Genesis 1
1 Tangsuek naah Sithaw mah van hoi long to sak.
In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth.
2 Long loe tungkrang om ai, kong sut; kaving loe kathuk nuiah oh. Sithaw ih Muithla loe tui nuiah angtawt.
But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved over the water.
3 Sithaw mah, Aanghaih om nasoe, tiah thuih pongah, Aanghaih to oh.
And God said, Let there be light, and there was light.
4 Sithaw mah aanghaih to hnuk naah hoih, tiah thuih; Sithaw mah aanghaih to kaving thung hoiah tapraek.
And God saw the light that it was good, and God divided 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 called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night, and there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
6 Sithaw mah, Tuinawk um ah van hma to om nasoe loe, tui thung hoiah tui to ampraek nasoe, tiah thuih.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and let it be a division between water and water, and it was so.
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 made the firmament, and God divided between the water which was under the firmament and the water which was above the firmament.
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 called the firmament Heaven, and God saw that it was good, and there was evening and there was 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 said, Let the water which is under the heaven be collected into one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And the water which was under the heaven was collected into its places, and the dry land appeared.
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 called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters he called Seas, and God saw that it was 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 said, Let the earth bring forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit-tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and it was 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 brought forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and God saw that it was good.
13 Duem hoi khawn to oh, to loe ni thumto haih ah oh.
And there was evening and there was 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 said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, to divide between day and night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and for years.
15 long to aanghaih paek hanah van hma ah aanghaih to om nasoe, tiah thuih; a thuih ih lok baktih toengah oh.
And let them be for light in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth, and it was 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 made the two great lights, the greater light for regulating the day and the lesser light for regulating the night, the stars also.
17 Long to aanghaih paek hanah, to aanghaih to Sithaw mah van hma ah suek.
And God placed them in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon 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 regulate day and night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 Duem hoi khawn to oh, to loe ni palito haih ah oh.
And there was evening and there was 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 said, Let the waters bring forth reptiles having life, and winged creatures flying above the earth in the firmament of heaven, and it was so.
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 made great whales, and every living reptile, which the waters brought forth according to their kinds, and every creature that flies with wings according to its kind, and God saw that they were 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 blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the creatures that fly be multiplied on the earth.
23 Duem hoi khawn to oh, to loe ni pangato haih ah oh.
And there was evening and there was 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 said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind, quadrupeds and reptiles and wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and it was 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 made the wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and cattle according to their kind, and all the reptiles of the earth according to their kind, and God saw that they were 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 said, Let us make man according to our image and likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of heaven, and over the cattle and all the earth, and over all the reptiles that creep 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 made man, according to the image of God he made him, male and female he made 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 said, Behold I have given to you every seed-bearing herb sowing seed which is upon all the earth, and every tree which has in itself the fruit of seed that is sown, to you it shall be 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 all the wild beasts of the earth, and to all the flying creatures of heaven, and to every reptile creeping on the earth, which has in itself the breath of life, even every green plant for food; and it was 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 saw all the things that he had made, and, behold, they were very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
