Genesis 1
1 IN THE beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Jalqabatti Waaqni samiiwwanii fi lafa uume.
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.
Lafti kan bifa hin qabnee fi duwwaa turte; dukkannis tuujuba irra ture; Hafuurri Waaqaas bishaan irra sosochoʼa ture.
3 And God said: 'Let there be light.' And there was light.
Waaqnis, “Ifni haa taʼu” jedhe; ifnis ni taʼe.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
Waaqnis akka ifni sun gaarii taʼe arge; ifaa fi dukkanas gargar baase.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
Waaqnis ifa sanaan “Guyyaa” jedhe; dukkana sanaan immoo “Halkan” jedhee moggaase. Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa tokkoffaa.
6 And God said: 'Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.'
Waaqnis, “Bishaanii fi bishaan gargar baasuuf bantiin bishaanota gidduu haa jiraatu” jedhe.
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.
Kanaafuu Waaqni bantii tolchee bishaan bantii jalaatii fi kan bantiin olii gargar baase. Akkasumas taʼe.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
Waaqnis bantii sana “samii” jedhee moggaase. Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa lammaffaa.
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.
Waaqnis, “Bishaan samiidhaa gad jiru iddoo tokkotti walitti haa qabamu; lafti gogaanis haa mulʼatu” jedhe. Akkasumas taʼe.
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.
Waaqni lafa gogaa sanaan “lafa” jedhe; bishaanicha walitti qabameen immoo “galaana” jedhee moggaase. Waaqnis wanni kun akka gaarii taʼe arge.
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.
Ammas Waaqni, “Lafti biqiltuuwwan haa baastu; biqiltuuwwan akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti sanyii baasan, mukkeen ija kennanii iji isaanii immoo sanyii of keessaa qabu adduma addaan akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti lafa irratti haa argaman” jedhe. Akkasumas taʼe.
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.
Laftis biqiltuu akkuma gosa isaatti sanyii baasu, muka ija kennu, kan iji isaas sanyii of keessaa qabu adduma addaan akkuma gosa isaatti baaste. Waaqnis wanni kun akka gaarii taʼe arge.
13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa sadaffaa.
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;
Waaqnis akkana jedhe; “Guyyaa fi halkan gargar baasuuf bantii samii irratti ifawwan haa taʼan; isaanis mallattoowwan waqtiileen, guyyoonnii fi waggoonni ittiin beekaman haa taʼan;
15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.' And it was so.
isaanis ifawwan bantii samii irraa kan lafaaf ifa kennan haa taʼan.” Akkasumas taʼe.
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.
Waaqni ifa gurguddaa lama uume; kunis akka ifni guddaan guyyaa, inni xinnaan immoo halkan moʼuuf. Akkasuma urjiiwwan illee uume.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Waaqnis akka isaan lafaaf ifa kennaniif bantii samii irra isaan kaaʼe;
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.
kunis akka isaan guyyaa fi halkan moʼanii fi akka ifa sana dukkana irraa gargar baasaniif. Waaqnis wanni kun akka gaarii taʼe arge.
19 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa afuraffaa.
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.'
Waaqnis, “Bishaan uumamawwan lubbu qabeeyyii munyuuqaniin haa guutamu; simbirroonnis lafaa olitti, bantii samii keessa haa barrisan” jedhe.
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.
Kanaafuu Waaqni uumamawwan galaanaa gurguddaa, lubbu qabeeyyii munyuuqan kanneen galaana keessa jiraatan hundaa fi simbirroota qoochoo qaban hunda akkuma gosa isaaniitti uume. Waaqnis wanni kun akka gaarii taʼe arge.
22 And God blessed them, saying: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.'
Waaqnis, “Horaa; baayʼadhaa; bishaan galaanotaas guutaa; simbirroonnis lafa irratti haa baayʼatan” jedhee isaan eebbise.
23 And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa shanaffaa.
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.
Waaqnis, “Lafti akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti uumamawwan lubbuu qabeeyyii jechuunis horii, uumamawwan lafa irra mumunyuuqan, bineensota akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti haa kennitu” jedhe. Akkasumas taʼe.
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.
Waaqni bineensota akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti, horii akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti, uumamawwan lafa irra mumunyuuqanis akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti uume. Waaqni wanni kun akka gaarii taʼe arge.
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.'
Waaqnis, “Kottaa akka bifa keenyaatti, akka fakkeenya keenyaattis nama uumnaa; isaanis qurxummii galaanaa irratti, simbirroo samii irratti, horii irratti, lafa hundumaa fi uumamawwan lafa irra munyuuqan hundumaa irratti aangoo haa qabaatan” jedhe.
27 And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.
Kanaafuu Waaqni akka bifa isaatti nama uume; akka bifa Waaqaatti isa uume; innis dhiiraa fi dubartii taasisee isaan uume.
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.'
Waaqnis isaan eebbisee, “Horaa, baayʼadhaas; lafa guutaatii harka keessan jalattis bulfadhaa. Qurxummii galaanaa irratti, simbirroota samii irratti, uumama lafa irra munyuuqu hunda irratti aangoo qabaadhaa” jedheen.
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;
Ergasii Waaqni akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani akka isaan nyaata isinii taʼaniif biqiltuu lafa hunda irratti sanyii kennu hundaa fi muka iji isaa sanyii of keessaa qabu gosa hunda isinii kenneera.
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.
Anis bineensa lafaa hundaaf, simbirroota samii hundaaf, uumama lafa irra munyuuqu hundaaf jechuunis waan hafuura jireenyaa of keessaa qabu hundaaf akka nyaata isaanii taʼuuf biqiltuu lalisaa hunda nan kenna.” Akkasumas taʼe.
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.
Waaqnis waan hojjete hunda ilaale; wanni sunis dhugumaan gaarii ture. Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa jaʼaffaa.
