Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

ClVg Igitur perfecti sunt cæli et terra, et omnis ornatus eorum.[fn]
(Igitur perfecti are cæli and terra, and everyone ornatus their. )
2.1 Igitur perfecti sunt cœli et terra, etc. ALCUIN., in Gen. tom. 1, col. 517 Nullo modo dici potest quomodo fecit Deus cœlum et terram. Sed hæc expositio per ordinem dierum indicat tanquam historiam factarum rerum, sed maxime observat prædicationem futurorum, etc., usque ad quem Dominus utiliter latere monstravit. Igitur perfecti sunt cœli, et terra, et omnis ornatus eorum. AUG., de Gen. contra Manich., lib. 1, c. ult. Allegorice. Post illorum quasi sex dierum opera valde bona speret homo requiem perpetuam, et intelligat quid sit, et requievit Deus die septimo ab operibus suis: quia et ipse in nobis hæc bona operatur, qui jubet ut operemur. Et recte quiescere dicitur: quia post hæc omnia opera requiem nobis præstabit, quomodo paterfamilias domum ædificat, cum servientibus facere imperat; et post ab operibus requiescere, cum, perfecta fabrica, jubet quiescere. AUG., ibid. Habet unusquisque nostrum in suis operibus et recta vita tanquam distinctos istos sex dies, post quos debeat quietem sperare: primo die lucem fidei, quando primum visibilibus credit, propter quam fidem Dominus visibiliter apparere dignatus est. Secundo die factum est tanquam firmamentum disciplinæ, quod discernit inter carnalia et spiritualia opera, sicut firmamentum inter inferiores aquas et superiores. Tertio die quo mentem suam ad proferendos bonorum operum fructus præparat, et erigit, separata labe et fluctibus tentationum carnalium, tanquam aridam habet mentem a perturbationibus maris, ut jam possit dicere: Mente servio legi Dei, etc. Rom. 7.

Igitur perfecti are cœli, and terra, and everyone ornatus their. AUG., about Gen. on_the_contrary Manich., lib. 1, c. ult. Allegorice. Post illorum as_if sex dierum opera valde good speret human requiem perpetuam, and intelligat quid let_it_be, and requievit God day septimo away operibus to_his_own: because and exactly_that/himself in us these_things good operatur, who yubet as operemur. And recte quiescere it_is_said: because after these_things everything opera requiem us præstabit, how paterfamilias home ædificat, when/with servientibus facere imperat; and after away operibus requiescere, cum, perfecta fabrica, yubet quiescere. AUG., ibid. Habet unusquisque nostrum in to_his_own operibus and recta vita tanquam distinctos istos sex days, after which debeat quietem sperare: primo day the_light of_faith, when primum visibilibus he_believes, propter how faith Master visibiliter apparere dignatus it_is. Secundo day done it_is tanquam firmamentum disciplinæ, that discernit between carnalia and spiritualia opera, like firmamentum between inferiores waters and superiores. Tertio day quo mentem his_own to proferendos bonorum operum fructus præparat, and erigit, separata labe and fluctibus tentationum carnalium, tanquam aridam habet mentem from perturbationibus maris, as yam possit dicere: Mente servio legi of_God, etc. Rom. 7.
2:1-3 Humankind is the high point of God’s creative acts (1:26-31), while day 7 is the climax of the creation week. When God rested, he endorsed all of creation—there was nothing more to do! This seven-day framework structured Israel’s week, with the seventh day as the precedent for their weekly Sabbath. The Sabbath was intended to celebrate God’s finished work; the seventh day would be set apart as holy and dedicated to the Creator, who also rested (see Exod 20:8-11; 31:12-17; cp. Matt 12:1-8; Rom 14:5-6; Col 2:16-17; Heb 4:1-11).

and=they_were_completed the=heavens and=the=earth
Verse 1 is a summary statement that looks back at what God did in chapter 1. Make sure that is clear in your language. Also consider whether it is better in your language to use an active or passive clause here, and see how you translated “heavens and earth” in Gen 1:1. Alternate translation: “So it was that the heavens and the earth were finished by God,” or “That is how God finished making the heavens and the earth,”
וְכָל צְבָאָֽם
and=all their=group/army/objects
This phrase refers to everything in the heavens and on the earth that God had created, as described in chapter 1. Alternate translation: “along with everything in them.”
