Genesis 1
1 At the first God made the heaven and the earth.
Nan konmansman, Bondye kreye syèl la ak latè a.
2 And the earth was waste and without form; and it was dark on the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God was moving on the face of the waters.
Men latè pa t' gen fòm, li pa t' gen anyen sou li. Fènwa te kouvri toupatou. Lespri Bondye t'ap plane sou dlo ki te kouvri tout latè.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Bondye di. Se pou limyè fèt. Epi limyè te fèt.
4 And God, looking on the light, saw that it was good: and God made a division between the light and the dark,
Bondye wè limyè a te bon. Bondye mete limyè a yon bò, li mete fènwa a yon lòt bò.
5 Naming the light, Day, and the dark, Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
Bondye rele limyè a lajounen, li rele fènwa a lannwit. Yon lannwit pase, yon maten rive. Se te premye jou a.
6 And God said, Let there be a solid arch stretching over the waters, parting the waters from the waters.
Bondye di ankò. Se pou gen yon vout nan mitan dlo a pou separe dlo a an de.
7 And God made the arch for a division between the waters which were under the arch and those which were over it: and it was so.
Bondye fè vout la separe dlo a an de, yon pati anwo vout la, yon lòt pati anba l'. Se konsa sa te pase.
8 And God gave the arch the name of Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
Bondye rele vout la syèl. Yon lannwit pase, yon maten rive. Se te dezyèm jou a.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven come together in one place, and let the dry land be seen: and it was so.
Bondye di ankò. Se pou dlo ki anba syèl la sanble yon sèl kote pou kote ki sèk la ka parèt. Se konsa sa te pase.
10 And God gave the dry land the name of Earth; and the waters together in their place were named Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Bondye rele kote ki sèk la tè. Li rele pil dlo a lanmè. Bondye gade sa l' te fè a, li wè l' bon.
11 And God said, Let grass come up on the earth, and plants producing seed, and fruit-trees giving fruit, in which is their seed, after their sort: and it was so.
Bondye di. Se pou tè a pouse tout kalite plant: zèb, plant ki bay grenn, pyebwa ki bay fwi ak tout grenn yo. Se konsa sa te pase.
12 And grass came up on the earth, and every plant producing seed of its sort, and every tree producing fruit, in which is its seed, of its sort: and God saw that it was good.
Tè a pouse tout kalite plant: zèb, plant ki bay grenn, pyebwa ki bay fwi ak tout grenn yo. Bondye gade sa l' te fè a, li wè l' bon.
13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
Yon lannwit pase, yon maten rive. Se te twazyèm jou a.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the arch of heaven, for a division between the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for marking the changes of the year, and for days and for years:
Bondye di ankò. Se pou limyè parèt nan syèl la pou separe lajounen ak lannwit. Y'a sèvi pou make jou yo, lanne yo ak sezon yo.
15 And let them be for lights in the arch of heaven to give light on the earth: and it was so.
Y'a sèvi limyè nan syèl la pou klere tout latè a. Se konsa sa te pase.
16 And God made the two great lights: the greater light to be the ruler of the day, and the smaller light to be the ruler of the night: and he made the stars.
Bondye fè de gwo limyè, pi gwo a pou kòmande sou lajounen, pi piti a pou kòmande sou lannwit. Li fè zetwal yo tou.
17 And God put them in the arch of heaven, to give light on the earth;
Li mete yo nan syèl la pou klere latè a,
18 To have rule over the day and the night, and for a division between the light and the dark: and God saw that it was good.
pou kòmande sou lajounen ak sou lannwit, pou separe limyè ak fènwa. Bondye gade sa l' te fè a, li wè l' bon.
19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
Yon lannwit pase, yon maten rive. Se te katriyèm jou a.
20 And God said, Let the waters be full of living things, and let birds be in flight over the earth under the arch of heaven.
Bondye di ankò. Se pou dlo yo kale anpil anpil bèt vivan. Se pou zwazo vole nan syèl la anwo tè a. Se konsa sa te pase.
21 And God made great sea-beasts, and every sort of living and moving thing with which the waters were full, and every sort of winged bird: and God saw that it was good.
Bondye kreye gwo bèt lanmè yo, tout kalite bèt vivan k'ap naje nan dlo ansanm ak tout kalite zwazo. Bondye gade sa l' te fè a, li wè l' bon.
22 And God gave them his blessing, saying, Be fertile and have increase, making all the waters of the seas full, and let the birds be increased in the earth.
Bondye beni yo, li di. Fè pitit, fè anpil anpil pitit, plen dlo lanmè a. Se pou zwazo yo fè anpil anpil pitit tout sou tè a.
23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
Yon lannwit pase, yon maten rive. Se te senkyèm jou a.
24 And God said, Let the earth give birth to all sorts of living things, cattle and all things moving on the earth, and beasts of the earth after their sort: and it was so.
Bondye di ankò. Se pou tè a kale tout kalite bèt vivan, bèt yo gade, bèt ki trennen sou vant, bèt nan bwa. Se konsa sa te pase.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after its sort, and the cattle after their sort, and everything moving on the face of the earth after its sort: and God saw that it was good.
Bondye fè tout kalite bèt, bèt nan bwa, bèt yo gade, bèt ki trennen sou vant. Li gade sa l' te fè a, li wè l' bon.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, like us: and let him have rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every living thing which goes flat on the earth.
Bondye di ankò. Ann fè moun. N'ap fè l' pòtre ak nou, pou li sanble ak nou. La gen pouvwa sou pwason ki nan lanmè yo, sou zwazo ki nan syèl la, sou tout bèt yo gade, sou tout latè, sou tout bèt nan bwa, sou tout bèt ki trennen sou vant sou tè a.
27 And God made man in his image, in the image of God he made him: male and female he made them.
Bondye kreye moun. Li fè l' pòtre ak li. Li kreye yo gason ak fi.
28 And God gave them his blessing and said to them, Be fertile and have increase, and make the earth full and be masters of it; be rulers over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing moving on the earth.
Li ba yo benediksyon, li di. Fè pitit, fè anpil anpil pitit mete sou tè a. Donte tè a. Mwen ban nou pouvwa sou pwason ki nan lanmè, sou zwazo ki nan syèl la, ak sou tout bèt vivan k'ap mache sou tè a.
29 And God said, See, I have given you every plant producing seed, on the face of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit producing seed: they will be for your food:
Bondye di. Gade. Mwen ban nou tout kalite plant ki bay grenn ak tout kalite pyebwa ki bay fwi ak grenn pou nou manje.
30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the air and every living thing moving on the face of the earth I have given every green plant for food: and it was so.
Men, tout bèt ki sou tè a, tout zwazo ki nan syèl la, tout bèt ki trennen sou vant, wi tout bèt vivan, m'ap ba yo zèb vèt pou yo manje. Se konsa sa te pase.
31 And God saw everything which he had made and it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Bondye gade sa l' te fè a, li wè l' bon nèt. Yon lannwit pase, yon maten rive. Se te sizyèm jou a.
