Genesis 1
1 Tangsuek naah Sithaw mah van hoi long to sak.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Long loe tungkrang om ai, kong sut; kaving loe kathuk nuiah oh. Sithaw ih Muithla loe tui nuiah angtawt.
The earth was without form and empty. Darkness was upon the surface of the deep. The Spirit of God was moving above the surface of the waters.
3 Sithaw mah, Aanghaih om nasoe, tiah thuih pongah, Aanghaih to oh.
God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4 Sithaw mah aanghaih to hnuk naah hoih, tiah thuih; Sithaw mah aanghaih to kaving thung hoiah tapraek.
God saw the light, that it was good. He divided the light from the darkness.
5 Ka-aang to Sithaw mah Khodai, tiah kawk moe, kaving to Khoving, tiah kawk. To tiah duem hoi khawn to oh moe, amtong tangsuekhaih niah oh.
God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” This was evening and morning, the first day.
6 Sithaw mah, Tuinawk um ah van hma to om nasoe loe, tui thung hoiah tui to ampraek nasoe, tiah thuih.
God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”
7 To pongah Sithaw mah van hma to sak moe, van hma tlim ih tui hoi van hma ranui ih tui to tapraek; a thuih ih lok baktih toengah oh.
God made the expanse and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse. It was so.
8 Sithaw mah van hma to van, tiah kawk; to tiah duem hoi khawn to oh; to loe ni hnetto haih ah oh.
God called the expanse “sky.” This was evening and morning, the second day.
9 Sithaw mah, tuinawk loe van tlim ah nawnto angcu o nasoe loe, saoeng to amtueng nasoe, tiah thuih; a thuih ih lok baktih toengah oh.
God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear.” It was so.
10 Sithaw mah kaphui long to saoeng, tiah kawk moe, nawnto angcuu tui to tuipui, tiah kawk; a sak ih hmuen to Sithaw mah hnuk naah hoih, tiah thuih.
God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” He saw that it was good.
11 Sithaw mah, Saoeng nuiah phroh, amuu kaom aan kahingnawk, amuu kaom thingthai congca kathai thingkungnawk to amprawk o nasoe, tiah thuih; a thuih ih lok baktih toengah oh.
God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation: plants yielding seed and fruit trees bearing fruit whose seed is in the fruit, each according to its own kind.” It was so.
12 Long ah phroh to amprawk, amuu kaom aan congca hoi thingthai congca to amprawk o; a sak ih hmuen to Sithaw mah hnuk naah hoih, tiah thuih.
The earth produced vegetation, plants producing seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit whose seed was in it, after their kind. God saw that it was good.
13 Duem hoi khawn to oh, to loe ni thumto haih ah oh.
This was evening and morning, the third day.
14 Sithaw mah, khoving thung hoi khodai to tapraek hanah, van hma ah aanghaih to om nasoe, atuenawk, aninawk, saningnawk loe angmathaih ah om nasoe,
God said, “Let there be lights in the sky to divide the day from the night and let them be as signs, for seasons, for days and years.
15 long to aanghaih paek hanah van hma ah aanghaih to om nasoe, tiah thuih; a thuih ih lok baktih toengah oh.
Let them be lights in the sky to give light upon the earth.” It was so.
16 Sithaw mah aanghaih paekkung kalen hnetto sak, kalen kue khodai ukkung ka-aang hoi kathoeng kue khoving ukkung ka-aang to a sak; cakaehnawk doeh a sak.
God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.
17 Long to aanghaih paek hanah, to aanghaih to Sithaw mah van hma ah suek.
God set them in the sky to give light upon the earth,
18 Khodai hoi khoving to uk moe, khoving thung hoi khodai to tapraek hanah, to tiah a suek; a sak ih hmuen to Sithaw mah hnuk naah hoih, tiah thuih.
to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good.
19 Duem hoi khawn to oh, to loe ni palito haih ah oh.
This was evening and morning, the fourth day.
20 Sithaw mah, tui thungah Hinghaih katawn, kangtawt thaih moi congca to om nasoe loe, long ranui ah kaom kawk parai van hma ah tavaanawk to azawk o nasoe, tiah thuih.
God said, “Let the waters be filled with great numbers of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the expanse of the sky.”
21 To tiah Sithaw mah kalen parai tuipui thungah tanga pui, hinghaih katawn angtawt thaih moi congca hoi azawk thaih tava congca doeh pungsak; a sak ih hmuen to Sithaw mah hnuk naah hoih, tiah thuih.
God created the great sea creatures, as well as every living creature after its kind, creatures that move and which fill the waters everywhere, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good.
22 To a sak ih moinawk to Sithaw mah tahamhoihaih paek, Athaih pop nasoe loe, tuipui koi mongah pung o nasoe, tavaanawk doeh long ah pung o nasoe, tiah thuih.
God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas. Let birds multiply on the earth.”
23 Duem hoi khawn to oh, to loe ni pangato haih ah oh.
This was evening and morning, the fifth day.
24 Sithaw mah, Hinghaih tawn pacah ih moi congca, long ah kavak moinawk, taw ah kaom congca moinawk loe long mah pungsak nasoe, tiah thuih; a thuih ih lok baktih toengah oh.
God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures, each according to its own kind, livestock, creeping things, and beasts of the earth, each according to its own kind.” It was so.
25 Sithaw mah taw ih congca moi, pacah ih congca moi, long ah kavak angtawt thaih congca moi to sak; a sak ih hmuen to Sithaw mah hnuk naah hoih, tiah thuih.
God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, the livestock after their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the ground after its kind. He saw that it was good.
26 To pacoengah Sithaw mah, Kami hae aimacae tungkrang baktih, aimacae hoi kanghmong ah sah si loe, tuipui thung ih tanganawk, van ih tavaanawk, long ah pacah ih moinawk, long ah kavak moinawk boih to uk nasoe, tiah thuih.
God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 To pongah Sithaw mah kami to angmah ih tungkrang baktih toengah sak; Sithaw krang hoi kanghmong ah nongpa hoi nongpata to sak.
God created man in his own image. In his own image he created him. Male and female he created them.
28 Sithaw mah, nihnik khaeah, Athaih athai hoih, pung hoih, long ah koi hoi ah loe, long to uk hoih; tuipui thung ih tanganawk, van ih tavaanawk, long nuiah kavak hinghaih katawn moinawk boih to uk hoih, tiah tahamhoihaih paek.
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply. Fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
29 To pacoengah Sithaw mah, Khenah, long pum ah amuu kaom ann congca, thingthaikung congca to kang paek; to hmuennawk loe nang hnik ih buh ah om tih.
God said, “See, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the surface of all the earth, and every tree with fruit which has seed in it. They will be food to you.
30 Na caak hoi hanah, long ah kaom taw ih moinawk boih, van ih tavaanawk boih, long ah kavak hinghaih tawn moinawk boih, anqam congca to kang paek, tiah a naa. A thuih ih lok baktih toengah oh.
To every beast of the earth, to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creeps upon the earth, and to every creature that has the breath of life I have given every green plant for food.” It was so.
31 A sak ih hmuennawk boih Sithaw mah khet naah, Hoih parai, tiah thuih. Duem hoi khawn to oh, to loe ni tarukto haih ah oh.
God saw everything that he had made. Behold, it was very good. This was evening and morning, the sixth day.
