Genesis 1
1 Long, long ago God created the heavens and the earth.
Bilowgii Ilaah samada iyo dhulkuu abuuray.
2 When he began to create the earth, it was shapeless and completely desolate/chaotic. Darkness covered the deep water that surrounded the earth. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the water.
Dhulkuna qaab ma lahayn, wuuna madhnaa; gudcurna moolkuu dul joogay; oo Ruuxa Ilaahna wuxuu ka dul dhaqdhaqaaqayay biyaha.
3 God said, “I want light to shine!” And light shone.
Ilaahna wuxuu yidhi, Iftiin ha ahaado: iftiin baana ahaaday.
4 God was pleased with the light. Then he made the light to shine in some places, and in other places there was still darkness.
Ilaahna wuxuu arkay iftiinkii inuu wanaagsan yahay: Ilaahna iftiinkii ayuu ka soocay gudcurkii.
5 He gave to the light the name ‘day’, and he gave to the darkness the name ‘night’. After that, there was an evening which was followed by a morning. He called that whole period of time ‘the first day’.
Ilaahna iftiinkii wuxuu u bixiyey Maalin, gudcurkiina wuxuu u bixiyey Habeen. Waxaana jiray fiid iyo subax, isla maalin ah.
6 Then God said, “I command that there be an empty space like a huge dome to separate the water that is above it from the water on the earth that is below it!”
Ilaahna wuxuu yidhi, Meel bannaani ha noqoto biyaha dhexdooda, oo iyadu biyaha ha ka soocdo biyaha.
7 And that is what happened. God gave to the space the name ‘sky’.
Markaasuu Ilaah sameeyey meeshii bannaanka ahayd, oo wuxuu biyihii bannaanka ka hooseeyey ka soocay kuwii bannaanka ka sarreeyey; sidaasayna ahaatay.
8 Then there was another evening, which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the second day’.
Ilaahna bannaankii wuxuu u bixiyey Samo. Waxaana jiray fiid iyo subax, maalintii labaad.
9 Then God said, “I want the water that is below the sky to come together, and dry ground to appear and rise above the water.” And that is what happened.
Ilaahna wuxuu yidhi, Biyaha samada ka hooseeya meel ha isugu soo urureen, oo ciidda engegani ha muuqato; sidaasayna ahaatay.
10 God gave to the ground the name ‘earth’, and he gave to the water that came together the name ‘oceans’. God was pleased with the earth and the oceans.
Markaasuu Ilaah ciiddii engegnayd u bixiyey Dhul; ururkii biyahana wuxuu u bixiyey Bado: oo Ilaah wuxuu arkay in taasu wanaagsan tahay.
11 Then God said, “I want the earth to produce plants, including plants that will produce seeds and trees that will produce fruit. Each kind of tree will bear its own kind of fruit.”
Ilaahna wuxuu yidhi, Dhulku ha soo bixiyo doog, iyo geedo yaryar oo iniino dhala, iyo geedo waaweyn oo midho caynkooda ah dhala, oo iniinahoodu ku dhex jiraan, oo dhulka ku kor yaal; sidaasayna ahaatay.
12 Then plants grew on the earth; each kind of plant began to produce its own kind of seed.
Dhulkiina wuxuu soo bixiyey doog, iyo geedo yaryar oo leh iniino caynkooda ah, iyo geedo waaweyn oo midho dhala, oo iniinahoodu ku dhex jiraan, iyagoo caynkooda ah, Ilaahna wuxuu arkay in taasu wanaagsan tahay.
13 Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. God called that period of time ‘the third day’.
Waxaana jiray fiid iyo subax, maalintii saddexaad.
14 Then God said, “I want a sun, a moon, and many stars to shine in the sky. The sun will shine in the daytime and the moon and stars will shine during the nighttime. By the changes in their appearance they will indicate the various seasons (OR, the times for special celebrations), and will enable people to know when days and years begin.
Ilaahna wuxuu yidhi, Iftiimmo ha ahaadeen meesha bannaan oo samada dhex ah si ay u kala soocaan maalinta iyo habeenka; oo ha u ahaadeen calaamooyin, iyo xilliyo, iyo maalmo iyo sannado;
15 I want them also to be like lights in the sky that will shine on the earth.” And that is what happened.
oo iftiimmo ha u noqdeen meeshii bannaanayd oo samada dhex ahayd si ay u iftiimiyaan dhulka dushiisa; sidaasayna ahaatay.
16 God made two of them that were like big lights. The bigger one, the sun, shines during the day and the smaller one, the moon, shines during the night. He also made the stars.
Oo Ilaah wuxuu sameeyey labada iftiin ee waaweyn; si uu iftiinka weynu u xukumo maalinta, iftiinka yaruna u xukumo habeenka; oo xiddigahana wuu sameeyey.
17 God set all of them in the sky to shine on the earth,
Ilaahna wuxuu iyaga dhigay meeshii bannaanayd oo samada dhex ahayd si ay dhulka u iftiimiyaan,
18 to rule the day and the night, and to separate the light of the daytime from the darkness of the nighttime. God was pleased with these things he had made.
oo ay u xukumaan maalinta iyo habeenka, oo ay iftiinka uga soocaan gudcurka, Ilaahna wuxuu arkay in taasu wanaagsan tahay.
