UGenesise 2
Indalo u-Adamu no-Eva
1Kwase kupheleliswa izulu nomhlaba kanye nebandla lakho lonke.
2UNkulunkulu waqeda ngosuku lwesikhombisa umsebenzi wakhe abewenzile; waphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa kuwo wonke umsebenzi wakhe abewenzile.
3UNkulunkulu walubusisa usuku lwesikhombisa walungcwelisa, ngoba waphumula ngalo ngemva komsebenzi wonke wendalo ayewenzile.
4Lona-ke umlando wamazulu nomhlaba ekudalweni kwakho nomuntu ensimini ngosuku uJehova uNkulunkulu akwenza ngalo.
5Kanye nazo zonke izimila zasendle zingakabikho emhlabeni, nezitshalo zonke zasendle zingakahlumi, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu akazange anise imvula emhlabeni, futhi kwakungekho muntu wokulima umhlabathi hhayi.
6Kodwa kwenyuka inkungu isuka emhlabeni yanisela bonke ubuso bomhlaba.
7INkosi uNkulunkulu yabumba umuntu ngothuli lomhlaba, yaphefumulela emakhaleni akhe umoya wokuphila; umuntu waba ngumphefumulo ophilayo.
8UJehova uNkulunkulu watshala insimu e-Edene ngasempumalanga; futhi lapho wahlala phansi umuntu ayembumbile.
9UJehova uNkulunkulu wahlumisa emhlabathini imithi eminingi emihle, enezithelo ezimnandi, ezidliwayo. Phakathi nensimu kwakumi umuthi wokuphila kanye nomuthi wokwazi okuhle nokubi.
10Kwaphuma umfula e-Edene wokunisela insimu; kusukela lapho wehlukaniswa waba amakhanda amane.
11Igama lowokuqala yiPishoni; ezungeza izwe lonke laseHawila, lapho kukhona igolide;
12Igolide lalelo zwe lihle: kukhona ibhalsamu netshe leshohamu.
13Igama lomfula wesibili yiGihoni; ezungeza yonke indawo yaseKus.
14Igama lomfula wesithathu yiHidekeli; elihamba ngasempumalanga kwase-Asiriya. Umfula wesine ungu-Ewufrathe.
15UJehova uNkulunkulu wayesemthatha umuntu, wambeka ensimini yase-Edene ukuba ayilime, ayigcine.
16UJehova uNkulunkulu wamyala umuntu, wathi: “Ungadla kuyo yonke imithi yensimu ngokuthanda kwakho.”
17Kodwa ungasidli isithelo somuthi wolwazi lokuhle lokubi, ngoba mhla usidla kuwo uzakufa lokufa.
18INkosi uNkulunkulu yathi: Akukuhle ukuba umuntu ahlale yedwa; Ngizomenzela umsizi ozolingana naye.
19INkosi uNkulunkulu yasibumba ngomhlabathi zonke izilwane zasendle nezinyoni zonke zezulu; futhi waziletha ku-Adamu ukuze abone ukuthi uzoziqamba ngokuthini; nokuthi konke u-Adamu aziqamba ngakho konke okuphilayo, kwaba ngamagama azo.
20U-Adamu waziqamba amagama zonke izinkomo, nezinyoni zonke zezulu, nezilwane zasendle; kepha u-Adamu akafunyanwanga umsizi onjengaye.
21UJehova uNkulunkulu wamehlisela umuntu ubuthongo obunzima, walala;
22Ngobambo uJehova uNkulunkulu aluthatha kumuntu, wenza owesifazana, wamletha kumuntu.
23Wayesethi u-Adamu: “Lo useyithambo lamathambo ami nenyama yenyama yami; uyakubizwa ngokuthi iNdodakazi, ngokuba uthathwe endodeni.”
24Ngakho indoda izatshiya uyise lonina inamathele kumkayo, njalo bazakuba nyamanye.
25Babenqunu bobabili, umuntu nomkakhe, bengenamahloni.
