Genesis 1
1 IN the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
A cuekca vaengah Pathen loh vaan neh diklai a suen.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of 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, Let there be light: and there was light.
Tedae Pathen loh, “Vangnah om saeh,” a ti dongah vangnah om.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God 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 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first 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 in the midst of 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 the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which 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 the 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 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.
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 called he 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 God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
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 grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his 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 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:
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 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
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; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
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 God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light 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 over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from 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 the morning were the fourth day.
Te vaengah hlaem neh mincang om tih a li khohnin la om.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open 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 great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his 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 God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in 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 the 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 after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
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 beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his 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 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.
Te phoeiah Pathen loh, “Mamih mueiloh la mamih muei neh hlang saii uhsih 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 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he 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, 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 moveth 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, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for 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 every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
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 every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the 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.
