Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ kĩa maũndũ mothe, Ngai nĩombire igũrũ na thĩ.
2 And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo thĩ ndĩarĩ ũrĩa yatariĩ na ndĩarĩ na kĩndũ, nayo nduma yarĩ igũrũ rĩa kũrĩa kũriku, nake Roho wa Ngai aareerete igũrũ rĩa maaĩ.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Nake Ngai agĩathana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩkũgĩe ũtheri,” na gũkĩgĩa ũtheri.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Ngai akĩona atĩ ũtheri ũcio warĩ mwega, nake akĩgayũkania ũtheri na nduma.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
Ngai agĩĩta ũtheri ũcio “mũthenya,” nayo nduma akĩmĩĩta “ũtukũ.” Na gũkĩgĩa hwaĩ-inĩ, na gũkĩgĩa rũciinĩ. Ũcio ũgĩtuĩka mũthenya wa mbere.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
Nake Ngai agĩathana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩkũgĩe wariĩ mũnene gatagatĩ ka maaĩ ũgayũkanie maaĩ na marĩa mangĩ.”
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai agĩĩkĩra wariĩ ũcio na akĩgayũkania maaĩ marĩa maarĩ thĩ ya wariĩ ũcio na maaĩ marĩa maarĩ igũrũ rĩaguo. Na gũgĩtuĩka o ũguo.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
Ngai agĩĩta wariĩ ũcio “matu mairũ.” Na gũkĩgĩa hwaĩ-inĩ na gũkĩgĩa rũciinĩ. Ũcio ũgĩtuĩka mũthenya wa keerĩ.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Nake Ngai agĩathana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Maaĩ marĩa marĩ thĩ ya matu mairũ nĩ mongane handũ hamwe na kũgĩe thĩ nyũmũ.” Na gũgĩtuĩka o ũguo.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Ngai agĩĩta kũrĩa kũmũ “thĩ,” namo maaĩ marĩa maacookanĩrĩire akĩmeeta “maria.” Nake Ngai akĩona atĩ ũndũ ũcio warĩ mwega.
11 And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herb yielding seed, [and] fruit tree bearing fruit after its kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so.
Ningĩ Ngai agĩathana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Thĩ nĩ ĩmere mĩmera: Mĩmera ĩrĩa ĩciaraga mbeũ, na mĩtĩ ĩrĩa ĩciaraga matunda marĩ na mbeũ thĩinĩ, kũringana na mĩthemba yayo.” Na gũgĩtuĩka o ũguo.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
Thĩ ĩkĩmera mĩmera: Mĩmera ĩgũciara mbeũ kũringana na mĩthemba yayo, na mĩtĩ ĩgũciara matunda marĩ na mbeũ thĩinĩ kũringana na mĩthemba yayo. Nake Ngai akĩona atĩ ũndũ ũcio warĩ mwega.
13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
Nakuo gũkĩgĩa hwaĩ-inĩ na gũkĩgĩa rũciinĩ. Ũcio ũgĩtuĩka mũthenya wa gatatũ.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:
Ningĩ Ngai agĩathana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩkũgĩe imũrĩ wariĩ-inĩ wa matu mairũ cia kũgayũkania mũthenya na ũtukũ, na irekwo ituĩke imenyithania cia imera, na mĩthenya na mĩaka.
15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Na ituĩke imũrĩ wariĩ-inĩ ũcio wa matu mairũ, itũmage thĩ kũgĩage na ũtheri.” Na gũgĩtuĩka o ũguo.
16 And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also.
Ngai nĩombire imũrĩ igĩrĩ nene. Kĩmũrĩ kĩrĩa kĩnenanene, nĩkĩo riũa, kĩarage mũthenya; nakĩo kĩmũrĩ kĩrĩa kĩninanini, nĩkĩo mweri, kĩarage ũtukũ. O na ningĩ akĩũmba njata.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Ngai agĩciiga wariĩ-inĩ wa matu mairũ itũmage thĩ kũgĩe ũtheri,
18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
ciarage mũthenya na ũtukũ, na igayũkanagie nduma na ũtheri. Nake Ngai akĩona atĩ ũndũ ũcio warĩ mwega.
