Jenèz 1
1 Nan konmansman, Bondye kreye syèl la ak latè a.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Men latè pa t' gen fòm, li pa t' gen anyen sou li. Fènwa te kouvri toupatou. Lespri Bondye t'ap plane sou dlo ki te kouvri tout latè.
And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 Bondye di. Se pou limyè fèt. Epi limyè te fèt.
And God said, Let there be light, and there was light.
4 Bondye wè limyè a te bon. Bondye mete limyè a yon bò, li mete fènwa a yon lòt bò.
And God saw the light, that it was good. And God divided the light from the darkness.
5 Bondye rele limyè a lajounen, li rele fènwa a lannwit. Yon lannwit pase, yon maten rive. Se te premye jou a.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
6 Bondye di ankò. Se pou gen yon vout nan mitan dlo a pou separe dlo a an de.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 Bondye fè vout la separe dlo a an de, yon pati anwo vout la, yon lòt pati anba l'. Se konsa sa te pase.
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so.
8 Bondye rele vout la syèl. Yon lannwit pase, yon maten rive. Se te dezyèm jou a.
And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 Bondye di ankò. Se pou dlo ki anba syèl la sanble yon sèl kote pou kote ki sèk la ka parèt. Se konsa sa te pase.
And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear. And it was so.
10 Bondye rele kote ki sèk la tè. Li rele pil dlo a lanmè. Bondye gade sa l' te fè a, li wè l' bon.
And God called the dry land Earth, and he called the gathering together of the waters Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11 Bondye di. Se pou tè a pouse tout kalite plant: zèb, plant ki bay grenn, pyebwa ki bay fwi ak tout grenn yo. Se konsa sa te pase.
And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit according to their kind (in which is the seed of them) upon the earth. And it was so.
12 Tè a pouse tout kalite plant: zèb, plant ki bay grenn, pyebwa ki bay fwi ak tout grenn yo. Bondye gade sa l' te fè a, li wè l' bon.
And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed according to their kind, and trees bearing fruit in which is the seed of it, according to their kind. And God saw that it was good.
13 Yon lannwit pase, yon maten rive. Se te twazyèm jou a.
And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
14 Bondye di ankò. Se pou limyè parèt nan syèl la pou separe lajounen ak lannwit. Y'a sèvi pou make jou yo, lanne yo ak sezon yo.
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years.
15 Y'a sèvi limyè nan syèl la pou klere tout latè a. Se konsa sa te pase.
And let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth. And it was so.
16 Bondye fè de gwo limyè, pi gwo a pou kòmande sou lajounen, pi piti a pou kòmande sou lannwit. Li fè zetwal yo tou.
And God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, also the stars.
17 Li mete yo nan syèl la pou klere latè a,
And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 pou kòmande sou lajounen ak sou lannwit, pou separe limyè ak fènwa. Bondye gade sa l' te fè a, li wè l' bon.
and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 Yon lannwit pase, yon maten rive. Se te katriyèm jou a.
And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 Bondye di ankò. Se pou dlo yo kale anpil anpil bèt vivan. Se pou zwazo vole nan syèl la anwo tè a. Se konsa sa te pase.
And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 Bondye kreye gwo bèt lanmè yo, tout kalite bèt vivan k'ap naje nan dlo ansanm ak tout kalite zwazo. Bondye gade sa l' te fè a, li wè l' bon.
And God created the great sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 Bondye beni yo, li di. Fè pitit, fè anpil anpil pitit, plen dlo lanmè a. Se pou zwazo yo fè anpil anpil pitit tout sou tè a.
And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.
23 Yon lannwit pase, yon maten rive. Se te senkyèm jou a.
And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 Bondye di ankò. Se pou tè a kale tout kalite bèt vivan, bèt yo gade, bèt ki trennen sou vant, bèt nan bwa. Se konsa sa te pase.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth according to their kind. And it was so.
25 Bondye fè tout kalite bèt, bèt nan bwa, bèt yo gade, bèt ki trennen sou vant. Li gade sa l' te fè a, li wè l' bon.
And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kind, and the cattle according to their kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 Bondye di ankò. Ann fè moun. N'ap fè l' pòtre ak nou, pou li sanble ak nou. La gen pouvwa sou pwason ki nan lanmè yo, sou zwazo ki nan syèl la, sou tout bèt yo gade, sou tout latè, sou tout bèt nan bwa, sou tout bèt ki trennen sou vant sou tè a.
And God said, Let us make mankind in our image-after our likeness-and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.
27 Bondye kreye moun. Li fè l' pòtre ak li. Li kreye yo gason ak fi.
And God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them.
28 Li ba yo benediksyon, li di. Fè pitit, fè anpil anpil pitit mete sou tè a. Donte tè a. Mwen ban nou pouvwa sou pwason ki nan lanmè, sou zwazo ki nan syèl la, ak sou tout bèt vivan k'ap mache sou tè a.
And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and have power over it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.
29 Bondye di. Gade. Mwen ban nou tout kalite plant ki bay grenn ak tout kalite pyebwa ki bay fwi ak grenn pou nou manje.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed. To you it shall be for food,
30 Men, tout bèt ki sou tè a, tout zwazo ki nan syèl la, tout bèt ki trennen sou vant, wi tout bèt vivan, m'ap ba yo zèb vèt pou yo manje. Se konsa sa te pase.
and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creeps upon the earth in which there is life, for food-every green herb. And it was so.
31 Bondye gade sa l' te fè a, li wè l' bon nèt. Yon lannwit pase, yon maten rive. Se te sizyèm jou a.
And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
