of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.
6 Tusruktu kof uh otyak liki ye fohk uh ac aksroksrokye infohk uh.
But a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 Na LEUM GOD El eis kutu fohk liki infohk uh ac lumahla mwet se kac. El mongyang nu infwen mwet sac ke momong in moul, ac mwet sac moul.
Yahweh 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 Na LEUM GOD El orala ima se in Eden, layen kutulap, ac filiya mwet se El orala inge we.
Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 El oru tuh kain in sak kato nukewa in kap we ac oswe fokinsak na wowo. Ac infulwen ima uh, oasr pac sak soko tu we ma ac sang moul nu sin mwet uh, ac oayapa oasr sak soko ma ac sang etauk ke ma wo ac ma koluk.
Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. This included the tree of life that was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Infacl srisrik soko soror in Eden ac aksroksrokye ima sac, ac ke alukela acn Eden sengelik nu ke infacl akosr.
A river went out of Eden to water the garden. From there it divided and became four rivers.
11 Infacl soko meet ah pa Pishon, su soror rauni acn Havilah.
The name of the first is Pishon. It is the one which flows throughout the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 (Gold na pwaye ac oayapa ono keng ma sesa, ac eot saok koneyukyak we.)
The gold of that land is good. There are also bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 Infacl soko aklukwa pa Gihon, su soror rauni acn Cush.
The name of the second river is Gihon. This one flows throughout the whole land of Cush.
14 Infacl soko aktolkwe pa Tigris, su soror ut kutulap in Assyria, ac infacl soko akakosr pa Euphrates.
The name of the third river is Tigris, which flows east of Ashur. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 Na LEUM GOD El filiya mwet sac in ima Eden tuh elan yukwi ac karingin.
Yahweh God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to work it and to maintain it.
16 El fahk nu sel, “Kom ku in mongo ke fokinsak ke kutena sak in ima se inge,
Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “From every tree in the garden you may freely eat.
17 sayen sak soko ma asang etauk ke ma wo ac ke ma koluk. Kom fah tia kang fokin sak soko ingan. Kom fin kang, kom ac misa ke len sacnna.”
But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not eat, for on the day that you eat from it, you will surely die.”
18 Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Tia wo mukul se inge in mukena muta. Nga ac oru sie mwet in welulang in kasrel.”
Then Yahweh God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make him a helper suitable for him.”
19 Ouinge el eis kutu fohk liki infohk uh, ac lumahla kain in kosro nukewa ac kain won nukewa. Na El usalosla nu yurin mwet sac elan sang inelos. Ouinge itukyang inen ma inge nukewa.
Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the sky. Then he brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
20 Ke ma inge mwet sac sang inen won nukewa ac kosro nukewa, tusruktu wanginna inmasrlolos fal in welulang in kasrel.
The man gave names to all the livestock, to all the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field. But for the man himself there was found no helper suitable for him.
21 Na LEUM GOD El oru mwet sac in motul folosuwosla, ac pacl se el motul inge El eisla soko sri in pap kacl ac sifil folokoneni ikwal.
Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, so the man slept. Yahweh God took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh where he took the rib.
22 El orala mutan se liki sri in pap soko ah, ac usalu nu yurin mukul sac.
With the rib that Yahweh God had taken from the man, he made a woman and brought her to the man.
23 Na mukul sac fahk, “Tufahna pa inge sie su oana nga — Srel itukla liki srik, ac ikwal liki ikok. Ac pangpang el ‘mutan,’ mweyen itukla el liki sie mukul.”
The man said, “This time, this one is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called 'woman,' because she was taken out of man.”
24 Pa ingan sripa se oru sie mukul el som liki papa tumal ac nina kial, ac fulyang nu sin mutan kial, ac eltal ma sefannala.
Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, he will be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
25 Mukul sac ac mutan sac kewana koflufol, tusruktu eltal tiana mwekin.
They were both naked, the man and his wife, but were not ashamed.
