1 So the heavens and the earth and everything else were created.
The Seventh Day
2 By the seventh day God had finished his work, and so he rested. 3 God blessed the seventh day and made it special, because on that day he rested from his work.
4 That's how God created the heavens and the earth.
The Garden of Eden
When the Lord God made the heavens and the earth, 5 no grass or plants were growing anywhere. God had not yet sent any rain, and there was no one to work the land. 6 But streams came up from the ground and watered the earth.
7 The Lord God took some soil from the ground and made a man. God breathed life into the man, and the man started breathing. 8 The Lord made a garden in a place called Eden, which was in the east, and he put the man there.
9 The Lord God filled the garden with all kinds of beautiful trees and fruit trees. Two other trees were in the middle of the garden. One of these gave life—the other gave the wisdom to know the difference between right and wrong.
10 From Eden a river flowed out to water the garden, then it divided into four rivers. 11 The first one is the Pishon River that flows through the land of Havilah, 12 where pure gold, rare perfumes, and precious stones are found. 13 The second is the Gihon River that winds through Ethiopia. 14 The Tigris River that flows east of Assyria is the third, and the fourth is the Euphrates River.
15 The Lord God put the man in the Garden of Eden to take care of it and to look after it. 16 But the Lord told him, “You may eat fruit from any tree in the garden, 17 except the one that has the power to let you know the difference between right and wrong. If you eat any fruit from that tree, you will die before the day is over!”
18 The Lord God said, “It isn't good for the man to live alone. I will make a suitable partner for him.” 19-20 So the Lord took some soil and made animals and birds. He brought them to the man to see what names he would give each of them. Then the man named the tame animals and the birds and the wild animals. That's how they got their names.
None of these was the right kind of partner for the man. 21 So the Lord God made him fall into a deep sleep, and he took out one of the man's ribs. Then after closing the man's side, 22 the Lord made a woman out of the rib.
The Lord God brought her to the man, 23 and the man exclaimed,

“Here is someone like me!
She is part of my body,
my own flesh and bones.
She came from me, a man.
So I will name her Woman!”

24 That's why a man will leave his own father and mother. He marries a woman, and the two of them become like one person.
25 Although the man and his wife were both naked, they were not ashamed.
1 فتَمَّ خَلْقُ السَّماواتِ والأرضِ وجميعِ ما فيها. 2 وفرَغَ اللهُ في اليومِ السَّابعِ مِنْ عمَلِه الذي عَمِلَ، وا‏ستراحَ في اليومِ السَّابعِ مِنْ جميعِ ما عَمِلَه. 3 وباركَ اللهُ اليومَ السَّابعَ وقدَّسَه، لأنَّه ا‏ستراحَ فيهِ مِنْ جميعِ ما عمِلَ كَخالقٍ‌.
4 هكذا كانَ مَنشأُ السَّماواتِ والأرضِ حِينَ خُلِقَت.
جنة عدن
يومَ صنَعَ الرّبُّ الإلهُ الأرضَ والسَّماواتِ، 5 لا شجَرُ البرِّيَّةِ كان بَعدُ في الأرضِ، ولا عُشْبُ البرِّيَّةِ نَبَتَ بَعدُ. فلا كانَ الرّبُّ الإلهُ أمطرَ على الأرضِ، ولا كانَ إنسانٌ يَفلَحُ الأرضَ، 6 بل كانَ يصعَدُ مِنها ماءٌ يَسقي وجهَ التُرْبَةِ كُلَّه. 7 وجبَلَ الرّبُّ الإلهُ آدَمَ تُرابا مِنَ الأرضِ ونفَخَ في أنْفِه نَسَمَةَ حياةٍ. فصارَ آدمُ نفْسا حيَّةً.
