RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 And the heavens and the earth were finished, and the whole world of them.

1 Y FUERON acabados los cielos y la tierra, y todo su ornamento.

2 And God finished on the sixth day his works which he made, and he ceased on the seventh day from all his works which he made.

2 Y acabó Dios en el día séptimo su obra que hizo, y reposó el día séptimo de toda su obra que había hecho.

3 And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he ceased from all his works which God began to do.

3 Y bendijo Dios al día séptimo, y santificólo, porque en él reposó de toda su obra que había Dios criado y hecho.

4 This [is] the book of the generation of heaven and earth, when they were made, in the day in which the Lord God made the heaven and the earth,

4 Estos son los orígenes de los cielos y de la tierra cuando fueron criados, el día que Jehová Dios hizo la tierra y los cielos,

5 and every herb of the field before it was on the earth, and all the grass of the field before it sprang up, for God had not rained on the earth, and there was not a man to cultivate it.

5 Y toda planta del campo antes que fuese en la tierra, y toda hierba del campo antes que naciese: porque aun no había Jehová Dios hecho llover sobre la tierra, ni había hombre para que labrase la tierra;

6 But there rose a fountain out of the earth, and watered the whole face of the earth.

6 Mas subía de la tierra un vapor, que regaba toda la faz de la tierra.

7 And God formed the man [of] dust of the earth, and breathed upon his face the breath of life, and the man became a living soul.

7 Formó, pues, Jehová Dios al hombre del polvo de la tierra, y alentó en su nariz soplo de vida; y fué el hombre en alma viviente.

8 And God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and placed there the man whom he had formed.

8 Y había Jehová Dios plantado un huerto en Edén al oriente, y puso allí al hombre que había formado.

9 And God made to spring up also out of the earth every tree beautiful to the eye and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of learning the knowledge of good and evil.

9 Y había Jehová Dios hecho nacer de la tierra todo árbol delicioso á la vista, y bueno para comer: también el árbol de vida en medio del huerto, y el árbol de ciencia del bien y del mal.

10 And a river proceeds out of Eden to water the garden, thence it divides itself into four heads.

10 Y salía de Edén un río para regar el huerto, y de allí se repartía en cuatro ramales.

11 The name of the one, Pishon, this it is which encircles the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.

11 El nombre del uno era Pisón: éste es el que cerca toda la tierra de Havilah, donde hay oro:

12 And the gold of that land is good, there also is carbuncle and emerald.

12 Y el oro de aquella tierra es bueno: hay allí [también] bdelio y piedra cornerina.

13 And the name of the second river is Gihon, this it is which encircles the whole land of Ethiopia.

13 El nombre del segundo río es Gihón: éste es el que rodea toda la tierra de Etiopía.

14 And the third river is Tigris, this is that which flows forth over against the Assyrians. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

14 Y el nombre del tercer río es Hiddekel: éste es el que va delante de Asiria. Y el cuarto río es el Eufrates.

15 And the Lord God took the man whom he had formed, and placed him in the garden of Delight, to cultivate and keep it.

15 Tomó, pues, Jehová Dios al hombre, y le puso en el huerto de Edén, para que lo labrara y lo guardase.

16 And the Lord God gave a charge to Adam, saying, Of every tree which is in the garden thou mayest freely eat,

16 Y mandó Jehová Dios al hombre, diciendo: De todo árbol del huerto comerás;

17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil—of it ye shall not eat, but in whatsoever day ye eat of it, ye shall surely die.

17 Mas del árbol de ciencia del bien y del mal no comerás de él; porque el día que de él comieres, morirás.

18 And the Lord God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone, let us make for him a help suitable to him.

18 Y dijo Jehová Dios: No es bueno que el hombre esté solo; haréle ayuda idónea para él.

19 And God formed yet farther out of the earth all the wild beasts of the field, and all the birds of the sky, and he brought them to Adam, to see what he would call them, and whatever Adam called any living creature, that was the name of it.

19 Formó, pues, Jehová Dios de la tierra toda bestia del campo, y toda ave de los cielos, y trájolas á Adam, para que viese cómo les había de llamar; y todo lo que Adam llamó á los animales vivientes, ese es su nombre.

20 And Adam gave names to all the cattle and to all the birds of the sky, and to all the wild beasts of the field, but for Adam there was not found a help like to himself.

20 Y puso Adam nombres á toda bestia y ave de los cielos y á todo animal del campo: mas para Adam no halló ayuda que [estuviese] idónea para él.

21 And God brought a trance upon Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs, and filled up the flesh instead thereof.

21 Y Jehová Dios hizo caer sueño sobre Adam, y se quedó dormido: entonces tomó una de sus costillas, y cerró la carne en su lugar;

22 And God formed the rib which he took from Adam into a woman, and brought her to Adam.

22 Y de la costilla que Jehová Dios tomó del hombre, hizo una mujer, y trájola al hombre.

23 And Adam said, This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of her husband.

23 Y dijo Adam: Esto es ahora hueso de mis huesos, y carne de mi carne: ésta será llamada Varona, porque del varón fué tomada.

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

24 Por tanto, dejará el hombre á su padre y á su madre, y allegarse ha á su mujer, y serán una sola carne.

25 And the two were naked, both Adam and his wife, and were not ashamed.

25 Y estaban ambos desnudos, Adam y su mujer, y no se avergonzaban.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

Quotes verse 2:23 Clement of Rome, First Epistle to the Corinthians (Chapters I–VI)
Envy has alienated wives from their husbands, and changed that saying of our father Adam, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh." Envy and strife have overthrown great cities and rooted up mighty nations.

And hereby, in Thy Word, not the depth of the sea, but the earth parted from the bitterness of the waters, bringeth forth not the creeping and flying creature that hath life, but the living soul itself.
