Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Na mmalite Chineke kere eluigwe na ụwa.
2 And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God was waving over the face of the waters.
Ụwa bụ ihe na-enweghị ụdịdị ọbụla, bụrụkwa ihe tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Ọchịchịrị gbara nʼelu ogbu mmiri dị omimi. Mmụọ nke Chineke na-erugharị nʼelu ogbu mmiri ahụ.
3 And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.
Mgbe ahụ Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka ìhè dị,” ìhè dịkwara.
4 And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided between the light and the darkness.
Chineke hụrụ na ìhè ahụ mara mma. Ọ kpara oke nʼetiti ìhè na ọchịchịrị.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And it was evening and it was morning, the first day.
Chineke kpọrọ ìhè ahụ Ehihie, kpọọ ọchịchịrị ahụ Abalị. Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke mbụ.
6 And God said, Let there be an expansion in the midst of the waters, and let it divide between waters and waters.
Chineke kwukwara sị, “Ka mbara pụta nke ga-ekewapụ mmiri dị nʼelu mbara ahụ site na mmiri nke dị nʼokpuru mbara ahụ”
7 And God made the expansion, and divided between the waters which were under the expansion and the waters which were above the expansion: and it was so.
Ya mere, Chineke mere mbara, kewapụ mmiri dị nʼokpuru mbara ahụ site na mmiri nke dị nʼelu mbara ahụ. O sikwa otu a dịrị.
8 And God called the expansion Heaven. And it was evening and it was morning, the second day.
Mbara ahụ ka Chineke kpọrọ mbara eluigwe. Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke abụọ.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land be visible: and it was so.
Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka mmiri dị nʼokpuru mbara eluigwe chịkọta onwe ha ọnụ nʼotu ebe, ka ala akọrọ pụta.” O sikwa otu a dịrị.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Chineke kpọrọ ala akọrọ ahụ “ala,” kpọọ mmiri ahụ chịkọtara onwe ha ọnụ “osimiri.” Chineke lere anya hụ na ha dị mma.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, herbs yielding seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, in which its seed is upon the earth: and it was so.
Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka ala pupụta ahịhịa ndụ dị iche iche: ahịhịa na-amịpụta mkpụrụ, na osisi dị nʼelu ala nke na-amịpụta mkpụrụ, nke mkpụrụ ọkụkụ ya dị nʼime ya, dịka ụdịdị ha dị iche iche si dị.” O sikwa otu a dịrị.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees yielding fruit, in which its seed is after their kind: and God saw that it was good.
Ala puputara ahịhịa ndụ dị iche iche: ahịhịa na-amịpụta mkpụrụ dịka ụdịdị ha si dị, na osisi na-amịpụta mkpụrụ, nke mkpụrụ ọkụkụ ya dị nʼime ya, dịka ụdịdị ha si dị. Chineke lere anya hụ na ọ dị mma.
13 And it was evening and it was morning, the third day.
Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke atọ.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the expansion of the heaven to divide between the day and the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years;
Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka ìhè nke na-enye ìhè dịrị na mbara eluigwe, ikewapụ ehihie site nʼabalị. Ka ha bụrụ ihe ama igosi oge dị iche iche, ụbọchị dị iche iche, na afọ dị iche iche.
15 And let them be for lights in the expansion of the heaven, to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Ka ha bụrụ ìhè na mbara eluigwe inye ìhè nʼelu ụwa.” O si otu a dịrị.
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.
Chineke mere ìhè ukwu abụọ, nke kacha ịdị ukwu ka ọ bụrụ nke ga-achị ehihie, ma nke dị nta ka ọ bụrụ nke ga-achị abalị. O mekwara kpakpando dị iche iche.
17 And God set them in the expansion of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Chineke debere ha na mbara eluigwe inye ìhè nʼụwa,
18 And to rule by day and by night, and to divide between the light and the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
ịchị ehihie na abalị na ịkpa oke nʼetiti ìhè na ọchịchịrị. Chineke lere anya hụ na ọ dị mma.
19 And it was evening and it was morning, the fourth day.
Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke anọ.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly moving creatures that have life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open expansion of the heaven.
Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka mmiri jupụta nʼihe ndị na-eku ume, ka ụmụ anụ ufe fegharịkwa nʼelu ụwa, ma nʼelu mbara igwe.”
21 And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
Ya mere Chineke kere anụ ukwu niile bi na mmiri, na anụ niile nwere ndụ bi na mmiri, na ụdị ihe ọbụla nwere ndụ na-akpụgharị akpụgharị ndị jupụtara na mmiri, dịka ụdịdị ha si dị, na anụ ufe niile dịka ụdịdị ha si dị. Chineke lere anya hụ na ọ dị mma.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the fowl multiply on the earth.
Chineke gọziri ha, sị ha, “Mụbaanụ, dịkwanụ ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ, jupụtanụ osimiri niile. Ka anụ ufe dịkwa ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ nʼelu ụwa.”
23 And it was evening and it was morning, the fifth day.
Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke ise.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind: and it was so.
Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka ala wepụta ụmụ anụ dị iche iche nwere ndụ dịka ụdịdị ha si dị: anụ ụlọ, anụ na-akpụgharị nʼala, na anụ ọhịa, nke ọbụla dịka ụdịdị ya si dị.” O si otu a dịrị.
25 And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
Chineke mere ụmụ anụ ọhịa, dịka ụdịdị ha si dị, mee anụ ụlọ, dịka ụdịdị ha si dị, na anụ niile nwere ndụ nke na-akpụgharị nʼala dịka ụdịdị ha si dị. Chineke lere anya hụ na ọ dị mma.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and they shall have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Mgbe ahụ, Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka anyị mee mmadụ nʼoyiyi anyị, dịka ụdịdị anyị si dị, ka ha chịa azụ niile nke osimiri, na anụ ufe niile nke eluigwe, na anụ ụlọ niile, na anụ ọhịa niile, na ihe niile e kere eke nwere ndụ nke na-akpụ akpụ nʼala.”
27 And God created man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Ya mere, Chineke kere mmadụ nʼoyiyi nke ya, nʼoyiyi Chineke ka o kere ha, nwoke na nwanyị ka o kere ha.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Chineke gọziri ha sị ha, “Mịanụ mkpụrụ, mụbaanụ, jupụtanụ nʼụwa, meenụ ka ihe niile dịrị nʼokpuru unu. Chịanụ azụ niile nke osimiri na anụ ufe niile nke eluigwe na ihe niile e kere dị ndụ nke na-akpụgharị akpụgharị nʼala.”
29 And God said, Behold I have given unto you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree on which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food.
Mgbe ahụ, Chineke sịrị “Enyela m unu ahịhịa ubi niile na-amị mkpụrụ dị nʼelu ụwa, na osisi ọbụla mịrị mkpụrụ, nke mkpụrụ ọkụkụ ya dị nʼime ha, ka ha bụrụ ihe oriri gị.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heaven, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, [I have given] every green herb for food: and it was so.
Ma ụmụ anụmanụ niile na anụ ufe niile, na anụ niile e kere eke na-akpụgharị akpụgharị nʼala, anụ ọbụla nwere ndụ nʼime ha ka m na-enye ahịhịa ndụ niile ka ọ bụrụ ihe oriri ha.”
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And it was evening and it was morning, the sixth day.
Chineke legharịrị anya nʼihe o kere, hụ na ọ dị ezi mma. Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke isii.
