Genesis 1
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
Tam-pifotorañ’ añe, namboaren’ Añahare o likerañeo naho ty tane toy,
2 The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.
ie amy zay tsy amam‑bintañe naho kòake ty tane toy naho nimoromoroñe ty an-tarehe’ i lalekey, vaho nihelahela ambone’ o ranoo t’i Arofon’ Añahare.
3 God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
Hoe t’i Andrianañahare: Ampiloneahan-kazavàñe; le nisodehan-kazavàñe.
4 God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness.
Nivazohon’ Añahare i hazavañey te nisoa, le navahen’ Añahare amy ieñey i hazavàñey,
5 God called the light “day”, and the darkness he called “night”. There was evening and there was morning, the first day.
nataon’ Añahare ty hoe Andro i hazavàñey vaho nanoe’e ty hoe Haleñe i ieñey. I haleñey vaho i antoandroy—ty andro valoha’e.
6 God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”
Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare: Ampiboahan-dañelañe añivo’ o ranoo hisitaha’ ty rano ami’ty rano.
7 God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.
Aa le namboaren’ Añahare i lañelañey vaho navì’e amy rano ambone’ i lañelañey ty rano ambane’ i lañelañey. Le zay ty ie.
8 God called the expanse “sky”. There was evening and there was morning, a second day.
Nataon’ Añahare ty hoe likerañe i lañelañey. I haleñey vaho i antoandroy—ty andro faharoe.
9 God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear;” and it was so.
Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare: Hatontoñe antoetse raike o rano ambane’ i likerañeio hiboaha’ ty tane maike. Le zay ty ie.
10 God called the dry land “earth”, and the gathering together of the waters he called “seas”. God saw that it was good.
Nataon’Añahare ty hoe Tane i maikey, naho ty hoe Riake o rano nifanontoñeo, le nivazohon’Añahare te soa.
11 God said, “Let the earth yield grass, herbs yielding seeds, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with their seeds in it, on the earth;” and it was so.
Aa le hoe t’i Andrianañahare: Ampitiriañ’ ahetse i taney, rongoñe mamoa voa naho hatae mamoa voa rekets’ àta’e ty amy karaza’ey. Le zay ty ie.
12 The earth yielded grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with their seeds in it, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.
Aa le nitirian’ ahetse ty tane toy, rongoñe mamoa voa ty amy karaza’ey, vaho hatae mamoa voa rekets’ àta’e, ty amy karaza’ey. Le nivazohon’ Añahare te soa.
13 There was evening and there was morning, a third day.
I haleñey vaho i antoandroy—ty andro fahatelo.
14 God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs to mark seasons, days, and years;
Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare: Ampiboaheñe failo i lañelañen-dikerañey hañavake ty antoandro ami’ty haleñe ho vintañe naho famotoañañe naho andro vaho taoñe;
15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth;” and it was so.
ho jiro amy lañelañen-dikerañey hañilo ty tane toy. Le zay ty ie.
16 God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars.
Le namboaren’ Añahare ty jiro roe jabajaba—hifehe ty andro ty jiro bey naho hifehe ty haleñe ty jiro zai’e—vaho o vasiañeo.
17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light to the earth,
Aa le napon’Añahare amy lañelañen-dikerañey iereo hañilo ty tane toy
18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good.
hamehe ty andro naho ty haleñe vaho hañavake i ieñey amy hazavàñey. Nivazohon’ Añahare te soa.
19 There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
I haleñey vaho i antoandroy—ty andro fah’ efatse.
20 God said, “Let the waters abound with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.”
Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare: Ampifamorohoteñe raha veloñe hangetseketseke o ranoo, naho ampitiliñem-boroñe ty ambone’ tane toy an-tarehe’ i lañelañen-dindìñ’ey.
21 God created the large sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good.
Le namboaren’ Añahare o fañanen-driakeo naho ze hene raha veloñe mihetseke, mifamorohotse amo ranoo, ty amy karaza’ey, naho ze hene voroñe reketse elatse ty amy karaza’ey. Le nivazohon’ Añahare te soa.
22 God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”
Nitatan’ Añahare iereo ami’ ty hoe: Manaranàha le mangetseketseha, atsafo o ranon-driakeo, vaho ampangorokitsiheñe voroñe ty an-tane atoy.
23 There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
I haleñey vaho i antoandroy —ty andro faha-lime.
24 God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures after their kind, livestock, creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind;” and it was so.
Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare: Hampanaranàheñe an-tane atoy ze raha veloñe iaby ty amy karaza’ey: o hareo, naho o raha milalio naho ze hene bibi’ ty tane toy, ty amo karaza’eo. Vaho zay ty ie.
25 God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good.
Le namboaren’ Añahare o bibi’ ty tane toio amo karaza’eo, naho ze karazan’ añombe iaby vaho ze hene karaza-biby misitsitse an-tane atoy. Le nivazohon’ Añahare te soa.
26 God said, “Let’s make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare: Antao hamboatse ondaty hambam-bintañ’ aman-tikañe, hifañoronkoroñe aman-tika, hifehe o fian-driakeo naho o voron-tiokeo naho o bibio naho ty tane toy iaby vaho ze biby misitsitse an-tane atoy.
27 God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.
Aa le namboaren’ Añahare mirai-bintañe ama’e t’indaty, hambam-bintañe aman’ Añahare ty namboare’e aze, lahilahy naho ampela ty nitsene’e iareo.
28 God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, 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 on the earth.”
Nitataen’ Añahare iereo, le hoe t’i Andrianañahare ama’e: Manaranàha le mangetseketseha naho atsefo ty tane toy vaho feleho; le feheo o fian-driakeo naho o voron-tiokeo vaho ze biby misitsitse an-tane atoy.
29 God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.
Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare, Heheke te natoloko anahareo ze hene ahetse mamoa ambone’ ty tane toy, naho ze fonga hatae mamoa rekets’ àta’e ty am-po’e ao, ho fikama’areo.
30 To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so.
Aa ty amo hene bibi’ ty tane toio naho ze fonga voron-tioke vaho ze raha misitsitse an-tane atoy, ze kila raha veloñe, le nimeako ze hene ahets’antsetra ho haneñe. Le zay ty ie.
31 God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
Nivazohon’ Añahare o raha namboare’e iabio le hehe te soa. I haleñey vaho i antoandroy—ty andro fah’ eneñe.
