¹ Tako bude dovršeno nebo i zemlja sa svom svojom vojskom.

² I sedmoga dana Bog dovrši svoje djelo koje učini. I počinu u sedmi dan od svega djela koje učini.

³ I blagoslovi Bog sedmi dan i posveti, jer u taj dan počinu od svega djela svoga koje učini.

⁴ To je postanak neba i zemlje, tako su stvarani. Kad je Jahve, Bog, sazdao nebo i zemlju,

⁵ još nije bilo nikakva poljskoga grmlja po zemlji, još ne bijaše niklo nikakvo poljsko bilje, jer Jahve, Bog, još ne pusti dažda na zemlju i nije bilo čovjeka da zemlju obrađuje.

⁶ Ipak, voda je izvirala iz zemlje i natapala svu površinu zemaljsku.

⁷ Jahve, Bog, napravi čovjeka od praha zemaljskog i u nosnice mu udahne dah života. Tako postane čovjek živa duša.

⁸ I Jahve, Bog, zasadi vrt na istoku, u Edenu, i u nj smjesti čovjeka koga je napravio.

⁹ Tada Jahve, Bog, učini te iz zemlje nikoše svakovrsna stabla - pogledu zamamljiva a dobra za hranu - i stablo života, nasred vrta, i stablo spoznaje dobra i zla.

¹⁰ Rijeka je izvirala iz Edena da bi natapala vrt; odatle se granala u četiri kraka.

¹¹ Prvom je ime Pišon, a optječe svom zemljom havilskom, u kojoj ima zlata.

¹² Zlato je te zemlje dobro, a ima ondje i bdelija i oniksa.

¹³ Drugoj je rijeci ime Gihon, a optječe svu zemlju Kuš.

¹⁴ Treća je rijeka Tigris, a teče na istok od Ašura; četvrta je Eufrat.

¹⁵ Jahve, Bog, uzme čovjeka i postavi ga u edenski vrt da ga obrađuje i čuva.

¹⁶ Jahve, Bog, zapovjedi čovjeku: "Sa svakoga stabla u vrtu slobodno jedi,

¹⁷ ali sa stabla spoznaje dobra i zla da nisi jeo! U onaj dan u koji s njega okusiš, zacijelo ćeš umrijeti!"

¹⁸ I reče Jahve, Bog: "Nije dobro da čovjek bude sam: načinit ću mu pomoć kao što je on."

¹⁹ Tada Jahve, Bog, načini od zemlje sve životinje u polju i sve ptice u zraku i predvede ih čovjeku da vidi kako će koju nazvati, pa kako koje stvorenje čovjek prozove, da mu tako bude ime.

²⁰ Čovjek nadjene imena svoj stoci, svim pticama u zraku i životinjama u polju. No čovjeku se ne nađe pomoć kao što je on.

²¹ Tada Jahve, Bog, pusti tvrd san na čovjeka te on zaspa, pa mu izvadi jedno rebro, a mjesto zatvori mesom.

²² Od rebra što ga je uzeo čovjeku napravi Jahve, Bog, ženu pa je dovede čovjeku.

²³ Nato čovjek reče: "Gle, evo kosti od mojih kostiju, mesa od mesa mojega! Ženom neka se zove, od čovjeka kad je uzeta!"

²⁴ Stoga će čovjek ostaviti oca i majku da prione uza svoju ženu i bit će njih dvoje jedno tijelo.

²⁵ A bijahu oboje goli - čovjek i njegova žena - ali ne osjećahu stida.

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.
