Genesis 1
1 In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth,
Naʻe fakatupu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻae langi mo māmani.
2 and the earth was formless and void, and darkness [was] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God [was] fluttering on the face of the waters,
Pea naʻe fuofuonoa ʻa māmani mo lala; pea naʻe fakapoʻuli ʻae funga ʻoe loloto. Pea naʻe ʻōʻōfaki ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua ki he fukahi vai.
3 and God says, “Let light be”; and light is.
Pea folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Ke maama pea naʻe maama ai.”
4 And God sees that the light [is] good, and God separates between the light and the darkness,
Pea ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua ki he maama, kuo lelei ia: pea naʻe vaheʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae maama mei he poʻuli.
5 and God calls the light “Day,” and the darkness He has called “Night”; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—day one.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae maama ko e “ʻAho,” pea ne ui ʻae poʻuli ko e “Pō.” Pea ko e efiafi mo e pongipongi ko e ʻuluaki ʻaho ia.
6 And God says, “Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.”
Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Ke ai ʻae ʻatā ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ngaahi vai, ke vaheʻi ʻae ngaahi vai mei he ngaahi vai.”
7 And God makes the expanse, and it separates between the waters which [are] under the expanse, and the waters which [are] above the expanse: and it is so.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻae ʻatā, pea vaheʻi ʻae ngaahi vai naʻe ʻi he lalo ʻatā, mei he ngaahi vai naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ʻatā: pea naʻe hoko ia.
8 And God calls the expanse “Heavens”; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] second day.
Pea naʻe ui ʻae ʻatā ʻe he ʻOtua ko e “Langi.” Pea ko e efiafi mo e pongipongi ko hono ʻaho ua ia.
9 And God says, “Let the waters under the heavens be collected to one place, and let the dry land be seen”: and it is so.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Ke fakataha ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi he lalo langi ki he potu pe taha, pea ke hā mai ʻae mōmoa: pea naʻe hoko ia.”
10 And God calls the dry land “Earth,” and the collection of the waters He has called “Seas”; and God sees that [it is] good.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae mōmoa ko e Fonua; pea ko e ngaahi vai naʻe tānaki fakataha, naʻa ne ui ko e Tahi; pea naʻe ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua kuo lelei.
11 And God says, “Let the earth yield tender grass, herb sowing seed, fruit-tree (whose seed [is] in itself) making fruit after its kind, on the earth”: and it is so.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Ke tupu ʻae mohuku mei he kelekele, mo e ʻakau iiki ʻoku ai hono tenga, mo e ʻakau ʻoku fua, pea ʻi ai hono tenga, ʻo tatau mo hono faʻahinga:” pea naʻe hoko ia.
12 And the earth brings forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed [is] in itself) after its kind; and God sees that [it is] good;
Pea naʻe tupu mei he kelekele ʻae mohuku, mo e ʻakau iiki naʻe tupu ai ʻae tenga ʻo hono faʻahinga, mo e ʻakau ʻoku fua, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tenga ʻo hono faʻahinga: pea naʻe ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua kuo lelei.
13 and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] third day.
Pea ko e efiafi mo e pongipongi ko hono ʻaho tolu ia.
14 And God says, “Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to make a separation between the day and the night, then they have been for signs, and for appointed times, and for days and years,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Ke ai ʻae ngaahi maama ʻi he ʻatā ʻoe langi, ke vaheʻi ʻae ʻaho mei he pō; pea ke fakaʻilonga ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi faʻahitaʻu, mo e ngaahi ʻaho, mo e ngaahi taʻu:
15 and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”: and it is so.
pea ke hoko ia ko e ngaahi maama ʻi he ʻatā ʻoe langi ke fakamaama ki māmani:” pea naʻe hoko ia.
16 And God makes the two great luminaries, the great luminary for the rule of the day, and the small luminary—and the stars—for the rule of the night;
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae maama lahi ʻe ua; ko e maama lahi hake ke pule ki he ʻaho, mo e maama siʻi ke pule ki he pō: pea mo e ngaahi fetuʻu foki.
17 and God gives them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
Pea naʻe tuku ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he ʻatā ʻoe langi, ke fakamaama ki māmani,
18 and to rule over day and over night, and to make a separation between the light and the darkness; and God sees that [it is] good;
Pea ke pule ki he ʻaho mo e pō, pea ke vaheʻi ʻae maama mei he poʻuli: pea naʻe ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua kuo lelei.
