Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
He mea hanga na te atua i te timatanga te rangi me te whenua.
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.
A kahore he ahua o te whenua, i takoto kau; he pouri ano a runga i te mata o te hohonu. Na ka whakapaho te Wairua o te Atua i runga i te kare o nga wai.
3 And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.
A ka ki te Atua, Kia marama: na ka marama.
4 And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided between the light and the darkness.
A ka kite te Atua i te marama, he pai: a ka wehea e te Atua te marama i te pouri.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And it was evening and it was morning, the first day.
Na ka huaina e te Atua te marama ko te Awatea, a ko te pouri i huaina e ia ko te Po. A ko te ahiahi, ko te ata, he ra kotahi.
6 And God said, Let there be an expansion in the midst of the waters, and let it divide between waters and waters.
Na ka mea te Atua, Kia whai kikorangi a waenganui o nga wai, hei wehe i waenganui o nga wai.
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.
Na ka hanga e te Atua te kikorangi, ka wehea e ia nga wai i raro o te kikorangi i nga wai o runga o te kikorangi: a ka oti.
8 And God called the expansion Heaven. And it was evening and it was morning, the second day.
Na ka huaina te kikorangi e te Atua ko te Rangi. A ko te ahiahi, ko te ata, he ra tuarua.
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.
Na ka mea te Atua, Kia huihuia nga wai i raro i te rangi kia kotahi te wahi, a kia puta te tuawhenua: a ka oti.
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.
Na ka huaina e te Atua te tuawhenua ko te Whenua; a ko te huihuinga o nga wai i huaina e ia ko nga Moana: a ka kite te Atua, he pai.
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.
Na ka mea te Atua, Kia pihi ake te tarutaru i te whenua, te otaota whai purapura, me te rakau hua, ki runga ki te whenua, e hua ana ona hua, he mea rite tonu ki a ia, kei roto nei i a ia ona purapura: a ka oti.
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.
Na ka whakaputaina e te whenua te tarutaru, te otaota hoki e hua ana ona hua he mea rite tonu ki a ia, me te rakau whai hua, kei roto nei i a ia ona purapura he mea rite tonu ki a ia: a ka kite te Atua, he pai.
13 And it was evening and it was morning, the third day.
A ko te ahiahi, ko te ata, he ra tuatoru.
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;
Na ka mea te Atua, Kia whai mea whakamarama te kiko o te rangi, hei wehe i te awatea, i te po; hei tohu ano aua mea, hei taima, hei ra, hei tau:
15 And let them be for lights in the expansion of the heaven, to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Hei whakamarama aua mea i te kiko o te rangi, hei whakamarama i te whenua: a ka oti.
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.
Na ka hanga e te Atua nga mea whakamarama nui e rua; ko te whakamarama nui hei tohutohu mo te awatea, ko te whakamarama tuaiti hei tohutohu mo te po: i hanga ano hoki e ia nga whetu.
17 And God set them in the expansion of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
A whakanohoia ana aua mea e te Atua ki te kiko o te rangi, hei whakamarama mo te whenua,
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.
Hei tohutohu i te awatea, i te po, hei wehe hoki i te marama, i te pouri: a ka kite te Atua, he pai.
19 And it was evening and it was morning, the fourth day.
A ko te ahiahi, ko te ata, he ra tuawha.
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.
Na ka mea te Atua, Kia ngahue ake i roto i nga wai te mea ora e ngoki ana, kia rere ano hoki te manu i runga ake i te whenua i te mata o te kiko o te rangi.
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.
Na ka hanga e te Atua nga tohora nunui, me nga mea ora katoa, nga mea ngokingoki i ngahue ake nei i roto i nga wai, o ia ahua, o ia ahua, me nga manu whai parirau katoa, o ia ahau, o ia ahua: a ka kite te Atua, he pai.
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.
Na ka manaaki te Atua i a ratou, ka mea, Kia hua koutou, kia tini, kia kapi hoki nga wai o nga moana i a koutou, kia tini ano hoki nga manu ki runga ki te whenua.
23 And it was evening and it was morning, the fifth day.
A ko te ahiahi, ko te ata, he ra tuarima.
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.
Na ka mea te Atua, Kia whakaputaina e te whenua te mea ora o ia ahua, o ia ahua, te kararehe me te mea ngokingoki me te kirehe o te whenua o ia ahua, o ia ahua: a ka oti.
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.
Na ka hanga e te Atua te kirehe o te whenua o ia ahua, o ia ahua, me te kararehe o ia ahua, o ia ahua, me nga mea ngokingoki katoa o te whenua o ia ahua, o ia ahua: a ka kite te Atua he pai.
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.
Na ka mea te Atua, Kia hanga tatou i te tangata kia rite ki a tatou, hei to tatou ano te ahua: a kia waiho ko ratou hei rangatira mo nga ika o te moana, mo te manu o te rangi, mo nga kararehe hoki, mo te whenua katoa, mo nga mea ngokingoki katoa ano hoki e ngokingoki ana i runga i te whenua.
27 And God created man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Na ka hanga e te Atua te tangata rite tonu ki a ia; i hanga ia e ia kia rite ki te Atua; i hanga raua he tane, he wahine.
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.
Na ka manaakitia raua e te Atua, a ka mea te Atua ki a raua, Kia hua, kia tini, kia kapi hoki te whenua i a korua, kia mate hoki ona tara i a korua: ko korua hei rangatira mo te ika o te moana, mo te manu hoki o te rangi, mo nga mea ora katoa an o hoki e ngokingoki ana i runga i te whenua.
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.
A ka mea te Atua, Na, kua oti te hoatu e ahau ki a korua nga otaota katoa e whai purapura ana i runga i te mata o te whenua katoa, me te rakau katoa, he hua rakau tona e whai purapura ana; hei kai ena ma korua:
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.
A kua hoatu ano e ahau nga otaota matomato katoa hei kai ma nga kararehe katoa o te whenua, ma nga manu katoa o te rangi, ma nga mea katoa hoki e ngokingoki ana i runga i te whenua kei roto nei i a ratou he wairua ora: a ka oti.
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.
A ka kite te Atua i nga mea katoa kua hanga nei e ia, na, pai whakaharahara. A ko te ahiahi, ko te ata, ko te ra tuaono.
