1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. 6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. 14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. 15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
1 这样, 天地万物都造齐了。
2 第七日, 神完成了他所作的工; 在第七日 神歇了他所作的一切工。
3 神赐福第七日, 把它分别为圣, 因为在这一日, 神停了他一切所创造的工, 歇息了。
4 这是创造天地的起源: 耶和华 神造天地的时候,
5 原野上还没有树木, 田间的蔬菜还没有长起来, 因为耶和华 神还没有降雨在地上, 也没有人耕种土地;
6 不过有雾气从地面上升, 滋润全地。
7 耶和华 神用地上的尘土造成人形, 把生气吹进他的鼻孔里, 那人就成了有生命的活人, 名叫亚当。
8 耶和华 神在东方的伊甸, 栽了一个园子, 把他所造的人放在那里。
9 耶和华 神使各样的树从地上长起来, 能悦人的眼目, 也好作食物。园子中间又有生命树, 和知善恶树。
10 有一条河从伊甸流出来, 灌溉那园子; 从那里分支, 成了四道河的源头。
11 第一道河名叫比逊, 就是环绕哈腓拉全地的, 在那里有金子;
12 那地的金子是好的; 在那里也有红玉和玛瑙。
13 第二道河名叫基训, 就是环绕古实全地的。
14 第三道河名叫底格里斯河("底格里斯河"原文作"希底结"), 就是流向亚述东边的。第四道河就是幼发拉底河("幼发拉底河"原文作"伯拉河")。
15 耶和华 神把那人安置在伊甸园里, 叫他耕种和看守那园子。
16 耶和华 神吩咐那人说: "园中各样树上的果子, 你都可以吃;
17 只是那知善恶树的果子, 你不可吃; 因为你吃的时候, 你必要死。"
18 耶和华 神说: "那人独居不好, 我要为他造个和他相配的帮手。"
19 耶和华 神用泥土造了野地的各样野兽, 和空中的各样飞鸟, 把它们都带到那人面前, 看他给它们叫什么名字; 那人怎样叫各样有生命的活物, 那就是它的名字。
20 那人就给各样牲畜、空中的雀鸟, 和野地的各样走兽起了名字; 只是那人没有遇见一个和他相配的帮手。
21 耶和华 神使那人沉睡。他熟睡的时候, 耶和华 神取了他的一根肋骨, 又使肉在原处复合。
22 然后, 耶和华 神用从那人身上所取的肋骨, 造了一个女人, 带她到那人面前。
23 那人说: "这是我骨中的骨, 肉中的肉; 她当称为女人, 因她是从男人身上取出来的。"
24 因此人要离开父母, 和妻子连合, 二人成为一体。
25 那时, 夫妻二人赤身露体, 彼此都不觉得羞耻。
