Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 conplevitque Deus die septimo opus suum quod fecerat et requievit die septimo ab universo opere quod patrarat
2
And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done.
3 et benedixit diei septimo et sanctificavit illum quia in ipso cessaverat ab omni opere suo quod creavit Deus ut faceret

So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.

5 et omne virgultum agri antequam oreretur in terra omnemque herbam regionis priusquam germinaret non enim pluerat Dominus Deus super terram et homo non erat qui operaretur terram
5
When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up--for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground,
6 sed fons ascendebat e terra inrigans universam superficiem terrae
6
and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground--
7 formavit igitur Dominus Deus hominem de limo terrae et inspiravit in faciem eius spiraculum vitae et factus est homo in animam viventem
7
then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.

And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.

9
And out of the ground the LORD God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 et fluvius egrediebatur de loco voluptatis ad inrigandum paradisum qui inde dividitur in quattuor capita
10
A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers.
11 nomen uni Phison ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Evilat ubi nascitur aurum

15 tulit ergo Dominus Deus hominem et posuit eum in paradiso voluptatis ut operaretur et custodiret illum
15
The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.
16 praecepitque ei dicens ex omni ligno paradisi comede
16
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "You may surely eat of every tree of the garden,
17 de ligno autem scientiae boni et mali ne comedas in quocumque enim die comederis ex eo morte morieris
17
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die."
18 dixit quoque Dominus Deus non est bonum esse hominem solum faciamus ei adiutorium similem sui
18
Then the LORD God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him."
19 formatis igitur Dominus Deus de humo cunctis animantibus terrae 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
Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.
20 appellavitque Adam nominibus suis cuncta animantia et universa volatilia caeli et omnes bestias terrae Adam vero non inveniebatur adiutor similis eius
20
The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him.

22
And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.
23 dixitque Adam hoc nunc os ex ossibus meis et caro de carne mea haec vocabitur virago quoniam de viro sumpta est
23
Then the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."
24 quam ob rem relinquet homo patrem suum et matrem et adherebit uxori suae et erunt duo in carne una
