Genesis 1
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
Ní ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ohun gbogbo Ọlọ́run dá àwọn ọ̀run àti ayé.
2 Now, the earth, had become waste and wild, and darkness, was on the face of the roaring deep, —but, the Spirit of God, was brooding on the face of the waters,
Ayé sì wà ní rúdurùdu, ó sì ṣófo, òkùnkùn sì wà lójú ibú omi, Ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run sì ń rábàbà lójú omi.
3 And God said—Light, be, And light was.
Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí ìmọ́lẹ̀ kí ó wà,” ìmọ́lẹ̀ sì wà.
4 And God saw the light, that it was, good, and God divided the light, from the, darkness;
Ọlọ́run rí i pé ìmọ́lẹ̀ náà dára, ó sì ya ìmọ́lẹ̀ náà sọ́tọ̀ kúrò lára òkùnkùn.
5 and God called the light, day, but the darkness, called he, night. So it was evening—and it was morning, one day.
Ọlọ́run sì pe ìmọ́lẹ̀ náà ní “ọ̀sán,” àti òkùnkùn ní “òru.” Àṣálẹ́ àti òwúrọ̀ sì jẹ́ ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní.
6 And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a means of dividing, between waters and waters,
Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí òfúrufú kí ó wà ní àárín àwọn omi, láti pààlà sí àárín àwọn omi.”
7 And God made the expanse, and it divided between the waters that were under the expanse and the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so.
Ọlọ́run sì dá òfúrufú láti ya omi tí ó wà ní òkè òfúrufú kúrò lára omi tí ó wà ní orí ilẹ̀. Ó sì rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
8 And God called the expanse, heavens. So it was evening—and it was morning, a, second day.
Ọlọ́run sì pe òfúrufú ní “ọ̀run.” Àṣálẹ́ àti òwúrọ̀ sì jẹ́ ọjọ́ kejì.
9 And God said—Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together, into one place, and let the dry—ground appear. And it was so.
Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí omi abẹ́ ọ̀run wọ́ papọ̀ sí ojú kan, kí ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ sì farahàn.” Ó sì rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
10 And God called, the dry-ground, land, but the gathering together of the waters, called he seas. And God saw that it was good.
Ọlọ́run sì pe ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ náà ní “ilẹ̀,” àti àpapọ̀ omi ní “òkun.” Ọlọ́run sì rí i wí pé ó dára.
11 And God said—Let the land put-forth vegetation—herb yielding seed, fruit-tree, bearing fruit after its kind, whose seed is within it on the land. And it was so,
Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí ilẹ̀ kí ó hu ọ̀gbìn: ewéko ti yóò máa mú èso wá àti igi tí yóò máa so èso ní irú tirẹ̀, tí ó ní irúgbìn nínú.” Ó sì rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
12 And the land brought-forth vegetation—herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, whose seed is within it, after its kind, And God saw that it was good.
Ilẹ̀ sì hù ọ̀gbìn: ewéko tí ó ń so èso ní irú tirẹ̀, àti igi tí ń so èso, tí ó ní irúgbìn nínú ní irú tirẹ̀. Ọlọ́run sì ri pé ó dára.
13 So it was evening—and it was morning, a third day.
Àṣálẹ́ àti òwúrọ̀ sì jẹ́ ọjọ́ kẹta.
14 And God said—Let there be luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night, —and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;
Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí ìmọ́lẹ̀ kí ó wà ní ojú ọ̀run, láti pààlà sí àárín ọ̀sán àti òru, kí wọn ó sì máa wà fún àmì láti mọ àwọn àsìkò, àti àwọn ọjọ́ àti àwọn ọdún.
15 yea let them be for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so.
Kí wọn ó jẹ́ ìmọ́lẹ̀ ní ojú ọ̀run láti tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ sí orí ilẹ̀.” Ó sì rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
16 And God made the two great luminaries, —the greater luminary to rule the day, and the lesser luminary to rule the night, also the stars.
Ọlọ́run dá ìmọ́lẹ̀ ńlá ńlá méjì, ìmọ́lẹ̀ tí ó tóbi láti ṣe àkóso ọ̀sán àti ìmọ́lẹ̀ tí ó kéré láti ṣe àkóso òru. Ó sì dá àwọn ìràwọ̀ pẹ̀lú.
17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, —to give light on the earth;
Ọlọ́run sì ṣe wọ́n lọ́jọ̀ sí ojú ọ̀run láti máa tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ si orí ilẹ̀,
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.
láti ṣàkóso ọ̀sán àti òru àti láti pààlà sí àárín ìmọ́lẹ̀ àti òkùnkùn. Ọlọ́run sì rí i pé ó dára.
