Genesis 2
Magandang Balita Biblia
2 Nilikha nga ng Diyos ang langit at ang lupa at ang lahat ng bagay na naroroon. 2 Tinapos(A) (B) niyang likhain ang lahat ng ito sa loob ng anim na araw, at siya'y nagpahinga sa ikapitong araw. 3 Pinagpala niya ang ikapitong araw at itinuring itong banal, sapagkat sa araw na ito siya nagpahinga matapos likhain ang lahat. 4 Ganito ang pagkalikha sa langit at sa lupa.
Ang Halamanan ng Eden
Nang likhain ng Panginoong Yahweh ang lupa at lahat ng bagay sa langit, 5 wala pang anumang halaman o pananim sa lupa, sapagkat hindi pa nagpapaulan noon ang Panginoong Yahweh, at wala pa ring nagsasaka. 6 Ngunit mayroon nang bukal ng tubig na dumidilig sa kapatagan sa lupa.[a]
7 Pagkatapos,(C) ginawa ng Panginoong Yahweh ang tao[b] mula sa alabok, hiningahan niya sa ilong, at nagkaroon ito ng buhay.
8 Gumawa ang Panginoong Yahweh ng isang halamanan sa Eden, sa dakong silangan, at doon dinala ang taong kanyang nilalang. 9 Pinatubo(D) niya roon ang lahat ng uri ng punongkahoy na magagandang pagmasdan at masasarap ang bunga. Sa gitna ng halamanan ay naroon ang punongkahoy na nagbibigay-buhay, at gayundin ang punongkahoy na nagbibigay-kaalaman tungkol sa mabuti at masama.
10 Umaagos noon mula sa Eden ang isang ilog na dumidilig sa halamanan. Paglabas doon, ito'y nahahati sa apat na sanga. 11 Ang una na kung tawagi'y Ilog Pishon ay umaagos sa lupain ng Havila. 12 Lantay ang ginto roon at marami ring bedelio at batong onise. 13 Ang ikalawang sanga ng ilog na tinawag namang Gihon ay umaagos sa lupain ng Etiopia.[c] 14 Ilog Tigris naman ang tawag sa ikatlong sanga, at umaagos naman ito sa silangan ng Asiria. Ang ikaapat na sanga ng ilog ay ang Eufrates.
15 Inilagay ng Panginoong Yahweh ang tao sa halamanan ng Eden upang ito'y pagyamanin at pangalagaan. 16 Sinabi niya sa tao, “Makakain mo ang alinmang bungangkahoy sa halamanan, 17 maliban sa bunga ng punongkahoy na nagbibigay ng kaalaman tungkol sa mabuti at masama. Huwag na huwag mong kakainin ang bungang iyon, sapagkat sa araw na kainin mo iyon ay mamamatay ka.”
18 Matapos gawin ang lahat ng ito, sinabi ng Panginoong Yahweh, “Hindi mabuti na mag-isa ang tao; bibigyan ko siya ng isang angkop na makakasama at makakatulong.” 19 Kaya, mula sa lupa ay lumikha ang Panginoong Yahweh ng mga hayop sa parang at mga ibon sa himpapawid, dinala niya ang mga ito sa tao upang ipaubaya rito ang pagbibigay ng pangalan sa mga iyon. Kung ano ang kanyang itinawag, iyon ang naging pangalan ng mga ito. 20 Ang tao nga ang nagbigay ng pangalan sa lahat ng ibon sa himpapawid at hayop sa parang. Ngunit wala isa man sa mga ito ang nababagay na makasama at makatulong niya.
21 Kaya't pinatulog ng Panginoong Yahweh ang tao. Samantalang nahihimbing, kinuha niya ang isang tadyang nito at pinaghilom ang laman sa tapat niyon. 22 Ang tadyang na iyo'y ginawa niyang isang babae, at dinala niya ito sa lalaki. 23 Sinabi ng lalaki,
“Sa wakas, narito ang isang tulad ko,
laman ng aking laman, buto ng aking buto;
babae ang itatawag sa kanya, sapagkat sa lalaki[d] siya'y kinuha.”
24 Ito(E) ang dahilan kaya iniiwan ng lalaki ang kanyang ama't ina, nagsasama sila ng kanyang asawa, at sila'y nagiging isa. 25 Kapwa hubad noon ang lalaki at ang babae, ngunit hindi sila nahihiya.

Genesis 2
English Standard Version
The Seventh Day, God Rests
2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and (A)all the host of them. 2 And (B)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 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.
The Creation of Man and Woman
4 (C)These are the generations
of the heavens and the earth when they were created,
in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.
5 When no (D)bush of the field[a] was yet in the land[b] 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 (E)to work the ground, 6 and a mist[c] was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground— 7 then the Lord God formed the man of (F)dust from the ground and (G)breathed into his (H)nostrils the breath of life, and (I)the man became a living creature. 8 And the Lord God planted a (J)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. (K)The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, (L)and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of (M)Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is the (N)Tigris, which flows east of Assyria.[d] And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 The Lord God took the man (O)and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (P)you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat[e] of it you (Q)shall surely die.”
18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; (R)I will make him a helper fit for[f] him.” 19 (S)Now out of the ground the Lord God had formed[g] every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and (T)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 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam[h] there was not found a helper fit for him. 21 So the Lord God caused a (U)deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made[i] into a woman and brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said,
“This at last is (V)bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called Woman,
because she was (W)taken out of Man.”[j]
24 (X)Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
