¹ Tako se dovrši nebo i zemlja i sva vojska njihova.

² I svrši Bog do sedmog dana dela svoja, koja učini; i počinu u sedmi dan od svih dela svojih, koja učini;

³ I blagoslovi Bog sedmi dan, i posveti ga, jer u taj dan počinu od svih dela svojih, koja učini;

⁴ To je postanje neba i zemlje, kad postaše, kad Gospod Bog stvori zemlju i nebo,

⁵ I svaku biljku poljsku, dokle je još ne beše na zemlji, i svaku travku poljsku, dokle još ne nicaše; jer Gospod Bog još ne pusti dažda na zemlju, niti beše čoveka da radi zemlju,

⁶ Ali se podizaše para sa zemlje da natapa svu zemlju.

⁷ A stvori Gospod Bog čoveka od praha zemaljskog, i dunu mu u nos duh životni; i posta čovek duša živa.

⁸ I nasadi Gospod Bog vrt u Edemu na istoku; i onde namesti čoveka, kog stvori.

⁹ I učini Gospod Bog, te nikoše iz zemlje svakakva drveća lepa za gledanje i dobra za jelo, i drvo od života usred vrta i drvo od znanja dobra i zla.

¹⁰ A voda tečaše iz Edema natapajući vrt, i odande se deljaše u četiri reke.

¹¹ Jednoj je ime Fison, ona teče oko cele zemlje evilske, a onde ima zlata,

¹² I zlato je one zemlje vrlo dobro; onde ima i bdela i dragog kamena oniha.

¹³ A drugoj je reci ime Geon, ona teče oko cele zemlje huske.

¹⁴ A trećoj je reci ime Hidekel, ona teče k asirskoj. A četvrta je reka Efrat.

¹⁵ I uzevši Gospod Bog čoveka namesti ga u vrtu edemskom, da ga radi i da ga čuva.

¹⁶ I zapreti Gospod Bog čoveku govoreći: Jedi slobodno sa svakog drveta u vrtu;

¹⁷ Ali s drveta od znanja dobra i zla, s njega ne jedi; jer u koji dan okusiš s njega, umrećeš.

¹⁸ I reče Gospod Bog: Nije dobro da je čovek sam; da mu načinim druga prema njemu.

¹⁹ Jer Gospod Bog stvori od zemlje sve zveri poljske i sve ptice nebeske, i dovede k Adamu da vidi kako će koju nazvati, pa kako Adam nazove koju životinju onako da joj bude ime;

²⁰ I Adam nadede ime svakom živinčetu i svakoj ptici nebeskoj i svakoj zveri poljskoj; ali se ne nađe Adamu drug prema njemu.

²¹ I Gospod Bog pusti tvrd san na Adama, te zaspa; pa mu uze jedno rebro, i mesto popuni mesom;

²² I Gospod Bog stvori ženu od rebra, koje uze Adamu, i dovede je k Adamu.

²³ A Adam reče: Sada eto kost od mojih kosti, i telo od mog tela. Neka joj bude ime čovečica, jer je uzeta od čoveka.

²⁴ Zato će ostaviti čovek oca svog i mater svoju, i prilepiće se k ženi svojoj, i biće dvoje jedno telo.

²⁵ A behu oboje goli. Adam i žena mu, i ne beše ih sramota.

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

² On 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.

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

⁴ This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made the earth and the heavens.

⁵ No 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,

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

⁷ Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

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

⁹ Out 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁷ but 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."

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

¹⁹ Out 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.

²⁰ The 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.

²¹ Yahweh 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.

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

²³ The 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."

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

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