Genesis 2 (ROW)

1No dalaꞌ naa, Lamatualain tao lalai no raefafoꞌ, no basa isi-oe na.Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

2Mbilaꞌ neu ma, ndaa no fai kahitu na, Ana hahae ao Na, huu tao nala basaꞌ e ena.And by the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work.

3No taꞌo naa, Ana tao fai kahitu na dadꞌi fai monaeꞌ mia fai feaꞌ ra, huu Ana tao basa ue-tatao Na ena, de fai kahitu na ma, Ana hahae ao Na.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.

4Lamatualain naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ lalai no raefafoꞌ dudꞌui na, taꞌo a naa. Leleꞌ LAMATUALAIN naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ lalai no raefafoꞌ a,This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.

5nda feꞌe hambu hau-bebꞌa saa saꞌ boe, huu Ana nda feꞌe naꞌondaꞌ udꞌan sa. Leleꞌ naa, feꞌe akaꞌ a lumeꞌ a namasu mia rae fo naꞌadꞌoe raefafoꞌ. Ma nda feꞌe hambu atahori fo tao osi sa.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.

7Dei de LAMATUALAIN haꞌi rae mbei, de tao dadꞌi atahori. Ana fuu ani-hahaeꞌ tungga mbana ndola na, ma atahori a nasodꞌa tuteꞌ a.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.

8Basa ma, LAMATUALAIN tao osi esa mia rae Eden seriꞌ rulu, de Ana fee atahori a leo sia naa.And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.

9Ana naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ hau huuꞌ maloleꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ sia osi a, fo atahori a naa no maladꞌaꞌ. Ma Ana o tao hau huuꞌ mataꞌ rua sia osi a taladꞌa na. Mete ma atahori raa hau esa boa na, ara rasodꞌa rakandoo. Te mete ma ara raa hau esa ka boa na, ara rahine bee maloleꞌ ma bee deꞌulakaꞌ.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.

10Hambu loe sa nandali mia osi a, de dea neu. Loe naa, masaranggaaꞌ haa.Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:

11Ranggaꞌ kaesa na, naran Pison. Ranggaꞌ naa nandali rereoꞌ rae Hawila. Sia naa, hambu lilo naeꞌ.The name of the first river is the Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.

12Lilo naa ra meuꞌ. Sia naa o hambu hau raa maꞌameniꞌ ma fatu makahadꞌoꞌ.And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.

13Ranggaꞌ karua na, naran Gihon. Ranggaꞌ naa nandali rereoꞌ rae Kus.The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the whole land of Cush.

14Ranggaꞌ katelu na, naran Tigris. Ranggaꞌ ia, dadꞌi tadꞌaꞌ sia rae Asyur seriꞌ rulu. Ma rangga kahaa na, naran Efrat.The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

15LAMATUALAIN fee atahori a leo sia Eden, fo tao mataꞌ neu osi a.Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.

16Ma Ana parenda e nae, “Ho sudꞌiꞌ a mua hau boaꞌ saa mia basa hau huuꞌ sia osi ia.And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,

17Te akaꞌ na, afi mua hau boaꞌ mia hau huuꞌ mana fee nggo muhine bee maloleꞌ ma bee deꞌulakaꞌ. Mete ma mua, naa, mate nggo.”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.”

18Basa ma, LAMATUALAIN olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Nda maloleꞌ sa atahori ia nasodꞌa mesaꞌ ne. De Au ae tao fee ne, nonoon esa fo ndaa no e.”The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”

19Leleꞌ naa, LAMATUALAIN ao nala rae mbei, de tao banda ma mbuiꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Ana nendi se risiꞌ atahori a, fo nanara se. Boe ma, atahori a nanara se, esa-esaꞌ no nara na. Te ana nda feꞌe hambu nonoon sa.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.

21De LAMATUALAIN fee atahori a sungguꞌ nasambeta, de haꞌi nala rui aiusu na esa. Dei de, Ana mbalu baliꞌ bisu a.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.

22Ma Ana tao ruiꞌ naa dadꞌi inaꞌ, de fee neu atahori a.And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.

23Atahori a nita inaꞌ a ma, ana nae, “Ia dei, fo ndaa no au! Rui na o, onaꞌ au rui ngga boe. Ma ao sisi na, onaꞌ au ao sisi ngga. Huu eni dadꞌi mia touꞌ, naa de au babꞌae e ‘inaꞌ’.”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.”

24Huu naa, touꞌ musi lao hela ina-ama nara, fo nasodꞌa ralaꞌ esa no sao na, te ruꞌa se dadꞌi esa ena.For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

25Leleꞌ naa, ruꞌa se maꞌaholaꞌ, te ara nda mae saꞌ.And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
