Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth.
Nan kòmansman an Bondye te kreye syèl yo ak tè a.
2 But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved over the water.
Latè te san fòm e vid, epi tenèb la te sou tout sifas fon an, e Lespri Bondye t ap ajite sou fas dlo a.
3 And God said, Let there be light, and there was light.
Alò Bondye te di: “Ke li gen limyè”. Epi te gen limyè.
4 And God saw the light that it was good, and God divided between the light and the darkness.
Bondye te wè ke limyè a te bon. Bondye te separe limyè a avèk tenèb la.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night, and there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
Bondye te rele limyè a jou, e tenèb la, Li te rele li lannwit. Konsa, te gen aswè, ak maten, yon jou.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and let it be a division between water and water, and it was so.
Alò Bondye te di: “Ke vin gen yon gran espas nan mitan dlo yo, e ke li separe dlo avèk dlo”.
7 And God made the firmament, and God divided between the water which was under the firmament and the water which was above the firmament.
Bondye te fè gran espas la. Li te separe dlo ki te anba gran espas la, avèk lo ki te anwo gran espas la. Se konsa sa te ye.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven, and God saw that it was good, and there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
Bondye te rele gran espas la syèl. Epi te gen aswè, e te gen maten, yon dezyèm jou.
9 And God said, Let the water which is under the heaven be collected into one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And the water which was under the heaven was collected into its places, and the dry land appeared.
Alò Bondye te di: “Ke dlo anba syèl yo vin rasanble nan yon plas, e ke tè sèch la vin parèt”. Konsa, sa te vin fèt.
10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters he called Seas, and God saw that it was good.
Bondye te rele pati sèch la tè, ak dlo ki rasanble yo, lanmè. Epi Bondye te wè ke sa te bon.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and it was so.
Epi Bondye te di: “Ke latè a boujonnen avèk bagay vèt; plant ki donnen grenn selon espès pa yo, ak bwa k ap donnen fwi avèk grenn nan yo selon espès pa yo”. Konsa, sa te vin fèt.
12 And the earth brought forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and God saw that it was good.
Latè te pwodwi bagay vèt, plant ki donnen grenn selon espès pa yo, ak pyebwa ki pwodwi fwi avèk grenn sou yo selon espès pa yo. Bondye te wè ke sa te bon.
13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
Te gen aswè, ak maten, yon twazyèm jou.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, to divide between day and night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and for years.
Alò Bondye te di: “Ke vin gen limyè nan gran espas syèl yo pou separe jou avèk nwit lan, e ke yo vin kòm sign pou sezon yo, pou jou avèk lane yo;
15 And let them be for light in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth, and it was so.
ke yo vin sèvi pou limyè nan gran espas syèl yo pou bay limyè sou latè”. Konsa, sa te vin fèt.
16 And God made the two great lights, the greater light for regulating the day and the lesser light for regulating the night, the stars also.
Bondye te fè de gran limyè, pi gran an pou gouvène lajounen, e pi piti a pou gouvène lannwit. Anplis, Li te fè zetwal yo.
17 And God placed them in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth,
Bondye te plase yo nan gran espas syèl yo pou bay limyè sou latè,
18 and to regulate day and night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
epi pou gouvène lajounen avèk lannwit, e pou separe limyè a avèk tenèb la. Bondye te wè ke sa te bon.
19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
Te gen aswè, e te gen maten, yon katriyèm jou.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth reptiles having life, and winged creatures flying above the earth in the firmament of heaven, and it was so.
Alò Bondye te di: “Ke dlo yo vin ranpli avèk anpil kreyati vivan, e ke zwazo yo vole anwo tè a nan gran espas syèl yo.”
21 And God made great whales, and every living reptile, which the waters brought forth according to their kinds, and every creature that flies with wings according to its kind, and God saw that they were good.
Bondye te kreye gwo bèt sovaj lanmè avèk tout kreyati vivan ki fè mouvman. Dlo yo te plen bèt selon espès pa yo, e chak zwazo selon espès pa l. Bondye te wè ke sa te bon.
22 And God blessed them saying, Increase and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the creatures that fly be multiplied on the earth.
Bondye te beni yo. Li te di: “Fè pitit, e vin miltipliye. Ranpli dlo nan lanmè yo, e kite zwazo yo vin miltipliye sou tè a.”
23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
Te gen aswè ak maten, yon senkyèm jou.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind, quadrupeds and reptiles and wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and it was so.
Alò, Bondye te di, “Ke tè a vin pwodwi kreyati vivan dapre espès pa yo; bèt domestik, reptil, avèk bèt latè selon espès yo”. Se konsa li te fèt.
25 And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and cattle according to their kind, and all the reptiles of the earth according to their kind, and God saw that they were good.
Bondye te fè bèt latè yo selon espès yo, ak bèt gade yo dapre espès yo, tout bèt ki trennen atè dapre espès yo; epi Bondye te wè ke sa te bon.
26 And God said, Let us make man according to our image and likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of heaven, and over the cattle and all the earth, and over all the reptiles that creep on the earth.
Alò Bondye te di, “Annou fè lòm nan limaj Nou, menm jan ke Nou sanble a, e ke yo vin mèt sou tout pwason nan lanmè, sou zwazo yo nan syèl yo, sou bèt domestik nan chan yo, ak sou tout bèt reptil ki ranpe atè”.
27 And God made man, according to the image of God he made him, male and female he made them.
Bondye te kreye lòm, nan pwòp imaj pa Li, nan imaj Bondye Li te kreye li; mal avèk femèl Li te kreye yo.
28 And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the seas and flying creatures of heaven, and all the cattle and all the earth, and all the reptiles that creep on the earth.
Bondye te beni yo; Li te di yo, “Se pou nou vin fekon. Fè pitit pou ranpli latè, e domine sou li; se pou nou vin mèt sou pwason lanmè yo ak zwazo anlè yo, sou chak bèt vivan kab fè mouvman sou tè a”.
29 And God said, Behold I have given to you every seed-bearing herb sowing seed which is upon all the earth, and every tree which has in itself the fruit of seed that is sown, to you it shall be for food.
Alò Bondye te di, “Gade byen, Mwen bannou chak plant ki donnen grenn sou sifas tout tè a, ak chak bwa ki gen fwi avèk grenn li; li va sèvi kòm manje pou nou;
30 And to all the wild beasts of the earth, and to all the flying creatures of heaven, and to every reptile creeping on the earth, which has in itself the breath of life, even every green plant for food; and it was so.
Epi a chak bèt latè ak chak zwazo syèl a, chak bagay kab fè mouvman ou tè a, bagay ki gen lavi, Mwen te bay chak plant vèt pou manje”; epi se te konsa.
31 And God saw all the things that he had made, and, behold, they were very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Bondye te wè tout sa Li te kreye yo, e gade byen, sa te trè bon. Te gen aswè, ak maten, sizyèm jou.
