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

¹In tako so bila dodelana nebesa in zemlja in vsa njih vojska.

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.

²In dodelal je Bog sedmi dan delo svoje, katero je bil storil, in počival je sedmi dan od vsega dela svojega, ki ga je bil storil.

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

³In blagoslovil je Bog sedmi dan in ga posvetil, ker je ta dan počival od vsega dela svojega, ki ga je bil Bog ustvaril in storil.

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.

⁴To so početki nebes in zemlje, ko so bila ustvarjena, ob času, ko je GOSPOD [GOSPOD nam rabi namesto hebrejskega: Jehova.] Bog naredil zemljo in nebo;

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,

⁵in ni bilo še nobenega bilja poljskega na zemlji, in vsa zelenjava poljska še ni bila pognala; ker ni bil GOSPOD Bog poslal dežja na zemljo, in ni bilo človeka, ki bi obdeloval zemljo;

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

⁶a sopar je vzhajal iz zemlje in namakal vse površje zemlje.

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.

⁷Tedaj upodobi GOSPOD Bog človeka iz prahu zemeljskega in vdahne v nosnice njegove dih življenja, in tako je postal človek živa duša.

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

⁸Zasadi pa GOSPOD Bog vrt v Edenu proti jutru in postavi vanj človeka, ki ga je bil upodobil.

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.

⁹In stori Bog, da je pognalo iz tiste zemlje vsaktero drevje, prijetno očesu in dobro v jed, tudi drevo življenja sredi vrta in drevo spoznanja dobrega in hudega.

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

¹⁰In reka je tekla iz Edena močit ta vrt, in odtod se je delila in izlivala v štiri glavne reke:

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

¹¹Prvi je ime Pison, ta, ki obteka vso pokrajino Havilsko, kjer je zlato;

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

¹²in zlato tiste pokrajine je izvrstno; tam je bdelij in kamen oniks.

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

¹³In ime drugi reki je Gihon, ta, ki obteka vso pokrajino Kuševo.

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

¹⁴In ime tretji reki Hidekel, ta, ki teče v ospredju Asirije. Reka četrta pa je Evfrat.

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

¹⁵Vzame torej GOSPOD Bog človeka ter ga postavi na vrt Edenski, da bi ga obdeloval in ga varoval.

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

¹⁶In GOSPOD Bog zapove človeku, rekoč: Od vsega drevja s tega vrta prosto jej;

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.”

¹⁷a od drevesa spoznanja dobrega in hudega, od tega ne jej: zakaj tisti dan, ko bodeš jedel od njega, gotovo zapadeš smrti!

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

¹⁸Reče pa GOSPOD Bog: Ni dobro biti človeku samemu; naredim mu pomoč njegove vrste.

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.

¹⁹Kajti GOSPOD Bog je bil upodobil iz prsti vse živali na polju in vse ptice pod nebom ter jih privedel k Adamu, da bi videl, kako bode imenoval posamezne; in s katerimkoli imenom bi jih klical Adam, vsaktero živo bitje, tako mu bodi ime.

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.

²⁰In Adam je imenoval z imeni vse živali in ptice pod nebom in vse zveri na polju; a za Adama ni se našla pomoč njegove vrste.

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.

²¹In GOSPOD Bog pošlje trdno spanje Adamu, in zaspi; in vzame mu eno izmed reber njegovih in vtakne meso na mesto njegovo.

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

²²In GOSPOD Bog stvori iz tistega rebra, ki ga je vzel Adamu, ženo, in jo privede k Adamu.

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.”

²³Tedaj reče Adam: To je sedaj kost iz mojih kosti in meso iz mojega mesa; ta se bode imenovala Možinja, zato ker je vzeta iz moža.

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

²⁴Zato zapusti mož očeta svojega in mater svojo in držal se bo žene svoje in bodeta v eno meso.Bila sta pa oba naga, Adam in žena njegova, a ni ju bilo sram.

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

²⁵Bila sta pa oba naga, Adam in žena njegova, a ni ju bilo sram.
