Genesi 2

NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Igitur perfecti sunt caeli et terra et omnis exercitus eorum.	1 And so the heavens and the earth were completed, with all their adornment.
2 Complevitque Deus die septimo opus suum, quod fecerat, et requievit die septimo ab universo opere, quod patrarat.	2 And on the seventh day, God fulfilled his work, which he had made. And on the seventh day he rested from all his work, which he had accomplished.
3 Et benedixit Deus diei septimo et sanctificavit illum, quia in ipso requieverat ab omni opere suo, quod creavit Deus, ut faceret.	3 And he blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. For in it, he had ceased from all his work: the work whereby God created whatever he should make.
4 Istae sunt generationes caeli et terrae, quando creata sunt. In die quo fecit Dominus Deus terram et caelum ­	4 These are the generations of heaven and earth, when they were created, in the day when the Lord God made heaven and earth,
5 omne virgultum agri, antequam oriretur in terra, omnisque herba regionis, priusquam germinaret; non enim pluerat Dominus Deus super terram, et homo non erat, qui operaretur humum,	5 and every sapling of the field, before it would rise up in the land, and every wild plant, before it would germinate. For the Lord God had not brought rain upon the earth, and there was no man to work the land.
6 sed fons ascendebat e terra irrigans universam superficiem terrae ­	6 But a fountain ascended from the earth, irrigating the entire surface of the land.
7 tunc formavit Dominus Deus hominem pulverem de humo et inspiravit in nares eius spiraculum vitae, et factus est homo in animam viventem.	7 And then the Lord God formed man from the clay of the earth, and he breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
8 Et plantavit Dominus Deus paradisum in Eden ad orientem, in quo posuit hominem, quem formaverat.	8 Now the Lord God had planted a Paradise of enjoyment from the beginning. In it, he placed the man whom he had formed.
9 Produxitque Dominus Deus de humo omne lignum pulchrum visu et ad vescendum suave, lignum etiam vitae in medio paradisi lignumque scientiae boni et mali.	9 And from the soil the Lord God produced every tree that was beautiful to behold and pleasant to eat. And even the tree of life was in the midst of Paradise, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Et fluvius egrediebatur ex Eden ad irrigandum paradisum, qui inde dividitur in quattuor capita.	10 And a river went forth from the place of enjoyment so as to irrigate Paradise, which is divided from there into four heads.
11 Nomen uni Phison: ipse est, qui circuit omnem terram Hevila, ubi est aurum;	11 The name of one is the Phison; it is that which runs through all the land of Hevilath, where gold is born;
12 et aurum terrae illius optimum est; ibi invenitur bdellium et lapis onychinus.	12 and the gold of that land is the finest. In that place is found bdellium and the onyx stone.
13 Et nomen fluvio secundo Geon: ipse est, qui circuit omnem terram Aethiopiae.	13 And the name of the second river is the Gehon; it is that which runs through all the land of Ethiopia.
14 Nomen vero fluminis tertii Tigris: ipse vadit ad orientem Assyriae. Fluvius autem quartus ipse est Euphrates.	14 Truly, the name of the third river is the Tigris; it advances opposite the Assyrians. But the fourth river, it is the Euphrates.
15 Tulit ergo Dominus Deus hominem et posuit eum in paradiso Eden, ut operaretur et custodiret illum;	15 Thus, the Lord God brought the man, and put him into the Paradise of enjoyment, so that it would be attended and preserved by him.
16 praecepitque Dominus Deus homini dicens: “Ex omni ligno paradisi comede;	16 And he instructed him, saying: “From every tree of Paradise, you shall eat.
17 de ligno autem scientiae boni et mali ne comedas; in quocumque enim die comederis ex eo, morte morieris”.	17 But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat. For in whatever day you will eat from it, you will die a death.”
18 Dixit quoque Dominus Deus: “Non est bonum esse hominem solum; faciam ei adiutorium simile sui”.	18 The Lord God also said: “It is not good for the man to be alone. Let us make a helper for him similar to himself.”
19 Formatis igitur Dominus Deus de humo cunctis animantibus agri et universis volatilibus caeli, adduxit ea ad Adam, ut videret quid vocaret ea; omne enim, quod vocavit Adam animae viventis, ipsum est nomen eius.	19 Therefore, the Lord God, having formed from the soil all the animals of the earth and all the flying creatures of the air, brought them to Adam, in order to see what he would call them. For whatever Adam would call any living creature, that would be its name.
20 Appellavitque Adam nominibus suis cuncta pecora et universa volatilia caeli et omnes bestias agri; Adae vero non inveniebatur adiutor similis eius.	20 And Adam called each of the living things by their names: all the flying creatures of the air, and all the wild beasts of the land. Yet truly, for Adam, there was not found a helper similar to himself.
21 Immisit ergo Dominus Deus soporem in Adam. Cumque obdormisset, tulit unam de costis eius et replevit carnem pro ea;	21 And so the Lord God sent a deep sleep upon Adam. And when he was fast asleep, he took one of his ribs, and he completed it with flesh for it.
22 et aedificavit Dominus Deus costam, quam tulerat de Adam, in mulierem et adduxit eam ad Adam.	22 And the Lord God built up the rib, which he took from Adam, into a woman. And he led her to Adam.
23 Dixitque Adam: “Haec nunc os ex ossibus meis et caro de carne mea! Haec vocabitur Virago, quoniam de viro sumpta est haec”.	23 And Adam said: “Now this is bone from my bones, and flesh from my flesh. This one shall be called woman, because she was taken from man.”
24 Quam ob rem relinquet vir patrem suum et matrem et adhaerebit uxori suae; et erunt in carnem unam.	24 For this reason, a man shall leave behind his father and mother, and he shall cling to his wife; and the two shall be as one flesh.
25 Erant autem uterque nudi, Adam scilicet et uxor eius, et non erubescebant.	25 Now they were both naked: Adam, of course, and his wife. And they were not ashamed.
