+ Genesis 1 >

1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
Kar chakruok Nyasaye nochweyo polo gi piny.
2 The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.
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.
3 God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
Eka Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ler mondo obedie,” mi ler nobetie.
4 God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness.
Nyasaye noneno ni ler ber, kendo ne opogo ler kuom mudho.
5 God called the light “day”, and the darkness he called “night”. There was evening and there was morning, the first day.
Nyasaye noluongo ler ni “odiechiengʼ” kendo mudho noluongo ni “otieno.” Piny noyuso, kendo noru ma en chiengʼ mokwongo.
6 God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”
Eka Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Gima pogo pi mondo obedie mondo opog pi gi pige.”
7 God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.
Omiyo Nyasaye noketo gima pogo pi mamalo gi pi ma piny. Kendo nobedo kamano.
8 God called the expanse “sky”. There was evening and there was morning, a second day.
Nyasaye noluongo gima nopogo pigno ni “polo.” Piny noyuso kendo noru, ma en chiengʼ mar ariyo.
9 God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear;” and it was so.
Kendo Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Pi manie bwo polo mondo ochokre kaachiel, kendo lowo motwo obedie.” Kendo notimore kamano.
10 God called the dry land “earth”, and the gathering together of the waters he called “seas”. God saw that it was good.
Nyasaye nochako lowo ni “piny” kendo pige mane ochokore nochako ni “nembe.” Kendo Nyasaye noneno ni mano ber.
11 God said, “Let the earth yield grass, herbs yielding seeds, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with their seeds in it, on the earth;” and it was so.
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.
12 The earth yielded grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with their seeds in it, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.
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.
13 There was evening and there was morning, a third day.
Piny noyuso kendo noru, ma en chiengʼ mar adek.”
14 God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs to mark seasons, days, and years;
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,
15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth;” and it was so.
kendo ginibedi ler mae kor polo mondo gi chiw ler e piny.” Kendo nobedo kamano.
16 God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars.
Nyasaye noloso gik moko ariyo madongo makelo ler; ler maduongʼ ne rito odiechiengʼ, to ler matin ne rito otieno. Sulwe bende noloso.
17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light to the earth,
Nyasaye noketogi e kor polo mondo gi chiw ler e piny,
18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good.
mondo girit odiechiengʼ gotieno, kendo gipog ler koa kuom mudho. Nyasaye noneno ni mano ber.
19 There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
Piny noyuso kendo noru, ma en chiengʼ mar angʼwen.
20 God said, “Let the waters abound with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.”
Kendo Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Pi mondo opongʼ gi gik mangima, kendo winy mondo ofu ewi piny e kor polo.”
21 God created the large sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good.
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.
22 God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”
Nyasaye nogwedhogi kendo owacho niya, “Nywolreuru kendo umedru kuom kwan kendo upongʼ pi mag nembe kendo winy bende omedre e piny.”
23 There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
Kendo piny noyuso, kendo noru, ma en chiengʼ mar abich.
24 God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures after their kind, livestock, creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind;” and it was so.
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.
25 God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good.
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.
26 God said, “Let’s make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
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.”
27 God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.
Kuom mano Nyasaye nochweyo dhano e kite owuon, e kit Nyasaye nochweye; nochweyogi dichwo gi dhako.
28 God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, 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 on the earth.”
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.”
29 God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.
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.
30 To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so.
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.
31 God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
Nyasaye nongʼiyo gik moko duto mane osechweyo kendo noneno ni gibeyo ahinya. Piny noyuso kendo noru, ma en chiengʼ mar auchiel.