8 وغرَسَ الرّبُّ الإلهُ جَنَّةً في عَدْنٍ شَرقا، وأسكنَ هُناكَ آدمَ الذي جبَلَهُ. 9 وأنبتَ الرّبُّ الإلهُ مِنَ الأرضِ كُلَّ شجَرَةٍ حسَنَةِ المَنظَرِ، طيِّبةِ المأكَلِ، وكانَت شجَرةُ الحياةِ‌ وشجَرةُ معرِفَةِ الخيرِ والشَّرِّ في وسَطِ الجَنَّةِ. 10 وكانَ يخرُجُ مِنْ عَدْنٍ نهرٌ فيَسقي الجَنَّةَ، ويتَشَعَّبُ مِنْ هُناكَ فيصيرُ أربعةَ أنهارٍ، 11 أحَدُها ا‏سْمُه فيشُونُ، ويُحيطُ بِـجميعِ أرضِ الحَوِيلَةِ حَيثُ الذَّهَبُ، 12 وذهَبُ تِلكَ الأرضِ جَيِّدٌ. وهُناكَ اللؤلُؤُ وحجَرُ العقيقِ. 13 وا‏سمُ النَّهرِ الثَّاني جيحُونُ، ويُحيطُ بِـجميعِ أرضِ كوشٍ‌ 14 وا‏سمُ النَّهرِ الثَّالثِ دِجلَةُ، ويجري في شَرقي أشُّورَ. والنَّهرُ الرَّابعُ هوَ الفُراتُ.
15 وأخذَ الرّبُّ الإلهُ آدمَ وأسكنَهُ في جَنَّةِ عَدْنٍ لِـيَفلَحَها ويَحرُسَها. 16 وأوصى الرّبُّ الإلهُ آدمَ قالَ: «مِنْ جميعِ شجَرِ الجَنَّةِ تأكُلُ، 17 وأمَّا شجَرَةُ معرِفَةِ الخيرِ والشَّرِّ فلا تأكُلْ مِنها. فيومَ تأكُلُ مِنها موتا تموتُ».
18 وقالَ الرّبُّ الإلهُ: «لا يَحسُنُ أنْ يكونَ آدمُ وحدَهُ، فأَصنعُ لَه مَثيلا يُعينُه». 19 فجَبلَ الرّبُّ الإلهُ مِنَ الأرضِ جميعَ حيواناتِ البرِّيَّةِ وجميعَ طَيرِ السَّماءِ، وجاءَ بِها إلى آدمَ لِـيرى ماذا يُسَمِّيها، فيحمِلَ كُلٌّ مِنها الإسمَ الّذي يُسمِّيها بهِ. 20 فسمَّى آدمُ جميعَ البَهائمِ وطيورَ السَّماءِ وجميعَ حيواناتِ البرِّيَّةِ بأسماءٍ، ولكِنَّهُ لم يَجِدْ بَينَها مثيلا لَه يُعينُهُ. 21 فأوقَعَ الرّبُّ الإلهُ آدمَ في نَومٍ عميقٍ، وفيما هوَ نائِمٌ أخذَ إحدى أضلاعِهِ وسَدَّ مكانَها بِلَحْمٍ. 22 وبنى الرّبُّ الإلهُ ا‏مْرأةً مِنَ الضِّلعِ التي أخذَها مِنْ آدمَ، فجاءَ بِها إلى آدمَ. 23 فقالَ آدمُ:
«هذِهِ الآنَ عَظْمٌ مِنْ عِظامي
ولَحمٌ مِنْ لَحمي
هذِهِ تُسَمَّى ا‏مرأةً‌
فهيَ مِنْ ا‏مرِئٍ أُخِذَت».
24 ولِذلِكَ يترُكُ الرَّجُلُ أباهُ وأُمَّهُ ويتَّحِدُ با‏مرأتِهِ، فيصيرانِ جسَدا واحدا‌.
25 وكانَ آدمُ وا‏مرأتُه كِلاهُما عُريانَينِ، وهُما لا يَخجَلانِ.
