Genesis 1
1 In the bigynnyng God made of nouyt heuene and erthe.
Hapo mwanzo Mungu aliumba mbingu na nchi.
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.
Nayo nchi haikuwa na umbo na ilikuwa tupu. Giza lilikuwa juu ya uso wa vilindi vya maji. Roho wa Mungu alikuwa akielea juu ya uso wa maji.
3 And God seide, Liyt be maad, and liyt was maad.
Mungu akasema, “na kuwe nuru,” na kulikuwa na nuru.
4 And God seiy the liyt, that it was good, and he departide the liyt fro derknessis,
Mungu akaona nuru kuwa ni njema. Akaigawa nuru na giza.
5 and he clepide the liyt, dai, and the derknessis, nyyt. And the euentid and morwetid was maad, o daie.
Mungu akaiita nuru “mchana” na giza akaliita “usiku.” Ikawa jioni na asubuhi, siku ya kwanza.
6 And God seide, The firmament be maad in the myddis of watris, and departe watris fro watris.
Mungu akasema, “na kuwe na anga kati ya maji, na ligawe maji na maji.”
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.
Mungu akafanya anga na kugawanya maji yaliyo kuwa chini ya anga na maji ambayo yalikuwa juu ya anga. Ikawa hivyo.
8 And God clepide the firmament, heuene. And the euentid and morwetid was maad, the secounde dai.
Mungu akaita anga “mbingu.” Ikawa jioni na asubuhi siku ya pili.
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.
Mungu akasema, “maji yaliyo chini ya mbingu yakusanyike pamoja mahali pamoja, na ardhi kavu ionekane.” Ikawa hivyo.
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;
Mungu aliita ardhi kavu “nchi,” na maji yaliyo kusanyika akayaita “bahari.” Akaona kuwa ni vyema.
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.
Mungu akasema, nchi ichipushe mimea: miche itoayo mbegu na miti ya matunda itoayo matunda ambayo mbegu yake imo ndani ya tunda, kila kitu kwa namna yake.” Ikawa hivyo.
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.
Nchi ikatoa mimea, miche itoayo mbegu ya aina yake, na miti itoayo tunda ambalo mbegu yake imo ndani yake, kwa aina yake. Mungu akaona kuwa ni vyema.
13 And the euentid and morwetid was maad, the thridde dai.
Ikawa jioni na asubuhi, siku ya tatu.
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;
Mungu akasema, “kuwe na mianga katika anga kutenganisha mchana na usiku. Na ziwe kama ishara, kwa majira, kwa siku na miaka.
15 and shyne tho in the firmament of heuene, and liytne tho the erthe; and it was doon so.
Ziwe mianga katika anga ili kutoa mwanga juu ya nchi.” Ikawa hivyo.
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;
Mungu akafanya mianga mikuu miwili, mwanga mkuu zaidi kutawala mchana, na mwanga mdogo kutawala usiku. Akafanya nyota pia.
17 and God made sterris; and settide tho in the firmament of heuene, that tho schulden schyne on erthe,
Mungu akazipanga katika anga kutoa mwanga juu nchi,
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.
kutawala mchana na usiku, na kugawanya mwanga kutoka kwenye giza. Mungu akaona kuwa ni vyema.
19 And the euentid and the morwetid was maad, the fourthe dai.
Ikawa jioni na asubuhi, siku ya nne.
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.
Mungu akasema, “maji yajae idadi kubwa ya viumbe hai, na ndege waruke juu ya nchi katika anga la mbingu.”
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;
Mungu akaumba viumbe wakubwa wa baharini, pamoja na kila kiumbe hai cha aina yake, viumbe waendao na wanaojaa kila mahali majini, na kila ndege mwenye mabawa kwa aina yake. Mungu akaona kuwa ni vyema.
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.
Mungu akavibariki, akisema, “zaeni na muongezeke, na mjae majini katika bahari. Ndege waongezeke juu nchi.”
23 And the euentid and the morwetid was maad, the fyuethe dai.
Ikawa jioni na asubuhi, siku ya tano.
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.
Mungu akasema, “nchi na itoe viumbe hai, kila kiumbe kwa aina yake, mnyama wa kufugwa, vitu vitambaavyo, na wanyama wa nchi, kila kitu kwa jinsi yake.” Ikawa hivyo.
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,
Mungu akafanya wanyama wa nchi kwa aina yake, wanyama wa kufugwa kwa aina yake, na kila kitambaaho juu ya ardhi kwa aina yake. Akaona kuwani vyema.
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.
Mung akasema, “na tumfanye mtu katika mfano wetu, wa kufanana na sisi. Wawe na mamlaka juu ya samaki wa bahari, juu ya ndege wa angani, juu ya wanyama wa kufuga, juu ya nchi yote, na juu ya kila kitu kitambaacho kinacho tambaa juu ya nchi.”
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.
Mungu akamuumba mtu kwa mfano wake. Katika mfano wake alimuumba. Mwanaume na mwanamke aliwaumba.
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.
Mungu akawabariki na akawaambia, “zaeni na kuongezeka. Jazeni nchi, na muitawale. Muwe na mamlaka juu ya samaki wa baharini, juu ya ndege wa angani, na juu ya kila kiumbe hai kiendacho juu ya nchi,”
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;
Mungu akasema, “tazama, nimewapeni kila mmea uzaao mbegu ambao uko juu ya nchi, na kila mti wenye tunda ambalo lina mbegu ndani yake. Vitakuwa ni chakula kwenu.
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.
Kwa kila mnyama wa nchi, kwa kila ndege wa angani, na kila kitambaacho juu ya nchi, na kila kiumbe ambacho kina pumzi ya uhai ni metoa kila mmea kwa ajili ya chakula.” ikawa hivyo.
31 And God seiy alle thingis whiche he made, and tho weren ful goode. And the euentid and morwetid was maad, the sixte day.
Mungu akaona kila kitu alichokiumba. Tazama, kikawa chema sana. Ikawa jioni na asubuhi siku ya sita.