19 So it was evening—and it was morning, a fourth day.
Àṣálẹ́ àti òwúrọ̀ sì jẹ́ ọjọ́ kẹrin.
20 And God said—Let the waters swarm with an abundance of living soul, and, birds, shall fly over the earth, over the face of the expanse of the heavens.
Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí omi kí ó kún fún àwọn ohun alààyè, kí àwọn ẹyẹ kí ó sì máa fò ní òfúrufú.”
21 And God created the great sea-monsters, —and every living soul that moveth—[with] which the waters swarmed after their kind and every winged bird—after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Nítorí náà Ọlọ́run dá àwọn ẹ̀dá alààyè ńlá ńlá sí inú òkun, àwọn ohun ẹlẹ́mìí àti àwọn ohun tí ń rìn ní onírúurú tiwọn, àti àwọn ẹyẹ abìyẹ́ ní onírúurú tiwọn. Ọlọ́run sì rí i pé ó dára.
22 And God blessed them, saying, —Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let, the birds, multiply in the land.
Ọlọ́run súre fún wọn, ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ máa bí sí i, ẹ sì máa pọ̀ sí i, ẹ kún inú omi òkun, kí àwọn ẹyẹ náà sì máa pọ̀ sí i ní orí ilẹ̀.”
23 So it was evening—and it was morning, a fifth day.
Àṣálẹ́ àti òwúrọ̀ sì jẹ́ ọjọ́ karùn-ún.
24 And God said—Let the land, bring forth, living soul, after its kind, tame-beast and creeping thing and wild-beast, of the land, after its kind. And it was so.
Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Kí ilẹ̀ kí ó mú ohun alààyè jáde ní onírúurú wọn: ẹran ọ̀sìn, àwọn ohun afàyàfà àti àwọn ẹran inú igbó, ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan ní irú tirẹ̀.” Ó sì rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
25 And God made the wild-beast of the land after its kind, and the tame-beast after its kind, and every creeping thing of the ground, after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Ọlọ́run sì dá ẹranko inú igbó àti ẹran ọ̀sìn gbogbo ní irú tirẹ̀ àti gbogbo ohun alààyè tí ń rìn ní ilẹ̀ ní irú tirẹ̀. Ọlọ́run sì rí i pé ó dára.
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 bird of the heavens and over the tame-beast—and over all the land, and over every creeping thing, that creepeth on the land.
Lẹ́yìn náà ni Ọlọ́run wí pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a dá ènìyàn ní àwòrán ara wa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwa ti rí, kí wọn kí ó jẹ ọba lórí ẹja òkun, ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run, ẹran ọ̀sìn, gbogbo ilẹ̀ àti lórí ohun gbogbo tí ń rìn lórí ilẹ̀.”
27 And God created the man in his own image, In the image of God, created he him, —Male and female, created he, them.
Nítorí náà, Ọlọ́run dá ènìyàn ní àwòrán ara rẹ̀, ní àwòrán Ọlọ́run ni ó dá a, akọ àti abo ni ó dá wọn.
28 And God blessed them, and God said to them Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, —and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth on the land.
Ọlọ́run sì súre fún wọn, Ọlọ́run sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ máa bí sí i, kí ẹ sì máa pọ̀ sí i, kí ẹ sì gbilẹ̀, kí ẹ ṣe ìkápá ayé. Ẹ ṣe àkóso àwọn ẹja inú òkun, ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run àti gbogbo ẹ̀dá alààyè tí ó ń rìn ní orí ilẹ̀.”
29 And God said—Lo! I have given to you—every herb yielding seed which is on the face of all the land, and every tree wherein is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, —to you, shall it be, for food;
Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run wí pé, “Mo fi gbogbo ohun ọ̀gbìn tí ń so èso fún un yín bí oúnjẹ àti àwọn igi eléso pẹ̀lú. Gbogbo rẹ̀ yóò jẹ́ oúnjẹ fún un yín.
30 and to every living thing of the land—and to every bird of the heavens, and to every thing that moveth on the land, wherein is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it was so.
Àti fún àwọn ẹranko inú igbó àti ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run àti àwọn ohun afàyàfà, gbogbo ohun tó ní èémí ìyè nínú ni mo fi ewéko fún bí oúnjẹ.” Ó sì rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
31 And God saw every thing which he had made, and lo! it was very good. So it was evening—and it was morning, the sixth day.
Ọlọ́run sì rí àwọn ohun gbogbo tí ó dá, ó dára gidigidi. Àṣálẹ́ àti òwúrọ̀ sì jẹ́ ọjọ́ kẹfà.
