2 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.
Umhlaba wawungelasimo njalo ungelalutho, ubumnyama babengame phezulu kolwandle njalo uMoya kaNkulunkulu wayehambahamba phezu kwamanzi.

Ngakho uNkulunkulu wasesithi, “Akubekhona ukukhanya,” lakanye kwabakhona ukukhanya.
4 Mawu kpɔ be kekeli la nyo, eye wòma kekeli la tso viviti la gbɔ.
UNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi ukukhanya kwakukuhle, wasesehlukanisa ukukhanya lobumnyama.
5 Mawu yɔ kekeli la be “ŋkeke,” eye wòyɔ viviti la be “zã.” Ale zã do, eye ŋu ke. Esiae nye ŋkeke gbãtɔ.
UNkulunkulu wabiza ukukhanya ngokuthi “yimini,” ubumnyama wabubiza ngokuthi “yibusuku.” Ngakho kwabakhona ukuhlwa lokusa, kwaba lusuku lwakuqala.
6 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.”
Njalo uNkulunkulu wathi, “Kakube lomkhandlu phakathi kwamanzi ukwehlukanisa amanzi kwamanye amanzi.”
7 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.
Ngakho uNkulunkulu wehlukanisa amanzi angaphansi komkhandlu kulawo amanzi angaphezulu kwawo. Kwabanjalo.
8 Mawu yɔ lilikpo la be “dziƒo.” Zã do, eye ŋu ke. Esiae nye ŋkeke evelia.
UNkulunkulu wabiza umkhandlu lo ngokuthi “ngumkhathi.” Njalo kwabakhona ukuhlwa, kwabakhona njalo ukusa, usuku lwesibili.
9 Mawu gblɔ be, “Mina tsi si le lilikpo la te la naƒo ƒu ɖe teƒe ɖeka be anyigba ƒe ƒuƒuiƒe nadze.” Eva eme nenema.
Njalo uNkulunkulu wathi, “Kakuthi amanzi angaphansi komkhathi abuthane ndawonye njalo kakuvele umhlabathi owomileyo.” Ngakho kwabanjalo.
10 Mawu yɔ ƒuƒuiƒe la be “anyigba,” eye wòyɔ tsi siwo ƒo ƒu la be, “atsiaƒuwo.” Mawu kpɔe be enyo.
UNkulunkulu wabiza umhlaba owomileyo ngokuthi “ngumhlabathi,” lamanzi abutheneyo wathi “lulwandle.” Njalo uNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi kwakukuhle.
11 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.
UNkulunkulu wasesithi, “Umhlabathi kawuthele izimila: imlimela ethela intanga lezihlahla emhlabathini ezithela izithelo ezilentanga phakathi, kusiya ngemihlobo yazo ehlukeneyo.” Kwabanjalo.
12 Tete nuwo mie ɖe anyigba la dzi: ati siwo tsea ku wotɔxɛwotɔxɛe, eye Mawu kpɔe be enyo.
Umhlaba wathela izimila: izihlahla ezilentanga kusiya ngemihlobo yazo, lezihlahla ezithela izithelo ezilentanga phakathi kwazo kusiya ngemihlobo yazo. Njalo uNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi kwakukuhle.
13 Zã do, eye ŋu ke. Esiae nye ŋkeke etɔ̃lia.
Kwabakhona njalo ukuhlwa lokusa, usuku lwesithathu.
14 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,
UNkulunkulu wasesithi, “Akube lezibane emkhandlwini womkhathi ukwehlukanisa imini lobusuku, njalo zibe luphawu lokubonisa izigaba zomnyaka, lezinsuku leminyaka,
15 eye woanye akaɖiwo le dziŋgɔli la me be woana kekeli anyigba.” Eye wòva eme nenema.
njalo zibe yizibane emkhandlwini womkhathi ukuletha ukukhanya emhlabeni.” Kwabanjalo.
16 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.
UNkulunkulu wenza izibane ezimbili ezinkulu, isibane esikhulu ukubusa emini lesibane esincinyane ukubusa ebusuku. Wenza futhi lezinkanyezi.
17 Mawu tsɔ wo ɖo lilikpo la ŋu, be woana kekeli anyigba,
UNkulunkulu wazibeka emkhandlwini womkhathi ukuletha ukukhanya emhlabeni,
18 aɖu zã kple ŋkeke dzi, eye woama kekeli ɖa tso viviti gbɔ. Nu sia dze Mawu ŋu.
ukubusa imini lobusuku, kanye lokwahlukanisa ukukhanya lobumnyama. Njalo uNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi kwakukuhle.
