Genesis 2
Complete Jewish Bible
2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, along with everything in them. 2 On the seventh day God was finished with his work which he had made, so he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 God blessed the seventh day and separated it as holy; because on that day God rested from all his work which he had created, so that it itself could produce.
(A: iv, S: ii) 4 Here is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created. On the day when Adonai, God, made earth and heaven, 5 there was as yet no wild bush on the earth, and no wild plant had as yet sprung up; for Adonai, God, had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no one to cultivate the ground. 6 Rather, a mist went up from the earth which watered the entire surface of the ground.
7 Then Adonai, God, formed a person [a] from the dust of the ground [b] and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, so that he became a living being. 8 Adonai, God, planted a garden toward the east, in ‘Eden, and there he put the person whom he had formed. 9 Out of the ground Adonai, God, caused to grow every tree pleasing in appearance and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 A river went out of ‘Eden to water the garden, and from there it divided into four streams. 11 The name of the first is Pishon; it winds throughout the land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx stone are also found there. 13 The name of the second river is Gichon; it winds throughout the land of Kush. 14 The name of the third river is Tigris; it is the one that flows toward the east of Ashur. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 Adonai, God, took the person and put him in the garden of ‘Eden to cultivate and care for it. 16 Adonai, God, gave the person this order: “You may freely eat from every tree in the garden 17 except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. You are not to eat from it, because on the day that you eat from it, it will become certain that you will die.”
18 Adonai, God, said, “It isn’t good that the person should be alone. I will make for him a companion suitable for helping him.” 19 So from the ground Adonai, God, formed every wild animal and every bird that flies in the air, and he brought them to the person to see what he would call them. Whatever the person would call each living creature, that was to be its name. (S: iii) 20 So the person gave names to all the livestock, to the birds in the air and to every wild animal. But for Adam there was not found a companion suitable for helping him.
21 Then God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the person; and while he was sleeping, he took one of his ribs and closed up the place from which he took it with flesh. 22 The rib which Adonai, God, had taken from the person, he made a woman-person; and he brought her to the man-person. 23 The man-person said, “At last! This is bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh. She is to be called Woman [c], because she was taken out of Man [d].” 24 This is why a man is to leave his father and mother and stick with his wife, and they are to be one flesh.
25 They were both naked, the man and his wife, and they were not ashamed.

2 Nilikha nga ng Diyos ang langit at ang lupa at ang lahat ng bagay na naroroon. 2 Tinapos(A) (B) niyang likhain ang lahat ng ito sa loob ng anim na araw, at siya'y nagpahinga sa ikapitong araw. 3 Pinagpala niya ang ikapitong araw at itinuring itong banal, sapagkat sa araw na ito siya nagpahinga matapos likhain ang lahat. 4 Ganito ang pagkalikha sa langit at sa lupa.
Ang Halamanan ng Eden
Nang likhain ng Panginoong Yahweh ang lupa at lahat ng bagay sa langit, 5 wala pang anumang halaman o pananim sa lupa, sapagkat hindi pa nagpapaulan noon ang Panginoong Yahweh, at wala pa ring nagsasaka. 6 Ngunit mayroon nang bukal ng tubig na dumidilig sa kapatagan sa lupa.[a]
7 Pagkatapos,(C) ginawa ng Panginoong Yahweh ang tao[b] mula sa alabok, hiningahan niya sa ilong, at nagkaroon ito ng buhay.
8 Gumawa ang Panginoong Yahweh ng isang halamanan sa Eden, sa dakong silangan, at doon dinala ang taong kanyang nilalang. 9 Pinatubo(D) niya roon ang lahat ng uri ng punongkahoy na magagandang pagmasdan at masasarap ang bunga. Sa gitna ng halamanan ay naroon ang punongkahoy na nagbibigay-buhay, at gayundin ang punongkahoy na nagbibigay-kaalaman tungkol sa mabuti at masama.
10 Umaagos noon mula sa Eden ang isang ilog na dumidilig sa halamanan. Paglabas doon, ito'y nahahati sa apat na sanga. 11 Ang una na kung tawagi'y Ilog Pishon ay umaagos sa lupain ng Havila. 12 Lantay ang ginto roon at marami ring bedelio at batong onise. 13 Ang ikalawang sanga ng ilog na tinawag namang Gihon ay umaagos sa lupain ng Etiopia.[c] 14 Ilog Tigris naman ang tawag sa ikatlong sanga, at umaagos naman ito sa silangan ng Asiria. Ang ikaapat na sanga ng ilog ay ang Eufrates.
15 Inilagay ng Panginoong Yahweh ang tao sa halamanan ng Eden upang ito'y pagyamanin at pangalagaan. 16 Sinabi niya sa tao, “Makakain mo ang alinmang bungangkahoy sa halamanan, 17 maliban sa bunga ng punongkahoy na nagbibigay ng kaalaman tungkol sa mabuti at masama. Huwag na huwag mong kakainin ang bungang iyon, sapagkat sa araw na kainin mo iyon ay mamamatay ka.”
18 Matapos gawin ang lahat ng ito, sinabi ng Panginoong Yahweh, “Hindi mabuti na mag-isa ang tao; bibigyan ko siya ng isang angkop na makakasama at makakatulong.” 19 Kaya, mula sa lupa ay lumikha ang Panginoong Yahweh ng mga hayop sa parang at mga ibon sa himpapawid, dinala niya ang mga ito sa tao upang ipaubaya rito ang pagbibigay ng pangalan sa mga iyon. Kung ano ang kanyang itinawag, iyon ang naging pangalan ng mga ito. 20 Ang tao nga ang nagbigay ng pangalan sa lahat ng ibon sa himpapawid at hayop sa parang. Ngunit wala isa man sa mga ito ang nababagay na makasama at makatulong niya.
21 Kaya't pinatulog ng Panginoong Yahweh ang tao. Samantalang nahihimbing, kinuha niya ang isang tadyang nito at pinaghilom ang laman sa tapat niyon. 22 Ang tadyang na iyo'y ginawa niyang isang babae, at dinala niya ito sa lalaki. 23 Sinabi ng lalaki,
“Sa wakas, narito ang isang tulad ko,
laman ng aking laman, buto ng aking buto;
babae ang itatawag sa kanya, sapagkat sa lalaki[d] siya'y kinuha.”
24 Ito(E) ang dahilan kaya iniiwan ng lalaki ang kanyang ama't ina, nagsasama sila ng kanyang asawa, at sila'y nagiging isa. 25 Kapwa hubad noon ang lalaki at ang babae, ngunit hindi sila nahihiya.

Genesis 2
King James Version
2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
