Chakruok 1
1 Kar chakruok Nyasaye nochweyo polo gi piny.
IN THE beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 Koro piny ne onge kido kendo ne onge gimoro amora e iye. Mudho mandiwa noimo ataro mangʼongo kendo Roho mar Nyasaye ne wuotho ewi atarono.
Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters.
3 Eka Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ler mondo obedie,” mi ler nobetie.
And God said: 'Let there be light.' And there was light.
4 Nyasaye noneno ni ler ber, kendo ne opogo ler kuom mudho.
And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 Nyasaye noluongo ler ni “odiechiengʼ” kendo mudho noluongo ni “otieno.” Piny noyuso, kendo noru ma en chiengʼ mokwongo.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
6 Eka Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Gima pogo pi mondo obedie mondo opog pi gi pige.”
And God said: 'Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.'
7 Omiyo Nyasaye noketo gima pogo pi mamalo gi pi ma piny. Kendo nobedo kamano.
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so.
8 Nyasaye noluongo gima nopogo pigno ni “polo.” Piny noyuso kendo noru, ma en chiengʼ mar ariyo.
And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 Kendo Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Pi manie bwo polo mondo ochokre kaachiel, kendo lowo motwo obedie.” Kendo notimore kamano.
And God said: 'Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear.' And it was so.
10 Nyasaye nochako lowo ni “piny” kendo pige mane ochokore nochako ni “nembe.” Kendo Nyasaye noneno ni mano ber.
And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters called He Seas; and God saw that it was good.
11 Eka Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Buya nyaka nyag e piny, kothe manyago cham kod yiende manyago olembe man-gi kuthe eigi kaka kitgi obet kendo nobedo kamano.
And God said: 'Let the earth put forth grass, herb yielding seed, and fruit-tree bearing fruit after its kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth.' And it was so.
12 Buya nonyak e piny: Cham nonywolo kothegi kaka kitgi nobet kendo yiende nonywolo olembe man-gi kodhi kaka kitgi nobet. Kendo Nyasaye noneno ni mano ber.
And the earth brought forth grass, herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
13 Piny noyuso kendo noru, ma en chiengʼ mar adek.”
And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
14 Bangʼe Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Ler mondo obedie e kor polo mondo opog odiechiengʼ gi otieno, kendo gibed kaka ranyisi mag lokruok ndalo kod odiechienge, kod higni,
And God said: 'Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;
15 kendo ginibedi ler mae kor polo mondo gi chiw ler e piny.” Kendo nobedo kamano.
and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.' And it was so.
16 Nyasaye noloso gik moko ariyo madongo makelo ler; ler maduongʼ ne rito odiechiengʼ, to ler matin ne rito otieno. Sulwe bende noloso.
And God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; and the stars.
17 Nyasaye noketogi e kor polo mondo gi chiw ler e piny,
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 mondo girit odiechiengʼ gotieno, kendo gipog ler koa kuom mudho. Nyasaye noneno ni mano ber.
and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good.
19 Piny noyuso kendo noru, ma en chiengʼ mar angʼwen.
And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 Kendo Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Pi mondo opongʼ gi gik mangima, kendo winy mondo ofu ewi piny e kor polo.”
And God said: 'Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let fowl fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.'
21 Kamano Nyasaye nochweyo gik madongo mag nam kod gik mangima duto kod gik malak mag pi, kaka kitgi obet kod winy duto man-gi bwombegi kaka kitgi obet. Nyasaye noneno ni mano ber.
And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that creepeth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after its kind, and every winged fowl after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
22 Nyasaye nogwedhogi kendo owacho niya, “Nywolreuru kendo umedru kuom kwan kendo upongʼ pi mag nembe kendo winy bende omedre e piny.”
And God blessed them, saying: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.'
23 Kendo piny noyuso, kendo noru, ma en chiengʼ mar abich.
And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 Kendo Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Piny mondo onywol gik mangima kaka kitgi obet: Jamni, kod gik moko duto mamol e lowo, kod le mag bungu, mana kaka kit moro ka moro obet.” Kendo nobet kamano.
And God said: 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind.' And it was so.
25 Nyasaye noloso le mag bungu kaka kitgi obet; jamni kaka kitgi obet kendo gi gik mamol e lowo kaka kitgi obet. Nyasaye noneno ni mano ber.
And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
26 Eka Nyasaye nowacho niya, “We wachwe dhano e kido machal kodwa kendo gibed gi teko ewi rech mae nam kendo gi winy mae kor polo, ewi jamni, ewi piny duto kendo ewi chwech duto mawuotho ewi lowo.”
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 air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.'
27 Kuom mano Nyasaye nochweyo dhano e kite owuon, e kit Nyasaye nochweye; nochweyogi dichwo gi dhako.
And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.
28 Nyasaye nogwedhogi mi owachonegi niya, “Nywolreuru kendo kwanu omedre; pongʼuru piny kendo urite. Beduru gi teko ewi rech ma e nam kod winy mae kor polo kendo ewi gik mangima duto mawuotho ewi lowo.”
And God blessed them; and God said unto them: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that creepeth upon the earth.'
29 Eka Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Amiyou kothe duto manyago cham e wangʼ piny duto kod yiende duto man kod olemo gi kodhi eigi. Ginibed magu kuom chiemo.
And God said: 'Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed — to you it shall be for food;
30 To ne le duto mag piny kod winy duto mafuyo e kor polo kod gik moko duto mawuotho e piny, gimoro amora mangima; amiyo lum duto mondo obed chiembgi.” Kendo nobedo kamano.
and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is a living soul, I have given every green herb for food.' And it was so.
31 Nyasaye nongʼiyo gik moko duto mane osechweyo kendo noneno ni gibeyo ahinya. Piny noyuso kendo noru, ma en chiengʼ mar auchiel.
And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
