+ Genesis 1 >

1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
Fefeu na, Lamatualain naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ lalai no raefafoꞌ a.
2 The earth was without form and empty. Darkness was upon the surface of the deep. The Spirit of God was moving above the surface of the waters.
Leleꞌ naa, raefafoꞌ a nda feꞌe dadꞌi sa, ma basaꞌ e feꞌe runggu-ranggaꞌ. Feꞌe akaꞌ a, oeꞌ ma maꞌahatuꞌ a tatana nala e. Lamatualain Dula-dale Na laa-laa sia oeꞌ ata.
3 God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
Boe ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ nae, “Manggareloꞌ dadꞌi.” Ana olaꞌ basa ma, manggareloꞌ a dadꞌi tuteꞌ a.
4 God saw the light, that it was good. He divided the light from the darkness.
Ana nita manggareloꞌ a ma, rala Na namahoꞌo, huu saa fo Eni taoꞌ naa, maloleꞌ. Basa de, Ana tadꞌa manggareloꞌ mia hatuꞌ a, de esa-esaꞌ no fai na.
5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” This was evening and morning, the first day.
Ana babꞌae manggareloꞌ a ‘rereloꞌ’, ma hatuꞌ a, ‘tetembaꞌ’. Naa, fai kaesa na.
6 God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”
Basa ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ nae, “Mamana rouꞌ sa dadꞌi, fo tadꞌa oeꞌ a. Naa fo, hambu oeꞌ sia ataꞌ, ma sia raeꞌ boe.” Ana olaꞌ basa ma, oeꞌ a banggi neu rua tuteꞌ a.
7 God made the expanse and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse. It was so.
8 God called the expanse “sky.” This was evening and morning, the second day.
Ana babꞌae oeꞌ mana sia ataꞌ a, ‘lalai’. Naa, fai karua na.
9 God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear.” It was so.
Basa ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ fai nae, “Oe mana sia raeꞌ a musi naꞌabꞌue neu mamanaꞌ esa, fo hambu rae madꞌa.” Ana olaꞌ basa ma, rae madꞌa a dadꞌi tuteꞌ a.
10 God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” He saw that it was good.
Ana babꞌae rae madꞌa a, ‘madꞌa ata’; ma oe mana maꞌabꞌueꞌ a, ‘tasiꞌ’. Ana nita basa naa ra ma, rala Na namahoꞌo, huu saa fo Eni taoꞌ naa ra, memaꞌ maloleꞌ.
11 God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation: plants yielding seed and fruit trees bearing fruit whose seed is in the fruit, each according to its own kind.” It was so.
Boe ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ fai nae, “Hau-hau musi mori sia madꞌaꞌ ata. Musi hambu hau mabꞌoaꞌ, madekeꞌ, ma maroo modꞌoꞌ. Naa fo, hau ra esa-esaꞌ mbule-bꞌoa na tungga mata na.” Ana olaꞌ basa ma, basa hau ra dadꞌi tuteꞌ a.
12 The earth produced vegetation, plants producing seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit whose seed was in it, after their kind. God saw that it was good.
Ma hau naa ra mbule-bꞌoa nara esa-esaꞌ tungga mata na, losa rasofe madꞌaꞌ ata. Ana nita basa naa ra ma, rala Na namahoꞌo, huu saa fo Eni taoꞌ naa ra, memaꞌ maloleꞌ.
13 This was evening and morning, the third day.
Naa, fai katelu na.
14 God said, “Let there be lights in the sky to divide the day from the night and let them be as signs, for seasons, for days and years.
Boe ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ fai nae, “Sia ataꞌ musi hambu manggareloꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ fo raronda neu raefafoꞌ ia. Musi hambu mana fee manggareloꞌ neu fai rereloꞌ, ma mana fee manggareloꞌ neu fai tetembaꞌ. Basa naa ra, dadꞌi tatandaꞌ fo bisa reken fai, too, no fula-fai.” Ana olaꞌ basa ma, manggareloꞌ ra dadꞌi tuteꞌ a.
15 Let them be lights in the sky to give light upon the earth.” It was so.
16 God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.
Ana tao manggarelo monaeꞌ mataꞌ rua. Manggarelo monaeꞌ a naronda rereloꞌ ma manggarelo anadikiꞌ a naronda tetembaꞌ. Ana o tao nduuꞌ ra boe.
