Genesis 1
1 Long, long ago God created the heavens and the earth.
Ke mutawauk, ke God El orala kusrao, faclu, ac ma nukewa,
2 When he began to create the earth, it was shapeless and completely desolate/chaotic. Darkness covered the deep water that surrounded the earth. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the water.
faclu wangin lumah ac wangin koano. Lohsr matoltol afunla acn loal uh, ac Ngun lun God apisya fin kof uh.
3 God said, “I want light to shine!” And light shone.
Na God El fahk, “Lela in oasr kalem” — ac kalem uh sikyak.
4 God was pleased with the light. Then he made the light to shine in some places, and in other places there was still darkness.
God El insewowo ke ma El liye. Na El sraclik kalem liki lohsr uh,
5 He gave to the light the name ‘day’, and he gave to the darkness the name ‘night’. After that, there was an evening which was followed by a morning. He called that whole period of time ‘the first day’.
ac El pangon kalem uh “Len,” ac lohsr uh “Fong.” Ke safla eku sac na lotutang sikme — pa ingan len se emeet.
6 Then God said, “I command that there be an empty space like a huge dome to separate the water that is above it from the water on the earth that is below it!”
Ac God El fahk, “Lela in oasr sie lisrlisr inmasrlon kof uh, in sraclik kof uh liki kof uh.”
7 And that is what happened. God gave to the space the name ‘sky’.
Ouinge God El orala lisrlisr se ac sraclik kof ma oan ye lisrlisr sac liki kof ma oan lucng liki lisrlisr sac. Na orekla oana.
8 Then there was another evening, which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the second day’.
God El pangon lisrlisr sac “Yen engyeng uh.” Ke safla eku sac na lotutang sikme — pa ingan len se akluo.
9 Then God said, “I want the water that is below the sky to come together, and dry ground to appear and rise above the water.” And that is what happened.
Na God El fahk, “Lela kof ye acn engyeng uh in tukeni nu ke sie acn, tuh acn pao uh fah sikyak” — na orekla oana.
10 God gave to the ground the name ‘earth’, and he gave to the water that came together the name ‘oceans’. God was pleased with the earth and the oceans.
El pangon acn pao uh “Faclu,” ac kof ma toeni nu sie uh El pangon “Meoa.” Ac God El liye ma El orala tuh na wo.
11 Then God said, “I want the earth to produce plants, including plants that will produce seeds and trees that will produce fruit. Each kind of tree will bear its own kind of fruit.”
Na El fahk, “Lela faclu in akkapye kain in mah nukewa ac kain in sak nukewa — na sikyak oana.
12 Then plants grew on the earth; each kind of plant began to produce its own kind of seed.
Ouinge faclu akkapyauk kain in sak nukewa, ac God El liye ma El orala tuh na wo.
13 Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. God called that period of time ‘the third day’.
Ke safla eku sac na lotutang sikme — pa ingan len se aktolu.
14 Then God said, “I want a sun, a moon, and many stars to shine in the sky. The sun will shine in the daytime and the moon and stars will shine during the nighttime. By the changes in their appearance they will indicate the various seasons (OR, the times for special celebrations), and will enable people to know when days and years begin.
Na God El fahk, “Lela mwe kalem uh in sikyak yen engyeng uh in sraclik len liki fong, ac in akkalemye pacl in mutawauk lun len, yac, ac pacl in akfulat,
15 I want them also to be like lights in the sky that will shine on the earth.” And that is what happened.
ac elos fah kalem inkusrao me ac tolak fin faclu” — ac ouinge orekla oana.
16 God made two of them that were like big lights. The bigger one, the sun, shines during the day and the smaller one, the moon, shines during the night. He also made the stars.
Ouinge God El orala kalem luo ma yohk uh: faht in leumi len, ac malem in leumi fong; El oayapa orala itu uh.
