1Yeke kwapheleliswa izulu nephasi kanye nendalo yoke.
2Ngelanga lekhomba uZimu gade asele aqedile umsebenzakhe. Ngelanga lekhomba waphumula kiwo woke umsebenzakhe. 3Yeke uZimu wabusisa ilanga lekhomba bewalicwengisa ngombana kwaba lilanga aphumula ngalo kiwo woke umsebenzi wokudala.
Isivande se-Edeni
4Nasi indaba yezulu nephasi: Lokha uSomnini uZimu nakenza iphasi nezulu, 5bekunganamsesana emmangweni begodu kunganasimila esele similile ehlabathini ngombana uSomnini uZimu gade angakanisi izulu ephasini. Begodu gade kunganamuntu ongalima ihlabathi. 6Kodwana kwenyuka ikungu phasi yaswakamisa ihlabathi.
7Yeke uSomnini uZimu wabumba umuntu ngethuli lehlabathi, waphefumulela eempumulweni zakhe umphefumulo wokuphila. Ngaleyondlela umuntu waba nokuphila.
8USomnini uZimu gade ahlome isivande e-Edeni ngepumalanga; wathatha umuntu agade ambumbile wambeka lapho. 9Yeke uSomnini uZimu wamilisa yoke imihlobo yemithi eganukejako nelungele ukudliwa. Kwathi phakathi kwesivandeso wamilisa umuthi wokuphila nomuthi wokwazi koke.
10Kwavinyilika umlambo e-Edeni wathelelela isivande; ukusukela lapho umlambo lo wahlukana waba maphakgha amane. 11Ibizo lephakgha lokuthoma yiPitjhoni; lona ligeleza libhoduluke inarha yeRhavila lapha kunegolide khona. 12Igolide lenarha leyo lihle khulu kunoburegu obunuka kamnandi nelitje le-oniksi. 13Ibizo lephakgha lesibili yiGirhoni; lona ligeleza libhoduluke yoke inarha yeKutjhe. 14Ibizo lephakgha lesithathu yiThigrisi; lona ligeleza magegana nepumalanga ye-Asiriya. Bese kuthi lesine kube yiYufrathe.
15Kwathi lokha uSomnini uZimu nathatha umuntu ambeka esivandeni se-Edeni bona asisebenze abe asitjheje, 16wamyala wathi: “Ungazidlela ngokuthanda kwakho nanyana ngimuphi umuthi osesivandeni, 17kodwana ungawudli umuthi wokwazi koke ngombana mhlana uwudlako uzokufa kokufa.”
18USomnini uZimu wathi: “Akusikuhle bona umuntu ahlale yedwa. Yeke ngizomenzela umsizi omfaneleko.”
19Nje-ke uSomnini uZimu wabumba ngehlabathi zoke iinlwana zommango neenyoni zoke zomkayi. Waziletha emuntwini ukuze abone bonyana uzithiya amabizo athini. Lokho umuntu agade azakuthiya isilwana ngakho, bekuzakuba libizo laso. 20Yeke umuntu wathiya yoke ifuyo, zoke iinyoni zomkayi neenlwana zoke zommango amabizo. Kodwana umuntu akhange azifunyanele umsizi omfaneleko kizo.
21Nje-ke uSomnini uZimu wenza umuntu bona alale ubuthongo obukhulu. Kwathi asalele njalo, uZimu wakhupha linye leembambo zomuntu wabese uvala itjhubelo ngenyama. 22Yeke uSomnini uZimu wabumba umuntu wengubo ngembambo ayithatha emuntwini wembaji, wamthatha wamusa emuntwini wembaji loyo.
23Umuntu wembaji wathi:
“Lo, lithambo lamathambami
nenyama yenyamami!
Uzakubizwa bona mfazi
ngombana uthethwe endodeni.”
24Ngebangeli indoda izakutjhiya uyise nonina inamathele emfazinayo bese baba nyamanye.
25Bobabili, indoda nomfazayo gade bahlubule nokho bangananhloni ngalokho.
