+ Genesis 1 >

1 In the beginning, God created heaven and earth.
Fefeu na, Lamatualain naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ lalai no raefafoꞌ a.
2 But the earth was empty and unoccupied, and darknesses were over the face of the abyss; and so the Spirit of God was brought over the waters.
Leleꞌ naa, raefafoꞌ a nda feꞌe dadꞌi sa, ma basaꞌ e feꞌe runggu-ranggaꞌ. Feꞌe akaꞌ a, oeꞌ ma maꞌahatuꞌ a tatana nala e. Lamatualain Dula-dale Na laa-laa sia oeꞌ ata.
3 And God said, “Let there be light.” And light became.
Boe ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ nae, “Manggareloꞌ dadꞌi.” Ana olaꞌ basa ma, manggareloꞌ a dadꞌi tuteꞌ a.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and so he divided the light from the darknesses.
Ana nita manggareloꞌ a ma, rala Na namahoꞌo, huu saa fo Eni taoꞌ naa, maloleꞌ. Basa de, Ana tadꞌa manggareloꞌ mia hatuꞌ a, de esa-esaꞌ no fai na.
5 And he called the light, ‘Day,’ and the darknesses, ‘Night.’ And it became evening and morning, one day.
Ana babꞌae manggareloꞌ a ‘rereloꞌ’, ma hatuꞌ a, ‘tetembaꞌ’. Naa, fai kaesa na.
6 God also said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide waters from waters.”
Basa ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Mamana rouꞌ sa dadꞌi, fo tadꞌa oeꞌ a. Naa fo, hambu oeꞌ sia ataꞌ, ma sia raeꞌ boe.” Ana olaꞌ basa ma, oeꞌ a banggi neu rua tuteꞌ a.
7 And God made a firmament, and he divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament. And so it became.
8 And God called the firmament ‘Heaven.’ And it became evening and morning, the second day.
Ana babꞌae oeꞌ mana sia ataꞌ a, ‘lalai’. Naa, fai karua na.
9 Truly God said: “Let the waters that are under heaven be gathered together into one place; and let the dry land appear.” And so it became.
Basa ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ fai nae, “Oe mana sia raeꞌ a musi naꞌabꞌue neu mamanaꞌ esa, fo hambu rae madꞌa.” Ana olaꞌ basa ma, rae madꞌa a dadꞌi tuteꞌ a.
10 And God called the dry land, ‘Earth,’ and he called the gathering of the waters, ‘Seas.’ And God saw that it was good.
Ana babꞌae rae madꞌa a, ‘madꞌa ata’; ma oe mana maꞌabꞌueꞌ a, ‘tasiꞌ’. Ana nita basa naa ra ma, rala Na namahoꞌo, huu saa fo Eni taoꞌ naa ra, memaꞌ maloleꞌ.
11 And he said, “Let the land spring forth green plants, both those producing seed, and fruit-bearing trees, producing fruit according to their kind, whose seed is within itself, over all the earth.” And so it became.
Boe ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ fai nae, “Hau-hau musi mori sia madꞌaꞌ ata. Musi hambu hau mabꞌoaꞌ, madekeꞌ, ma maroo modꞌoꞌ. Naa fo, hau ra esa-esaꞌ mbule-bꞌoa na tungga mata na.” Ana olaꞌ basa ma, basa hau ra dadꞌi tuteꞌ a.
12 And the land brought forth green plants, both those producing seed, according to their kind, and trees producing fruit, with each having its own way of sowing, according to its species. And God saw that it was good.
Ma hau naa ra mbule-bꞌoa nara esa-esaꞌ tungga mata na, losa rasofe madꞌaꞌ ata. Ana nita basa naa ra ma, rala Na namahoꞌo, huu saa fo Eni taoꞌ naa ra, memaꞌ maloleꞌ.
13 And it became evening and the morning, the third day.
Naa, fai katelu na.
14 Then God said: “Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven. And let them divide day from night, and let them become signs, both of the seasons, and of the days and years.
Boe ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ fai nae, “Sia ataꞌ musi hambu manggareloꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ fo raronda neu raefafoꞌ ia. Musi hambu mana fee manggareloꞌ neu fai rereloꞌ, ma mana fee manggareloꞌ neu fai tetembaꞌ. Basa naa ra, dadꞌi tatandaꞌ fo bisa reken fai, too, no fula-fai.” Ana olaꞌ basa ma, manggareloꞌ ra dadꞌi tuteꞌ a.
15 Let them shine in the firmament of heaven and illuminate the earth.” And so it became.
16 And God made two great lights: a greater light, to rule over the day, and a lesser light, to rule over the night, along with the stars.
Ana tao manggarelo monaeꞌ mataꞌ rua. Manggarelo monaeꞌ a naronda rereloꞌ ma manggarelo anadikiꞌ a naronda tetembaꞌ. Ana o tao nduuꞌ ra boe.
