Genesis 1
1 Tangsuek naah Sithaw mah van hoi long to sak.
In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth,
2 Long loe tungkrang om ai, kong sut; kaving loe kathuk nuiah oh. Sithaw ih Muithla loe tui nuiah angtawt.
and the earth was formless and void, and darkness [was] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God [was] fluttering on the face of the waters,
3 Sithaw mah, Aanghaih om nasoe, tiah thuih pongah, Aanghaih to oh.
and God says, “Let light be”; and light is.
4 Sithaw mah aanghaih to hnuk naah hoih, tiah thuih; Sithaw mah aanghaih to kaving thung hoiah tapraek.
And God sees that the light [is] good, and God separates between the light and the darkness,
5 Ka-aang to Sithaw mah Khodai, tiah kawk moe, kaving to Khoving, tiah kawk. To tiah duem hoi khawn to oh moe, amtong tangsuekhaih niah oh.
and God calls the light “Day,” and the darkness He has called “Night”; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—day one.
6 Sithaw mah, Tuinawk um ah van hma to om nasoe loe, tui thung hoiah tui to ampraek nasoe, tiah thuih.
And God says, “Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.”
7 To pongah Sithaw mah van hma to sak moe, van hma tlim ih tui hoi van hma ranui ih tui to tapraek; a thuih ih lok baktih toengah oh.
And God makes the expanse, and it separates between the waters which [are] under the expanse, and the waters which [are] above the expanse: and it is so.
8 Sithaw mah van hma to van, tiah kawk; to tiah duem hoi khawn to oh; to loe ni hnetto haih ah oh.
And God calls the expanse “Heavens”; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] second day.
9 Sithaw mah, tuinawk loe van tlim ah nawnto angcu o nasoe loe, saoeng to amtueng nasoe, tiah thuih; a thuih ih lok baktih toengah oh.
And God says, “Let the waters under the heavens be collected to one place, and let the dry land be seen”: and it is so.
10 Sithaw mah kaphui long to saoeng, tiah kawk moe, nawnto angcuu tui to tuipui, tiah kawk; a sak ih hmuen to Sithaw mah hnuk naah hoih, tiah thuih.
And God calls the dry land “Earth,” and the collection of the waters He has called “Seas”; and God sees that [it is] good.
11 Sithaw mah, Saoeng nuiah phroh, amuu kaom aan kahingnawk, amuu kaom thingthai congca kathai thingkungnawk to amprawk o nasoe, tiah thuih; a thuih ih lok baktih toengah oh.
And God says, “Let the earth yield tender grass, herb sowing seed, fruit-tree (whose seed [is] in itself) making fruit after its kind, on the earth”: and it is so.
12 Long ah phroh to amprawk, amuu kaom aan congca hoi thingthai congca to amprawk o; a sak ih hmuen to Sithaw mah hnuk naah hoih, tiah thuih.
And the earth brings forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed [is] in itself) after its kind; and God sees that [it is] good;
13 Duem hoi khawn to oh, to loe ni thumto haih ah oh.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] third day.
14 Sithaw mah, khoving thung hoi khodai to tapraek hanah, van hma ah aanghaih to om nasoe, atuenawk, aninawk, saningnawk loe angmathaih ah om nasoe,
And God says, “Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to make a separation between the day and the night, then they have been for signs, and for appointed times, and for days and years,
15 long to aanghaih paek hanah van hma ah aanghaih to om nasoe, tiah thuih; a thuih ih lok baktih toengah oh.
and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”: and it is so.
16 Sithaw mah aanghaih paekkung kalen hnetto sak, kalen kue khodai ukkung ka-aang hoi kathoeng kue khoving ukkung ka-aang to a sak; cakaehnawk doeh a sak.