17 God set all of them in the sky to shine on the earth,
El oakiya kalem inge inkusrao in tolak fin faclu,
18 to rule the day and the night, and to separate the light of the daytime from the darkness of the nighttime. God was pleased with these things he had made.
in karingin len ac fong, ac in sraclik kalem liki lohsr. Ac God El liye ma El orala tuh na wo.
19 Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fourth day’.
Ke safla eku sac na lotutang sikme — pa ingan len se akakosr.
20 Then God said, “I want many creatures to live in all the oceans, and I also want birds to fly in the sky above the earth.”
Na God El fahk, “Lela inkof uh in nwanala ke kain in ma moul puspis, ac lela yen engyeng uh in sessesla ke won.”
21 So God created huge sea creatures and every other kind of creature that moves in the water, and caused them to live in all the oceans. He also created many kinds of birds. God was pleased with all those creatures.
Ouinge God El orala ma moul lulap in meoa uh, kain in ma moul nukewa ma muta inkof uh, ac kain in won nukewa. Ac God El liye ma El orala tuh na wo.
22 God blessed them. He said, “Produce offspring and become very numerous. I want the creatures in the water to live in all the oceans, and birds also to become very numerous.” And that is what happened.
El akinsewowoyalos nukewa ac fahk nu sin ma moul ma muta inkof uh elos in isus ac nwakla meoa, ac El fahk nu sin won in kapak ac puseni.
23 Then there was another evening that was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fifth day’.
Ke safla eku sac na lotutang sikme — pa ingan len se aklimekosr.
24 Then God said, “I want various kinds of creatures to appear on the earth. There will be many kinds of (livestock/domestic animals), creatures that scurry across the ground, and large wild animals.” And that is what happened.
Na God El fahk, “Lela faclu in oswe kain in ma orakrak nukewa; ma muna ac ma lemnak, yohk ac srik” — na orekla oana.
25 God made all kinds of wild animals and (livestock/domestic animals) and all kinds of creatures that scurry across the ground. God was pleased with all these creatures.
Ouinge God El oralosla nukewa, ac El liye ma El orala tuh na wo.
26 Then God said, “Now we will make human beings that will be like us in many ways. I want them to rule over the fish in the sea, over the birds, over all the (livestock/domestic animals), and over all the other creatures that scurry across the ground.”
Na God El fahk, “Inge kut ac fah oru mwet uh: elos ac oana kut ac lumahlos ac oana lumasr. Ac fah oasr ku yorolos fin ik, won, ac ma orakrak nukewa, ma muna ac ma lemnak, ma yohk ac srik.”
27 So God created human beings that were like him in many ways. He made them to be like himself. He created some to be male and some to be female.
Ouinge God El orala mwet uh, ac oralosla oana lumahl. El oralosla mukul ac mutan,
28 God blessed them, saying, “Produce many children, who will live all over the earth and rule over it. I want them to rule over the fish and the birds and over all creatures that scurry across the ground.”
ac akinsewowoyalos, ac fahk, “Kowos in isus fahko in pus, tuh fwilin tulik nutuwos fah fahsrelik nu fin faclu nufon ac leumi ma inge. Nga filikowosi in karingin ma moul nukewa inkof uh, won yen engyeng uh, ac ma orakrak nukewa ma moul fin faclu.”
29 God said to the humans, “Listen! I have given you all the plants that produce seeds, all over the earth, and all the trees that have seeds in their fruit. All these things are for you to eat.
Na God El fahk, “Nga akoela kain in mahsrik nukewa ac kain in fokinsak nukewa kowos in mongo kac,
30 I have given all the green plants to all the wild animals and to the birds and to all the creatures that scurry across the ground, to everything that breathes, for them to eat.” And that is what happened.
a nu sin ma orakrak nukewa ac nu sin won nukewa nga akoela mah ac sra sak nu selos” — na orekla oana.
31 God was pleased with everything that he had made. Truly, it was all very good. Then there was another evening, that was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the sixth day’.
God El liye ma nukewa ma El orala tuh na wo. Ke safla eku sac na lotutang sikme — pa ingan len se akonkosr.
