And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

Denn als Gott der HERR gemacht hatte von der Erde allerlei Tiere auf dem Felde und allerlei Vögel unter dem Himmel, brachte er sie zu dem Menschen, daß er sähe, wie er sie nennte; denn der wie Mensch allerlei lebendige Tiere nennen würde, so sollten sie heißen.
Formó, pues, Jehová Dios de la tierra toda bestia del campo, y toda ave de los cielos, y trájolas a Adam, para que viese cómo les había de llamar; y todo lo que Adam llamó a los animales vivientes, ese es su nombre.
Jehová Dios formó del suelo todo animal del campo y toda ave de los cielos, y los llevó ante Adán para ver qué nombre les pondría. Y el nombre que Adán le dio a cada ser viviente, ese es su nombre.
L'Eternel Dieu forma de la terre tous les animaux des champs et tous les oiseaux du ciel, et il les fit venir vers l'homme, pour voir comment il les appellerait, et afin que tout être vivant portât le nom que lui donnerait l'homme.
Or il Signore Iddio, avendo formate della terra tutte le bestie della campagna, e tutti gli uccelli del cielo, li menò ad Adamo, acciocchè vedesse qual nome porrebbe a ciascuno di essi; e che qualunque nome Adamo ponesse a ciascuno animale, esso fosse il suo nome.
Havendo, pois, o SENHOR Deus formado da terra todo o animal do campo, e toda a ave dos céus, os trouxe a Adão, para este ver como lhes chamaria; e tudo o que Adão chamou a toda a alma vivente, isso foi o seu nome.
耶和華上帝用泥土造了野地各樣的走獸和天空各樣的飛鳥,都帶到那人面前,看他叫甚麼。那人怎樣叫各樣的動物,那就是牠的名字。
