Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heauen and the earth.
Na mmalite Chineke kere eluigwe na ụwa.
2 And the earth was without forme and void, and darkenesse was vpon the deepe, and the Spirit of God mooued vpon the waters.
Ụwa bụ ihe na-enweghị ụdịdị ọbụla, bụrụkwa ihe tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Ọchịchịrị gbara nʼelu ogbu mmiri dị omimi. Mmụọ nke Chineke na-erugharị nʼelu ogbu mmiri ahụ.
3 Then God said, Let there be light: And there was light.
Mgbe ahụ Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka ìhè dị,” ìhè dịkwara.
4 And God saw the light that it was good, and God separated the light from the darkenes.
Chineke hụrụ na ìhè ahụ mara mma. Ọ kpara oke nʼetiti ìhè na ọchịchịrị.
5 And God called the Light, Day, and the darkenes, he called Night. So the euening and the morning were the first day.
Chineke kpọrọ ìhè ahụ Ehihie, kpọọ ọchịchịrị ahụ Abalị. Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke mbụ.
6 Againe God said, Let there be a firmament in the mids of the waters: and let it separate the waters from the waters.
Chineke kwukwara sị, “Ka mbara pụta nke ga-ekewapụ mmiri dị nʼelu mbara ahụ site na mmiri nke dị nʼokpuru mbara ahụ”
7 Then God made the firmament, and separated the waters, which were vnder the firmament, from the waters which were aboue the firmament: and it was so.
Ya mere, Chineke mere mbara, kewapụ mmiri dị nʼokpuru mbara ahụ site na mmiri nke dị nʼelu mbara ahụ. O sikwa otu a dịrị.
8 And God called the firmament Heauen. So the Euening and the morning were the second day.
Mbara ahụ ka Chineke kpọrọ mbara eluigwe. Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke abụọ.
9 God said againe, Let the waters vnder the heauen be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appeare. and it was so.
Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka mmiri dị nʼokpuru mbara eluigwe chịkọta onwe ha ọnụ nʼotu ebe, ka ala akọrọ pụta.” O sikwa otu a dịrị.
10 And God called the dry land, Earth, and he called the gathering together of the waters, Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Chineke kpọrọ ala akọrọ ahụ “ala,” kpọọ mmiri ahụ chịkọtara onwe ha ọnụ “osimiri.” Chineke lere anya hụ na ha dị mma.
11 Then God said, Let the earth bud forth the bud of the herbe, that seedeth seed, the fruitfull tree, which beareth fruite according to his kinde, which hath his seede in it selfe vpon the earth: and it was so.
Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka ala pupụta ahịhịa ndụ dị iche iche: ahịhịa na-amịpụta mkpụrụ, na osisi dị nʼelu ala nke na-amịpụta mkpụrụ, nke mkpụrụ ọkụkụ ya dị nʼime ya, dịka ụdịdị ha dị iche iche si dị.” O sikwa otu a dịrị.
12 And the earth brought foorth the bud of the herbe, that seedeth seede according to his kind, also the tree that beareth fruit, which hath his seed in it selfe according to his kinde: and God saw that it was good.
Ala puputara ahịhịa ndụ dị iche iche: ahịhịa na-amịpụta mkpụrụ dịka ụdịdị ha si dị, na osisi na-amịpụta mkpụrụ, nke mkpụrụ ọkụkụ ya dị nʼime ya, dịka ụdịdị ha si dị. Chineke lere anya hụ na ọ dị mma.
13 So the euening and the morning were the third day.
Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke atọ.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heauen, to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signes, and for seasons, and for dayes and yeeres.
Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka ìhè nke na-enye ìhè dịrị na mbara eluigwe, ikewapụ ehihie site nʼabalị. Ka ha bụrụ ihe ama igosi oge dị iche iche, ụbọchị dị iche iche, na afọ dị iche iche.
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heauen to giue light vpon the earth: and it was so.
Ka ha bụrụ ìhè na mbara eluigwe inye ìhè nʼelu ụwa.” O si otu a dịrị.
16 God then made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesse light to rule the night: he made also the starres.
Chineke mere ìhè ukwu abụọ, nke kacha ịdị ukwu ka ọ bụrụ nke ga-achị ehihie, ma nke dị nta ka ọ bụrụ nke ga-achị abalị. O mekwara kpakpando dị iche iche.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heauen, to shine vpon the earth,
Chineke debere ha na mbara eluigwe inye ìhè nʼụwa,
18 And to rule in the day, and in the night, and to separate the light from the darkenesse: and God saw that it was good.
ịchị ehihie na abalị na ịkpa oke nʼetiti ìhè na ọchịchịrị. Chineke lere anya hụ na ọ dị mma.
