Kamtawngnae 1
1 Apuengcue vah, Cathut ni kalvan hoi talai a sak.
In the beginning God created the heauen and the earth.
2 Talai teh meilam tawn hoeh. Ahrawng lah doeh ao. Hmonae ni kadung poung e hmuen a ramuk. Cathut e Muitha teh tui van a kâroe.
And the earth was without forme and void, and darkenesse was vpon the deepe, and the Spirit of God mooued vpon the waters.
3 Cathut ni angnae awm seh ati teh angnae teh ao.
Then God said, Let there be light: And there was light.
4 Angnae teh Cathut ni a khet navah ahawi ati teh, Cathut ni angnae teh hmonae dawk hoi a kapek.
And God saw the light that it was good, and God separated the light from the darkenes.
5 Cathut ni angnae hah khodai telah a phung, hmonae hah karum telah a phung. Hottelah, tangmin hoi amom teh apasuek hnin lah ao.
And God called the Light, Day, and the darkenes, he called Night. So the euening and the morning were the first day.
6 Hahoi Cathut ni, tui lungui lathueng awmseh, tui hoi tui kâkapek seh telah ati.
Againe God said, Let there be a firmament in the mids of the waters: and let it separate the waters from the waters.
7 Hottelah Cathut ni lathueng a sak teh, lathueng lah kaawm e tui hoi lathueng rahim lah kaawm e tui hah a kapek teh hottelah ao awh.
Then God made the firmament, and separated the waters, which were vnder the firmament, from the waters which were aboue the firmament: and it was so.
8 Cathut ni lathueng teh kalvan telah a phung. Hottelah tangmin hoi amom teh apâhni hnin lah ao.
And God called the firmament Heauen. So the Euening and the morning were the second day.
9 Hahoi Cathut ni kalvan rahim kaawm e tui hmuen buet touh koe awm seh. Kaphui e talai kamnuek seh ati e patetlah ao.
God said againe, Let the waters vnder the heauen be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appeare. and it was so.
10 Cathut ni kaphui e talai hah talai telah ati teh, tuikamuemnae teh tuipui telah a phung. Cathut ni a khet navah ahawi telah ati.
And God called the dry land, Earth, and he called the gathering together of the waters, Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 Hahoi Cathut ni hettelah ati, talai ni pho, cati ka tâcawt sak e cakung, a paw ka paw e thingkung, amamouh a coung e patetlah atimu katâcawtkhai e naw hah paw naseh ati e patetlah ao awh.
Then God said, Let the earth bud forth the bud of the herbe, that seedeth seed, the fruitfull tree, which beareth fruite according to his kinde, which hath his seede in it selfe vpon the earth: and it was so.
12 Talai ni pho, cati ka tâcawt sak e cakung, ati ka tawn ni teh a paw ka paw e thingkungnaw a pâw sak. Hotnaw hah Cathut ni a khet navah ahawi telah ati.
And the earth brought foorth the bud of the herbe, that seedeth seede according to his kind, also the tree that beareth fruit, which hath his seed in it selfe according to his kinde: and God saw that it was good.
13 Hottelah tangmin hoi amom teh apâthum hnin lah ao.
So the euening and the morning were the third day.
14 Hahoi Cathut ni karum dawk hoi khodai kapek nahanelah, kalvan e lathueng dawk angnae awm seh, mitnoutnae tue, hnin hoi kumnaw awmseh.
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heauen, to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signes, and for seasons, and for dayes and yeeres.
15 Kalvan e lathueng dawk, talai angnae ka poe hanelah, angnae awmseh telah ati e patetlah ao.
And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heauen to giue light vpon the earth: and it was so.
16 Hahoi Cathut ni angnae kalen kahni touh a sak teh, khodai ka uk hanelah kalen e buet touh, karum ka uk hanelah kathoenge buet touh hoi âsinaw a sak.
God then made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesse light to rule the night: he made also the starres.
17 Cathut ni talai dawk ang sak hanelah thoseh, khodai hoi karum ka uk hanelah thoseh, hmonae dawk hoi angnae kapek hanelah thoseh, kalvan e lathueng dawk a hruek.
And God set them in the firmament of the heauen, to shine vpon the earth,
18 Hote hah Cathut ni a khet navah, ahawi telah ati.
And to rule in the day, and in the night, and to separate the light from the darkenesse: and God saw that it was good.
