1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Basi mbingu na nchi zikamalizika, na jeshi lake lote.
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.
Na siku ya saba Mungu alimaliza kazi yake yote aliyoifanya; akastarehe siku ya saba, akaacha kufanya kazi yake yote aliyoifanya.
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.
Mungu akaibarikia siku ya saba, akaitakasa kwa sababu katika siku hiyo Mungu alistarehe, akaacha kufanya kazi yake yote aliyoiumba na kuifanya.
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,
Hivyo ndivyo vizazi vya mbingu na nchi zilipoumbwa. Siku ile Bwana Mungu alipoziumba mbingu na nchi
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.
hapakuwa na mche wa kondeni bado, wala mboga ya kondeni haijachipuka bado, kwa maana Bwana Mungu hajainyeshea nchi mvua, wala hapana mtu wa kuilima ardhi;
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
ukungu ukapanda katika nchi, ukatia maji juu ya uso wote wa ardhi.
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.
Bwana Mungu akamfanya mtu kwa mavumbi ya ardhi, akampulizia puani pumzi ya uhai; mtu akawa nafsi hai.
8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Bwana Mungu akapanda bustani upande wa mashariki wa Edeni, akamweka ndani yake huyo mtu aliyemfanya.
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.
Bwana Mungu akachipusha katika ardhi kila mti unaotamanika kwa macho na kufaa kwa kuliwa; na mti wa uzima katikati ya bustani, na mti wa ujuzi wa mema na mabaya.
10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
Ukatoka mto katika Edeni wa kuitilia bustani maji, na kutokea hapo ukagawanyika kuwa vichwa vinne.
11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
Jina la wa kwanza ni Pishoni; ndio unaozunguka nchi yote ya Havila, ambako kuna dhahabu;
12 and the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
na dhahabu ya nchi ile ni njema; huko kuna bedola, na vito shoham.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
Na jina la mto wa pili ni Gihoni; ndio unaozunguka nchi yote ya Kushi.
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.
Na jina la mto wa tatu ni Hidekeli; ndio unaopita mbele ya Ashuru. Na mto wa nne ni Frati.
15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Bwana Mungu akamtwaa huyo mtu, akamweka katika bustani ya Edeni, ailime na kuitunza.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Bwana Mungu akamwagiza huyo mtu, akisema, Matunda ya kila mti wa bustani waweza kula,
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.
walakini matunda ya mti wa ujuzi wa mema na mabaya usile, kwa maana siku utakapokula matunda ya mti huo utakufa hakika.
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.
Bwana Mungu akasema, Si vema huyo mtu awe peke yake, nitamfanyia msaidizi wa kufanana naye.
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.
Bwana Mungu akafanyiza kutoka katika ardhi kila mnyama wa msituni, na kila ndege wa angani, akamletea Adamu ili aone atawaitaje; kila kiumbe hai, jina alilokiita Adamu likawa ndilo jina lake.
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.
Adamu akawapa majina yao kila mnyama wa kufugwa, na ndege wa angani, na kila mnyama wa mwituni; lakini hakuonekana wa kumsaidia Adamu aliyefanana naye.
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;
Bwana Mungu akamletea Adamu usingizi mzito, naye akalala; kisha akatwaa ubavu wake mmoja, akafunika nyama mahali pake,
22 and the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
na ule ubavu alioutwaa katika Adamu Bwana Mungu akaufanya mwanamke, akamleta kwa Adamu.
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.
Adamu akasema, Sasa huyu ni mfupa katika mifupa yangu, na nyama katika nyama yangu, basi ataitwa mwanamke, kwa maana ametwaliwa katika mwanamume.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Kwa hiyo mwanamume atamwacha baba yake na mama yake naye ataambatana na mkewe, nao watakuwa mwili mmoja.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Nao walikuwa uchi wote wawili, Adamu na mkewe, wala hawakuona haya.
