Genesi 2:1-25
2 Natenepa, kudzulu, dziko yapantsi na pinthu pyonsene piri mwenemu pyamala kucitwa.+
2 Mbidzati kufika ntsiku yacinomwe, Mulungu akhadamalisa basa yace,* mbatoma kupuma pa ntsiku yacinomwe pakumala kuphata basa+ yace yonsene.
3 Mulungu apasa nkhombo ntsiku yacinomwe mbaicitisa kukhala yakucena, thangwi kutomera pa ntsiku ineyi, Mulungu akupuma pakumala kucita pinthu pyonsene mwakubverana na pinafuna iye.*
4 Izi ndi mphangwa zinapangiza kuti kudzulu na dziko yapantsi pyacitwa tani, pa ntsiku yakuti Yahova* Mulungu acita kudzulu na dziko yapantsi.+
5 Pa dziko yapantsi pakhadzati kumera mathendere nee tsanga, thangwi Yahova Mulungu akhadzati kubvumbisa madzi pa dziko yapantsi, pontho nee pakhali na munthu toera kulima mataka.
6 Mbwenye ikhaoneka nkhungwi pa dziko yapantsi mbitotesa mataka onsene.
7 Yahova Mulungu acita munthu kubulukira ku pfumbi+ ya mataka, mbapepesa mphuno mwace muya waumaso,+ natenepa iye adzakhala munthu wa umaso.+
8 Kusiyapo pyenepi, Yahova Mulungu akhunganya munda wa Edheni+ kumabulukiro a dzuwa; mbaikha mwenemu munthu adamala iye kucita.+
9 Buluka penepo, Yahova Mulungu ameresa pa mataka mitundu yonsene ya miti yakubalika na yadidi toera kudya, ameresambo pakati pa munda muti wakupasa umaso,+ pabodzi na muti unacitisa kudziwa cadidi na cakuipa.+
10 Ukhalipo nkulo udabalwa mu Edheni toera kuthirira munda unoyu. Bulukira penepo nkulo unoyu wagawika, mbukhala mikulo minai.*
11 Dzina ya nkulo wakutoma ndi Pisoni; ndiwo unazungulira dziko yonsene ya Avila, yakuti iri na ouro.
12 Ouro ya dziko ineyi ndi yadidi. Kweneko kusagumanikambo Bhidhelyo na mwala wa ntengo ukulu unacemerwa Oniksi.
13 Dzina ya nkulo waciwiri ndi Jioni; ndiwo unazungulira dziko yonsene ya Kusi.
14 Dzina ya nkulo wacitatu ndi Idhekeli;*+ ndiwo unaenda kumabulukiro a dzuwa a dziko ya Asirya.+ Nkulo wacinai ndi Eufrate.+
15 Yahova Mulungu akwata munthu unoyu mbamuikha mʼmunda wa Edheni, toera aulime na kuutsalakana.+
16 Yahova Mulungu aperekambo ntemo uyu kuna munthu unoyu: “Unakwanisa kudya+ misapo ya miti yonsene inagumanika mʼmunda.
17 Mbwenye leka kudya nsapo wa muti unacitisa kudziwa cadidi na cakuipa, thangwi pa ntsiku inaudya iwe, mwandimomwene unadzafa.”+
18 Penepo Yahova Mulungu alonga: “Si pyadidi tayu kuti mamuna apitirize kukhala ekhene. Ndinancitira nyakumʼphedza toera akhale ndzace wakuthema kuna iye.”+
19 Yahova Mulungu akhadamala kucita pinyama pyonsene pya ntsanga na pinyama pyonsene pinamburuka kudzulu. Iye apiendesa kuna mamuna toera aone kuti mbadacemera tani cibodzi na cibodzi; pontho dzina ikhathula iye cinyama cibodzi na cibodzi, yadzakhala dzina+ ya cinyama ceneci.
20 Natenepa, mamuna apasa madzina pinyama pyonsene pya mʼmudzi,* pinyama pinamburuka kudzulu na pinyama pyonsene pya ntsanga, mbwenye mamuna nee akhali na nyakumʼphedza ninga ndzace wakuthema.
21 Natenepa, Yahova Mulungu acitisa mamuna kugona citulo cikulu kakamwe. Pikhagona iye, Mulungu amʼbulusa mbabvu ibodzi, buluka penepo afunga pa mbuto idabulusa iye mbabvu.
22 Na mbabvu idabulusa iye mwa mamuna, Yahova Mulungu acita nkazi mbamʼbweresa kuna mamuna.+
23 Penepo mamuna alonga:
“Uyu ndi gogodo ya magogodo angaNa nyama ya nyama yanga.
Iye anadzacemerwa nkazi,Thangwi iye abuluswa+ mwa mamuna.”
24 Na thangwi ineyi, mamuna anadzasiya babace na mai wace mbaphatana* na nkazace, pontho uwiri wawo anadzakhala manungo+ mabodzi basi.
25 Pontho uwiri wawo akhapitiriza kukhala cipezipezi,+ mamuna na nkazace; mbwenye iwo nee akhali na manyadzo.
