¹And the heavens and the earth and all their host were finished.

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

²And God had finished on the seventh day his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had 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 blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, because that on it he rested from all his work which God had created in making it.

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 the histories of the heavens and the earth, when they were created, in the day that Jehovah Elohim made 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 every shrub of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew; for Jehovah Elohim had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till 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;

⁶But a mist went up from the earth, and moistened the whole surface of the ground.

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

⁷And Jehovah Elohim formed Man, dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and Man became a living soul.

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 Elohim planted a garden in Eden eastward, and there put Man whom he had 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 out of the ground Jehovah Elohim made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; and the tree of life, in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the 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 went out of Eden, to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four main streams.

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: that is it which surrounds the whole land of 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; bdellium and the onyx stone are there.

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

¹³And the name of the second river is Gihon: that is it which surrounds 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: that is it which flows forward toward Asshur. And the fourth river, that is Euphrates.

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 Elohim took Man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it and to guard 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 Elohim commanded Man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt freely 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:

¹⁷but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest of it thou shalt certainly 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 Elohim said, It is not good that Man should be alone; I will make him a helpmate, his like.

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 out of the ground Jehovah Elohim had formed every animal of the field and all fowl of the heavens, and brought [them] to Man, to see what he would call them; and whatever Man called each living soul, that was 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 Man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but as for Adam, he found no helpmate, his like.

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 Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon Man; and he slept. And he took one of his ribs and closed 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 Elohim built the rib that he had taken from Man into a woman; and brought her to 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 Man said, This time it is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh: this shall be called Woman, because this was taken out of a man.

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 shall a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall 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 were both naked, Man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

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