創世記 2

1 天地萬物都造齊了。 2 到第七日，上帝造物的工已經完畢，就在第七日歇了他一切的工，安息了。 3 上帝賜福給第七日，定為聖日；因為在這日，上帝歇了他一切創造的工，就安息了。

伊甸園

4 創造天地的來歷，在耶和華上帝造天地的日子，乃是這樣， 5 野地還沒有草木，田間的菜蔬還沒有長起來；因為耶和華上帝還沒有降雨在地上，也沒有人耕地， 6 但有霧氣從地上騰，滋潤遍地。 7 耶和華上帝用地上的塵土造人，將生氣吹在他鼻孔裏，他就成了有靈的活人，名叫亞當。 8 耶和華上帝在東方的伊甸立了一個園子，把所造的人安置在那裏。 9 耶和華上帝使各樣的樹從地裏長出來，可以悅人的眼目，其上的果子好作食物。園子當中又有生命樹和分別善惡的樹。

10 有河從伊甸流出來，滋潤那園子，從那裏分為四道： 11 第一道名叫比遜，就是環繞哈腓拉全地的。在那裏有金子， 12 並且那地的金子是好的；在那裏又有珍珠和紅瑪瑙。 13 第二道河名叫基訓，就是環繞古實全地的。 14 第三道河名叫底格里斯，流在亞述的東邊。第四道河就是幼發拉底河。

15 耶和華上帝將那人安置在伊甸園，使他修理，看守。 16 耶和華上帝吩咐他說：「園中各樣樹上的果子，你可以隨意吃， 17 只是分別善惡樹上的果子，你不可吃，因為你吃的日子必定死！」

18 耶和華上帝說：「那人獨居不好，我要為他造一個配偶幫助他。」 19 耶和華上帝用土所造成的野地各樣走獸和空中各樣飛鳥都帶到那人面前，看他叫甚麼。那人怎樣叫各樣的活物，那就是牠的名字。 20 那人便給一切牲畜和空中飛鳥、野地走獸都起了名；只是那人沒有遇見配偶幫助他。 21 耶和華上帝使他沉睡，他就睡了；於是取下他的一條肋骨，又把肉合起來。 22 耶和華上帝就用那人身上所取的肋骨造成一個女人，領她到那人跟前。 23 那人說： 這是我骨中的骨， 肉中的肉， 可以稱她為「女人」， 因為她是從「男人」身上取出來的。

24 因此，人要離開父母，與妻子連合，二人成為一體。 25 當時夫妻二人赤身露體，並不羞恥。

Genesis 2

1 The heavens and the eartht were completed with everything that was in them.t2 Byt the seventh day God finished the work that he had been doing,t and he ceasedt on the seventh day all the work that he had been doing.

3 God blessed the seventh day and made it holyt because on it he ceased all the work that het had been doing in creation.t

The Creation of Man and Woman

4 This is the accountts of the heavens and
the earthts when they were created – when the Lord Gods made the earth and heavens.t
5 Nowt no shrub of the field had yet grown on the earth, and no plant of the fieldt had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.ts6 Springst would well upt from the earth and watert the whole surface of the ground.ts

7 The Lord God formedts the man from the soil of the groundt and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life,ts and the man became a living being.t
8 The Lord God planted an orchardts in the east,ts in Eden;s and there he placed the man he had formed.t

9 The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow from the soil,t every tree that was pleasing to look att and good for food. (Nowt the tree of lifet and the tree of the knowledge of good and evilt were in the middle of the orchard.)

10 Nowt a river flowst from Edens to
water the orchard, and from there it dividest into four headstreams.t11 The name of the first is Pishon; it runs throught the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.12 (The gold of that land is pure;t pearlst and lapis lazulit are also there).13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it runs throught the entire land of Cush.s

14 The name of the third river is Tigris; it runs along the east side of Assyria.t The fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 The Lord God took the man and placedt him in the orchard int Eden to care for it and to maintain it.ts16 Then the Lord God commandeds the man, “You may freely eatt fruitt from every tree of the orchard,

17 butt you must not eatt from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for whent you eat from it you will surely die.”ts
18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone.t I will make a companiont for him who corresponds to him.”t19 The Lord God formedt out of the ground every living animal of the field and every bird of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he wouldt name them, and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.20 So the man named all the animals, the birds of the air, and the living creatures of the field, but for Adamt no companion who corresponded to him was found.t21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep,t and while he was asleep,t he took part of the man’s sidet and closed up the place with flesh.t22 Then the Lord God madet a woman from the part he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

23 Then the man said,
“This one at lastt is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
this one will be calledts ‘woman,’
for she was taken out oft man.”s
24 That is whyt a man leavest his father and mother and unites witht his wife, and they become a new family.t

25 The man and his wife were both naked,ts but they were not ashamed.t
