+ Genesis 1 >

1 Long, long ago God created the heavens and the earth.
Ese agafare Anumzamo'a monane mopane trohu'ne.
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.
Ama mopama fore osu'nerera, mago zana omnetfa hu'neane. Hankino tusi'a hanimo tina refite'negeno, ana timofo agofetura Anumzamofo Avamumo vono nehiane.
3 God said, “I want light to shine!” And light shone.
Anante Anumzamo'a huno, Masa fore hino! higeno masa fore hu'ne.
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.
Hagi masamo'a knare higeno Anumzamo'a keteno, masane haninena refko hu'ne.
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’.
Anumzamo'a masagura zagegane huno agi'a nemino, kumazukura hanine huno agi'a ami'ne. Hanki hani huno ko'matigeno'a, pusankna emente'ne.
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!”
Hagi tinke me'negeno Anumzamo'a huno, Mago kankamu amu'nompina me'neno tina refko hanie.
7 And that is what happened. God gave to the space the name ‘sky’.
Huteno Anumzamo'a tina refkohu fenka netreno, hunagamu atregeno, kankamu efore hu'ne.
8 Then there was another evening, which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the second day’.
Anumzamo'a ana kankmumofona agi'a mone huno ante'ne. Hanki haninkino masa higeno, nampa 2 kna emente'ne.
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.
Anante Anumzamo'a huno, Timo'a monamofo hinkanaga mago kaziga eri zogino evanigeno, ho'mu mopa fore hanie, huno higeno anaza efore hu'ne.
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.
Anumzamo'a hagagema hiankazigagura mope nehuno, tima evazu huno omeri atruma hiantinkura, hagerine huno hu'ne. Anumzamo'ma anazama kegeno'a, e'i knare hu'ne.
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.”
Hagi Anumzamo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Mopafinti maka'za hagesie. Za'ara zane zafane rumofo rumofo raga'a revava hanaza zantamimo'za hagesaze. Ragazmifina avima'a efore hanie! Hanige'za zafa rgama rentesazana e'i zamagu'afinka avima'amo'za zamagri'agna raga rentesaze. Hige'za mopafina ana zantamimo'za efore hu'naze.
12 Then plants grew on the earth; each kind of plant began to produce its own kind of seed.
Ana nehazage'za mopafina ruzahu ruzahu trazana erifore nehazageno, ruzahu ruzahu ne'zampina avima'a me'nea rentageno, avima'amo'a agragna raga fore nehigeno, zafa rgama renteana e'i agu'afinka avima'amo'za zamagri'agna huno nemegeno, avima'a rentetere hu'ne. Hanki Anumzamo'ma anazantamima kegeno'a knare hu'ne.
13 Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. God called that period of time ‘the third day’.
Haninkino masa higeno nampa 3 kna emente'ne.
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.
Hagi Anumzamo'a huno, Tavitamimo'za mona kankamumpi me'neza, masane haninena refko nehu'za, kafugi, zagegi, ko knagi hanagu nemesageno,
15 I want them also to be like lights in the sky that will shine on the earth.” And that is what happened.
ana tavitamimo'za mona kankamumpi efore hu'za me'neza mopamofona remasa hanaze, hige'za ana zantamina fore hu'naze.
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.
Anumzamo'a tusi'a tavi tre tro hu'ne. Rantavimo feru remasa hanigu zage tro nehuno, rankna tavi hanimpi remasa hanigu, ika tro nehuno, ofuntaminena tro hu'ne.
17 God set all of them in the sky to shine on the earth,
Anumzamo'a mopamofoma masama amisanagure huno mona kankamumpina tavitamina zamante'ne.
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.
E'i ana tavi'mo'za hanimpine masafinema remasama hanagure huno zamante'ne. Anumzamo'ma anazantamima kegeno'a knare hu'ne.
19 Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fourth day’.
Hagi haninkino masa higeno, nampa 4kna emente'ne.
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.”
Anante Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Timpina nozame zagane, zamasimu ante'za manisaza zagamo'za efore hu'za ruvinetesageno, mona kankamumpina namazagamo'za efore hu'za hare'za vano hugahaze.
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.
Hagi anante Anumzamo'a tusinasi nozameramine, osifaveramina trohuno hagerimpina zamagrite zamagrite zamantege'za timpina avite'za mani'neza kaza kaza hu'za vano nehaze. Hanki namazaga zamagri kna huno tro huzmante'ne. Anumzamo'ma anazama keana knare hu'ne.
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.
Anumzamo'a asomu ke hunezmanteno amanage hu'ne, kase hakare huta hagerimpina mani aviteta nemaninkeno, namamo'zanena mopafina kase hakare hu'za mani titipa hiho.
23 Then there was another evening that was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fifth day’.
Hagi haninkino masa higeno, nampa 5fu kna emente'ne.
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.
Anumzamo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Mopafina miko zagagafa rumofo rumofo fore hanaze. Kumate zagagafagi, afi zagagafagi, ne'onse zagaramine, zamagragna rumofo rumofo fore hu anante anante hiho. Anage higeno maka ana zagaramina fore hu'naze.
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.
Hanki Anumzamo'a zagagafa tro hu'neana, trampi mani zagagafa zamagri kna tro nehuno, nontegama mani zagagafa zamagri kna tro nehuno, mopafi ne'onse zagaramina zamagri kna tro hu'ne. Anumzamo'ma anazama kegeno'a knare hu'ne.
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.”
Hagi Anumzamo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Vahe tro hamnena tagrikna hu'za manine'za, maka'za kva nehu'za nozameramine, hare'za vano nehaza namaramine, kumate zagagafane, mopafima kazama hu'za vanoma nehaza zagarami kegava hugahaze.
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.
Hagi Anumzamo'ma vahe'ma tro hu'neana, Agra'agna tro hu'ne. Vene a'ene tro huzanante'ne.
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.”
Anumzamo'a asomu ke huneznanteno amanage huno zanasmi'ne, Mofavre kase hakare hanakeno, mopafina mani vitesaze. Ana nehuta mikoza kegava hi'o. Timpi nozame zagane, hareno vano nehia nama zagane, hakare'a mopafi kaza huno vano nehia zagaramine ana makaza kegava hi'o.
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.
Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Kma antahi'o! Mopafima nehagea zamofona avima'ane zafa raga'ane nezama nesa'aza tanami'noe.
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.
Hanki mika ama mopamofo agofetu vonoma nehaza zagagafamo'zane, monafima hare'za vonoma nehaza nama'zaga'mozane, mika zagagafama zamasimuma ante'za vanoma nehaza zagamo'zama nesaza zana, ruzahu ruzahu traza Nagra zami'noe, huno higeno ana zana fore hu'ne.
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’.
Anumzamo'a mika'za trohuteno keana knare huno hentofa zanke fore higeno keteno, muse hu'ne. Hagi haninkino masa higeno, nampa 6si kna emente'ne.
