In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

And the earth was waste and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

And God said, Let there be light. And there was light.
4 Te vaengah Pathen loh vangnah te then tila a hmuh. Te dongah Pathen loh vangnah neh a hmuep te a laklo ah a phih.
And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided between the light and the darkness.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening, and there was morning — the first day.
6 Te phoeiah Pathen loh tui laklo ah bangyai om saeh lamtah tui neh tui laklo ah phih la om saeh a ti.
And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a division between waters and waters.
7 Te dongah Pathen loh bangyai te a saii tih, bangyai hmui lamkah tui neh bangyai hman kah tui te a laklo ah aka phih la om tangloeng.
And God made the expanse, and divided between the waters that are under the expanse and the waters that are above the expanse; and it was so.

And God called the expanse Heavens. And there was evening, and there was morning — a second day.

And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry [land] appear. And it was so.
10 Pathen loh laiphuei te lan la a khue tih, tui rhoek a tungnah te tuitunli la a khue. Te dongah Pathen loh then tila a hmuh.
And God called the dry [land] Earth, and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11 Te phoeiah Pathen loh, “Diklai loh toian, baelhing, a muu aka om ham a thaih te amah hui la a thaih aka saii thing te poe sak saeh. Diklai ah a tii te om saeh,” a ti. Te dongah om tangloeng coeng.
And God said, Let the earth cause grass to spring up, herb producing seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, the seed of which is in them, on the earth. And it was so.
12 Te dongah amah hui la a tii a muu aka om toian, baelhing khaw, amah hui vanbangla amah ah a muu a thaih aka saii thing khaw diklai loh a poe sak. Te dongah Pathen loh then tila a hmuh.
And the earth brought forth grass, herb producing seed after its kind, and trees yielding fruit, the seed of which is in them, after their kind. And God saw that it was good.

And there was evening, and there was morning — a third day.
14 Te phoeiah Pathen loh, “Khothaih neh khoyin te a laklo ah phih ham neh khoning ham khaw, khohnin ham khaw, kum tue ham khaw miknoek la om sak ham vaan bangyai ah vangnah om saeh.
And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;
15 Vaan bangyai ah khaw, diklai hman aka tue ham khaw, vangnah om saeh,” a ti. Te dongah om tangloeng coeng.
and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so.
16 Te phoeiah Pathen loh vangnah a len panit te, khothaih kah khohung la vangnah a len pakhat neh khoyin kah khohung la vangnah a yit neh aisi rhoek te khaw a saii.
And God made the two great lights, the great light to rule the day, and the small light to rule the night, — and the stars.

And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth,
18 Diklai hman aka tue ham khaw, vaan bangyai ah amih te a khueh vaengah Pathen loh then tila a hmuh.
and to rule during the day and during the night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living souls, and let fowl fly above the earth in the expanse of the heavens.

And God created the great sea monsters, and every living soul that moves with which the waters swarm, after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind. And God saw that it was good.

And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply on the earth.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over the whole earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth on the earth.
27 Te dongah Pathen loh, amah muei la hlang a suen. Pathen kah muei la tongpa khaw a suen tih huta khaw a suen.
And God created Man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 Te phoeiah Pathen loh amih rhoi te yoethen a paek tih Pathen loh amih rhoi taengah, “Pungtai uh lamtah ping uh. Diklai khaw khulae uh lamtah tuitunli kah nga khaw, vaan kah vaa khaw, diklai kah aka yuel mulhing boeih khaw, khoem rhoi,” a ti nah.
And God blessed them; and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heavens, and over every animal that moveth on the earth.

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb producing seed that is on the whole earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree producing seed: it shall be food for you;
30 Te phoeiah, “Diklai kah mulhing boeih khaw, vaan kah vaa boeih khaw, diklai ah aka tat tih amah dongah hingnah hinglu aka khueh boeih khaw, baelhing hingsuep boeih te cakok la om saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah om tangloeng coeng.
and to every animal of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth on the earth, in which is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it was so.

And God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning — the sixth day.
