2 Pa ntsiku yacinomwe, Mulungu adamaliza kucita mabasa yentse yomwe akhaphata, ndipo pa ntsiku yacinomweyo iye adapuma pa mabasa yace yentse yomwe akhacita.
3 Ndipo Mulungu adasimba ntsiku yacinomweyo aciicitisa kukhala yakupambulika, pakuti pa ntsikuyi Mulungu adapuma pa mabasa yace yentse yakulenga na bzentse bzomwe akhafuna kucita.
4 Iyi ni nkhani yakufotokoza bza kudzulu na dziko la pantsi pa nthawe yomwe bzidalengedwa, pa ntsiku yomwe Yahova* Mulungu adalenga dziko la pantsi na kudzulu.
5 Pa dziko la pantsi pakhalibe miti ndipo bzakumera bzikhanati kuyamba kumera, pakuti Yahova Mulungu akhanati kubvumbisa nvula pa dziko la pantsi, ndipo kukhalibembo munthu kuti alime.
6 Tsono pfulere likhakwira kucokera pa dziko la pantsi ndipo likhatotesa pantsi pentse.
7 Ndipo Yahova Mulungu adakonza munthu mwakuphatisa basa mataka,* acifuliza mphuno mwace mphuwe ya moyo, ndipo munthuyo adakhala na moyo.*
8 Patsogolo pace, Yahova Mulungu adakonza zunde la Edeni kumabvadzuwa, ndipo adaikha m’mwemo munthu omwe akhadamukonzayo.

10 Mu Edeni mukhana mkulo omwe ukhathirizira zundero. Kucokera m’zundemo, mkuloyo ukhagawanika ucikhala mikulo minai.
11 Dzina la mkulo wakuyamba ni Pisoni. Mkulo umweyu umbazungulira dziko lentse la Havila komwe kuna oro.

14 Dzina la mkulo wacitatu ni Hidekeli, omwe umbayenda kumabvadzuwa kwa Asiriya, ndipo mkulo wacinai ni Eufrate.
15 Yahova Mulungu adatenga munthu ule acimuikha mu zunde la Edeni kuti ambalime na kulisamalira.
16 Yahova Mulungu adapasambo munthuyo lamulo lakuti: “Bzisapo bza muti uli-wentse wa m’zundemu ungadye momwe ungafunire.
17 Tsono leka kudya bzisapo bza m’muti wakudziwisa cabwino na cakuipa, pakuti pa ntsiku yomwe un’dzadya, kulewa cadidi, un’dzafa.”
18 Patsogolo pace Yahova Mulungu adati: “Bziri lini bwino kuti munthu apitirize kukhala yekha, nin’mukonzera mthandizi kuti akhale mwanzace wakumuthemera.”
19 Yahova Mulungu adakonza na mataka bzirombo bzentse bza m’thengo na cakulengedwa ciri-centse cakumbuluka kudzulu, ndipo iye adayamba kubziyendesa kwa munthuyo kuti awone dzina lomwe munthuyo angadapasa cirombo ciri-centse. Ndipo dzina liri-lentse lomwe iye akhapereka kwa camoyo ciri-centse lidakhaladi limwero.
20 Tenepo, munthuyo adapereka madzina kwa bzifuwo bzentse, bzakulengedwa bzakumbuluka m’dzaulu na bzirombo bzentse bza m’thengo, tsono munthuyo akhalibe nyakumuthandiza ninga mwanzace wakumuthemera.
21 Tenepo, Yahova Mulungu adacitisa munthuyo kugona tulo twamphanvu, ndipo pomwe akhadagona, iye adamucosa mbabvu ibodzi, acifunga pamwepo na mnonfu.
22 Ndipo Yahova Mulungu adakonza mkazi mwakuphatisa basa mbabvu yomwe adaicosa kwa mwamuna ire, ndipo iye adabweresa mkaziyo kwa mwamunayo.
23 Tenepo mwamunayo adati:
“Uyu ni pfupa la mafupa yanguNa mnonfu wa mnonfu wangu.
Umweyu an’dzacemeredwa mkazi,Pakuti wakonzedwa kucokera kwa mwamuna.”
24 Na thangwe limweri, mwamuna an’dzasiya pai wace na mai wace, acidzaphatana* na mkazi wace, ndipo iwo an’dzakhala thupi libodzi.
25 Ndipo wentsenewo, mwamuna na mkazi waceyo, adapitiriza kukhala pezi ndipo akhacita lini manyazi.
