Genesis 1
1 IN THE beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Nan kòmansman an Bondye te kreye syèl yo ak tè a.
2 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.
Latè te san fòm e vid, epi tenèb la te sou tout sifas fon an, e Lespri Bondye t ap ajite sou fas dlo a.
3 And God said: 'Let there be light.' And there was light.
Alò Bondye te di: “Ke li gen limyè”. Epi te gen limyè.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
Bondye te wè ke limyè a te bon. Bondye te separe limyè a avèk tenèb la.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
Bondye te rele limyè a jou, e tenèb la, Li te rele li lannwit. Konsa, te gen aswè, ak maten, yon jou.
6 And God said: 'Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.'
Alò Bondye te di: “Ke vin gen yon gran espas nan mitan dlo yo, e ke li separe dlo avèk dlo”.
7 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.
Bondye te fè gran espas la. Li te separe dlo ki te anba gran espas la, avèk lo ki te anwo gran espas la. Se konsa sa te ye.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
Bondye te rele gran espas la syèl. Epi te gen aswè, e te gen maten, yon dezyèm jou.
9 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.
Alò Bondye te di: “Ke dlo anba syèl yo vin rasanble nan yon plas, e ke tè sèch la vin parèt”. Konsa, sa te vin fèt.
10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters called He Seas; and God saw that it was good.
Bondye te rele pati sèch la tè, ak dlo ki rasanble yo, lanmè. Epi Bondye te wè ke sa te bon.
11 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.
Epi Bondye te di: “Ke latè a boujonnen avèk bagay vèt; plant ki donnen grenn selon espès pa yo, ak bwa k ap donnen fwi avèk grenn nan yo selon espès pa yo”. Konsa, sa te vin fèt.
12 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.
Latè te pwodwi bagay vèt, plant ki donnen grenn selon espès pa yo, ak pyebwa ki pwodwi fwi avèk grenn sou yo selon espès pa yo. Bondye te wè ke sa te bon.
13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
Te gen aswè, ak maten, yon twazyèm jou.
14 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;
Alò Bondye te di: “Ke vin gen limyè nan gran espas syèl yo pou separe jou avèk nwit lan, e ke yo vin kòm sign pou sezon yo, pou jou avèk lane yo;
15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.' And it was so.
ke yo vin sèvi pou limyè nan gran espas syèl yo pou bay limyè sou latè”. Konsa, sa te vin fèt.
16 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.
Bondye te fè de gran limyè, pi gran an pou gouvène lajounen, e pi piti a pou gouvène lannwit. Anplis, Li te fè zetwal yo.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Bondye te plase yo nan gran espas syèl yo pou bay limyè sou latè,
18 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.
epi pou gouvène lajounen avèk lannwit, e pou separe limyè a avèk tenèb la. Bondye te wè ke sa te bon.
19 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
Te gen aswè, e te gen maten, yon katriyèm jou.
20 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.'
Alò Bondye te di: “Ke dlo yo vin ranpli avèk anpil kreyati vivan, e ke zwazo yo vole anwo tè a nan gran espas syèl yo.”
21 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.
Bondye te kreye gwo bèt sovaj lanmè avèk tout kreyati vivan ki fè mouvman. Dlo yo te plen bèt selon espès pa yo, e chak zwazo selon espès pa l. Bondye te wè ke sa te bon.
22 And God blessed them, saying: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.'
Bondye te beni yo. Li te di: “Fè pitit, e vin miltipliye. Ranpli dlo nan lanmè yo, e kite zwazo yo vin miltipliye sou tè a.”
23 And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
Te gen aswè ak maten, yon senkyèm jou.
24 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.
Alò, Bondye te di, “Ke tè a vin pwodwi kreyati vivan dapre espès pa yo; bèt domestik, reptil, avèk bèt latè selon espès yo”. Se konsa li te fèt.
25 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.
Bondye te fè bèt latè yo selon espès yo, ak bèt gade yo dapre espès yo, tout bèt ki trennen atè dapre espès yo; epi Bondye te wè ke sa te bon.
26 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.'
Alò Bondye te di, “Annou fè lòm nan limaj Nou, menm jan ke Nou sanble a, e ke yo vin mèt sou tout pwason nan lanmè, sou zwazo yo nan syèl yo, sou bèt domestik nan chan yo, ak sou tout bèt reptil ki ranpe atè”.
27 And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.
Bondye te kreye lòm, nan pwòp imaj pa Li, nan imaj Bondye Li te kreye li; mal avèk femèl Li te kreye yo.
28 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.'
Bondye te beni yo; Li te di yo, “Se pou nou vin fekon. Fè pitit pou ranpli latè, e domine sou li; se pou nou vin mèt sou pwason lanmè yo ak zwazo anlè yo, sou chak bèt vivan kab fè mouvman sou tè a”.
29 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;
Alò Bondye te di, “Gade byen, Mwen bannou chak plant ki donnen grenn sou sifas tout tè a, ak chak bwa ki gen fwi avèk grenn li; li va sèvi kòm manje pou nou;
30 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.
Epi a chak bèt latè ak chak zwazo syèl a, chak bagay kab fè mouvman ou tè a, bagay ki gen lavi, Mwen te bay chak plant vèt pou manje”; epi se te konsa.
31 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.
Bondye te wè tout sa Li te kreye yo, e gade byen, sa te trè bon. Te gen aswè, ak maten, sizyèm jou.
