Genesis 2 (KOS)

1Ouinge faclu ac kusrao ac ma nukewa loac aksafyeyukla.Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

2Ke len se akitkosr, God El aksafyela ma El oru ac mongla liki orekma lal.And by the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work.

3El akinsewowoye len se akitkosr, ac srela tuh in sie len mutal, mweyen El aksafyela ma nukewa El oru ac tui ke orekma lal.Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on that day He rested from all the work of creation that He had accomplished.

4Pa ingan luman orekla lun kusrao ac faclu ac ma nukewa loac. Ke LEUM GOD EL kusrao ac faclu,This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.

5wangin sak fin faclu ac wangin mah srunak, mweyen El soenna supwama af, ac wangin mwet in imai acn uh.Now no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth, nor had any plant of the field sprouted, for the LORD God had not yet sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.

6Tusruktu kof uh otyak liki ye fohk uh ac aksroksrokye infohk uh.But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.

7Na 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.Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.

8Na LEUM GOD El orala ima se in Eden, layen kutulap, ac filiya mwet se El orala inge we.And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.

9El 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 the LORD God gave growth to every tree that is pleasing to the eye and good for food. And in the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

10Infacl srisrik soko soror in Eden ac aksroksrokye ima sac, ac ke alukela acn Eden sengelik nu ke infacl akosr.Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:

11Infacl soko meet ah pa Pishon, su soror rauni acn Havilah.The name of the first river is the Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.

12(Gold na pwaye ac oayapa ono keng ma sesa, ac eot saok koneyukyak we.)And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.

13Infacl soko aklukwa pa Gihon, su soror rauni acn Cush.The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the whole land of Cush.

14Infacl soko aktolkwe pa Tigris, su soror ut kutulap in Assyria, ac infacl soko akakosr pa Euphrates.The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

15Na LEUM GOD El filiya mwet sac in ima Eden tuh elan yukwi ac karingin.Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.

16El fahk nu sel, “Kom ku in mongo ke fokinsak ke kutena sak in ima se inge,And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,

17sayen 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 you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”

18Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Tia wo mukul se inge in mukena muta. Nga ac oru sie mwet in welulang in kasrel.”The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”

19Ouinge 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.And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and He brought them to the man to see what he would name each one. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.

20Ke 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 the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.

21Na 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.So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the area with flesh.

22El orala mutan se liki sri in pap soko ah, ac usalu nu yurin mukul sac.And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.

23Na 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.”And the man said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for out of man she was taken.”

24Pa ingan sripa se oru sie mukul el som liki papa tumal ac nina kial, ac fulyang nu sin mutan kial, ac eltal ma sefannala.For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

25Mukul sac ac mutan sac kewana koflufol, tusruktu eltal tiana mwekin.And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
