Indalo ka-Adam noEva
1Agqitywa ke amazulu, nomhlaba, nawo wonke umkhosi okhoyo. 2Wawugqiba ke uThixo ngomhla wesixhenxe umsebenzi wakhe awawenzayo; waphumla ngomhla wesixhenxe kuwo wonke umsebenzi wakhe. 3uThixo uyalusikelela usuku lwesixhenxe aze alungcwalise, kuba waphumla ngalo emva kwawo wonke umsebenzi wokudala awawenzayo. 4Yiyo le ke inzala yamazulu nehlabathi ekudalweni kwezo zinto, neyabantu abasemyezweni, mini wabenzayo uYehova uThixo. 5Yonke imifuno yelizwe engekakhuli emhlabeni, nayo yonke imifuno yelizwe, ingekantshuli, kuba uYehova uThixo ebengekanisi mvula emhlabeni, akwabakho bani ukuwulima umhlaba hayi. 6Kwenyuka inkungu iphuma ehlabathini, yawunyakamisa wonke umhlaba. 7uYehova uThixo wambumba umntu ngothuli lwasemhlabeni, waphefumlela emathatheni akhe impefumlo yobomi; umntu ke waba ngumphefumlo ophilileyo. 8uYehova uThixo watyala umyezo ngasempuma ye-Eden; wahlala apho umntu wamdalayo. 9uYehova uThixo watyala emhlabeni imithi eyahlukahlukeneyo, eneziqhamo ezimnandi nezinencasa, nencasa ekutyeni. Phakathi emyezweni kwakumi umthi wobomi, nomthi wokwazi okulungileyo nokubi. 10Umlambo wawuvela e-Eden ukuba uwunyakamise umyezo; ukusuka apho yahlulwa yazizahluko ezine. 11Igama lowokuqala yiPison; elijikeleze lonke ilizwe lakwaHawila, apho kukho igolide; 12Igolide yelo lizwe intle, kukho nebhalsam nelitye lebherilo. 13Igama lowesibini umlambo yiGihon; ejikeleze lonke ilizwe lakwaKushi. 14Igama lowesithathu umlambo yiHidekele; kwimpuma yeAsiriya. Owesine umlambo ngumEfrati. 15uYehova uThixo wamthabatha umntu, wambeka emyezweni we-Eden, ukuba awutyale, awugcine. 16uYehova uThixo wamwisela umthetho umntu, esithi, Yonke imithi yasendle ungayidla; 17Kodwa uze ungadli kuwo umthi wokwazi okulungileyo nokubi, kuba mhla uthe wadla kuwo uya kufa ngokuqinisekileyo. 18Wathi uYehova uThixo, Akulungile ukuba umntu abe yedwa; ndiya kumenzela umncedi olingana naye. 19Wadala uYehova uThixo emhlabeni zonke izilo, neentaka zonke zezulu; wazisa kuAdam ukubona ukuba wothini na ukuzibiza; nento awayibizayo uAdam indalo nganye, yaba ligama lazo. 20Wazithiya amagama uAdam zonke izinto ezizitho zine, neentaka zonke zezulu, nazo zonke izinto eziphilileyo zomhlaba; ke kuAdam akufunyanwanga mncedi ulingana naye. 21uYehova uThixo wamlalisa ubuthongo umntu, walala; 22uYehova uThixo wamdala umfazi ngethambo awalithabathayo endodeni, wamzisa endodeni. 23Wathi uAdam, Eli ke ngoku lithambo lasemathanjeni am, yinyama yasenyameni yam; ukubizwa kothiwa ngumfazi, ngokuba ethatyathwe endodeni. 24Ngoko ke, indoda iya kumshiya uyise nonina, inamathele emfazini wayo, baze babe nyama-nye. 25Baye bobabini behamba ze, umntu lowo nomkakhe, bengenazintloni.
