Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Ahyɛaseɛ no Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ɔsoro ne asase.
2 And the earth was waste and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
Na asase yɛ sakasaka ne hunu. Na esum kata nsubunu no ani. Na Onyankopɔn honhom butu nsuo no ani.
3 And God said, Let there be light. And there was light.
Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ sɛ, ɛnyɛ hann! Na ɛyɛɛ hann.
4 And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided between the light and the darkness.
Onyankopɔn hunuu sɛ hann no yɛ enti, ɔtee hann no firii esum no ho.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening, and there was morning — the first day.
Onyankopɔn frɛɛ hann no sɛ adekyeeɛ, na esum no nso sɛ adesaeɛ. Adeɛ saeɛ na adeɛ kyeeɛ, ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no no.
6 And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a division between waters and waters.
Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Nkyɛmu mmra nsuo no ntam, na ɛnkyekyɛ nsuo no mu.”
7 And God made the expanse, and divided between the waters that are under the expanse and the waters that are above the expanse; and it was so.
Enti, Onyankopɔn yɛɛ nkyɛmu no de kyekyɛɛ nsuo a ɛwɔ nkyɛmu no ase firii nsuo a ɛwɔ nkyɛmu no atifi no mu. Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
8 And God called the expanse Heavens. And there was evening, and there was morning — a second day.
Onyankopɔn too atifi nkyɛmu no edin ewiem. Na esum duruiɛ ɛnna adeɛ kyeeɛ; yei ne ɛda a ɛtɔ so mmienu.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry [land] appear. And it was so.
Na Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Nsuo a ɛwɔ nkyɛmu no ase no ano mmoa wɔ faako, na asase kesee nna ne ho adi.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
10 And God called the dry [land] Earth, and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
Onyankopɔn too beaeɛ kesee no edin asase. Ɛnna nsuo a ɛboaa ne ho ano no nso, ɔtoo no edin ɛpo. Onyankopɔn hunuu sɛ ɛyɛ.
11 And God said, Let the earth cause grass to spring up, herb producing seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, the seed of which is in them, on the earth. And it was so.
Afei, Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Afifideɛ mfifiri asase so; afifideɛ a ɛso aba, nnuaba ahodoɔ a ɛso aba ne deɛ, nʼaba hyehyɛ mu nyinaa mfifiri asase so.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, herb producing seed after its kind, and trees yielding fruit, the seed of which is in them, after their kind. And God saw that it was good.
Afifideɛ a ɛso aba ne nnua fifirii asase so na nʼaba no nyini yɛɛ nnua ne afifideɛ sɛ ne sɛso. Onyankopɔn hunuu sɛ, ɛyɛ.
13 And there was evening, and there was morning — a third day.
Na adeɛ saeɛ ɛnna adeɛ kyeeɛ. Yei ne ɛda a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;
Na Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Hann mmra nkyɛmu a ɛwɔ ewiem no mu mmɛpae adekyeeɛ ne adesaeɛ mu. Na ɛmmɛyɛ nnyinasoɔ mma ɛberɛ nkyekyɛmu, nna ne mfeɛ
15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so.
na ɛmma hann mmra nkyɛmu a ɛwɔ ewiem no mu, na ahyerɛn wɔ asase so.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
16 And God made the two great lights, the great light to rule the day, and the small light to rule the night, — and the stars.
Onyankopɔn yɛɛ nkanea akɛseɛ mmienu a ɛyɛ owia ne ɔbosome sɛ, owia no nni adekyeeɛ so na ɔbosome no nni anadwo so. Ɔbɔɔ nsoromma nso.
17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth,
Onyankopɔn de nkanea akɛseɛ mmienu yi sii nkyɛmu ewiem no mu sɛ, ɛnhyerɛn wɔ asase so,
18 and to rule during the day and during the night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
na wɔnni adekyeeɛ ne adesaeɛ no so, na ɛnte hann no mfiri esum no ho. Na Onyankopɔn hunuu sɛ, ɛyɛ.
19 And there was evening, and there was morning — a fourth day.
Na adeɛ saeɛ, ɛnna adeɛ kyeeɛ. Ɛda a ɛtɔ so ɛnan ne no.
20 And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living souls, and let fowl fly above the earth in the expanse of the heavens.
Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Abɔdeɛ a nkwa wɔ mu nhyɛ nsuo no ma, na nnomaa ntu mfa asase ne nkyɛmu a ɛwɔ ewiem no so.”
21 And God created the great sea monsters, and every living soul that moves with which the waters swarm, after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Enti, Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ɛpo mu mmoa akɛseɛ ne mmoa ahodoɔ nyinaa a wɔwɔ nkwa na wɔkeka wɔn ho ne nnomaa ahodoɔ nyinaa. Na Onyankopɔn hunuu sɛ ɛyɛ.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply on the earth.
Onyankopɔn hyiraa abɔdeɛ no nyinaa so, ɛnna ɔkaa sɛ, “Monwo na monyɛ bebree na monhyɛ ɛpo no ma, na nnomaa ase ntrɛ wɔ asase so.”
23 And there was evening, and there was morning — a fifth day.
Na adeɛ saeɛ ɛnna adeɛ kyeeɛ. Ɛda a, ɛtɔ so enum ne no.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth living souls after their kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth, after their kind. And it was so.
Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Abɔdeɛ a nkwa wɔ mu ahodoɔ nyinaa ne wɔn sɛso, anantwie ne mmoa a wɔwea wɔn afuru so ne mmoa ahodoɔ a wɔyɛ keka a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa mmra asase so.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Onyankopɔn bɔɔ mmoa ahodoɔ, anantwie ahodoɔ ne wɔn sɛso ne mmoa a, wɔwea wɔn afuru so ne wɔn sɛso. Na Onyankopɔn hunuu sɛ, ɛyɛ.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over the whole earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth on the earth.
Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Momma yɛmmɔ onipa sɛ yɛn sɛso, na ɔnni ɛpo mu mpataa, ewiem nnomaa, anantwie ne mmoa a wɔyɛ keka ne biribiara a ɛwea nʼafuru so wɔ asase so.”
27 And God created Man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Enti, Onyankopɔn bɔɔ onipa sɛ ne sɛso; Onyankopɔn sɛso so na ɔbɔɔ wɔn; ɔbaa ne ɔbarima na ɔbɔɔ wɔn.
28 And God blessed them; and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over every animal that moveth on the earth.
Onyankopɔn hyiraa wɔn, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monwo na monyɛ asase so ma, na monni biribiara so. Monni ɛpo mu mpataa ne ewiem nnomaa ne abɔdeɛ biara a, nkwa wɔ mu a, ɛwɔ asase so no nyinaa so.”
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb producing seed that is on the whole earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree producing seed: it shall be food for you;
Afei, Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Mede asase so afifideɛ a ɛso aba nyinaa, afifideɛ biara a aba hyɛ ne nnuaba mu wɔ asase yi so nyinaa hyɛ wo nsa. Ɛbɛyɛ wʼaduane.
30 and to every animal of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth on the earth, in which is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it was so.
Mede nhahammono nyinaa ama aboa biara a ɔwɔ asase so, anomaa biara a ɔwɔ ewiem, biribiara a ɛwea nʼafuru so, biribiara a nkwa wɔ mu wɔ asase so sɛ wɔn aduane.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning — the sixth day.
Onyankopɔn hwɛɛ deɛ wayɛ nyinaa hunuu sɛ ɛyɛ papa. Na adeɛ saeɛ na adeɛ kyeeɛ. Yei ne ɛda a ɛtɔ so nsia.
