¹Dia vita ny lanitra sy ny tany sy izay rehetra ao aminy.

¹The heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.

²Ary tamin'ny andro fahafito dia vitan'Andriamanitra ny asa efa nataony; ary dia nitsahatra tamin'ny andro fahafito Izy tamin'ny asany rehetra izay efa nataony.

²On the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

³Ary Andriamanitra nitahy ny andro fahafito sy nanamasina azy, satria tamin'izany no nitsaharan'Andriamanitra tamin'ny asany rehetra izay noforoniny tamin'ny nanaovany azy.

³God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work which he had created and made.

⁴[Ny saha tao Edena, sy ny toetry ny olombelona fony tsy mbola nanota izy] Ary izao no tantaran'ny lanitra sy ny tany tamin'ny namoronana azy, dia tamin'ny nanaovan'i Jehovah Andriamanitra ny tany sy ny lanitra:

⁴This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. God made the earth and the heavens.

⁵Ny hazo madinika famboly dia tsy mbola nisy teo amin'ny tany, ary ny anana famboly tsy mbola nisy naniry; fa tsy mbola nampilatsaka ranonorana tambonin'ny tany Jehovah Andriamanitra, ary nisy olona hiasa ny tany;

⁵No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,

⁶nefa nisy zavona niakatra avy tamin'ny tany ka nandena ny tany rehetra.

⁶but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.

⁷Ary vovo-tany no namoronan'i Jehovah Andriamanitra ny olona, ary nofofoniny fofonaina mahavelona ny vavorony; dia tonga olombelona izy.

⁷Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

⁸Ary Jehovah Andriamanitra nanao saha tao Edena tany atsinanana, ka napetrany tao ralehilahy izay noforoniny.

⁸Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.

⁹Ary nampanirin'i Jehovah Andriamanitra teo amin'ny tany ny hazo rehetra izay maha-te-hizaha sady tsara ho fihinana, ary ny hazon'aina teo afovoan'ny saha sy ny hazo fahalalana ny tsara sy ny ratsy.

⁹Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

¹⁰Ary nisy ony nivoaka avy tao Edena handena ny saha; hatreo izy dia nizara ka nisampana efatra:

¹⁰A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became four heads.

¹¹Ny anaran'ny voalohany dia Pisona; io no mandeha manodidina ny tany Havila rehetra, izay misy ny volamena;

¹¹The name of the first is Pishon: this is the one which flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

¹²ary tsara ny volamena amin'izany tany izany; any ny bedola sy ny vato beryla.

¹²and the gold of that land is good. There is aromatic resin and the onyx stone.

¹³Ary ny anaran'ny ony faha dia Gihona; io no mandeha manodidina ny tany Kosy rehetra.

¹³The name of the second river is Gihon: the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush.

¹⁴Ary ny anaran'ny ony fahatelo dia Hidekela; io no mandeha tandrifin'i Asyria. Ary ny ony fahefatra dia Eofrata.

¹⁴The name of the third river is Hiddekel: this is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.

¹⁵Ary Jehovah Andriamanitra nitondra an-dralehilahy ka namponina azy tao amin'ny saha Edena hiasa sy hitandrina azy.

¹⁵Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

¹⁶Ary Jehovah Andriamanitra nandidy an-dralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Ny hazo rehetra eo amin'ny saha dia azonao ihinanana ihany;

¹⁶Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;

¹⁷fa ny hazo fahalalana ny tsara sy ny ratsy dia aza ihinanana; fa amin'ny andro izay ihinananao azy dia ho faty tokoa ianao.

¹⁷but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die.”

¹⁸Ary Jehovah Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Tsy tsara raha irery ralehilahy; dia hanaovako vady sahaza ho azy izy.

¹⁸Yahweh God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.”

¹⁹Ary tany no namoronan'i Jehovah Andriamanitra ny bibi-dia rehetra sy ny voro-manidina rehetra; dia nentiny tany amin-dralehilahy ireny hahitany izay hanononany azy avy; ary izay rehetra nanononan-dralehilahy ny zava-manan'aina rehetra, dia izany no anarany.

¹⁹Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.

²⁰Dia nomen-dralehilahy anarana ny biby fiompy rehetra sy ny ny voro-manidina mbamin'ny bibi-dia rehetra; nefa tsy hita izay vady sahaza ho an-dralehilahy.

²⁰The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper suitable for him.

²¹Ary Jehovah Andriamanitra nahasondrian-tory an-dralehilahy, ka dia natory izy; dia naka ny taolan-tehezany anankiray Izy ka nanakombona nofo ho solony.

²¹Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.

²²Ary ny taolan-tehezana izay nalain'i Jehovah Andriamanitra tamin-dralehilahy dia nataony vehivavy ka nentiny tany amin-dralehilahy.

²²He made the rib, which Yahweh God had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her to the man.

²³Ary hoy ralehilahy: Ankehitriny dia taolana avy amin'ny taolako sy nofo avy amin'ny nofoko ity; ity dia hatao hoe vehivavy satria lehilahy no nanalana azy.

²³The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken out of Man.”

²⁴Ary noho izany ny lehilahy dia handao ny rainy sy ny reniny ka hikambana amin'ny vadiny; dia ho nofo iray ihany ireo.Ary nitanjaka izy mivady, dia ralehilahy sy ny vadiny, nefa tsy nahalala henatra izy.

²⁴Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.

²⁵Ary nitanjaka izy mivady, dia ralehilahy sy ny vadiny, nefa tsy nahalala henatra izy.

²⁵They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
