18 UThixo uNkulunkulu wathi, "Kakukuhle ukuba indoda ibe yodwa. Ngizayenzela umsizi oyifaneleyo."
19 UThixo uNkulunkulu wayesezibumbile ngomhlabathi zonke izinyamazana zeganga lazozonke izinyoni zemoyeni. Waziletha emuntwini ukuthi aziphe amabizo; kwathi loba yiliphi ibizo asibiza ngalo isidalwa esiphilayo, kwaba yilo ibizo laso. 20 Ngakho umuntu wapha amabizo zonke izifuyo, lezinyoni zemkhathini lazozonke izinyamazana zeganga.
Kodwa u-Adamu wayengelaye umsizi omfaneleyo. 21 Ngakho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenza indoda yalala ubuthongo bokufa; kwathi khonapho isalele wathatha olunye ubhambo lwendoda waseyivala leyondawo ngenyama. 22 Emva kwalokho uThixo uNkulunkulu wasesenza umfazi ngobhambo ayeluthethe endodeni, wasemletha endodeni.
23 Indoda yathi,
"Lo manje uselithambo lamathambo ami
lenyama yenyama yami;
usezabizwa ngokuthi ‘mfazi,’
ngoba wakhitshwa endodeni."
24 Ngalesisizatho indoda izatshiya uyise lonina imanyane lomkayo, babe nyamanye.