19 Ale zã do, eye ŋu ke. Esiae nye ŋkeke enelia.
Njalo kwabakhona ukuhlwa lokusa, usuku lwesine.
20 Mawu gblɔ be, “Tɔmelãwo nedzi ɖe tsiawo me, eye xeviwo nedzo le yame le dziŋgɔli la ƒe ŋkume.”
Njalo uNkulunkulu wathi, “Akube lezidalwa eziphilayo emanzini, njalo akuthi izinyoni ziphaphe ngaphezulu komhlaba zidabule emkhandlwini womkhathi.”
21 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.
Yikho uNkulunkulu wadala izidalwa ezinkulu zolwandle layo yonke into ephilayo lehambayo lenyakazelayo emanzini, kusiya ngemihlobo yazo, lezinyoni zonke ezilamaphiko, ngemihlobo yazo. Njalo uNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi kwakukuhle.
22 Mawu yra wo gblɔ be, “Midzi ne miasɔ gbɔ, miayɔ atsiaƒuwo me, eye miana xeviwo nasɔ gbɔ le anyigba dzi.”
UNkulunkulu wazibusisa wathi, “Zalanani lande ngobunengi ligcwalise amanzi olwandle, njalo akuthi lezinyoni lazo zande emhlabeni.”
23 Eye zã do, eye ŋu ke. Esiae nye ŋkeke atɔ̃lia.
Kwabakhona ukuhlwa, kwabakhona njalo lokusa, usuku lwesihlanu.
24 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.
UNkulunkulu wabuya wathi, “Akuthi umhlaba uveze izidalwa eziphilayo kusiya ngemihlobo yazo: izinanakazana ezihuquzela emhlabathini, kanye lezinyamazana zeganga, yilezo kusiya ngemihlobo yazo.” Lakanye kwabanjalo.
25 Mawu wɔ lã wɔadãwo, nyi kple nu tatawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe tɔgbi. Eye Mawu kpɔ be enyo.
UNkulunkulu wenza izinyamazana zeganga kusiya ngemihlobo yazo, izifuyo kusiya ngemihlobo yazo, njalo zonke izinanakazana ezihuquzela emhlabathini kusiya ngemihlobo yazo. Njalo uNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi kwakukuhle.
26 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.”
UNkulunkulu wasesithi, “Asenze umuntu ngesimo sethu langomfanekiso wethu ukuze abuse phezu kwenhlanzi zolwandle lezinyoni zemkhathini, phezu kwezifuyo, phezu kwawo wonke umhlaba laphezu kwazo zonke izinanakazana ezihuquzela emhlabathini.”
27 Ale Mawu wɔ ame ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe nɔnɔme me. Mawu ƒe nɔnɔme me wòwɔ ame ɖo; ŋutsu kple nyɔnu wòwɔ.
Ngakho uNkulunkulu wadala umuntu ngomfanekiso wakhe, ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu wabadala, owesilisa lowesifazane.
28 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.”
UNkulunkulu wababusisa wathi kubo, “Zalanani lande ngobunengi; liwugcwalise umhlaba, liwubuse. Busani phezu kwenhlanzi zolwandle lezinyoni zemkhathini laphezu kwezidalwa zonke ezihambayo emhlabathini.”
29 Mawu gagblɔ be “Metsɔ nu miemie siwo tsea ku le anyigba blibo la dzi kple ati tsekuwo na mi abe miaƒe nuɖuɖu ene.
UNkulunkulu wasesithi, “Ngilinika zonke izihlahla ezithela intanga ezisemhlabeni wonke lazozonke izihlahla ezilezithelo ezilentanga phakathi. Zingezenu ukuba lizidle.
30 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.
Njalo nginika zonke izihlahla eziluhlaza kuzozonke izinyamazana zomhlaba lakuzo zonke izinyoni zemkhathini lakuzo zonke izidalwa ezihambayo emhlabathini, yonke into ephefumula impilo phakathi kwayo ukuba zibe yikudla kwazo.” Kwabanjalo.
31 Mawu lé ŋku ɖe nu siwo katã wòwɔ la ŋu, eye wòkpɔe be wonyo ŋutɔ. Zã do, eye ŋu ke. Esiae nye ŋkeke adelia.
