¹Nõnda on taevas ja maa ning kõik nende väed valmis saanud.

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

²Ja Jumal oli lõpetanud seitsmendaks päevaks oma töö, mis ta tegi, ja hingas seitsmendal päeval kõigist oma tegudest, mis ta oli teinud.

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.

³Ja Jumal õnnistas seitsmendat päeva ja pühitses seda, sest ta oli siis hinganud kõigist oma tegudest, mis Jumal luues oli teinud.

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.

⁴See on lugu taeva ja maa sündimisest, kui need loodi. Sel ajal, kui Issand Jumal tegi maa ja taeva,

⁴These are the histories of the heavens and the earth, when they were created, in the day that Jehovah Elohim made earth and heavens,

⁵kui ainsatki väljapõõsast ei olnud veel maa peal ja ainsatki väljarohtu ei olnud veel tärganud, sest Issand Jumal ei olnud lasknud vihma sadada maa peale, ja inimest ei olnud põldu harimas,

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.

⁶tõusis udu maast ja kastis kogu mullapinda.

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

⁷Ja Issand Jumal valmistas inimese, kes põrm on, mullast, ja puhus tema ninasse eluhinguse: nõnda sai inimene elavaks hingeks.

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

⁸Ja Issand Jumal istutas Eedeni rohuaia päevatõusu poole ja pani sinna inimese, kelle ta oli valmistanud.

⁸And Jehovah Elohim planted a garden in Eden eastward, and there put Man whom he had formed.

⁹Ja Issand Jumal laskis maast tõusta kõiksugu puid, mis olid armsad pealtnäha ja millest oli hea süüa, ja elupuu keset aeda, ning hea ja kurja tundmise puu.

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.

¹⁰Ja Eedenist sai alguse jõgi, mis kastis rohuaeda, jagunedes sealtpeale neljaks haruks:

¹⁰And a river went out of Eden, to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became four main streams.

¹¹esimese nimi on Piison, see voolab ümber kogu Havilamaa, kus on kulda;

¹¹The name of the one is Pison: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Havilah, where the gold is.

¹²selle maa kuld on hea, seal on bedolavaiku ja karneoolikive.

¹²And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and the onyx stone are there.

¹³Ja teise jõe nimi on Giihon, see voolab ümber kogu Kuusimaa.

¹³And the name of the second river is Gihon: that is it which surrounds the whole land of Cush.

¹⁴Ja kolmanda jõe nimi on Hiddekel, see voolab hommiku pool Assurit; ja neljas jõgi on Frat.

¹⁴And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which flows forward toward Asshur. And the fourth river, that is Euphrates.

¹⁵Ja Issand Jumal võttis inimese ja pani ta Eedeni aeda harima ja hoidma.

¹⁵And Jehovah Elohim took Man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to till it and to guard it.

¹⁶Ja Issand Jumal keelas inimest ja ütles: 'Kõigist aia puudest sa võid küll süüa,

¹⁶And Jehovah Elohim commanded Man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou shalt freely eat;

¹⁷aga hea ja kurja tundmise puust sa ei tohi süüa, sest päeval, mil sa sellest sööd, pead sa surma surema!'

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.

¹⁸Ja Issand Jumal ütles: 'Inimesel ei ole hea üksi olla; ma tahan teha temale abi, kes tema kohane on.'

¹⁸And Jehovah Elohim said, It is not good that Man should be alone; I will make him a helpmate, his like.

¹⁹Ja Issand Jumal valmistas mullast kõik loomad väljal ja kõik linnud taeva all ning tõi inimese juurde, et näha, kuidas tema neid nimetab. Ja kuidas inimene igat elavat olendit nimetas, nõnda pidi selle nimi olema.

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.

²⁰Ja inimene pani nimed kõigile kariloomadele ja lindudele taeva all ja kõigile metsloomadele, aga inimesele ei leidunud abilist, kes tema kohane oleks.

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.

²¹Siis Issand Jumal laskis tulla raske une inimese peale ja see jäi magama; siis ta võttis ühe tema küljeluudest ning sulges selle aseme taas lihaga.

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.

²²Ja Issand Jumal ehitas küljeluu, mille ta inimesest oli võtnud, naiseks ja tõi tema Aadama juurde.

²²And Jehovah Elohim built the rib that he had taken from Man into a woman; and brought her to Man.

²³Ja Aadam ütles: 'See on nüüd luu minu luust ja liha minu lihast. Teda peab hüütama mehe naiseks, sest ta on mehest võetud!'

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.

²⁴Seepärast jätab mees maha oma isa ja ema ning hoiab oma naise poole, ja nemad on üks liha!

²⁴Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

²⁵Ja nad olid mõlemad alasti, Aadam ja tema naine, ega häbenenud.

²⁵And they were both naked, Man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