19 Hottelah tangmin hoi amom teh apali hnin lah ao.
So the euening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 Hahoi, Cathut ni kahring ni teh kâroe e saring, tui ni pungdaw sak naseh. Tavanaw hai kalvan e lathueng dawk kamleng naseh telah ati.
Afterward God said, Let the waters bring foorth in abundance euery creeping thing that hath life: and let the foule flie vpon the earth in the open firmament of the heauen.
21 Hahoi, Cathut ni tuipui dawk e saring kalenpoungnaw, kahring ni teh kâroe e saringnaw tui ni amamouh coungnae patetlah lengkaleng a pungdaw sak teh, rathei ka tawn e tavanaw hai amamouh coungnae patetlah lengkaleng a sak. Hote hah Cathut ni a khet navah ahawi telah ati.
Then God created the great whales, and euery thing liuing and mouing, which the waters brought foorth in abundance according to their kinde, and euery fethered foule according to his kinde: and God sawe that it was good.
22 Cathut ni hote saringnaw hah yawhawi a poe teh, moikapap pungdaw awh nateh, tuipui tuinaw dawk kawi sak awh. Tavanaw hai talai dawk pungdaw awh telah ati.
Then God blessed them, saying, Bring foorth fruite and multiplie, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the foule multiplie in the earth.
23 Hottelah tangmin hoi amom teh apanga hnin lah ao.
So the euening and the morning were the fifte day.
24 Hahoi Cathut ni saring hoi moithangnaw, vonpui hoi kâva e moithangnaw talî ni pungdaw sak seh telah ati e patetlah ao.
Moreouer God said, Let the earth bring foorth the liuing thing according to his kinde, cattel, and that which creepeth, and the beast of the earth, according to his kinde. and it was so.
25 Hottelah Cathut ni moithangnaw, saringnaw, vonpui hoi kâva e moithang pueng teh a sak. Hote hah Cathut ni a khet navah ahawi telah ati.
And God made the beast of the earth according to his kinde, and the cattell according to his kinde, and euery creeping thing of the earth according to his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 Hahoi Cathut ni, mamae mei hoi kâvan lah, meikalat lah tami sak awh sei. Ahni ni tuipui dawk e tanganaw, kalvan e tavanaw, talai dawk e saring pueng hoi, vonpui hoi kâva e saring pueng e lathueng kâ tawn seh telah ati.
Furthermore God said, Let vs make man in our image according to our likenes, and let them rule ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the heauen, and ouer the beastes, and ouer all the earth, and ouer euery thing that creepeth and moueth on the earth.
27 Hottelah Cathut ni amae mei hoi kâvan lah, amae meikalat lah tongpa hoi napui hah a sak.
Thus God created the man in his image: in the image of God created he him: he created them male and female.
28 Hahoi ahnimouh roi hah Cathut ni yawhawinae a poe teh, Cathut ni ahnimouh roi koe, canaw moikapap khe nateh pungdaw awh. Talai dawk kawi awh nateh, tâ awh loe. Tuipui dawk e tanganaw, kalvan e tavanaw, talai dawk vonpui hoi kâva e moithang pueng koe kâ tawn awh telah ati.
And God blessed them, and God said to them, Bring forth fruite and multiplie, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the heauen, and ouer euery beast that moueth vpon the earth.
29 Hahoi Cathut ni khenhaw! talai dawk cati ka tâcawt sak e cakung aphunphun, a paw dawk a mu kaawm e thingkung pueng, na ca awh hanelah kai ni na poe.
And God said, Beholde, I haue giuen vnto you euery herbe bearing seede, which is vpon al the earth, and euery tree, wherein is the fruite of a tree bearing seede: that shall be to you for meate.
30 Hahoi, talai e moithang, kalvan e tava, hoi kahring niteh, talai dawk vonpui hoi kâva e moithang pueng ni a ca hanelah, pho kahring aphunphun ka poe telah ati e patetlah ao.
Likewise to euery beast of the earth, and to euery foule of the heauen, and to euery thing that moueth vpon the earth, which hath life in it selfe, euery greene herbe shall be for meate. and it was so.
31 Hahoi, Cathut ni a sak e pueng a khet navah, ahawipoung telah ati. Hottelah tangmin hoi amom teh ataruk hnin lah ao.
And God sawe all that he had made, and loe, it was very good. So the euening and the morning were the sixt day.
