Genesis 5
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;
Lolu lugwalo lwezizukulwana zikaAdamu. Mhla uNkulunkulu edala umuntu, wamenza ngokomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu.
2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
