¹ فأكملت السموات والارض وكل جندها.

² وفرغ الله في اليوم السابع من عمله الذي عمل. فاستراح في اليوم السابع من جميع عمله الذي عمل.

³ وبارك الله اليوم السابع وقدسه. لانه فيه استراح من جميع عمله الذي عمل الله خالقا

⁴ هذه مبادئ السموات والارض حين خلقت. يوم عمل الرب الاله الارض والسموات

⁵ كل شجر البرية لم يكن بعد في الارض وكل عشب البرية لم ينبت بعد. لان الرب الاله لم يكن قد امطر على الارض. ولا كان انسان ليعمل الارض.

⁶ ثم كان ضباب يطلع من الارض ويسقي كل وجه الارض.

⁷ وجبل الرب الاله آدم ترابا من الارض. ونفخ في انفه نسمة حياة. فصار آدم نفسا حيّة.

⁸ وغرس الرب الاله جنّة في عدن شرقا. ووضع هناك آدم الذي جبله.

⁹ وأنبت الرب الاله من الارض كل شجرة شهية للنظر وجيدة للأكل. وشجرة الحياة في وسط الجنة وشجرة معرفة الخير والشر.

¹⁰ وكان نهر يخرج من عدن ليسقي الجنة. ومن هناك ينقسم فيصير اربعة رؤوس.

¹¹ اسم الواحد فيشون. وهو المحيط بجميع ارض الحويلة حيث الذهب.

¹² وذهب تلك الارض جيد. هناك المقل وحجر الجزع.

¹³ واسم النهر الثاني جيحون. وهو المحيط بجميع ارض كوش.

¹⁴ واسم النهر الثالث حدّاقل. وهو الجاري شرقي اشور. والنهر الرابع الفرات

¹⁵ وأخذ الرب الاله آدم ووضعه في جنة عدن ليعملها ويحفظها.

¹⁶ واوصى الرب الاله آدم قائلا من جميع شجر الجنة تأكل اكلا.

¹⁷ واما شجرة معرفة الخير والشر فلا تأكل منها. لانك يوم تأكل منها موتا تموت.

¹⁸ وقال الرب الاله ليس جيدا ان يكون آدم وحده. فاصنع له معينا نظيره.

¹⁹ وجبل الرب الاله من الارض كل حيوانات البرية وكل طيور السماء. فاحضرها الى آدم ليرى ماذا يدعوها. وكل ما دعا به آدم ذات نفس حية فهو اسمها.

²⁰ فدعا آدم باسماء جميع البهائم وطيور السماء وجميع حيوانات البرية. واما لنفسه فلم يجد معينا نظيره.

²¹ فاوقع الرب الاله سباتا على آدم فنام. فأخذ واحدة من اضلاعه وملأ مكانها لحما.

²² وبنى الرب الاله الضلع التي اخذها من آدم امرأة واحضرها الى آدم.

²³ فقال آدم هذه الآن عظم من عظامي ولحم من لحمي. هذه تدعى امرأة لانها من امرء اخذت.

²⁴ لذلك يترك الرجل اباه وامه ويلتصق بامرأته ويكونان جسدا واحدا.

²⁵ وكانا كلاهما عريانين آدم وامرأته وهما لا يخجلان

¹ Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, "Has God really said, 'You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'"

² The woman said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,

³ but of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'"

⁴ The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,

⁵ for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

⁶ When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and ate; and she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate.

⁷ The eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

⁸ They heard the voice of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.

⁹ Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"

¹⁰ The man said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."

¹¹ God said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"

¹² The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."

¹³ Yahweh God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."

¹⁴ Yahweh God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

¹⁵ I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel."

¹⁶ To the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."

¹⁷ To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.

¹⁸ Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.

¹⁹ By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

²⁰ The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

²¹ Yahweh God made coats of skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.

²² Yahweh God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he put forth his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever..."

²³ Therefore Yahweh God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

²⁴ So he drove out the man; and he placed Cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
