Genesis 5
1 Here is a list of the descendants of Adam. When God created humans, he caused them to be like him in many ways.
Esiae nye Adam ƒe dzidzimeviwo ƒe ŋkuɖodzigbalẽ. Esi Mawu wɔ amegbetɔ la ewɔe ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe nɔnɔme.
2 He created one man and one woman. He blessed them, and on the day that he created them, he called them ‘human beings’.
