Rest does not mean rest because He was tired. Rest means simply that He was finished and didn't create anything more.

Again, rest does not mean the way you're understanding it to mean. Rest here just means that God finished the work of creation, therefore, by definition, He was resting from the work of creation. Not that He needed the rest, nor that He actually took a break to like go to sleep or something.

What translation do you want? The Hebrew?

Ok. Here's how I translate it, word for word from the Hebrew without changing anything to fit better in English:
And the heaven and earth and all their hosts were finished. And God finished on the seventh day His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all his work which He had done. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it, because on it He rested from all His work which He had created, to do.
