创世记 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
2 天地万物都造好了。 2 第七天,上帝完成了祂的创造之工,就在第七天歇了一切的工。 3 上帝赐福给第七天,将其定为圣日,因为祂在这一天歇了祂一切的创造之工。 4 这是有关创造天地的记载。
上帝造亚当和夏娃
耶和华上帝创造天地的时候, 5 地上还没有草木菜蔬,因为耶和华上帝还没有降雨在地上,土地也没有人耕作, 6 但有水从地里涌出,浇灌大地。 7 耶和华上帝用地上的尘土造了人,把生命的气息吹进他的鼻孔里,他就成了有生命的人。 8 耶和华上帝在东方的伊甸开辟了一个园子,把祂所造的人安置在里面。 9 耶和华上帝使地面长出各种树木,它们既好看又能结出可吃的果子。在园子的中间有生命树和分别善恶的树。
10 有一条河从伊甸流出来灌溉那园子,又从那里分出四条支流。 11 第一条支流叫比逊河,它环绕着哈腓拉全境。那里有金子, 12 且是上好的金子,还有珍珠和红玛瑙。 13 第二条支流是基训河,它环绕着古实全境。 14 第三条支流名叫底格里斯河,它流经亚述的东边。第四条支流是幼发拉底河。
15 耶和华上帝把那人安置在伊甸的园子里,让他在那里耕种、看管园子。 16 耶和华上帝吩咐那人说:“你可以随意吃园中所有树上的果子, 17 只是不可吃那棵分别善恶树的果子,因为你若吃了,当天必死。”
18 耶和华上帝说:“那人独自一人不好,我要为他造一个相配的帮手。” 19 耶和华上帝用尘土造了各种田野的走兽和空中的飞鸟,把它们带到那人跟前,看他怎么称呼这些动物。他叫这些动物什么,它们的名字就是什么。 20 那人给所有的牲畜及田野的走兽和空中的飞鸟都起了名字。可是他找不到一个跟自己相配的帮手。 21 耶和华上帝使那人沉睡,然后从他身上取出一根肋骨,再把肉合起来。 22 耶和华上帝用那根肋骨造成一个女人,带到那人跟前。 23 那人说:
“这才是我的同类,
我骨中的骨,肉中的肉,
要称她为女人,
因为她是从男人身上取出来的。”
24 因此,人要离开父母,与妻子结合,二人成为一体。 25 当时,他们夫妇二人都赤身露体,并不觉得羞耻。
Genesis 2
New International Version
2 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.(A)
2 By the seventh day(B) God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.(C) 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy,(D) because on it he rested(E) from all the work of creating(F) that he had done.
Adam and Eve
4 This is the account(G) of the heavens and the earth when they were created,(H) when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.
5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up,(I) for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth(J) and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams[b] came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. 7 Then the Lord God formed(K) a man[c](L) from the dust(M) of the ground(N) and breathed into his nostrils the breath(O) of life,(P) and the man became a living being.(Q)
8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden;(R) and there he put the man he had formed. 9 The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees(S) that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life(T) and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.(U)
10 A river(V) watering the garden flowed from Eden;(W) from there it was separated into four headwaters. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah,(X) where there is gold. 12 (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin[d](Y) and onyx are also there.) 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush.[e] 14 The name of the third river is the Tigris;(Z) it runs along the east side of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.(AA)
15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden(AB) to work it and take care of it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden;(AC) 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,(AD) for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”(AE)
18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”(AF)
19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals(AG) and all the birds in the sky.(AH) He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called(AI) each living creature,(AJ) that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.
But for Adam[f] no suitable helper(AK) was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep;(AL) and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs[g] and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib[h](AM) he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;(AN)
she shall be called(AO) ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.(AP)”
24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united(AQ) to his wife, and they become one flesh.(AR)
25 Adam and his wife were both naked,(AS) and they felt no shame.

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. 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[d] 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[e] him.” 19 (S)Now out of the ground the Lord God had formed[f] 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[g] 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[h] 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.”[i]
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.
