Genesis, 2

1. And so the heavens and the earth were completed, with all their adornment.

1. Tako bude dovršeno nebo i zemlja sa svom svojom vojskom.

2. And on the seventh day, God fulfilled his work, which he had made. And on the seventh day he rested from all his work, which he had accomplished.

2. I sedmoga dana Bog dovrši svoje djelo koje uèini. I poèinu u sedmi dan od svega djela koje uèini.

3. And he blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. For in it, he had ceased from all his work: the work whereby God created whatever he should make.

3. I blagoslovi Bog sedmi dan i posveti, jer u taj dan poèinu od svega djela svoga koje uèini.

4. These are the generations of heaven and earth, when they were created, in the day when the Lord God made heaven and earth,

4. To je postanak neba i zemlje, tako su stvarani. Kad je Jahve, Bog, sazdao nebo i zemlju,

5. and every sapling of the field, before it would rise up in the land, and every wild plant, before it would germinate. For the Lord God had not brought rain upon the earth, and there was no man to work the land.

5. još nije bilo nikakva poljskoga grmlja po zemlji, još ne bijaše niklo nikakvo poljsko bilje, jer Jahve, Bog, još ne pusti dažda na zemlju i nije bilo èovjeka da zemlju obraðuje.

6. But a fountain ascended from the earth, irrigating the entire surface of the land.

6. Ipak, voda je izvirala iz zemlje i natapala svu površinu zemaljsku.

7. And then the Lord God formed man from the clay of the earth, and he breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.

7. Jahve, Bog, napravi èovjeka od praha zemaljskog i u nosnice mu udahne dah života. Tako postane èovjek živa duša.

8. Now the Lord God had planted a Paradise of enjoyment from the beginning. In it, he placed the man whom he had formed.

8. I Jahve, Bog, zasadi vrt na istoku, u Edenu, i u nj smjesti èovjeka koga je napravio.

9. And from the soil the Lord God produced every tree that was beautiful to behold and pleasant to eat. And even the tree of life was in the midst of Paradise, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

9. Tada Jahve, Bog, uèini te iz zemlje nikoše svakovrsna stabla - pogledu zamamljiva a dobra za hranu - i stablo života, nasred vrta, i stablo spoznaje dobra i zla.

10. And a river went forth from the place of enjoyment so as to irrigate Paradise, which is divided from there into four heads.

10. Rijeka je izvirala iz Edena da bi natapala vrt; odatle se granala u èetiri kraka.

11. The name of one is the Phison; it is that which runs through all the land of Hevilath, where gold is born;

11. Prvom je ime Pišon, a optjeèe svom zemljom havilskom, u kojoj ima zlata.

12. and the gold of that land is the finest. In that place is found bdellium and the onyx stone.

12. Zlato je te zemlje dobro, a ima ondje i bdelija i oniksa.

13. And the name of the second river is the Gehon; it is that which runs through all the land of Ethiopia.

13. Drugoj je rijeci ime Gihon, a optjeèe svu zemlju Kuš.

14. Truly, the name of the third river is the Tigris; it advances opposite the Assyrians. But the fourth river, it is the Euphrates.

14. Treæa je rijeka Tigris, a teèe na istok od Ašura; èetvrta je Eufrat.

15. Thus, the Lord God brought the man, and put him into the Paradise of enjoyment, so that it would be attended and preserved by him.

15. Jahve, Bog, uzme èovjeka i postavi ga u edenski vrt da ga obraðuje i èuva.

16. And he instructed him, saying: “From every tree of Paradise, you shall eat.

16. Jahve, Bog, zapovjedi èovjeku: "Sa svakoga stabla u vrtu slobodno jedi,

17. But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat. For in whatever day you will eat from it, you will die a death.”

17. ali sa stabla spoznaje dobra i zla da nisi jeo! U onaj dan u koji s njega okusiš, zacijelo æeš umrijeti!"

18. The Lord God also said: “It is not good for the man to be alone. Let us make a helper for him similar to himself.”

18. I reèe Jahve, Bog: "Nije dobro da èovjek bude sam: naèinit æu mu pomoæ kao što je on."

19. Therefore, the Lord God, having formed from the soil all the animals of the earth and all the flying creatures of the air, brought them to Adam, in order to see what he would call them. For whatever Adam would call any living creature, that would be its name.

19. Tada Jahve, Bog, naèini od zemlje sve životinje u polju i sve ptice u zraku i predvede ih èovjeku da vidi kako æe koju nazvati, pa kako koje stvorenje èovjek prozove, da mu tako bude ime.

20. And Adam called each of the living things by their names: all the flying creatures of the air, and all the wild beasts of the land. Yet truly, for Adam, there was not found a helper similar to himself.

20. Èovjek nadjene imena svoj stoci, svim pticama u zraku i životinjama u polju. No èovjeku se ne naðe pomoæ kao što je on.

21. And so the Lord God sent a deep sleep upon Adam. And when he was fast asleep, he took one of his ribs, and he completed it with flesh for it.

21. Tada Jahve, Bog, pusti tvrd san na èovjeka te on zaspa, pa mu izvadi jedno rebro, a mjesto zatvori mesom.

22. And the Lord God built up the rib, which he took from Adam, into a woman. And he led her to Adam.

22. Od rebra što ga je uzeo èovjeku napravi Jahve, Bog, ženu pa je dovede èovjeku.

23. And Adam said: “Now this is bone from my bones, and flesh from my flesh. This one shall be called woman, because she was taken from man.”

23. Nato èovjek reèe: "Gle, evo kosti od mojih kostiju, mesa od mesa mojega! Ženom neka se zove, od èovjeka kad je uzeta!"

24. For this reason, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife; and the two shall be as one flesh.

24. Stoga æe èovjek ostaviti oca i majku da prione uza svoju ženu i bit æe njih dvoje jedno tijelo.

25. Now they were both naked: Adam, of course, and his wife. And they were not ashamed.

25. A bijahu oboje goli - èovjek i njegova žena - ali ne osjeæahu stida.
