Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
1Igitur perfecti sunt cæli et terra, et omnis ornatus eorum.
2And by the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work.
2Complevitque Deus die septimo opus suum quod fecerat: et requievit die septimo ab universo opere quod patrarat.
3Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on that day He rested from all the work of creation that He had accomplished.
3Et benedixit diei septimo, et sanctificavit illum, quia in ipso cessaverat ab omni opere suo quod creavit Deus ut faceret.
4This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.
4Istæ sunt generationes cæli et terræ, quando creata sunt, in die quo fecit Dominus Deus cælum et terram,
5Now no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth, nor had any plant of the field sprouted; for the LORD God had not yet sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.
5et omne virgultum agri antequam oriretur in terra, omnemque herbam regionis priusquam germinaret: non enim pluerat Dominus Deus super terram, et homo non erat qui operaretur terram:
6But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
6sed fons ascendebat e terra, irrigans universam superficiem terræ.
7Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.
7Formavit igitur Dominus Deus hominem de limo terræ, et inspiravit in faciem ejus spiraculum vitæ, et factus est homo in animam viventem.
8And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.
8Plantaverat autem Dominus Deus paradisum voluptatis a principio, in quo posuit hominem quem formaverat.
9Out of the ground the LORD God gave growth to every tree that is pleasing to the eye and good for food. And in the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
9Produxitque Dominus Deus de humo omne lignum pulchrum visu, et ad vescendum suave lignum etiam vitæ in medio paradisi, lignumque scientiæ boni et mali.
10Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:
10Et fluvius egrediebatur de loco voluptatis ad irrigandum paradisum, qui inde dividitur in quatuor capita.
11The name of the first river is Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
11Nomen uni Phison: ipse est qui circuit omnem terram Hevilath, ubi nascitur aurum:
12And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.
12et aurum terræ illius optimum est; ibi invenitur bdellium, et lapis onychinus.
13The name of the second river is Gihon; it winds through the whole land of Cush.
13Et nomen fluvii secundi Gehon; ipse est qui circumit omnem terram Æthiopiæ.
14The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it runs along the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
14Nomen vero fluminis tertii, Tigris: ipse vadit contra Assyrios. Fluvius autem quartus, ipse est Euphrates.
15Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
15Tulit ergo Dominus Deus hominem, et posuit eum in paradiso voluptatis, ut operaretur, et custodiret illum:
16And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,
16præcepitque ei, dicens: Ex omni ligno paradisi comede;
17but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”
17de ligno autem scientiæ boni et mali ne comedas: in quocumque enim die comederis ex eo, morte morieris.
18The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”
18Dixit quoque Dominus Deus: Non est bonum esse hominem solum: faciamus ei adjutorium simile sibi.
19And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and He brought them to the man to see what he would name each one. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
19Formatis igitur Dominus Deus de humo cunctis animantibus terræ, et universis volatilibus cæli, adduxit ea ad Adam, ut videret quid vocaret ea: omne enim quod vocavit Adam animæ viventis, ipsum est nomen ejus.
20The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.
20Appellavitque Adam nominibus suis cuncta animantia, et universa volatilia cæli, et omnes bestias terræ: Adæ vero non inveniebatur adjutor similis ejus.
21So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the area with flesh.
21Immisit ergo Dominus Deus soporem in Adam: cumque obdormisset, tulit unam de costis ejus, et replevit carnem pro ea.
22And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.
22Et ædificavit Dominus Deus costam, quam tulerat de Adam, in mulierem: et adduxit eam ad Adam.
23And the man said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for out of man she was taken.”
23Dixitque Adam: Hoc nunc os ex ossibus meis, et caro de carne mea: hæc vocabitur Virago, quoniam de viro sumpta est.
24For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
24Quam ob rem relinquet homo patrem suum, et matrem, et adhærebit uxori suæ: et erunt duo in carne una.
25And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
25Erat autem uterque nudus, Adam scilicet et uxor ejus: et non erubescebant.