19 and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fourth day.
Pea ko e efiafi mo e pongipongi ko hono ʻaho fā ia.
20 And God says, “Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature, and let [the] bird fly above the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.”
Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Ke tupu ʻo lahi ʻaupito mei he ngaahi vai ʻae meʻa moʻui ʻoku totolo, mo e fanga manupuna ke puna ʻi he funga ʻo māmani, ʻi he ʻatā ʻoe langi.”
21 And God creates the great dragons, and every living creature that is creeping, which the waters have teemed with, after their kind, and every bird with wing, after its kind, and God sees that [it is] good.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi tofuaʻa lalahi, mo e meʻa moʻui kotoa pē naʻe ngaolo, ʻaia ne tupu lahi ʻaupito mei he ngaahi vai ʻi honau faʻahinga, mo e fanga manupuna kotoa pē ʻi honau faʻahinga pea naʻe ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua kuo lelei.
22 And God blesses them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the bird multiply in the earth”:
Pea naʻe tāpuakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, “Mou fanafanau, mo tupu ke lahi, pea fakafonu ʻae ngaahi vai ʻoe tahi, pea ke tupu ke lahi ʻae fanga manupuna ʻi māmani.
23 and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fifth day.
Pea ko e efiafi mo e pongipongi ko hono ʻaho nima ia.
24 And God says, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, livestock and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind”: and it is so.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Ke tupu mei he fonua ʻae meʻa moʻui ʻi hono faʻahinga, ʻae fanga manu, mo e meʻa totolo, mo e manu ʻoe vao ʻi hono faʻahinga:” pea naʻe hoko ia.
25 And God makes the beast of the earth after its kind, and the livestock after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, and God sees that [it is] good.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae manu ʻoe vao ʻi hono faʻahinga, mo e fanga manu lalahi ʻi honau faʻahinga, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku totolo ʻi he funga fonua ʻi hono faʻahinga: pea naʻe ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua kuo lelei ia.
26 And God says, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.”
Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Ke tau ngaohi ʻae tangata ʻi hotau tatau, mo e tau anga: pea kenau pule ki he ika ʻoe tahi, mo e manupuna ʻoe ʻatā, mo e fanga manu, mo māmani kotoa pē, mo e meʻa totolo kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue ʻi he kelekele.”
27 And God creates the man in His image; in the image of God He created him, a male and a female He created them.
Ko ia naʻe ngaohi ʻae tangata ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi hono tatau, naʻa ne ngaohi ia ʻi he tatau ʻoe ʻOtua; naʻa ne ngaohi ʻakinaua ko e tangata mo e fefine.
28 And God blesses them, and God says to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping on the earth.”
Pea naʻe tāpuakiʻi ʻakinaua ʻe he ʻOtua, pea folofola ʻae ʻOtua kiate kinaua, “Fanafanau, mo fakatokolahi, mo fakakakai ʻa māmani, pea pule ki ai: pea pule ki he ika ʻoe tahi, mo e fanga manupuna ʻoe ʻatā, mo e meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue ʻi he funga ʻo māmani.”
29 And God says, “Behold, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which [is] on the face of all the earth, and every tree in which [is] the fruit of a tree sowing seed, to you it is for food;
Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Vakai, kuo u foaki kiate kimoua ʻae ʻakau iiki kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai hono tenga, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he funga ʻoe fonua kotoa, mo e ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoku fua ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai hono tenga; ko ia ia ke mo kai.
30 and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to every creeping thing on the earth, in which [is] breath of life, every green herb [is] for food”: and it is so.
Pea ko e fanga manu kotoa pē ʻi he fonua, mo e fanga manupuna kotoa pē ʻoe ʻatā, mo e meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku totolo ʻi he fonua, ʻe kai ʻi he ʻakaulaumata kotoa pē:” pea naʻe hoko ia.
31 And God sees all that He has done, and behold, [it is] very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—the sixth day.
Pea naʻe ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne ngaohi, pea vakai, naʻe lelei ʻaupito. Pea ko e efiafi mo e pongipongi ko hono ʻaho ono ia.
