Genesis 1
1 IN THE beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Tangsuek naah Sithaw mah van hoi long to sak.
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.
Long loe tungkrang om ai, kong sut; kaving loe kathuk nuiah oh. Sithaw ih Muithla loe tui nuiah angtawt.
3 And God said: 'Let there be light.' And there was light.
Sithaw mah, Aanghaih om nasoe, tiah thuih pongah, Aanghaih to oh.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
Sithaw mah aanghaih to hnuk naah hoih, tiah thuih; Sithaw mah aanghaih to kaving thung hoiah tapraek.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
Ka-aang to Sithaw mah Khodai, tiah kawk moe, kaving to Khoving, tiah kawk. To tiah duem hoi khawn to oh moe, amtong tangsuekhaih niah oh.
6 And God said: 'Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.'
Sithaw mah, Tuinawk um ah van hma to om nasoe loe, tui thung hoiah tui to ampraek nasoe, tiah thuih.
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.
To pongah Sithaw mah van hma to sak moe, van hma tlim ih tui hoi van hma ranui ih tui to tapraek; a thuih ih lok baktih toengah oh.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
Sithaw mah van hma to van, tiah kawk; to tiah duem hoi khawn to oh; to loe ni hnetto haih ah oh.
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.
Sithaw mah, tuinawk loe van tlim ah nawnto angcu o nasoe loe, saoeng to amtueng nasoe, tiah thuih; a thuih ih lok baktih toengah oh.
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.
Sithaw mah kaphui long to saoeng, tiah kawk moe, nawnto angcuu tui to tuipui, tiah kawk; a sak ih hmuen to Sithaw mah hnuk naah hoih, tiah thuih.
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.
Sithaw mah, Saoeng nuiah phroh, amuu kaom aan kahingnawk, amuu kaom thingthai congca kathai thingkungnawk to amprawk o nasoe, tiah thuih; a thuih ih lok baktih toengah oh.
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.
Long ah phroh to amprawk, amuu kaom aan congca hoi thingthai congca to amprawk o; a sak ih hmuen to Sithaw mah hnuk naah hoih, tiah thuih.
13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
Duem hoi khawn to oh, to loe ni thumto haih ah oh.
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;
Sithaw mah, khoving thung hoi khodai to tapraek hanah, van hma ah aanghaih to om nasoe, atuenawk, aninawk, saningnawk loe angmathaih ah om nasoe,
15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.' And it was so.
long to aanghaih paek hanah van hma ah aanghaih to om nasoe, tiah thuih; a thuih ih lok baktih toengah oh.
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.
Sithaw mah aanghaih paekkung kalen hnetto sak, kalen kue khodai ukkung ka-aang hoi kathoeng kue khoving ukkung ka-aang to a sak; cakaehnawk doeh a sak.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Long to aanghaih paek hanah, to aanghaih to Sithaw mah van hma ah suek.
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.
Khodai hoi khoving to uk moe, khoving thung hoi khodai to tapraek hanah, to tiah a suek; a sak ih hmuen to Sithaw mah hnuk naah hoih, tiah thuih.
19 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
Duem hoi khawn to oh, to loe ni palito haih ah oh.
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.'
Sithaw mah, tui thungah Hinghaih katawn, kangtawt thaih moi congca to om nasoe loe, long ranui ah kaom kawk parai van hma ah tavaanawk to azawk o nasoe, tiah thuih.
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.
To tiah Sithaw mah kalen parai tuipui thungah tanga pui, hinghaih katawn angtawt thaih moi congca hoi azawk thaih tava congca doeh pungsak; a sak ih hmuen to Sithaw mah hnuk naah hoih, tiah thuih.
22 And God blessed them, saying: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.'
To a sak ih moinawk to Sithaw mah tahamhoihaih paek, Athaih pop nasoe loe, tuipui koi mongah pung o nasoe, tavaanawk doeh long ah pung o nasoe, tiah thuih.
23 And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
Duem hoi khawn to oh, to loe ni pangato haih ah oh.
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.
Sithaw mah, Hinghaih tawn pacah ih moi congca, long ah kavak moinawk, taw ah kaom congca moinawk loe long mah pungsak nasoe, tiah thuih; a thuih ih lok baktih toengah oh.
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.
Sithaw mah taw ih congca moi, pacah ih congca moi, long ah kavak angtawt thaih congca moi to sak; a sak ih hmuen to Sithaw mah hnuk naah hoih, tiah thuih.
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.'
To pacoengah Sithaw mah, Kami hae aimacae tungkrang baktih, aimacae hoi kanghmong ah sah si loe, tuipui thung ih tanganawk, van ih tavaanawk, long ah pacah ih moinawk, long ah kavak moinawk boih to uk nasoe, tiah thuih.
27 And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.
To pongah Sithaw mah kami to angmah ih tungkrang baktih toengah sak; Sithaw krang hoi kanghmong ah nongpa hoi nongpata to sak.
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.'
Sithaw mah, nihnik khaeah, Athaih athai hoih, pung hoih, long ah koi hoi ah loe, long to uk hoih; tuipui thung ih tanganawk, van ih tavaanawk, long nuiah kavak hinghaih katawn moinawk boih to uk hoih, tiah tahamhoihaih paek.
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;
To pacoengah Sithaw mah, Khenah, long pum ah amuu kaom ann congca, thingthaikung congca to kang paek; to hmuennawk loe nang hnik ih buh ah om tih.
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.
Na caak hoi hanah, long ah kaom taw ih moinawk boih, van ih tavaanawk boih, long ah kavak hinghaih tawn moinawk boih, anqam congca to kang paek, tiah a naa. A thuih ih lok baktih toengah oh.
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.
A sak ih hmuennawk boih Sithaw mah khet naah, Hoih parai, tiah thuih. Duem hoi khawn to oh, to loe ni tarukto haih ah oh.
