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

¹Maka selesailah penciptaan seluruh alam semesta.

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.

²Pada hari yang ketujuh Allah telah menyelesaikan pekerjaan-Nya itu, lalu Ia beristirahat.

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

³Maka diberkati-Nya hari yang ketujuh itu dan dijadikan-Nya hari yang khusus, karena pada hari itu Allah beristirahat setelah menyelesaikan pekerjaan-Nya.

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.

⁴Itulah riwayat penciptaan alam semesta. Ketika TUHAN Allah membuat alam semesta,

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,

⁵belum ada benih yang bertunas dan belum ada tanam-tanaman di bumi, karena TUHAN belum menurunkan hujan dan belum ada orang untuk mengerjakan tanah itu.

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

⁶Tetapi air mulai merembes dari bawah dan membasahi permukaan bumi.

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.

⁷Kemudian TUHAN Allah mengambil sedikit tanah, membentuknya menjadi seorang manusia, lalu menghembuskan napas yang memberi hidup ke dalam lubang hidungnya; maka hiduplah manusia itu.

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

⁸Selanjutnya TUHAN Allah membuat taman di Eden, di sebelah timur, dan ditempatkan-Nya di situ manusia yang sudah dibentuk-Nya itu.

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.

⁹TUHAN Allah menumbuhkan segala macam pohon yang indah, yang menghasilkan buah-buahan yang baik. Di tengah-tengah taman tumbuhlah pohon yang memberi hidup, dan pohon yang memberi pengetahuan tentang yang baik dan yang jahat.

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

¹⁰Sebuah sungai mengalir dari Eden, membasahi taman itu; dan di luar Eden sungai itu terbagi menjadi empat cabang.

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

¹¹Yang pertama bernama Pison; sungai itu mengalir mengelilingi tanah Hawila.

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

¹²Di situ terdapat emas murni dan juga wangi-wangian yang sulit diperoleh, serta batu-batu permata.

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

¹³Sungai yang kedua bernama Gihon; airnya mengalir mengelilingi tanah Kus.

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

¹⁴Sungai yang ketiga bernama Tigris dan mengalir di sebelah timur Asyur. Sungai yang keempat bernama Efrat.

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

¹⁵Kemudian TUHAN Allah menempatkan manusia itu di taman Eden untuk mengerjakan dan memelihara taman itu.

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

¹⁶TUHAN berkata kepada manusia itu, "Engkau boleh makan buah-buahan dari semua pohon di taman ini,

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.”

¹⁷kecuali dari pohon yang memberi pengetahuan tentang yang baik dan yang jahat. Buahnya tidak boleh engkau makan; jika engkau memakannya, engkau pasti akan mati pada hari itu juga."

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

¹⁸Lalu TUHAN Allah berkata, "Tidak baik manusia hidup sendirian. Aku akan membuat teman yang cocok untuk membantunya."

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.

¹⁹Maka Ia mengambil sedikit tanah dan membentuk segala macam binatang darat dan binatang udara. Semuanya dibawa Allah kepada manusia itu untuk melihat nama apa yang akan diberikannya kepada binatang-binatang itu. Itulah asal mulanya binatang di darat dan di udara mendapat namanya masing-masing.

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.

²⁰Demikianlah manusia itu memberi nama kepada semua binatang di darat dan di udara. Tetapi tidak satu pun di antaranya bisa menjadi teman yang cocok untuk membantunya.

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.

²¹Lalu TUHAN Allah membuat manusia tidur nyenyak, dan selagi ia tidur, TUHAN Allah mengeluarkan salah satu rusuk dari tubuh manusia itu, lalu menutup bekasnya dengan daging.

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

²²Dari rusuk itu TUHAN membentuk seorang perempuan, lalu membawanya kepada manusia itu.

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.”

²³Maka berkatalah manusia itu, "Ini dia, orang yang sama dengan aku--tulang dari tulangku, dan daging dari dagingku. Kunamakan dia perempuan, karena ia diambil dari laki-laki."

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

²⁴Itulah sebabnya orang laki-laki meninggalkan ayah dan ibunya, dan bersatu dengan istrinya, lalu keduanya menjadi satu.

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

²⁵Laki-laki dan perempuan itu telanjang, tetapi mereka tidak merasa malu.
