Génesis 2
Nueva Biblia Viva

2 De este modo fueron creados los cielos y la tierra, y todo lo que hay en ellos.

2 Después de haber terminado todo lo que se había propuesto hacer, Dios descansó el séptimo día. 3 Y bendijo el séptimo día y lo instituyó como día santo, porque en ese día descansó después de haber creado todo.

4 Aquí termina la historia de la creación del cielo y de la tierra.

Adán y Eva

Cuando Dios el Señor hizo la tierra y el cielo, 5 todavía no había ninguna clase de vegetación en la tierra, porque Dios el Señor aún no había hecho llover. Además, no había quien trabajara la tierra, porque todavía Dios no había hecho al hombre. 6 Sin embargo, de la tierra brotaba agua que regaba el suelo.

7 Entonces Dios el Señor formó el cuerpo del hombre del polvo de la tierra y sopló en su nariz el aliento de vida. Fue así como el hombre se convirtió en un ser vivo.

8 Luego Dios el Señor plantó un jardín en Edén, hacia el oriente, y puso en él al hombre que había creado. 9 Dios el Señor hizo que en el jardín se diera toda clase de árboles hermosos y de frutos deliciosos. En el centro del jardín plantó el árbol de la vida y también el árbol del conocimiento del bien y del mal. 10 De la tierra de Edén salía un río que corría a través del huerto para regarlo. Después el río se dividía en cuatro brazos. 11-12 El primero se llamaba Pisón, el cual recorría toda la región de Javilá, donde había oro de muy buena calidad. También allí había plantas con las que se hacen perfumes muy finos, y piedras de ónice. 13 El segundo se llamaba Guijón, y atravesaba toda la región de Cus. 14 El tercero era el río Tigris, que es el que pasa al oriente de Asiria. Y el cuarto era el río Éufrates.

15 Dios el Señor puso al hombre en el jardín de Edén para que lo labrara y lo cuidara, 16 y a la vez le dio esta orden: «Puedes comer del fruto de todos los árboles que hay en el jardín, 17 pero del árbol del conocimiento del bien y del mal no podrás comer, porque el día que comas del fruto de ese árbol, morirás».

18 Dios el Señor dijo: «No es bueno que el hombre esté solo. Le voy a hacer una compañera que sea de ayuda para él en todas sus necesidades». 19-20 Dios el Señor formó, del polvo de la tierra, todos los animales del campo y todas las aves del cielo. Luego se los llevó al hombre para que este les pusiera nombre. Así que el hombre les puso a todos los animales el nombre con que se conocen en la actualidad. Pero entre todos esos animales no se encontró ninguno que le sirviera al hombre de pareja adecuada.

21 Entonces Dios el Señor hizo que cayera sobre el hombre un sueño profundo, le sacó una costilla y cerró la carne en el lugar de donde la había sacado. 22 Con la costilla hizo a la mujer y se la llevó al hombre. 23 Al verla, el hombre exclamó: «¡Esta sí es hueso de mis huesos y carne de mi carne! Se llamará “mujer”[a] porque fue sacada del hombre».

24 Es por eso que el hombre deja a su padre y a su madre y se casa con su mujer, y los dos llegan a ser como una sola persona.

25 Aunque en ese tiempo el hombre y la mujer estaban desnudos, no se sentían avergonzados.

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.

Genesis 2
New King James Version

The Garden of Eden

2 Thus the heavens and the earth, and (A)all the host of them, were finished. 2 (B)And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God (C)blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

4 (D)This is the [a]history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, 5 before any (E)plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the Lord God had not (F)caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man (G)to till the ground; 6 but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.

7 And the Lord God formed man of the (H)dust of the ground, and (I)breathed into his (J)nostrils the breath of life; and (K)man became a living being.

Life in God’s Garden

8 The Lord God planted (L)a garden (M)eastward in (N)Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. 9 And out of the ground the Lord God made (O)every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. (P)The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and (Q)evil.

10 Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads. 11 The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirts (R)the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good. (S)Bdellium and the onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which goes around the whole land of Cush. 14 The name of the third river is (T)Hiddekel;[b] it is the one which goes toward the east of [c]Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.

15 Then the Lord God took [d]the man and put him in the garden of Eden to [e]tend and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (U)you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it (V)you[f] shall surely (W)die.”

18 And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; (X)I will make him a helper comparable to him.” 19 (Y)Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and (Z)brought them to [g]Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.

21 And the Lord God caused a (AA)deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He [h]made into a woman, (AB)and He (AC)brought her to the man.

23 And Adam said:

“This is now (AD)bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called [i]Woman,
Because she was (AE)taken out of [j]Man.”

24 (AF)Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and (AG)be[k] joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

25 (AH)And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not (AI)ashamed.
