Genesis 2 (SAV)

1Eel ci na kehƴi, na in ci ñimniɗ ci tumu nga, reehoh feru ɗaa.Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

2Ŋ mbeha yasna-kanakɗoh, Kooh iɗsiɗukka, raak ɗe mitɗiɗ pangkaŋ ɗe.And by the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work.

3Weɗ tah po Kooh barke'iɗta mbehi yasna-kanakɗoh, a hooliɗtaa wuu ce, laam a iɗsiɗuk nga, wi a ƴut fer in ci jen.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.

4Naandsukiŋ feriŋ eel ci na kehƴi weɗi weem. Wa Nikiɗi Kooh feree kehƴi na eel ci,This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.

5ali kidig raakeeɗi paaɗ ŋ bilaf fi, te ali paangi puleeɗi ndoom, laam raak Nikiɗi Kooh toɓɗi ŋ kehƴi, te ɓo' raakeeɗi ne a guur merhey mi.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.

6Hondohɗi masuɓ puleeɗa ŋ kehƴi te wa iiri'ɗeeɗa kehƴi jen.But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.

7Ŋ jamanoonaam, Nikiɗi Kooh mahha ɓo' na merhey miŋ kehƴi, a fuuɗissa ngaŋ kiñin kaŋ ɗe iik kipes, jaarra a nikka pesoh.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.

8Raak, Nikiɗi Kooh haɓɗeen nguuk, ŋ pulohaaɗ-noh, ngaŋ Eden, a ɓekka ɓoya a mahee nga.And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.

9A paariɗta kidig nu nik ŋ merhey ma, ca moɗta ŋ has, ca neɓpa ñamu, te ngaŋ leernaŋ nguuka, a paariɗta kidgaŋ kipes ki na kidgaŋ inhisoh baahiɗ na baahaaɗi.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.

10Cul puleeɗa ŋ Eden, wa iiri'ɗeeɗa nguuka, wa pulohee ndeem, wa salla sal nikiis.Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:

11Sala ɗeɓ teeksee Pison, wa wileen ŋ kur kaŋ Hawiilaa jen, ɗiska urus raake ;The name of the first river is the Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.

12ursaŋ kur keem, wa nikee koceet, ndeem raakee makndi eeñɗohaani na woyse badoolah na pemeeni na woyse sooham.And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.

13Sala kanakɗoha teeksee Gihon, wa wilee wil kur kaŋ Kuus jen.The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the whole land of Cush.

14Sala kaahayɗoha teeksee Tigar, wa nupɗee ŋ pulohaaɗ-nohaŋ Assuur. Sala nikiisɗoha nikka Ewfaraat.The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

15Ŋ ineem, Nikiɗi Kooh ɓayya ɓoya, a tummba ɗe guuroh na niiɗohaŋ nguukaŋ Eden.Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.

16A huflukka ɗe ne : « Fu miniɗ ñam rim ciŋ kidig ciŋ nguuki jen.And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,

17Waaye kidgiŋ inhisoh baahiɗ na baahaaɗi, fu heyɗi ñame nga, laam mbaɗna fu ñaman nga ɗah, fu hey kaane fut ! »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.”

18Wa weem coot, Nikiɗi Kooh woosa ne : « Ɗaay kiik ce baahɗi ngaŋ ɓo'. Ŋ hey ɗe haɓɗiɗe ɓaatɗohoh yi min kerhiɗoh na ɗe. »The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”

19Ŋ ineem, raak Nikiɗi Kooh maheen na merhey ɗoopaat ci jen, na sel ci pundoh ci jen, a kommba ɓoya ca, ne a kerah findi yeem teekan ca ; yaa nu nik hey ɓeeɗkasse findi ƴaara na hee ɗe teeke.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.

20Wa a kom ɓoya ca, ɓoya feriɗta ca tiik jen, ɗoopaat ciŋ kahan ci, sel ci pundoh ci, na ɗoopaat ciŋ nduufi. Waaye a yi, a hotiɗɗi haf ce ɓaatɗohoh yi min kerhiɗoh na ɗe.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.

21Ŋ ineem, Nikiɗi Kooh pani'iɗta ɓoya, a neehha neeh nooɗiɗ. A nihissa ƴoh yino ngaŋ lah-fisaaraŋ ɗe, a rannga ɗiska na neh.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.

22Nikiɗi Kooh ɓayya ƴoha a nihsoh ŋ ɓoya weem, a mahha ɓitiɓ naa, a kommba ɓoya ɗe.And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.

23Wa ɓoya hot ɗe, a ƴeella, a woosa ne : « Waasii, yii a ƴohiŋ ƴoh ciŋ ngo na nehiŋ nehiŋ ngo ! Ɓoyii teeksan ɓo' ɓitiɓ, laam a kooɗohu ŋ ɓo' ƴaar. »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.”

24Wa taamboh ɗaa po, ƴaar hey saɓsukohe na yaay na baab, a ŋoɗ ŋ ɓitiice, ɓa nik faan yino.For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

25Te wa nikka ne ɓeɗ ɓi kanak ceem, ƴaara na ɓitiice, ɓa nikee faan ɓarang te ɓa supkeeɗi nga.And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
