Genesis 1
1 In the beginning, God created heaven and earth.
Apuengcue vah, Cathut ni kalvan hoi talai a sak.
2 But the earth was empty and unoccupied, and darknesses were over the face of the abyss; and so the Spirit of God was brought over the waters.
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.
3 And God said, “Let there be light.” And light became.
Cathut ni angnae awm seh ati teh angnae teh ao.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and so he divided the light from the darknesses.
Angnae teh Cathut ni a khet navah ahawi ati teh, Cathut ni angnae teh hmonae dawk hoi a kapek.
5 And he called the light, ‘Day,’ and the darknesses, ‘Night.’ And it became evening and morning, one day.
Cathut ni angnae hah khodai telah a phung, hmonae hah karum telah a phung. Hottelah, tangmin hoi amom teh apasuek hnin lah ao.
6 God also said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide waters from waters.”
Hahoi Cathut ni, tui lungui lathueng awmseh, tui hoi tui kâkapek seh telah ati.
7 And God made a firmament, and he divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament. And so it became.
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.
8 And God called the firmament ‘Heaven.’ And it became evening and morning, the second day.
Cathut ni lathueng teh kalvan telah a phung. Hottelah tangmin hoi amom teh apâhni hnin lah ao.
9 Truly God said: “Let the waters that are under heaven be gathered together into one place; and let the dry land appear.” And so it became.
Hahoi Cathut ni kalvan rahim kaawm e tui hmuen buet touh koe awm seh. Kaphui e talai kamnuek seh ati e patetlah ao.
10 And God called the dry land, ‘Earth,’ and he called the gathering of the waters, ‘Seas.’ And God saw that it was good.
Cathut ni kaphui e talai hah talai telah ati teh, tuikamuemnae teh tuipui telah a phung. Cathut ni a khet navah ahawi telah ati.
11 And he said, “Let the land spring forth green plants, both those producing seed, and fruit-bearing trees, producing fruit according to their kind, whose seed is within itself, over all the earth.” And so it became.
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.
12 And the land brought forth green plants, both those producing seed, according to their kind, and trees producing fruit, with each having its own way of sowing, according to its species. And God saw that it was good.
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.
13 And it became evening and the morning, the third day.
Hottelah tangmin hoi amom teh apâthum hnin lah ao.
14 Then God said: “Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven. And let them divide day from night, and let them become signs, both of the seasons, and of the days and years.
Hahoi Cathut ni karum dawk hoi khodai kapek nahanelah, kalvan e lathueng dawk angnae awm seh, mitnoutnae tue, hnin hoi kumnaw awmseh.
15 Let them shine in the firmament of heaven and illuminate the earth.” And so it became.
Kalvan e lathueng dawk, talai angnae ka poe hanelah, angnae awmseh telah ati e patetlah ao.
16 And God made two great lights: a greater light, to rule over the day, and a lesser light, to rule over the night, along with the stars.
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.
17 And he set them in the firmament of heaven, to give light over all the earth,
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.
18 and to rule over the day as well as the night, and to divide light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.
Hote hah Cathut ni a khet navah, ahawi telah ati.
19 And it became evening and morning, the fourth day.
Hottelah tangmin hoi amom teh apali hnin lah ao.
20 And then God said, “Let the waters produce animals with a living soul, and flying creatures above the earth, under the firmament of heaven.”
Hahoi, Cathut ni kahring ni teh kâroe e saring, tui ni pungdaw sak naseh. Tavanaw hai kalvan e lathueng dawk kamleng naseh telah ati.
21 And God created the great sea creatures, and everything with a living soul and the ability to move that the waters produced, according to their species, and all the flying creatures, according to their kind. And God saw that it was good.
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.
22 And he blessed them, saying: “Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea. And let the birds be multiplied above the land.”
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.
23 And it became evening and morning, the fifth day.
Hottelah tangmin hoi amom teh apanga hnin lah ao.
24 God also said, “Let the land produce living souls in their kind: cattle, and animals, and wild beasts of the earth, according to their species.” And so it became.
Hahoi Cathut ni saring hoi moithangnaw, vonpui hoi kâva e moithangnaw talî ni pungdaw sak seh telah ati e patetlah ao.
25 And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their species, and the cattle, and every animal on the land, according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Hottelah Cathut ni moithangnaw, saringnaw, vonpui hoi kâva e moithang pueng teh a sak. Hote hah Cathut ni a khet navah ahawi telah ati.
26 And he said: “Let us make Man to our image and likeness. And let him rule over the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the air, and the wild beasts, and the entire earth, and every animal that moves on the earth.”
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.
27 And God created man to his own image; to the image of God he created him; male and female, he created them.
Hottelah Cathut ni amae mei hoi kâvan lah, amae meikalat lah tongpa hoi napui hah a sak.
28 And God blessed them, and he said, “Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
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.
29 And God said: “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant upon the earth, and all the trees that have in themselves the ability to sow their own kind, to be food for you,
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.
30 and for all the animals of the land, and for all the flying things of the air, and for everything that moves upon the earth and in which there is a living soul, so that they may have these on which to feed.” And so it became.
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.
31 And God saw everything that he had made. And they were very good. And it became evening and morning, the sixth day.
Hahoi, Cathut ni a sak e pueng a khet navah, ahawipoung telah ati. Hottelah tangmin hoi amom teh ataruk hnin lah ao.
