Chakruok 1
1 Kar chakruok Nyasaye nochweyo polo gi piny.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Koro piny ne onge kido kendo ne onge gimoro amora e iye. Mudho mandiwa noimo ataro mangʼongo kendo Roho mar Nyasaye ne wuotho ewi atarono.
Now the earth was formless and empty, and darkness was on the surface of the watery depths. And God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.
3 Eka Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ler mondo obedie,” mi ler nobetie.
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
4 Nyasaye noneno ni ler ber, kendo ne opogo ler kuom mudho.
And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness.
5 Nyasaye noluongo ler ni “odiechiengʼ” kendo mudho noluongo ni “otieno.” Piny noyuso, kendo noru ma en chiengʼ mokwongo.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. There was evening and there was morning, one day.
6 Eka Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Gima pogo pi mondo obedie mondo opog pi gi pige.”
And God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." And it was so.
7 Omiyo Nyasaye noketo gima pogo pi mamalo gi pi ma piny. Kendo nobedo kamano.
And God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse.
8 Nyasaye noluongo gima nopogo pigno ni “polo.” Piny noyuso kendo noru, ma en chiengʼ mar ariyo.
And God called the expanse Sky. And God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 Kendo Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Pi manie bwo polo mondo ochokre kaachiel, kendo lowo motwo obedie.” Kendo notimore kamano.
And God said, "Let the waters under the sky be gathered to one gathering, and let the dry land appear." And it was so. And the waters under the sky gathered to their gatherings, and the dry land appeared.
10 Nyasaye nochako lowo ni “piny” kendo pige mane ochokore nochako ni “nembe.” Kendo Nyasaye noneno ni mano ber.
And God called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11 Eka Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Buya nyaka nyag e piny, kothe manyago cham kod yiende manyago olembe man-gi kuthe eigi kaka kitgi obet kendo nobedo kamano.
And God said, "Let the earth produce vegetation, plants yielding seed after its kind, and fruit trees bearing fruit with seed in it after its kind, on the earth." And it was so.
12 Buya nonyak e piny: Cham nonywolo kothegi kaka kitgi nobet kendo yiende nonywolo olembe man-gi kodhi kaka kitgi nobet. Kendo Nyasaye noneno ni mano ber.
And the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after its kind, and fruit trees bearing fruit with seed in it after its kind, on the earth. And God saw that it was good.
13 Piny noyuso kendo noru, ma en chiengʼ mar adek.”
There was evening and there was morning, a third day.
14 Bangʼe Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ler mondo obedie e kor polo mondo opog odiechiengʼ gi otieno, kendo gibed kaka ranyisi mag lokruok ndalo kod odiechienge, kod higni,
And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky for the illumination of the day, to give light on the earth, and to rule the day and the night, and to separate between the day and the night. And let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and for years,
15 kendo ginibedi ler mae kor polo mondo gi chiw ler e piny.” Kendo nobedo kamano.
and let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so.
16 Nyasaye noloso gik moko ariyo madongo makelo ler; ler maduongʼ ne rito odiechiengʼ, to ler matin ne rito otieno. Sulwe bende noloso.
And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars.
17 Nyasaye noketogi e kor polo mondo gi chiw ler e piny,
And God set them in the expanse of the sky to shine on the earth,
18 mondo girit odiechiengʼ gotieno, kendo gipog ler koa kuom mudho. Nyasaye noneno ni mano ber.
and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 Piny noyuso kendo noru, ma en chiengʼ mar angʼwen.
There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 Kendo Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Pi mondo opongʼ gi gik mangima, kendo winy mondo ofu ewi piny e kor polo.”
And God said, "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let flying creatures fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky." And it was so.
21 Kamano Nyasaye nochweyo gik madongo mag nam kod gik mangima duto kod gik malak mag pi, kaka kitgi obet kod winy duto man-gi bwombegi kaka kitgi obet. Nyasaye noneno ni mano ber.
And God created the large sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after its kind, and every winged flying creature after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 Nyasaye nogwedhogi kendo owacho niya, “Nywolreuru kendo umedru kuom kwan kendo upongʼ pi mag nembe kendo winy bende omedre e piny.”
And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the flying creatures multiply on the earth."
23 Kendo piny noyuso, kendo noru, ma en chiengʼ mar abich.
There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 Kendo Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Piny mondo onywol gik mangima kaka kitgi obet: Jamni, kod gik moko duto mamol e lowo, kod le mag bungu, mana kaka kit moro ka moro obet.” Kendo nobet kamano.
And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after its kind: tame animals, and crawling creatures, and wild animals of the earth after its kind." And it was so.
25 Nyasaye noloso le mag bungu kaka kitgi obet; jamni kaka kitgi obet kendo gi gik mamol e lowo kaka kitgi obet. Nyasaye noneno ni mano ber.
And God made the wild animals of the earth after its kind, and the tame animals after its kind, and everything that crawls on the ground after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 Eka Nyasaye nowacho niya, “We wachwe dhano e kido machal kodwa kendo gibed gi teko ewi rech mae nam kendo gi winy mae kor polo, ewi jamni, ewi piny duto kendo ewi chwech duto mawuotho ewi lowo.”
And God said, "Let us make humankind in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of the sky, and over the tame animals, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creature that crawls on the earth." And it was so.
27 Kuom mano Nyasaye nochweyo dhano e kite owuon, e kit Nyasaye nochweye; nochweyogi dichwo gi dhako.
And God created humankind in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.
28 Nyasaye nogwedhogi mi owachonegi niya, “Nywolreuru kendo kwanu omedre; pongʼuru piny kendo urite. Beduru gi teko ewi rech ma e nam kod winy mae kor polo kendo ewi gik mangima duto mawuotho ewi lowo.”
And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of the sky, and over all the tame animals, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over all the creatures that crawl on the earth."
29 Eka Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Amiyou kothe duto manyago cham e wangʼ piny duto kod yiende duto man kod olemo gi kodhi eigi. Ginibed magu kuom chiemo.
And God said, "Look, I have given you every plant yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.
30 To ne le duto mag piny kod winy duto mafuyo e kor polo kod gik moko duto mawuotho e piny, gimoro amora mangima; amiyo lum duto mondo obed chiembgi.” Kendo nobedo kamano.
And to every wild animal of the earth, and to every tame animal of the earth, and to every flying creature of the sky, and to every creature that crawls on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green plant for food."
31 Nyasaye nongʼiyo gik moko duto mane osechweyo kendo noneno ni gibeyo ahinya. Piny noyuso kendo noru, ma en chiengʼ mar auchiel.
And God saw everything that he had made, and look, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