And God makes the two great luminaries, the great luminary for the rule of the day, and the small luminary—and the stars—for the rule of the night;
17 Long to aanghaih paek hanah, to aanghaih to Sithaw mah van hma ah suek.
and God gives them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
18 Khodai hoi khoving to uk moe, khoving thung hoi khodai to tapraek hanah, to tiah a suek; a sak ih hmuen to Sithaw mah hnuk naah hoih, tiah thuih.
and to rule over day and over night, and to make a separation between the light and the darkness; and God sees that [it is] good;
19 Duem hoi khawn to oh, to loe ni palito haih ah oh.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fourth day.
20 Sithaw mah, tui thungah Hinghaih katawn, kangtawt thaih moi congca to om nasoe loe, long ranui ah kaom kawk parai van hma ah tavaanawk to azawk o nasoe, tiah thuih.
And God says, “Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature, and let [the] bird fly above the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.”
21 To tiah Sithaw mah kalen parai tuipui thungah tanga pui, hinghaih katawn angtawt thaih moi congca hoi azawk thaih tava congca doeh pungsak; a sak ih hmuen to Sithaw mah hnuk naah hoih, tiah thuih.
And God creates the great dragons, and every living creature that is creeping, which the waters have teemed with, after their kind, and every bird with wing, after its kind, and God sees that [it is] good.
22 To a sak ih moinawk to Sithaw mah tahamhoihaih paek, Athaih pop nasoe loe, tuipui koi mongah pung o nasoe, tavaanawk doeh long ah pung o nasoe, tiah thuih.
And God blesses them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the bird multiply in the earth”:
23 Duem hoi khawn to oh, to loe ni pangato haih ah oh.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fifth day.
24 Sithaw mah, Hinghaih tawn pacah ih moi congca, long ah kavak moinawk, taw ah kaom congca moinawk loe long mah pungsak nasoe, tiah thuih; a thuih ih lok baktih toengah oh.
And God says, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, livestock and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind”: and it is so.
25 Sithaw mah taw ih congca moi, pacah ih congca moi, long ah kavak angtawt thaih congca moi to sak; a sak ih hmuen to Sithaw mah hnuk naah hoih, tiah thuih.
And God makes the beast of the earth after its kind, and the livestock after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, and God sees that [it is] good.
26 To pacoengah Sithaw mah, Kami hae aimacae tungkrang baktih, aimacae hoi kanghmong ah sah si loe, tuipui thung ih tanganawk, van ih tavaanawk, long ah pacah ih moinawk, long ah kavak moinawk boih to uk nasoe, tiah thuih.
And God says, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.”
27 To pongah Sithaw mah kami to angmah ih tungkrang baktih toengah sak; Sithaw krang hoi kanghmong ah nongpa hoi nongpata to sak.
And God creates the man in His image; in the image of God He created him, a male and a female He created them.
28 Sithaw mah, nihnik khaeah, Athaih athai hoih, pung hoih, long ah koi hoi ah loe, long to uk hoih; tuipui thung ih tanganawk, van ih tavaanawk, long nuiah kavak hinghaih katawn moinawk boih to uk hoih, tiah tahamhoihaih paek.
And God blesses them, and God says to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping on the earth.”
29 To pacoengah Sithaw mah, Khenah, long pum ah amuu kaom ann congca, thingthaikung congca to kang paek; to hmuennawk loe nang hnik ih buh ah om tih.
And God says, “Behold, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which [is] on the face of all the earth, and every tree in which [is] the fruit of a tree sowing seed, to you it is for food;
30 Na caak hoi hanah, long ah kaom taw ih moinawk boih, van ih tavaanawk boih, long ah kavak hinghaih tawn moinawk boih, anqam congca to kang paek, tiah a naa. A thuih ih lok baktih toengah oh.
and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to every creeping thing on the earth, in which [is] breath of life, every green herb [is] for food”: and it is so.
31 A sak ih hmuennawk boih Sithaw mah khet naah, Hoih parai, tiah thuih. Duem hoi khawn to oh, to loe ni tarukto haih ah oh.
And God sees all that He has done, and behold, [it is] very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—the sixth day.
