1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
Lo ngumlando olotshiweyo ngosendo luka-Adamu. Lapho uNkulunkulu edala umuntu, wamenza ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu.
2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