19 So the euening and the morning were the fourth day.
Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke anọ.
20 Afterward God said, Let the waters bring foorth in abundance euery creeping thing that hath life: and let the foule flie vpon the earth in the open firmament of the heauen.
Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka mmiri jupụta nʼihe ndị na-eku ume, ka ụmụ anụ ufe fegharịkwa nʼelu ụwa, ma nʼelu mbara igwe.”
21 Then God created the great whales, and euery thing liuing and mouing, which the waters brought foorth in abundance according to their kinde, and euery fethered foule according to his kinde: and God sawe that it was good.
Ya mere Chineke kere anụ ukwu niile bi na mmiri, na anụ niile nwere ndụ bi na mmiri, na ụdị ihe ọbụla nwere ndụ na-akpụgharị akpụgharị ndị jupụtara na mmiri, dịka ụdịdị ha si dị, na anụ ufe niile dịka ụdịdị ha si dị. Chineke lere anya hụ na ọ dị mma.
22 Then God blessed them, saying, Bring foorth fruite and multiplie, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the foule multiplie in the earth.
Chineke gọziri ha, sị ha, “Mụbaanụ, dịkwanụ ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ, jupụtanụ osimiri niile. Ka anụ ufe dịkwa ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ nʼelu ụwa.”
23 So the euening and the morning were the fifte day.
Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke ise.
24 Moreouer God said, Let the earth bring foorth the liuing thing according to his kinde, cattel, and that which creepeth, and the beast of the earth, according to his kinde. and it was so.
Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka ala wepụta ụmụ anụ dị iche iche nwere ndụ dịka ụdịdị ha si dị: anụ ụlọ, anụ na-akpụgharị nʼala, na anụ ọhịa, nke ọbụla dịka ụdịdị ya si dị.” O si otu a dịrị.
25 And God made the beast of the earth according to his kinde, and the cattell according to his kinde, and euery creeping thing of the earth according to his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Chineke mere ụmụ anụ ọhịa, dịka ụdịdị ha si dị, mee anụ ụlọ, dịka ụdịdị ha si dị, na anụ niile nwere ndụ nke na-akpụgharị nʼala dịka ụdịdị ha si dị. Chineke lere anya hụ na ọ dị mma.
26 Furthermore God said, Let vs make man in our image according to our likenes, and let them rule ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the heauen, and ouer the beastes, and ouer all the earth, and ouer euery thing that creepeth and moueth on the earth.
Mgbe ahụ, Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka anyị mee mmadụ nʼoyiyi anyị, dịka ụdịdị anyị si dị, ka ha chịa azụ niile nke osimiri, na anụ ufe niile nke eluigwe, na anụ ụlọ niile, na anụ ọhịa niile, na ihe niile e kere eke nwere ndụ nke na-akpụ akpụ nʼala.”
27 Thus God created the man in his image: in the image of God created he him: he created them male and female.
Ya mere, Chineke kere mmadụ nʼoyiyi nke ya, nʼoyiyi Chineke ka o kere ha, nwoke na nwanyị ka o kere ha.
28 And God blessed them, and God said to them, Bring forth fruite and multiplie, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the heauen, and ouer euery beast that moueth vpon the earth.
Chineke gọziri ha sị ha, “Mịanụ mkpụrụ, mụbaanụ, jupụtanụ nʼụwa, meenụ ka ihe niile dịrị nʼokpuru unu. Chịanụ azụ niile nke osimiri na anụ ufe niile nke eluigwe na ihe niile e kere dị ndụ nke na-akpụgharị akpụgharị nʼala.”
29 And God said, Beholde, I haue giuen vnto you euery herbe bearing seede, which is vpon al the earth, and euery tree, wherein is the fruite of a tree bearing seede: that shall be to you for meate.
Mgbe ahụ, Chineke sịrị “Enyela m unu ahịhịa ubi niile na-amị mkpụrụ dị nʼelu ụwa, na osisi ọbụla mịrị mkpụrụ, nke mkpụrụ ọkụkụ ya dị nʼime ha, ka ha bụrụ ihe oriri gị.
30 Likewise to euery beast of the earth, and to euery foule of the heauen, and to euery thing that moueth vpon the earth, which hath life in it selfe, euery greene herbe shall be for meate. and it was so.
Ma ụmụ anụmanụ niile na anụ ufe niile, na anụ niile e kere eke na-akpụgharị akpụgharị nʼala, anụ ọbụla nwere ndụ nʼime ha ka m na-enye ahịhịa ndụ niile ka ọ bụrụ ihe oriri ha.”
31 And God sawe all that he had made, and loe, it was very good. So the euening and the morning were the sixt day.
Chineke legharịrị anya nʼihe o kere, hụ na ọ dị ezi mma. Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke isii.
