Genesis 1
1 Long, long ago God created the heavens and the earth.
Noong simula nilikha ng Diyos ang langit at ang lupa.
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.
Ang lupa ay walang anyo at walang laman. Ang kadiliman ay nasa ibabaw ng kalaliman. Ang Espiritu ng Diyos ay kumikilos sa ibabaw ng katubigan.
3 God said, “I want light to shine!” And light shone.
Sinabi ng Diyos, ''Magkaroon ng liwanag” at nagkaroon ng liwanag.
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.
Nakita ng Diyos na ang liwanag ay kaaya-aya. Hiniwalay niya ang liwanag mula sa kadiliman.
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’.
Tinawag ng Diyos ang liwanag na “araw,” at ang kadiliman ay tinawag niyang “gabi”. Naggabi at nag-umaga, ito ang unang araw.
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!”
Sinabi ng Diyos, “Magkaroon ng puwang sa pagitan ng mga tubig, at hayaang ihiwalay nito ang tubig mula sa tubig.”
7 And that is what happened. God gave to the space the name ‘sky’.
Ginawa ng Diyos ang puwang at hiniwalay niya ang tubig na nasa silong ng kalawakan mula sa tubig na nasa ibabaw ng kalawakan. At nagkagayon nga.
8 Then there was another evening, which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the second day’.
Tinawag ng Diyos ang puwang na “langit.” Naggabi at nag-umaga, ito ang ikalawang araw.
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.
Sinabi ng Diyos, “Hayaang ang katubigang nasa ilalim ng langit ay sama-samang magtipon sa isang lugar, at hayaang lumitaw ang tuyong lupain.” At nagkagayon nga.
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.
Tinawag ng Diyos ang tuyong lupain na “lupa” at ang natipong tubig ay tinawag niyang “dagat.” Nakita niyang ito ay kaaya-aya.
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.”
Sinabi ng Diyos, “Hayaang tumubo ang halaman sa lupa: mga pananim na nagbibigay ng buto at mga namumungang punong kahoy na kung saan ang buto nito'y nasa loob ng kanyang bunga, ayon sa kanyang sariling uri.” At nagkagayon nga.
12 Then plants grew on the earth; each kind of plant began to produce its own kind of seed.
Tinubuan ng halaman ang lupa, mga pananim na nagbibigay ng buto mula sa kanilang uri, at mga namumungang punong kahoy na taglay nito ang buto, mula sa kanilang uri. Nakita ng Diyos na ito ay kaaya-aya.
13 Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. God called that period of time ‘the third day’.
Naggabi at nag-umaga, ito ang ikatlong araw.
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.
Sinabi ng Diyos, “Hayaang magkaroon ng mga liwanag sa langit upang ihiwalay ang araw mula sa gabi. At hayaan silang maging mga palatandaan, para sa mga panahon, para sa mga araw at sa mga taon.
15 I want them also to be like lights in the sky that will shine on the earth.” And that is what happened.
Hayaan silang maging mga liwanag sa langit upang magbigay liwanag sa ibabaw ng mundo.” At nagkagayon nga.
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.
Ginawa ng Diyos ang dalawang malaking mga liwanag, ang mas malaking liwanag upang pamunuan ang araw, at ang mas maliit na liwanag upang pamunuan ang gabi. Ginawa rin niya ang mga bituin.
17 God set all of them in the sky to shine on the earth,
Inilagay sila ng Diyos sa langit upang magbigay liwanag sa ibabaw ng mundo,
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.
upang pamunuan ang buong araw at ang buong gabi, at upang ihiwalay ang liwanag sa kadiliman. Nakita ng Diyos na ito ay kaaya-aya.
19 Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fourth day’.
Naggabi at nag-umaga, ito ang ikaapat na araw.
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.”
Sinabi ng Diyos, “Hayaang mapuno ang katubigan ng lahat ng uri ng buhay na nilalang na ginawa ko, mapuno ang himpapawid ng mga ibong lumilipad sa ibabaw ng lupa.”
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.
Kaya’t nilikha ng Diyos ang malalaking nilalang na naninirahan sa dagat, gayon din ang bawat buhay na nilikha ayon sa kanyang uri, mga nilalang na kumikilos at nagkukumpol sa katubigan, at bawat mga ibong may pakpak ayon sa kanyang uri. Nakita ng Diyos na ito ay kaaya-aya.
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.
Pinagpala sila ng Diyos, sinasabing, “Maging mabunga kayo at magpakarami, punuin niyo ang katubigan sa mga dagat. Hayaang dumami ang mga ibon sa mundo.
23 Then there was another evening that was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fifth day’.
Naggabi at nag-umaga, ito ang ikalimang araw.
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.
Sinabi ng Diyos, “Hayaang magdulot ang mundo ng buhay na mga nilalang, bawat isa ayon sa kanyang sariling uri, mga hayop, mga gumagapang na bagay, at mga mababangis na hayop ng mundo, bawat isa nito ayon sa kanyang sariling uri”. Nagkagayon nga.
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.
Ginawa ng Diyos ang mga mababangis na hayop sa mundo ayon sa kanilang uri, ang mga hayop ayon sa kanilang mga uri, at lahat ng bagay na gumagapang sa ibabaw ng lupa ayon sa kanyang uri. Nakita niya na ito ay kaaya-aya.
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.”
Sinabi ng Diyos, “Gawin natin ang tao ayon sa ating wangis, ayon sa ating larawan. Hayaan silang mamahala sa isda sa dagat, sa mga ibon sa langit, sa mga hayop, sa buong mundo, at sa lahat ng gumagapang na bagay na gumagapang sa mundo.
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.
Nilikha ng Diyos ang tao ayon sa kanyang sariling wangis. Ayon sa kanyang wangis nilikha niya siya. Lalaki at babae nilikha niya sila.
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.”
Pinagpala sila ng Diyos at sinabihan silang, “Maging mabunga kayo, at magpakarami. Punuin niyo ang mundo, at supilin ito. Maging tagapamahala kayo sa isda sa dagat, sa mga ibon sa langit, at sa lahat ng buhay na bagay na kumikilos sa ibabaw ng mundo.”
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.
Sinabi ng Diyos, “Tingnan ninyo, ibinigay ko sa inyo ang bawat pananim na nagbibigay ng buto na nasa ibabaw ng buong mundo, at bawat punong-kahoy kasama ang bungang may buto sa loob nito. Sila ay magiging pagkain ninyo.
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.
Sa bawa't hayop sa mundo, sa bawat ibon sa kalangitan, at sa lahat ng bagay na gumagapang sa ibabaw ng mundo, at sa bawat nilikhang may hininga ng buhay ibinigay ko ang bawat luntiang halaman para maging pagkain.” At nagkagayon nga.
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’.
Nakita ng Diyos ang lahat ng bagay na kanyang ginawa. Pagmasdan, ito ay napakabuti. Naggabi at nag-umaga, ito ang ika anim araw.
