UGenesise 2 Indalo u-Adamu no-Eva

¹ Kwase kupheleliswa izulu nomhlaba kanye nebandla lakho lonke.

² UNkulunkulu waqeda ngosuku lwesikhombisa umsebenzi wakhe abewenzile; waphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa kuwo wonke umsebenzi wakhe abewenzile.

³ UNkulunkulu walubusisa usuku lwesikhombisa walungcwelisa, ngoba waphumula ngalo ngemva komsebenzi wonke wendalo ayewenzile.

⁴ Lona-ke umlando wamazulu nomhlaba ekudalweni kwakho nomuntu ensimini ngosuku uJehova uNkulunkulu akwenza ngalo.

⁵ Kanye nazo zonke izimila zasendle zingakabikho emhlabeni, nezitshalo zonke zasendle zingakahlumi, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu akazange anise imvula emhlabeni, futhi kwakungekho muntu wokulima umhlabathi hhayi.

⁶ Kodwa kwenyuka inkungu isuka emhlabeni yanisela bonke ubuso bomhlaba.

⁷ INkosi uNkulunkulu yabumba umuntu ngothuli lomhlaba, yaphefumulela emakhaleni akhe umoya wokuphila; umuntu waba ngumphefumulo ophilayo.

⁸ UJehova uNkulunkulu watshala insimu e-Edene ngasempumalanga; futhi lapho wahlala phansi umuntu ayembumbile.

⁹ UJehova uNkulunkulu wahlumisa emhlabathini imithi eminingi emihle, enezithelo ezimnandi, ezidliwayo. Phakathi nensimu kwakumi umuthi wokuphila kanye nomuthi wokwazi okuhle nokubi.

¹⁰ Kwaphuma umfula e-Edene wokunisela insimu; kusukela lapho wehlukaniswa waba amakhanda amane.

¹¹ Igama lowokuqala yiPishoni; ezungeza izwe lonke laseHawila, lapho kukhona igolide;

¹² Igolide lalelo zwe lihle: kukhona ibhalsamu netshe leshohamu.

¹³ Igama lomfula wesibili yiGihoni; ezungeza yonke indawo yaseKus.

¹⁴ Igama lomfula wesithathu yiHidekeli; elihamba ngasempumalanga kwase-Asiriya. Umfula wesine ungu-Ewufrathe.

¹⁵ UJehova uNkulunkulu wayesemthatha umuntu, wambeka ensimini yase-Edene ukuba ayilime, ayigcine.

¹⁶ UJehova uNkulunkulu wamyala umuntu, wathi: “Ungadla kuyo yonke imithi yensimu ngokuthanda kwakho.”

¹⁷ Kodwa ungasidli isithelo somuthi wolwazi lokuhle lokubi, ngoba mhla usidla kuwo uzakufa lokufa.

¹⁸ INkosi uNkulunkulu yathi: Akukuhle ukuba umuntu ahlale yedwa; Ngizomenzela umsizi ozolingana naye.

¹⁹ INkosi 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.

²⁰ U-Adamu waziqamba amagama zonke izinkomo, nezinyoni zonke zezulu, nezilwane zasendle; kepha u-Adamu akafunyanwanga umsizi onjengaye.

²¹ UJehova uNkulunkulu wamehlisela umuntu ubuthongo obunzima, walala;

²² Ngobambo uJehova uNkulunkulu aluthatha kumuntu, wenza owesifazana, wamletha kumuntu.

²³ Wayesethi u-Adamu: “Lo useyithambo lamathambo ami nenyama yenyama yami; uyakubizwa ngokuthi iNdodakazi, ngokuba uthathwe endodeni.”

²⁴ Ngakho indoda izatshiya uyise lonina inamathele kumkayo, njalo bazakuba nyamanye.

²⁵ Babenqunu bobabili, umuntu nomkakhe, bengenamahloni.
