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.

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.

⁴ Woone yaŋ no ga ti beene nda ganda baarey, waato kaŋ i n'i taka, waato kaŋ Rabbi Irikoy na beene nda ganda te:

⁴These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven.

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,

⁵And no plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Jehovah God had not caused it to rain upon the earth: and there was not a man to till the ground;

⁶ Amma dullu yeeno fo no ga fun ganda ka laabo kulu tayandi.

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

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.

⁹ Rabbi Irikoy na tuuri-nya dumi kulu fattandi laabo ra, kaŋ gunayaŋ ga boori, kaŋ yaŋ ŋwaari ga kaan mo. Fundi tuuri-nyaŋo mo fatta Eden kalo bindo ra, da tuuri-nyaŋo kaŋ ga boro no ihanno da ilaalo game ra fayanka.

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.
