Genesis 1
1 In the bigynnyng God made of nouyt heuene and erthe.
Le gɔmedzedzea me la, Mawu wɔ dziƒo kple anyigba.
2 Forsothe the erthe was idel and voide, and derknessis weren on the face of depthe; and the Spiryt of the Lord was borun on the watris.
Anyigba nɔ nyamaa, nɔnɔme aɖeke meli nɛ o. Ele ƒuƒlu, eye viviti do ɖe tsi gbana la dzi, eye Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ nɔ agba sam le tsia dzi.
3 And God seide, Liyt be maad, and liyt was maad.
Mawu gblɔ be, “Kekeli nedo.” Eye kekeli do.
4 And God seiy the liyt, that it was good, and he departide the liyt fro derknessis,
Mawu kpɔ be kekeli la nyo, eye wòma kekeli la tso viviti la gbɔ.
5 and he clepide the liyt, dai, and the derknessis, nyyt. And the euentid and morwetid was maad, o daie.
Mawu yɔ kekeli la be “ŋkeke,” eye wòyɔ viviti la be “zã.” Ale zã do, eye ŋu ke. Esiae nye ŋkeke gbãtɔ.
6 And God seide, The firmament be maad in the myddis of watris, and departe watris fro watris.
Mawu gblɔ be, “Lilikpo nedo, eye wòama tsi si le lilikpo la te kple esi le lilikpo la tame la me. Eye wòva eme nenema.”
7 And God made the firmament, and departide the watris that weren vndur the firmament fro these watris that weren on the firmament; and it was don so.
Ale Mawu wɔ lilikpo, eye wòma tsi si le lilikpo la te la ɖa tso esi le lilikpo la tame la gbɔ, eye wòva eme.
8 And God clepide the firmament, heuene. And the euentid and morwetid was maad, the secounde dai.
Mawu yɔ lilikpo la be “dziƒo.” Zã do, eye ŋu ke. Esiae nye ŋkeke evelia.
9 Forsothe God seide, The watris, that ben vndur heuene, be gaderid in to o place, and a drie place appere; and it was doon so.
Mawu gblɔ be, “Mina tsi si le lilikpo la te la naƒo ƒu ɖe teƒe ɖeka be anyigba ƒe ƒuƒuiƒe nadze.” Eva eme nenema.
10 And God clepide the drie place, erthe; and he clepide the gadryngis togidere of watris, the sees. And God seiy that it was good;
Mawu yɔ ƒuƒuiƒe la be “anyigba,” eye wòyɔ tsi siwo ƒo ƒu la be, “atsiaƒuwo.” Mawu kpɔe be enyo.
11 and seide, The erthe brynge forth greene eerbe and makynge seed, and appil tre makynge fruyt bi his kynde, whos seed be in it silf on erthe; and it was doon so.
Mawu gblɔ be, “Mina nuwo namie ɖe anyigba la dzi: ati tsekuwo kple ati siwo tsena, eye ku nɔa tsetseawo me wotɔxɛwotɔxɛe la.” Eva eme nenema.
12 And the erthe brouyte forth greene erbe and makynge seed bi his kynde, and a tre makynge fruyt, and ech hauynge seed by his kynde. And God seiy that it was good.
Tete nuwo mie ɖe anyigba la dzi: ati siwo tsea ku wotɔxɛwotɔxɛe, eye Mawu kpɔe be enyo.
13 And the euentid and morwetid was maad, the thridde dai.
Zã do, eye ŋu ke. Esiae nye ŋkeke etɔ̃lia.
14 Forsothe God seide, Liytis be maad in the firmament of heuene, and departe tho the dai and niyt; and be tho in to signes, and tymes, and daies, and yeeris;
Mawu gblɔ be, “Mina akaɖiwo nanɔ dziŋgɔli la me be woama ŋkeke ɖa tso zã gbɔ, eye woanye dzesi siwo afia ɣeyiɣiwo, ŋkekewo kple ƒewo,
15 and shyne tho in the firmament of heuene, and liytne tho the erthe; and it was doon so.
eye woanye akaɖiwo le dziŋgɔli la me be woana kekeli anyigba.” Eye wòva eme nenema.
16 And God made twei grete liytis, the gretter liyt that it schulde be bifore to the dai, and the lesse liyt that it schulde be bifore to the niyt;
Mawu wɔ nu keklẽ gã eve: ɣe kple ɣleti, be woaklẽ ɖe anyigba dzi. Eɖoe be nu keklẽ gãtɔ si nye ɣe la naklẽ le ŋkeke me, eye suetɔ si nye ɣleti la naklẽ le zã me. Ewɔ ɣletiviwo hã.
17 and God made sterris; and settide tho in the firmament of heuene, that tho schulden schyne on erthe,
Mawu tsɔ wo ɖo lilikpo la ŋu, be woana kekeli anyigba,
18 and that tho schulden be bifore to the dai and nyyt, and schulden departe liyt and derknesse. And God seiy that it was good.
aɖu zã kple ŋkeke dzi, eye woama kekeli ɖa tso viviti gbɔ. Nu sia dze Mawu ŋu.
