1 N a ka oti te rangi me te whenua me o reira mano katoa.

Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts.

2 A no te whitu o nga ra i oti ai i te Atua tana mahi i mahi ai; na ka okioki ia i te ra whitu i ana mahi katoa i mahia e ia.

By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.

3 N a ka whakapaingia e te Atua te ra whitu, whakatapua ana hoki e ia: mona i okioki i taua ra i ana mahi katoa i oti i te Atua te hanga.

Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

4 K o nga whakatupuranga enei o te rangi, o te whenua, i te hanganga ai, i te ra i hanga ai e Ihowa, e te Atua, te whenua me te rangi.

This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven.

5 K ahore ano hoki tetahi rakau riki o te parae i te whenua, kahore ano tetahi otaota o te parae kia pihi noa: kahore hoki a Ihowa, te Atua, i mea kia ua ki te whenua, a kahore rawa he tangata hei mahi i te oneone;

Now no shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.

6 E ngari i pupu ake he kohu i te whenua, na reira i whakamakuku te mata katoa o te oneone.

But a mist used to rise from the earth and water the whole surface of the ground.

7 N a ka whakaahuatia te tangata e Ihowa, e te Atua, he puehu no te oneone, a whakahangia ana e ia ki roto ki ona pongaihu te manawa ora; a ka wairua ora te tangata.

Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

8 N a ka whakatokia e Ihowa, e te Atua, tetahi kari ki te taha ki te rawhiti, ki Erene; a whakanohoia iho e ia ki reira te tangata i hanga e ia.

The Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed.

9 A i whakatupuria e Ihowa, e te Atua, i roto i te oneone nga rakau katoa he mea ahuareka ki te titiro, he pai hoki hei kai; ko te rakau hoki o te ora ki waenganui o te kari, me te rakau o te matauranga ki te pai, ki te kino.

Out of the ground the Lord God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

10 I rere mai ano he awa i Erene hei whakamakuku i te kari; a i reira ka manganga e wha nga tino awa.

Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers.

11 K o te ingoa o te tuatahi ko Pihona; ko ia tera e taiawhio ra i te whenua katoa o Hawira, he koura kei reira;

The name of the first is Pishon; it flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.

12 H e pai hoki te koura o taua whenua: kei reira te teriuma me te kohatu onika.

The gold of that land is good; the bdellium and the onyx stone are there.

13 K o te ingoa o te rua o nga awa ko Kihona: ko ia tera e taiawhio ra i te whenua katoa o Etiopia.

The name of the second river is Gihon; it flows around the whole land of Cush.

14 K o te ingoa o te toru o nga awa ko Hirekere; ko te mea tera e rere ra i mua o Ahiria. Ko Uparati te wha o nga awa.

The name of the third river is Tigris; it flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

15 N a ka tango a Ihowa, te Atua, i te tangata, a whakanohoia ana e ia ki te kari o Erene, hei ngaki, hei tiaki hoki reira.

Then the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it.

16 N a ka ako a Ihowa, te Atua, ki te tangata, ka mea, E pai ana kia kai noa atu koe i nga hua o nga rakau katoa o te kari:

The Lord God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely;

17 K o te rakau ia o te matauranga ki te pai, ki te kino, kaua e kainga tetahi o ona hua; ko te ra e kai ai koe i tetahi o ona hua, ka mate koe, mate rawa.

but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.”

18 N a ka mea a Ihowa, te Atua, E kore e pai kia noho te tangata ko ia anake; me hanga e ahau tetahi hoa pai mona.

Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.”

19 N a he mea whakaahua mai na Ihowa, na te Atua, i roto i te oneone nga kirehe katoa o te parae, me nga manu katoa o te rangi; a kawea mai ana e ia ki a Arama, kia kitea ai te ingoa e huaina e ia ki a ratou: a ko a Arama i hua ai ki nga mea ora kat oa, hei ingoa era mo ratou.

Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.

20 N a ka huaina e Arama he ingoa mo nga kararehe katoa, mo nga manu o te rangi, mo nga kirehe katoa hoki o te parae; ko Arama ia kahore i kitea tetahi hoa pai mona.

The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.

21 N a ka mea a Ihowa, te Atua, kia parangia a Arama e te moe, a moe ana ia: na tangohia ana e ia tetahi o ona rara, a whakatutakina atu ana te kikokiko hei whakakapi mo reira;

So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place.

22 N a ka hanga a Ihowa, te Atua, i te rara i tangohia mai ra e ia i roto i a Arama hei wahine, a kawea ana e ia ki a Arama.

The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.

23 A ka mea a Arama, Katahi ano ki tenei te wheua o roto o oku wheua, me te kikokiko o roto o oku kikokiko: me hua ia ko te Wahine, nona hoki i tangohia mai i roto i te Tangata.

The man said, “ This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.”

24 N o konei te tangata ka whakarere i tona papa me tona whaea, a ka piri ki tana wahine: a hei kikokiko kotahi raua.

For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

25 A e tu tahanga ana raua tokorua, te tangata me tana wahine, kihai hoki i whakama.

And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
