WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Και συνετελέσθησαν ο ουρανός και η γη και πάσα η στρατιά αυτών.
1 Y FUERON acabados los cielos y la tierra, y todo su ornamento.
1 The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished.
2 Και είχε συντετελεσμένα ο Θεός εν τη ημέρα τη εβδόμη τα έργα αυτού, τα οποία έκαμε· και ανεπαύθη την ημέραν την εβδόμην από πάντων των έργων αυτού, τα οποία έκαμε.
2 Y acabó Dios en el día séptimo su obra que hizo, y reposó el día séptimo de toda su obra que había hecho.
2 On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.
3 Και ευλόγησεν ο Θεός την ημέραν την εβδόμην και ηγίασεν αυτήν· διότι εν αυτή ανεπαύθη από πάντων των έργων αυτού, τα οποία έκτισε και έκαμεν ο Θεός.
3 Y bendijo Dios al día séptimo, y santificólo, porque en él reposó de toda su obra que había Dios criado y hecho.
3 God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done.
4 Αύτη είναι η γένεσις του ουρανού και της γης, ότε εκτίσθησαν αυτά, καθ' ην ημέραν εποίησε Κύριος ο Θεός γην και ουρανόν,
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,
4 This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made the earth and the heavens.
5 και πάντα τα φυτά του αγρού, πριν γείνωσιν επί της γης, και πάντα χόρτον του αγρού, πριν βλαστήση· διότι δεν είχε βρέξει Κύριος ο Θεός επί της γης, και άνθρωπος δεν ήτο διά να εργάζηται την γήν·
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;
5 No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,
6 ο ατμός δε ανέβαινεν από της γης και επότιζε παν το πρόσωπον της γης.
6 Mas subía de la tierra un vapor, que regaba toda la faz de la tierra.
6 but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.
7 Και έπλασε Κύριος ο Θεός τον άνθρωπον από χώματος εκ της γης. και ενεφύσησεν εις τους μυκτήρας αυτού πνοήν ζωής, και έγεινεν ο άνθρωπος εις ψυχήν ζώσαν.
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.
7 Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 Και εφύτευσε Κύριος ο Θεός παράδεισον εν τη Εδέμ κατά ανατολάς και έθεσεν εκεί τον άνθρωπον, τον οποίον έπλασε.
8 Y había Jehová Dios plantado un huerto en Edén al oriente, y puso allí al hombre que había formado.
8 Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 Και Κύριος ο Θεός έκαμε να βλαστήση εκ της γης παν δένδρον ώραίον εις την όρασιν και καλόν εις την γεύσιν· και το ξύλον της ζωής εν μέσω του παραδείσου και το ξύλον της γνώσεως του καλού και του κακού.
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.
9 Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Ποταμός δε εξήρχετο εκ της Εδέμ διά να ποτίζη τον παράδεισον· και εκείθεν εμερίζετο εις τέσσαρας κλάδους.
10 Y salía de Edén un río para regar el huerto, y de allí se repartía en cuatro ramales.
10 A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became the source of four rivers.
11 Το όνομα του ενός, Φισών· ούτος είναι ο περικυκλόνων πάσαν την γην Αβιλά· όπου ευρίσκεται το χρυσίον·
11 El nombre del uno era Pisón: éste es el que cerca toda la tierra de Havilah, donde hay oro:
11 The name of the first is Pishon: it flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
12 το δε χρυσίον της γης εκείνης είναι καλόν· εκεί είναι το βδέλλιον και ο λίθος ο ονυχίτης.
12 Y el oro de aquella tierra es bueno: hay allí [también] bdelio y piedra cornerina.
12 and the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and onyx stone are also there.
13 Και το όνομα του ποταμού του δευτέρου, Γιών· ούτος είναι ο περικυκλόνων πάσαν την γην Χούς.
13 El nombre del segundo río es Gihón: éste es el que rodea toda la tierra de Etiopía.
13 The name of the second river is Gihon. It is the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush.
14 Και το όνομα του ποταμού του τρίτου, Τίγρις· ούτος είναι ο ρέων προς ανατολάς της Ασσυρίας. Ο δε ποταμός ο τέταρτος, ούτος είναι ο Ευφράτης.
