Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created heaven, and earth.
A cuekca vaengah Pathen loh vaan neh diklai a suen.
2 And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters.
Te vaengah diklai te a hinghong la om tih hoeng. Tuidung hman khaw a hmuep loh a dah. Te vaengah Pathen Mueihla tah tui hman ah lam.
3 And God said: Be light made. And light was made.
Tedae Pathen loh, “Vangnah om saeh,” a ti dongah vangnah om.
4 And God saw the light that it was good; and he divided the light from the darkness.
Te vaengah Pathen loh vangnah te then tila a hmuh. Te dongah Pathen loh vangnah neh a hmuep te a laklo ah a phih.
5 And he called the light Day, and the darkness Night; and there was evening and morning one day.
Te phoeiah Pathen loh vangnah te khothaih la a khue tih a hmuep te khoyin la a khue. Te vaengah hlaem neh mincang om tih khohnin lamhmacuek la om.
6 And God said: Let there be a firmament made amidst the waters: and let it divide the waters from the waters.
Te phoeiah Pathen loh tui laklo ah bangyai om saeh lamtah tui neh tui laklo ah phih la om saeh a ti.
7 And God made a firmament, and divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament, and it was so.
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.
8 And God called the firmament, Heaven; and the evening and morning were the second day.
Pathen loh bangyai te vaan la a khue. Te vaengah hlaem neh mincang om tih khohnin pabae la om.
9 God also said: Let the waters that are under the heaven, be gathered together into one place: and let the dry land appear. And it was so done.
Te phoeiah Pathen loh vaan hmui kah tui rhoek te hmuen pakhat la tingtun uh saeh lamtah laiphuei tueng saeh,” a ti. Te dongah om tangloeng.
10 And God called the dry land, Earth; and the gathering together of the waters, he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
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.
11 And he said: Let the earth bring forth the green herb, and such as may seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, which may have seed in itself upon the earth. And it was so done.
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.
12 And the earth brought forth the green herb, and such as yieldeth seed according to its kind, and the tree that beareth fruit, having seed each one according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
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.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
Te vaengah hlaem neh mincang om tih a thum khohnin la om.
14 And God said: Let there be lights made in the firmament of heaven, to divide the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:
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.
15 To shine in the firmament of heaven, and to give light upon the earth. And it was so done.
Vaan bangyai ah khaw, diklai hman aka tue ham khaw, vangnah om saeh,” a ti. Te dongah om tangloeng coeng.
16 And God made two great lights: a greater light to rule the day; and a lesser light to rule the night: and the stars.
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.
17 And he set them in the firmament of heaven to shine upon the earth.
Te phoeiah Pathen loh khothaih neh khoyin aka taemrhai khaw, vangnah neh a hmuep te aka phih ham khaw,
18 And to rule the day and the night, and to divide the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
Diklai hman aka tue ham khaw, vaan bangyai ah amih te a khueh vaengah Pathen loh then tila a hmuh.
19 And the evening and morning were the fourth day.
Te vaengah hlaem neh mincang om tih a li khohnin la om.
20 God also said: Let the waters bring forth the creeping creature having life, and the fowl that may fly over the earth under the firmament of heaven.
Te phoeiah Pathen loh, “Rhulcai mulhing hinglu te tui loh luem puei saeh lamtah diklai hman boeih vaan bangyai hmai ah vaa ding saeh,” a ti.
21 And God created the great whales, and every living and moving creature, which the waters brought forth, according to their kinds, and every winged fowl according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Te dongah Pathen loh, tuihnam a len rhoek neh aka colh aka tat mulhing, hinglu boeih khaw, a suen. Te te amah hui la tui loh a luem sak tih phae aka khueh vaa cungkuem khaw amah hui la om. Te dongah Pathen loh then tila a hmuh.
22 And he blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea: and let the birds be multiplied upon the earth.
Amih khaw Pathen loh yoethen a paek tih, “Pungtai uh lamtah ping uh. Tuitunli kah tui dongah khaw baetawt uh. Vaa long khaw diklai ah pungtai saeh,” a ti.
23 And the evening and morning were the fifth day.
Te vaengah hlaem neh mincang aka om te a nga khohnin la om.
24 And God said: Let the earth bring forth the living creature in its kind, cattle and creeping things, and beasts of the earth, according to their kinds. And it was so done.
Te phoeiah Pathen loh, “Diklai loh mulhing hinglu te amah hui la, rhamsa khaw, rhulcai khaw, diklai mulhing khaw amah hui la thoeng sak saeh,” a ti. Te dongah thoeng tangloeng.
25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and cattle, and every thing that creepeth on the earth after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Te dongah Pathen loh diklai mulhing te amah hui la, rhamsa te khaw amah hui la, diklai rhulcai boeih khaw amah hui la a saii. Te te Pathen loh a then la a hmuh.
26 And he said: Let us make man to our image and likeness: and let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts, and the whole earth, and every creeping creature that moveth upon the earth.
Te phoeiah Pathen loh, “Mamih mueiloh la mamih muei neh hlang saii uh sih lamtah tuitunli kah nga soah khaw, vaan kah vaa soah khaw, rhamsa soah khaw, diklai kah a cungkuem soah khaw, diklai ah aka colh rhulcai cungkuem soah khaw, taemrhai uh saeh,” a ti.
27 And God created man to his own image: to the image of God he created him: male and female he created them.
Te dongah Pathen loh, amah muei la hlang a suen. Pathen kah muei la tongpa khaw a suen tih huta khaw a suen.
28 And God blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move upon the earth.
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.
29 And God said: Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed upon the earth, and all trees that have in themselves seed of their own kind, to be your meat:
Te phoeiah Pathen loh, “Diklai hman boeih kah a tii aka om baelhing boeih neh a thaih ah a muu aka om thing neh, thing boeih khaw nangmih ham ka khueh coeng ne, nangmih ham cakok la om ni,” a ti nah.
30 And to all beasts of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to all that move upon the earth, and wherein there is life, that they may have to feed upon. And it was so done.
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.
31 And God saw all the things that he had made, and they were very good. And the evening and morning were the sixth day.
Pathen loh a saii boeih te a sawt vaengah bahoeng then coeng ne. Te vaengah hlaem neh mincang om tih a rhuk hnin la om.