17 And he set them in the firmament of heaven, to give light over all the earth,
Ma Ana ator basa naa ra sia lalai, fo raronda neu raefafoꞌ a.
18 and to rule over the day as well as the night, and to divide light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.
De ara fee manggareloꞌ neu rereloꞌ ma tetembaꞌ. No taꞌo naa, ara tadꞌa manggareloꞌ mia hatuꞌ a. Ana nita basa naa ra ma, rala Na namahoꞌo, huu saa fo Eni taoꞌ naa ra, memaꞌ maloleꞌ.
19 And it became evening and morning, the fourth day.
Naa, fai kahaa na.
20 And then God said, “Let the waters produce animals with a living soul, and flying creatures above the earth, under the firmament of heaven.”
Basa ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ fai nae, “Banda mataꞌ-mataꞌ musi rasodꞌa sia oeꞌ rala. Ma mbuiꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ musi ratambembele sia raefafoꞌ ata.”
21 And God created the great sea creatures, and everything with a living soul and the ability to move that the waters produced, according to their species, and all the flying creatures, according to their kind. And God saw that it was good.
Boe ma Ana naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ basa uꞌu mataꞌ-mataꞌ no banda monaeꞌ mana rasodꞌa sia oeꞌ. Ana o naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ mbuiꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ fo ratambembele sia lalai. Ana nita basa naa ra ma, rala Na namahoꞌo, huu saa fo Eni taoꞌ naa ra, memaꞌ maloleꞌ.
22 And he blessed them, saying: “Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea. And let the birds be multiplied above the land.”
Basa ma Ana olaꞌ fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu basa banda ra nae, “Uꞌu ra musi ramaheta, fo rasofe oeꞌ a sia bee-bꞌee. Ma mbuiꞌ ra o musi ramaheta boe.”
23 And it became evening and morning, the fifth day.
Naa, fai kalima na.
24 God also said, “Let the land produce living souls in their kind: cattle, and animals, and wild beasts of the earth, according to their species.” And so it became.
Basa ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ fai nae, “Banda mataꞌ-mataꞌ musi rasodꞌa sia madꞌaꞌ ata. Musi hambu banda neꞌebꞌoiꞌ, banda fui, ma banda mana nodꞌoꞌ sia rae, esa-esaꞌ no mata na.” Ana olaꞌ basa ma, basa se dadꞌi tuteꞌ a. Ana nita basa se ma, rala Na namahoꞌo, huu saa fo Eni taoꞌ naa ra, memaꞌ maloleꞌ.
25 And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their species, and the cattle, and every animal on the land, according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 And he said: “Let us make Man to our image and likeness. And let him rule over the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the air, and the wild beasts, and the entire earth, and every animal that moves on the earth.”
Basa ma Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ fai nae, “Ima fo Ata tao atahori tungga onaꞌ Hita boe. Naa fo, ara tao mataꞌ neu uꞌu ra sia tasi, mbuiꞌ ra sia lalai, banda neꞌeboiꞌ ra, ma basa banda feaꞌ mana masodꞌa sia raefafoꞌ a.”
27 And God created man to his own image; to the image of God he created him; male and female, he created them.
Boe ma Ana naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ atahori onaꞌ mata ao Na boe. Ana naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ se, touꞌ no inaꞌ.
28 And God blessed them, and he said, “Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
Ma Ana olaꞌ fee se papala-babꞌanggiꞌ nae, “Hei musi bꞌonggi mimihefu, fo misofe raefafoꞌ ia, ma tao mataꞌ neu e. Au o fee hei koasa fo tao mataꞌ neu uꞌu ra, mbuiꞌ ra, ma basa banda madꞌaꞌ ata ra.
29 And God said: “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant upon the earth, and all the trees that have in themselves the ability to sow their own kind, to be food for you,
Rena malolole! Au fee hei nanaat mataꞌ-mataꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia. Au fee hau mabꞌoaꞌ, madekeꞌ, ma maroo modꞌoꞌ ra.
30 and for all the animals of the land, and for all the flying things of the air, and for everything that moves upon the earth and in which there is a living soul, so that they may have these on which to feed.” And so it became.
Au o fee basa hau mataꞌ-mataꞌ, fo dadꞌi basa banda ra nanaat na. Nanaat soaꞌ neu banda neꞌeboiꞌ, banda fui, banda mana nodꞌoꞌ, ma mbuiꞌ ra.” Ana olaꞌ basa ma, basa nanaat mataꞌ-mataꞌ dadꞌi tuteꞌ a.
31 And God saw everything that he had made. And they were very good. And it became evening and morning, the sixth day.
Ana nita basa naa ra ma, rala Na namahoꞌo, huu saa fo Eni taoꞌ naa ra, memaꞌ maloleꞌ. Naa, fai kanee na.
