Uumama 1
1 Jalqabatti Waaqni samiiwwanii fi lafa uume.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Lafti kan bifa hin qabnee fi duwwaa turte; dukkannis tuujuba irra ture; Hafuurri Waaqaas bishaan irra sosochoʼa ture.
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 Waaqnis, “Ifni haa taʼu” jedhe; ifnis ni taʼe.
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
4 Waaqnis akka ifni sun gaarii taʼe arge; ifaa fi dukkanas gargar baase.
And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness.
5 Waaqnis ifa sanaan “Guyyaa” jedhe; dukkana sanaan immoo “Halkan” jedhee moggaase. Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa tokkoffaa.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. There was evening and there was morning, one day.
6 Waaqnis, “Bishaanii fi bishaan gargar baasuuf bantiin bishaanota gidduu haa jiraatu” jedhe.
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 Kanaafuu Waaqni bantii tolchee bishaan bantii jalaatii fi kan bantiin olii gargar baase. Akkasumas taʼe.
And God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse.
8 Waaqnis bantii sana “samii” jedhee moggaase. Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa lammaffaa.
And God called the expanse Sky. And God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 Waaqnis, “Bishaan samiidhaa gad jiru iddoo tokkotti walitti haa qabamu; lafti gogaanis haa mulʼatu” jedhe. Akkasumas taʼe.
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 Waaqni lafa gogaa sanaan “lafa” jedhe; bishaanicha walitti qabameen immoo “galaana” jedhee moggaase. Waaqnis wanni kun akka gaarii taʼe arge.
And God called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11 Ammas Waaqni, “Lafti biqiltuuwwan haa baastu; biqiltuuwwan akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti sanyii baasan, mukkeen ija kennanii iji isaanii immoo sanyii of keessaa qabu adduma addaan akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti lafa irratti haa argaman” jedhe. Akkasumas taʼe.
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 Laftis biqiltuu akkuma gosa isaatti sanyii baasu, muka ija kennu, kan iji isaas sanyii of keessaa qabu adduma addaan akkuma gosa isaatti baaste. Waaqnis wanni kun akka gaarii taʼe arge.
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 Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa sadaffaa.
There was evening and there was morning, a third day.
14 Waaqnis akkana jedhe; “Guyyaa fi halkan gargar baasuuf bantii samii irratti ifawwan haa taʼan; isaanis mallattoowwan waqtiileen, guyyoonnii fi waggoonni ittiin beekaman haa taʼan;
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 isaanis ifawwan bantii samii irraa kan lafaaf ifa kennan haa taʼan.” Akkasumas taʼe.
and let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so.
16 Waaqni ifa gurguddaa lama uume; kunis akka ifni guddaan guyyaa, inni xinnaan immoo halkan moʼuuf. Akkasuma urjiiwwan illee uume.
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 Waaqnis akka isaan lafaaf ifa kennaniif bantii samii irra isaan kaaʼe;
And God set them in the expanse of the sky to shine on the earth,
18 kunis akka isaan guyyaa fi halkan moʼanii fi akka ifa sana dukkana irraa gargar baasaniif. Waaqnis wanni kun akka gaarii taʼe arge.
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 Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa afuraffaa.
There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 Waaqnis, “Bishaan uumamawwan lubbu qabeeyyii munyuuqaniin haa guutamu; simbirroonnis lafaa olitti, bantii samii keessa haa barrisan” jedhe.
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 Kanaafuu Waaqni uumamawwan galaanaa gurguddaa, lubbu qabeeyyii munyuuqan kanneen galaana keessa jiraatan hundaa fi simbirroota qoochoo qaban hunda akkuma gosa isaaniitti uume. Waaqnis wanni kun akka gaarii taʼe arge.
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 Waaqnis, “Horaa; baayʼadhaa; bishaan galaanotaas guutaa; simbirroonnis lafa irratti haa baayʼatan” jedhee isaan eebbise.
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 Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa shanaffaa.
There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 Waaqnis, “Lafti akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti uumamawwan lubbuu qabeeyyii jechuunis horii, uumamawwan lafa irra mumunyuuqan, bineensota akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti haa kennitu” jedhe. Akkasumas taʼe.
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 Waaqni bineensota akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti, horii akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti, uumamawwan lafa irra mumunyuuqanis akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti uume. Waaqni wanni kun akka gaarii taʼe arge.
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 Waaqnis, “Kottaa akka bifa keenyaatti, akka fakkeenya keenyaattis nama uumnaa; isaanis qurxummii galaanaa irratti, simbirroo samii irratti, horii irratti, lafa hundumaa fi uumamawwan lafa irra munyuuqan hundumaa irratti aangoo haa qabaatan” jedhe.
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 Kanaafuu Waaqni akka bifa isaatti nama uume; akka bifa Waaqaatti isa uume; innis dhiiraa fi dubartii taasisee isaan uume.
And God created humankind in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.
28 Waaqnis isaan eebbisee, “Horaa, baayʼadhaas; lafa guutaatii harka keessan jalattis bulfadhaa. Qurxummii galaanaa irratti, simbirroota samii irratti, uumama lafa irra munyuuqu hunda irratti aangoo qabaadhaa” jedheen.
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 Ergasii Waaqni akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani akka isaan nyaata isinii taʼaniif biqiltuu lafa hunda irratti sanyii kennu hundaa fi muka iji isaa sanyii of keessaa qabu gosa hunda isinii kenneera.
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 Anis bineensa lafaa hundaaf, simbirroota samii hundaaf, uumama lafa irra munyuuqu hundaaf jechuunis waan hafuura jireenyaa of keessaa qabu hundaaf akka nyaata isaanii taʼuuf biqiltuu lalisaa hunda nan kenna.” Akkasumas taʼe.
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 Waaqnis waan hojjete hunda ilaale; wanni sunis dhugumaan gaarii ture. Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa jaʼaffaa.
And God saw everything that he had made, and look, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