17 God set them in the sky to give light upon the earth,
Ma Ana ator basa naa ra sia lalai, fo raronda neu raefafoꞌ a.
18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good.
De ara fee manggareloꞌ neu rereloꞌ ma tetembaꞌ. No taꞌo naa, ara tadꞌa manggareloꞌ mia hatuꞌ a. Ana nita basa naa ra ma, rala Na namahoꞌo, huu saa fo Eni taoꞌ naa ra, memaꞌ maloleꞌ.
19 This was evening and morning, the fourth day.
Naa, fai kahaa na.
20 God said, “Let the waters be filled with great numbers of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the expanse of the sky.”
Basa ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ fai nae, “Banda mataꞌ-mataꞌ musi rasodꞌa sia oeꞌ rala. Ma mbuiꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ musi ratambembele sia raefafoꞌ ata.”
21 God created the great sea creatures, as well as every living creature after its kind, creatures that move and which fill the waters everywhere, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good.
Boe ma Ana naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ basa uꞌu mataꞌ-mataꞌ no banda monaeꞌ mana rasodꞌa sia oeꞌ. Ana o naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ mbuiꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ fo ratambembele sia lalai. Ana nita basa naa ra ma, rala Na namahoꞌo, huu saa fo Eni taoꞌ naa ra, memaꞌ maloleꞌ.
22 God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas. Let birds multiply on the earth.”
Basa ma Ana olaꞌ fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu basa banda ra nae, “Uꞌu ra musi ramaheta, fo rasofe oeꞌ a sia bee-bꞌee. Ma mbuiꞌ ra o musi ramaheta boe.”
23 This was evening and morning, the fifth day.
Naa, fai kalima na.
24 God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures, each according to its own kind, livestock, creeping things, and beasts of the earth, each according to its own kind.” It was so.
Basa ma, Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ fai nae, “Banda mataꞌ-mataꞌ musi rasodꞌa sia madꞌaꞌ ata. Musi hambu banda neꞌebꞌoiꞌ, banda fui, ma banda mana nodꞌoꞌ sia rae, esa-esaꞌ no mata na.” Ana olaꞌ basa ma, basa se dadꞌi tuteꞌ a. Ana nita basa se ma, rala Na namahoꞌo, huu saa fo Eni taoꞌ naa ra, memaꞌ maloleꞌ.
25 God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, the livestock after their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the ground after its kind. He saw that it was good.
26 God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
Basa ma Lamatualain olaꞌ seluꞌ fai nae, “Ima fo Ata tao atahori tungga onaꞌ Hita boe. Naa fo, ara tao mataꞌ neu uꞌu ra sia tasi, mbuiꞌ ra sia lalai, banda neꞌeboiꞌ ra, ma basa banda feaꞌ mana masodꞌa sia raefafoꞌ a.”
27 God created man in his own image. In his own image he created him. Male and female he created them.
Boe ma Ana naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ atahori onaꞌ mata ao Na boe. Ana naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ se, touꞌ no inaꞌ.
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply. Fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
Ma Ana olaꞌ fee se papala-babꞌanggiꞌ nae, “Hei musi bꞌonggi mimihefu, fo misofe raefafoꞌ ia, ma tao mataꞌ neu e. Au o fee hei koasa fo tao mataꞌ neu uꞌu ra, mbuiꞌ ra, ma basa banda madꞌaꞌ ata ra.
29 God said, “See, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the surface of all the earth, and every tree with fruit which has seed in it. They will be food to you.
Rena malolole! Au fee hei nanaat mataꞌ-mataꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia. Au fee hau mabꞌoaꞌ, madekeꞌ, ma maroo modꞌoꞌ ra.
30 To every beast of the earth, to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creeps upon the earth, and to every creature that has the breath of life I have given every green plant for food.” It was so.
Au o fee basa hau mataꞌ-mataꞌ, fo dadꞌi basa banda ra nanaat na. Nanaat soaꞌ neu banda neꞌeboiꞌ, banda fui, banda mana nodꞌoꞌ, ma mbuiꞌ ra.” Ana olaꞌ basa ma, basa nanaat mataꞌ-mataꞌ dadꞌi tuteꞌ a.
31 God saw everything that he had made. Behold, it was very good. This was evening and morning, the sixth day.
Ana nita basa naa ra ma, rala Na namahoꞌo, huu saa fo Eni taoꞌ naa ra, memaꞌ maloleꞌ. Naa, fai kanee na.
