+ Genesis 1 >

1 In beginning he created God the heavens and the earth.
Naʻe fakatupu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻae langi mo māmani.
2 And the earth was formlessness and emptiness and darkness [was] over [the] surface of [the] deep and [the] spirit of God [was] hovering over [the] surface 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 he said God let it be light and there was light.
Pea folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Ke maama pea naʻe maama ai.”
4 And he saw God the light that [it was] good and he separated God between the light and between 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 he called God - the light day and the darkness he called night and there was evening and there was 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 he said God let it be a firmament in [the] middle of the waters and let it be separating between waters to 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 he made God the firmament and he separated between the waters which [were] from under to the firmament and between the waters which [were] from the firmament and it was 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 he called God the firmament heaven and there was evening and there was morning a day second.
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 he said God let them gather the waters from under the heavens to a place one and let it appear the dry ground and it was 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 he called God - the dry ground earth and [the] collection of the waters he called seas and he saw God that [it was] 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 he said God let it sprout the earth vegetation plant[s] [which] bears seed seed tree[s] of fruit producing fruit to kind its which seed its [is] in it on the earth and it was 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 brought forth the earth vegetation plant[s] [which] bears seed seed to kind its and tree[s] (producing *LAH(b)*) fruit which seed its [was] in it to kind its and he saw God that [it was] 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 was evening and there was morning a day third.
Pea ko e efiafi mo e pongipongi ko hono ʻaho tolu ia.
14 And he said God let it be luminaries in [the] firmament of the heavens to separate between the day and between the night and they will become signs and appointed times and 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 will become luminaries in [the] firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth and it was so.
pea ke hoko ia ko e ngaahi maama ʻi he ʻatā ʻoe langi ke fakamaama ki māmani:” pea naʻe hoko ia.
16 And he made God [the] two the luminaries great the luminary great for [the] dominion of the day and the luminary small for [the] dominion of the night and the stars.
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 he set them God in [the] firmament 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 the day and over the night and to separate between the light and between the darkness and he saw God that [it was] 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 was evening and there was morning a day fourth.
Pea ko e efiafi mo e pongipongi ko hono ʻaho fā ia.
20 And he said God let them swarm the waters swarming thing[s] creature[s] living and bird[s] let it fly above the earth on [the] surface of [the] firmament 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 he created God the sea monsters great and every creature living - which creeps which they swarmed the waters to kind their and every bird of wing to kind its and he saw God that [it was] 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 he blessed them God saying be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas and the bird[s] let it multiply on 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 was evening and there was morning a day fifth.
Pea ko e efiafi mo e pongipongi ko hono ʻaho nima ia.
24 And he said God let it produce the earth creature[s] living to kind its livestock and creeping thing[s] and animal[s] of [the] earth to kind its and it was 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 he made God [the] animal[s] of the earth to kind its and the livestock to kind its and every creeping thing of the ground to kind its and he saw God that [it was] 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 he said God let us make humankind in image our according to likeness our and they may rule over [the] fish of the sea and over [the] bird[s] of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing which creeps 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 he created God - humankind in own image his in [the] image of God he created it male and 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 he blessed them God and he said to them God be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and rule over [the] fish of the sea and over [the] bird[s] of the heavens and over every animal which creeps 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 he said God here! I give to you every plant - [which] bears seed seed which [is] on [the] surface of all the earth and every tree which in it [is the] fruit of a tree [which] bears seed seed to you will be[long] to 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 animal of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to every - creeping [thing] on the earth which [is] in it life living all greenery of plant[s] to food and it was 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 he saw God all that he had made and there! [it was] good very and there was evening and there was morning [the] day sixth.
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.
