¹And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;

¹¶ Na ka oti te rangi me te whenua me o reira mano katoa.

²and God completeth by the seventh day His work which He hath made, and ceaseth by the seventh day from all His work which He hath made.

²A no te whitu o nga ra i oti ai i te Atua tana mahi i mahi ai; na ka okioki ia i te ra whitu i ana mahi katoa i mahia e ia.

³And God blesseth the seventh day, and sanctifieth it, for in it He hath ceased from all His work which God had prepared for making.

³Na ka whakapaingia e te Atua te ra whitu, whakatapua ana hoki e ia: mona i okioki i taua ra i ana mahi katoa i oti i te Atua te hanga.

⁴These [are] births of the heavens and of the earth in their being prepared, in the day of Jehovah God`s making earth and heavens;

⁴¶ Ko nga whakatupuranga enei o te rangi, o te whenua, i te hanganga ai, i te ra i hanga ai e Ihowa, e te Atua, te whenua me te rangi.

⁵and no shrub of the field is yet in the earth, and no herb of the field yet sprouteth, for Jehovah God hath not rained upon the earth, and a man there is not to serve the ground,

⁵Kahore ano hoki tetahi rakau riki o te parae i te whenua, kahore ano tetahi otaota o te parae kia pihi noa: kahore hoki a Ihowa, te Atua, i mea kia ua ki te whenua, a kahore rawa he tangata hei mahi i te oneone;

⁶and a mist goeth up from the earth, and hath watered the whole face of the ground.

⁶Engari i pupu ake he kohu i te whenua, na reira i whakamakuku te mata katoa o te oneone.

⁷And Jehovah God formeth the man — dust from the ground, and breatheth into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becometh a living creature.

⁷Na ka whakaahuatia te tangata e Ihowa, e te Atua, he puehu no te oneone, a whakahangia ana e ia ki roto ki ona pongaihu te manawa ora; a ka wairua ora te tangata.

⁸And Jehovah God planteth a garden in Eden, at the east, and He setteth there the man whom He hath formed;

⁸¶ Na ka whakatokia e Ihowa, e te Atua, tetahi kari ki te taha ki te rawhiti, ki Erene; a whakanohoia iho e ia ki reira te tangata i hanga e ia.

⁹and Jehovah God causeth to sprout from the ground every tree desirable for appearance, and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

⁹A i whakatupuria e Ihowa, e te Atua, i roto i te oneone nga rakau katoa he mea ahuareka ki te titiro, he pai hoki hei kai; ko te rakau hoki o te ora ki waenganui o te kari, me te rakau o te matauranga ki te pai, ki te kino.

¹⁰And a river is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from thence it is parted, and hath become four chief [rivers];

¹⁰I rere mai ano he awa i Erene hei whakamakuku i te kari; a i reira ka manganga e wha nga tino awa.

¹¹the name of the one [is] Pison, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of the Havilah where the gold [is],

¹¹Ko te ingoa o te tuatahi ko Pihona; ko ia tera e taiawhio ra i te whenua katoa o Hawira, he koura kei reira;

¹²and the gold of that land [is] good, there [is] the bdolach and the shoham stone;

¹²He pai hoki te koura o taua whenua: kei reira te teriuma me te kohatu onika.

¹³and the name of the second river [is] Gibon, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Cush;

¹³Ko te ingoa o te rua o nga awa ko Kihona: ko ia tera e taiawhio ra i te whenua katoa o Etiopia.

¹⁴and the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel, it [is] that which is going east of Asshur; and the fourth river is Phrat.

¹⁴Ko te ingoa o te toru o nga awa ko Hirekere; ko te mea tera e rere ra i mua o Ahiria. Ko Uparati te wha o nga awa.

¹⁵And Jehovah God taketh the man, and causeth him to rest in the garden of Eden, to serve it, and to keep it.

¹⁵Na ka tango a Ihowa, te Atua, i te tangata, a whakanohoia ana e ia ki te kari o Erene, hei ngaki, hei tiaki hoki reira.

¹⁶And Jehovah God layeth a charge on the man, saying, `Of every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat;

¹⁶¶ Na ka ako a Ihowa, te Atua, ki te tangata, ka mea, E pai ana kia kai noa atu koe i nga hua o nga rakau katoa o te kari:

¹⁷and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it — dying thou dost die.`

¹⁷Ko te rakau ia o te matauranga ki te pai, ki te kino, kaua e kainga tetahi o ona hua; ko te ra e kai ai koe i tetahi o ona hua, ka mate koe, mate rawa.

¹⁸And Jehovah God saith, `Not good for the man to be alone, I do make to him an helper — as his counterpart.`

¹⁸¶ Na ka mea a Ihowa, te Atua, E kore e pai kia noho te tangata ko ia anake; me hanga e ahau tetahi hoa pai mona.

¹⁹And Jehovah God formeth from the ground every beast of the field, and every fowl of the heavens, and bringeth in unto the man, to see what he doth call it; and whatever the man calleth a living creature, that [is] its name.

¹⁹Na he mea whakaahua mai na Ihowa, na te Atua, i roto i te oneone nga kirehe katoa o te parae, me nga manu katoa o te rangi; a kawea mai ana e ia ki a Arama, kia kitea ai te ingoa e huaina e ia ki a ratou: a ko a Arama i hua ai ki nga mea ora kat oa, hei ingoa era mo ratou.

²⁰And the man calleth names to all the cattle, and to fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; and to man hath not been found an helper — as his counterpart.

²⁰Na ka huaina e Arama he ingoa mo nga kararehe katoa, mo nga manu o te rangi, mo nga kirehe katoa hoki o te parae; ko Arama ia kahore i kitea tetahi hoa pai mona.

²¹And Jehovah God causeth a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he sleepeth, and He taketh one of his ribs, and closeth up flesh in its stead.

²¹¶ Na ka mea a Ihowa, te Atua, kia parangia a Arama e te moe, a moe ana ia: na tangohia ana e ia tetahi o ona rara, a whakatutakina atu ana te kikokiko hei whakakapi mo reira;

²²And Jehovah God buildeth up the rib which He hath taken out of the man into a woman, and bringeth her in unto the man;

²²Na ka hanga a Ihowa, te Atua, i te rara i tangohia mai ra e ia i roto i a Arama hei wahine, a kawea ana e ia ki a Arama.

²³and the man saith, `This [is] the [proper] step! bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!` for this it is called Woman, for from a man hath this been taken;

²³A ka mea a Arama, Katahi ano ki tenei te wheua o roto o oku wheua, me te kikokiko o roto o oku kikokiko: me hua ia ko te Wahine, nona hoki i tangohia mai i roto i te Tangata.

²⁴therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and hath cleaved unto his wife, and they have become one flesh.

²⁴No konei te tangata ka whakarere i tona papa me tona whaea, a ka piri ki tana wahine: a hei kikokiko kotahi raua.

²⁵And they are both of them naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.

²⁵A e tu tahanga ana raua tokorua, te tangata me tana wahine, kihai hoki i whakama.