19 And the euentid and the morwetid was maad, the fourthe dai.
Ale zã do, eye ŋu ke. Esiae nye ŋkeke enelia.
20 Also God seide, The watris brynge forth a `crepynge beeste of lyuynge soule, and a brid fleynge aboue erthe vndur the firmament of heuene.
Mawu gblɔ be, “Tɔmelãwo nedzi ɖe tsiawo me, eye xeviwo nedzo le yame le dziŋgɔli la ƒe ŋkume.”
21 And God made of nouyt grete whallis, and ech lyuynge soule and mouable, whiche the watris han brouyt forth in to her kyndis; and God made of nouyt ech volatile bi his kynde. And God seiy that it was good;
Ale Mawu wɔ ƒumelã gãwo kple nu gbagbe siwo tana, eye wonɔa tsi me la ƒomevi vovovowo kple xevi siwo dzona la ƒomeviwo katã. Mawu kpɔe be enyo.
22 and blesside hem, and seide, Wexe ye, and be ye multiplied, and fille ye the watris of the see, and briddis be multiplied on erthe.
Mawu yra wo gblɔ be, “Midzi ne miasɔ gbɔ, miayɔ atsiaƒuwo me, eye miana xeviwo nasɔ gbɔ le anyigba dzi.”
23 And the euentid and the morwetid was maad, the fyuethe dai.
Eye zã do, eye ŋu ke. Esiae nye ŋkeke atɔ̃lia.
24 And God seide, The erthe brynge forth a lyuynge soul in his kynde, werk beestis, and `crepynge beestis, and vnresonable beestis of erthe, bi her kyndis; and it was don so.
Mawu gblɔ be, “Anyigba nedzi lã kple nu gbagbe ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi: nyiwo, nu tatawo kple gbemelã ɖe sia ɖe tɔgbi.” Eye wòva eme nenema.
25 And God made vnresonable beestis of erthe bi her kyndes, and werk beestis, `and ech crepynge beeste of erthe in his kynde. And God seiy that it was good; and seide,
Mawu wɔ lã wɔadãwo, nyi kple nu tatawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe tɔgbi. Eye Mawu kpɔ be enyo.
26 Make we man to oure ymage and liknesse, and be he souereyn to the fischis of the see, and to the volatilis of heuene, and to vnresonable beestis of erthe, and to ech creature, and to ech `crepynge beest, which is moued in erthe.
Mawu gblɔ be, “Mina míawɔ ame ɖe míaƒe nɔnɔme me, wòaɖi mí, eye wòaɖu ƒumelãwo, dziƒoxewo, aƒemelãwo kple gbemelãwo katã kpakple nu gbagbe siwo katã tana le anyigba dzi la dzi.”
27 And God made of nouyt a man to his ymage and liknesse; God made of nouyt a man, to the ymage of God; God made of nouyt hem, male and female.
Ale Mawu wɔ ame ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe nɔnɔme me. Mawu ƒe nɔnɔme me wòwɔ ame ɖo; ŋutsu kple nyɔnu wòwɔ.
28 And God blesside hem, and seide, Encreesse ye, and be ye multiplied, and fille ye the erthe, and make ye it suget, and be ye lordis to fischis of the see, and to volatilis of heuene, and to alle lyuynge beestis that ben moued on erthe.
Mawu yra wo gblɔ na wo be, “Midzi miayɔ anyigba blibo la dzi, eye miaɖu edzi; miawoe nye tɔmelãwo, dziƒoxewo kple lã siwo katã tana le anyigba dzi la dzi ɖulawo.”
29 And God seide, Lo! Y haue youe to you ech eerbe berynge seed on erthe, and alle trees that han in hem silf the seed of her kynde, that tho be in to mete to you;
Mawu gagblɔ be “Metsɔ nu miemie siwo tsea ku le anyigba blibo la dzi kple ati tsekuwo na mi abe miaƒe nuɖuɖu ene.
30 and to alle lyuynge beestis of erthe, and to ech brid of heuene, and to alle thingis that ben moued in erthe, and in whiche is a lyuynge soule, that tho haue to ete; and it was doon so.
Metsɔ gbewo kple atiwo katã na lãwo kple xeviwo kple nu siwo katã tana, siwo me agbe le, le anyigba dzi abe woƒe nuɖuɖu ene.” Eye wòva me nenema.
31 And God seiy alle thingis whiche he made, and tho weren ful goode. And the euentid and morwetid was maad, the sixte day.
Mawu lé ŋku ɖe nu siwo katã wòwɔ la ŋu, eye wòkpɔe be wonyo ŋutɔ. Zã do, eye ŋu ke. Esiae nye ŋkeke adelia.
