< Genesisy 2 >

1 Dia vita ny lanitra sy ny tany sy izay rehetra ao aminy.
The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished.
2 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahafito dia vitan’ Andriamanitra ny asa efa nataony; ary dia nitsahatra tamin’ ny andro fahafito Izy tamin’ ny asany rehetra izay efa nataony.
On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.
3 Ary Andriamanitra nitahy ny andro fahafito sy nanamasina azy, satria tamin’ izany no nitsaharan’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny asany rehetra izay noforoniny tamin’ ny nanaovany azy.
God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done.
4 Ary izao no tantaran’ ny lanitra sy ny tany tamin’ ny namoronana azy, dia tamin’ ny nanaovan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra ny tany sy ny lanitra:
This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made the earth and the heavens.
5 Ny hazo madinika famboly dia tsy mbola nisy teo amin’ ny tany, ary ny anana famboly tsy mbola nisy naniry; fa tsy mbola nampilatsaka ranonorana tambonin’ ny tany Jehovah Andriamanitra, ary nisy olona hiasa ny tany;
No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,
6 nefa nisy zavona niakatra avy tamin’ ny tany ka nandena ny tany rehetra.
but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 Ary vovo-tany no namoronan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra ny olona, ary nofofoniny fofonaina mahavelona ny vavorony; dia tonga olombelona izy.
Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 Ary Jehovah Andriamanitra nanao saha tao Edena tany atsinanana, ka napetrany tao ralehilahy izay noforoniny.
Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 Ary nampanirin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra teo amin’ ny tany ny hazo rehetra izay maha-te-hizaha sady tsara ho fihinana, ary ny hazon’ aina teo afovoan’ ny saha sy ny hazo fahalalana ny tsara sy ny ratsy.
Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Ary nisy ony nivoaka avy tao Edena handena ny saha; hatreo izy dia nizara ka nisampana efatra:
A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers.
11 Ny anaran’ ny voalohany dia Pisona; io no mandeha manodidina ny tany Havila rehetra, izay misy ny volamena;
The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 ary tsara ny volamena amin’ izany tany izany; any ny bedola sy ny vato beryla.
and the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and onyx stone are also there.
13 Ary ny anaran’ ny ony faha dia Gihona; io no mandeha manodidina ny tany Kosy rehetra.
The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush.
14 Ary ny anaran’ ny ony fahatelo dia Hidekela; io no mandeha tandrifin’ i Asyria. Ary ny ony fahefatra dia Eofrata.
The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 Ary Jehovah Andriamanitra nitondra an-dralehilahy ka namponina azy tao amin’ ny saha Edena hiasa sy hitandrina azy.
Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
16 Ary Jehovah Andriamanitra nandidy an-dralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Ny hazo rehetra eo amin’ ny saha dia azonao ihinanana ihany;
Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
17 fa ny hazo fahalalana ny tsara sy ny ratsy dia aza ihinanana; fa amin’ ny andro izay ihinananao azy dia ho faty tokoa ianao.
but you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”
18 Ary Jehovah Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Tsy tsara raha irery ralehilahy; dia hanaovako vady sahaza ho azy izy.
Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
19 Ary tany no namoronan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra ny bibi-dia rehetra sy ny voro-manidina rehetra; dia nentiny tany amin-dralehilahy ireny hahitany izay hanononany azy avy; ary izay rehetra nanononan-dralehilahy ny zava-manan’ aina rehetra, dia izany no anarany.
Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature became its name.
20 Dia nomen-dralehilahy anarana ny biby fiompy rehetra sy ny ny voro-manidina mbamin’ ny bibi-dia rehetra; nefa tsy hita izay vady sahaza ho an-dralehilahy.
The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper comparable to him.
21 Ary Jehovah Andriamanitra nahasondrian-tory an-dralehilahy, ka dia natory izy; dia naka ny taolan-tehezany anankiray Izy ka nanakombona nofo ho solony.
Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. As the man slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
22 Ary ny taolan-tehezana izay nalain’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra tamin-dralehilahy dia nataony vehivavy ka nentiny tany amin-dralehilahy.
Yahweh God made a woman from the rib which he had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
23 Ary hoy ralehilahy: Ankehitriny dia taolana avy amin’ ny taolako sy nofo avy amin’ ny nofoko ity; ity dia hatao hoe vehivavy satria lehilahy no nanalana azy.
The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken out of Man.”
24 Ary noho izany ny lehilahy dia handao ny rainy sy ny reniny ka hikambana amin’ ny vadiny; dia ho nofo iray ihany ireo.
Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.
25 Ary nitanjaka izy mivady, dia ralehilahy sy ny vadiny, nefa tsy nahalala henatra izy.
The man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