14 Y el nombre del tercer río es Hiddekel: éste es el que va delante de Asiria. Y el cuarto río es el Eufrates.
14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel. This is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 Και έλαβε Κύριος ο Θεός τον άνθρωπον και έθεσεν αυτόν εν τω παραδείσω της Εδέμ διά να εργάζηται αυτόν και να φυλάττη αυτόν.
15 Tomó, pues, Jehová Dios al hombre, y le puso en el huerto de Edén, para que lo labrara y lo guardase.
15 Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
16 Προσέταξε δε Κύριος ο Θεός εις τον Αδάμ λέγων, Από παντός δένδρου του παραδείσου ελευθέρως θέλεις τρώγει,
16 Y mandó Jehová Dios al hombre, diciendo: De todo árbol del huerto comerás;
16 Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
17 από δε του ξύλου της γνώσεως του καλού και του κακού δεν θέλεις φάγει απ' αυτού· διότι καθ' ην ημέραν φάγης απ' αυτού, θέλεις εξάπαντος αποθάνει.
17 Mas del árbol de ciencia del bien y del mal no comerás de él; porque el día que de él comieres, morirás.
17 but you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”
18 Και είπε Κύριος ο Θεός, Δεν είναι καλόν να ήναι ο άνθρωπος μόνος· θέλω κάμει εις αυτόν βοηθόν όμοιον με αυτόν.
18 Y dijo Jehová Dios: No es bueno que el hombre esté solo; haréle ayuda idónea para él.
18 Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
19 Έπλασε δε Κύριος ο Θεός εκ της γης πάντα τα ζώα του αγρού και πάντα τα πετεινά του ουρανού, και έφερεν αυτά προς τον Αδάμ, διά να ίδη πως να ονομάση αυτά· και ό,τι όνομα ήθελε δώσει ο Αδάμ εις παν έμψυχον, τούτο να ήναι το όνομα αυτού.
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.
19 Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature became its name.
20 Και έδωκεν ο Αδάμ ονόματα εις πάντα τα κτήνη και εις τα πτηνά του ουρανού και εις πάντα τα ζώα του αγρού· εις δε τον Αδάμ δεν ευρίσκετο βοηθός όμοιος με αυτόν.
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.
20 The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper comparable to him.
21 Και επέβαλε Κύριος ο Θεός έκστασιν επί τον Αδάμ, και εκοιμήθη· και έλαβε μίαν εκ των πλευρών αυτού και έκλεισε με σάρκα τον τόπον αυτής.
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;
21 Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. As the man slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
22 Και κατεσκεύασε Κύριος ο Θεός την πλευράν, την οποίαν έλαβεν από του Αδάμ, εις γυναίκα και έφερεν αυτήν προς τον Αδάμ.
22 Y de la costilla que Jehová Dios tomó del hombre, hizo una mujer, y trájola al hombre.
22 Yahweh God made a woman from the rib which he had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
23 Και είπεν ο Αδάμ, Τούτο είναι τώρα οστούν εκ των οστέων μου και σαρξ εκ της σαρκός μου· αύτη θέλει ονομασθή ανδρίς, διότι εκ του ανδρός αύτη ελήφθη.
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.
23 The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken out of Man.”
24 Διά τούτο θέλει αφήσει ο άνθρωπος τον πατέρα αυτού και την μητέρα αυτού, και θέλει προσκολληθή εις την γυναίκα αυτού· και θέλουσιν είσθαι οι δύο εις σάρκα μίαν.
24 Por tanto, dejará el hombre á su padre y á su madre, y allegarse ha á su mujer, y serán una sola carne.
24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.
25 Ήσαν δε και οι δύο γυμνοί, ο Αδάμ και η γυνή αυτού, και δεν ησχύνοντο.
25 Y estaban ambos desnudos, Adam y su mujer, y no se avergonzaban.
25 The man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.

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).
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.
Wherefore also the prophetic word declares of the first-formed man, "He became a living soul," teaching us that by the participation of life the soul became alive; so that the soul, and the life which it possesses, must be understood as being separate existences.
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. For now hath it no longer need of baptism, as the heathen have, and as itself had when it was covered with the …

As then Moses calleth it the book of heaven and earth, although he hath not discoursed of heaven and earth only, but also of all things that are in the midst thereof; so also this man hath named his book from that which is the sum of all the great things done.