19 Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fourth day’.
Oo waxaana jiray fiid iyo subax, maalintii afraad.
20 Then God said, “I want many creatures to live in all the oceans, and I also want birds to fly in the sky above the earth.”
Oo Ilaah wuxuu yidhi, Biyuhu aad ha u soo bixiyeen uun dhaqdhaqaaqa oo badan, oo naf nool leh, haadduna ha duusho dhulka dushiisa xagga meeshii bannaanayd oo samada dhex ahayd.
21 So God created huge sea creatures and every other kind of creature that moves in the water, and caused them to live in all the oceans. He also created many kinds of birds. God was pleased with all those creatures.
Oo Ilaah wuxuu abuuray nibiriyada badda oo waaweyn, iyo uun kasta oo nool oo dhaqdhaqaaqa, ee biyuhu aad u soo bixiyeen iyagoo badan, oo caynkooda oo kale dhala, iyo haad kasta oo caynkiisa dhala; Ilaahna wuxuu arkay in taasu wanaagsan tahay.
22 God blessed them. He said, “Produce offspring and become very numerous. I want the creatures in the water to live in all the oceans, and birds also to become very numerous.” And that is what happened.
Oo Ilaah baa barakeeyey iyaga, isagoo leh, Wax badan dhala, oo tarma, oo biyaha badaha ka buuxsama, haadduna ha ku tarmeen dhulka.
23 Then there was another evening that was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fifth day’.
Oo waxaana jiray fiid iyo subax, maalintii shanaad.
24 Then God said, “I want various kinds of creatures to appear on the earth. There will be many kinds of (livestock/domestic animals), creatures that scurry across the ground, and large wild animals.” And that is what happened.
Oo Ilaah wuxuu yidhi, Dhulku ha soo bixiyo uun nool oo caynkiisa dhala, kuwaasoo ah xoolo, iyo waxa gurguurta, iyo dugaagga dhulka oo caynkooda dhala; sidaasayna ahaatay.
25 God made all kinds of wild animals and (livestock/domestic animals) and all kinds of creatures that scurry across the ground. God was pleased with all these creatures.
Ilaahna wuxuu sameeyey dugaagga dhulka oo caynkiisa dhala, iyo xoolo caynkooda dhala, iyo wax kasta oo dhulka gurguurta oo caynkiisa dhala; Ilaahna wuxuu arkay in taasu wanaagsan tahay.
26 Then God said, “Now we will make human beings that will be like us in many ways. I want them to rule over the fish in the sea, over the birds, over all the (livestock/domestic animals), and over all the other creatures that scurry across the ground.”
Ilaahna wuxuu yidhi, Aan nin inoo eg ka samayno araggeenna, oo iyagu ha xukumeen kalluunka badda, iyo haadda hawada, iyo xoolaha, iyo dhulka oo dhan, iyo waxa dhulka gurguurta oo dhan.
27 So God created human beings that were like him in many ways. He made them to be like himself. He created some to be male and some to be female.
Oo Ilaah nin buu ka abuuray araggiisa, Ilaah araggiisa ayuu ka abuuray isaga; lab iyo dhaddig ayuu abuuray.
28 God blessed them, saying, “Produce many children, who will live all over the earth and rule over it. I want them to rule over the fish and the birds and over all creatures that scurry across the ground.”
Oo Ilaah waa barakeeyey iyaga; oo Ilaah wuxuu iyaga ku yidhi, Wax badan dhala oo tarma, oo dhulka ka buuxsama, oo ka sara mara dhulka, oo xukuma kalluunka badda, iyo haadda hawada, iyo wax kasta oo nool oo dhulka kor dhaqdhaqaaqa.
29 God said to the humans, “Listen! I have given you all the plants that produce seeds, all over the earth, and all the trees that have seeds in their fruit. All these things are for you to eat.
Oo Ilaah wuxuu yidhi, Bal eeg, waxaan idin siiyey geed kasta oo yar oo iniino dhala, oo ku yaal dhulka dushiisa oo dhan, iyo geed kasta oo weyn, kaasoo midho leh, iniinona dhala; oo waxay idiin noqon doonaan cunto;
30 I have given all the green plants to all the wild animals and to the birds and to all the creatures that scurry across the ground, to everything that breathes, for them to eat.” And that is what happened.
oo dugaag kasta oo dhulka jooga, iyo haad kasta oo hawada duula, iyo wax kasta oo dhulka gurguurta, oo naf nool leh ayaan geed kasta oo cagaar ah cunto u siiyey; sidaasayna ahaatay.
31 God was pleased with everything that he had made. Truly, it was all very good. Then there was another evening, that was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the sixth day’.
Oo Ilaah wuxuu arkay wax kasta oo uu sameeyey, oo bal eeg, aad bay u wanaagsanaayeen. Waxaana jiray fiid iyo subax, maalintii lixaad.