19 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
Na gũkĩgĩa hwaĩ-inĩ na gũkĩgĩa rũciinĩ. Ũcio ũgĩtuĩka mũthenya wa kana.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and let fowl fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
Ningĩ Ngai agĩathana, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Maaĩ nĩmaiyũrwo nĩ ciũmbe irĩ muoyo, nacio nyoni nĩciũmbũkagĩre igũrũ rĩa thĩ gũtuĩkania wariĩ wa matu mairũ.”
21 And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kinds, and every winged fowl after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai akĩũmba ciũmbe iria nene cia iria-inĩ na kĩũmbe o gĩothe kĩrĩ muoyo na kĩongoyaga, ikĩiyũra maaĩ-inĩ kũringana na mĩthemba yacio, na nyoni o yothe ĩrĩ mathagu kũringana na mũthemba wayo. Nake Ngai akĩona atĩ ũndũ ũcio warĩ mwega.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
Ngai agĩcirathima akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ciaranai mũingĩhe, mũiyũre maaĩ-inĩ marĩa marĩ maria-inĩ, nacio nyoni nĩcingĩhe thĩ.”
23 And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
Na gũkĩgĩa hwaĩ-inĩ na gũkĩgĩa rũciinĩ. Ũcio ũgĩtuĩka mũthenya wa gatano.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind: and it was so.
Ningĩ Ngai agĩathana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Thĩ nĩĩgĩe ciũmbe irĩ muoyo kũringana na mĩthemba yacio: mahiũ, na ciũmbe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ, na nyamũ cia gĩthaka, o nyamũ kũringana na mũthemba wayo.” Na gũgĩtuĩka o ũguo.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the ground after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
Ngai akĩũmba nyamũ cia gĩthaka kũringana na mĩthemba yacio, na mahiũ kũringana na mĩthemba yamo, na ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ kũringana na mĩthemba yacio. Nake Ngai akĩona atĩ ũndũ ũcio warĩ mwega.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Ningĩ Ngai agĩathana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũũmbei andũ na mũhianĩre witũ, mahaanane na ithuĩ, nao maathage thamaki cia iria na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, na mahiũ ma thĩ yothe, na maathage ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ.”
27 And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ngai akĩũmba mũndũ
28 And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Ngai akĩmarathima, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ciaranai mũingĩhe, mũiyũre thĩ na mũmĩtoorie. Athagai thamaki cia iria na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, na mwathage ciũmbe ciothe irĩ muoyo iria ithiiagĩra thĩ.”
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat:
Ningĩ Ngai akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩndamũhe mĩmera yothe ya thĩ ĩrĩa ĩciaraga mbeũ, na mũtĩ o wothe ũrĩa ũciaraga matunda marĩ mbeũ thĩinĩ. Ĩyo ĩgũtuĩka irio cianyu.
30 and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, [I have given] every green herb for meat: and it was so.
Na kũrĩ nyamũ ciothe cia gũkũ thĩ, na nyoni ciothe cia rĩera-inĩ, o na ciũmbe ciothe iria ithiiagĩra thĩ, na kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩrĩ mĩhũmũ ya muoyo-rĩ, ndaacihe mĩmera mĩruru yothe ĩtuĩke irio ciacio.” Na gũgĩtuĩka o ũguo.
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Ngai akĩona atĩ kĩndũ kĩrĩa gĩothe oombĩte kĩarĩ kĩega mũno. Nakuo gũkĩgĩa hwaĩ-inĩ na gũkĩgĩa rũciinĩ. Ũcio ũgĩtuĩka mũthenya wa gatandatũ.
