Jenèz 1
1 Nan kòmansman an Bondye te kreye syèl yo ak tè a.
In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth —
2 Latè te san fòm e vid, epi tenèb la te sou tout sifas fon an, e Lespri Bondye t ap ajite sou fas dlo a.
the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness [is] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the face of the waters,
3 Alò Bondye te di: “Ke li gen limyè”. Epi te gen limyè.
and God saith, 'Let light be;' and light is.
4 Bondye te wè ke limyè a te bon. Bondye te separe limyè a avèk tenèb la.
And God seeth the light that [it is] good, and God separateth between the light and the darkness,
5 Bondye te rele limyè a jou, e tenèb la, Li te rele li lannwit. Konsa, te gen aswè, ak maten, yon jou.
and God calleth to the light 'Day,' and to the darkness He hath called 'Night;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day one.
6 Alò Bondye te di: “Ke vin gen yon gran espas nan mitan dlo yo, e ke li separe dlo avèk dlo”.
And God saith, 'Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.'
7 Bondye te fè gran espas la. Li te separe dlo ki te anba gran espas la, avèk lo ki te anwo gran espas la. Se konsa sa te ye.
And God maketh the expanse, and it separateth between the waters which [are] under the expanse, and the waters which [are] above the expanse: and it is so.
8 Bondye te rele gran espas la syèl. Epi te gen aswè, e te gen maten, yon dezyèm jou.
And God calleth to the expanse 'Heavens;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day second.
9 Alò Bondye te di: “Ke dlo anba syèl yo vin rasanble nan yon plas, e ke tè sèch la vin parèt”. Konsa, sa te vin fèt.
And God saith, 'Let the waters under the heavens be collected unto one place, and let the dry land be seen:' and it is so.
10 Bondye te rele pati sèch la tè, ak dlo ki rasanble yo, lanmè. Epi Bondye te wè ke sa te bon.
And God calleth to the dry land 'Earth,' and to the collection of the waters He hath called 'Seas;' and God seeth that [it is] good.
11 Epi Bondye te di: “Ke latè a boujonnen avèk bagay vèt; plant ki donnen grenn selon espès pa yo, ak bwa k ap donnen fwi avèk grenn nan yo selon espès pa yo”. Konsa, sa te vin fèt.
And God saith, 'Let the earth yield tender grass, herb sowing seed, fruit-tree (whose seed [is] in itself) making fruit after its kind, on the earth:' and it is so.
12 Latè te pwodwi bagay vèt, plant ki donnen grenn selon espès pa yo, ak pyebwa ki pwodwi fwi avèk grenn sou yo selon espès pa yo. Bondye te wè ke sa te bon.
And the earth bringeth forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed [is] in itself) after its kind; and God seeth that [it is] good;
13 Te gen aswè, ak maten, yon twazyèm jou.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day third.
14 Alò Bondye te di: “Ke vin gen limyè nan gran espas syèl yo pou separe jou avèk nwit lan, e ke yo vin kòm sign pou sezon yo, pou jou avèk lane yo;
And God saith, 'Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to make a separation between the day and the night, then they have been for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years,
15 ke yo vin sèvi pou limyè nan gran espas syèl yo pou bay limyè sou latè”. Konsa, sa te vin fèt.
and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth:' and it is so.
16 Bondye te fè de gran limyè, pi gran an pou gouvène lajounen, e pi piti a pou gouvène lannwit. Anplis, Li te fè zetwal yo.
And God maketh the two great luminaries, the great luminary for the rule of the day, and the small luminary — and the stars — for the rule of the night;
17 Bondye te plase yo nan gran espas syèl yo pou bay limyè sou latè,
and God giveth them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth,
18 epi pou gouvène lajounen avèk lannwit, e pou separe limyè a avèk tenèb la. Bondye te wè ke sa te bon.
and to rule over day and over night, and to make a separation between the light and the darkness; and God seeth that [it is] good;
19 Te gen aswè, e te gen maten, yon katriyèm jou.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day fourth.
20 Alò Bondye te di: “Ke dlo yo vin ranpli avèk anpil kreyati vivan, e ke zwazo yo vole anwo tè a nan gran espas syèl yo.”
And God saith, 'Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature, and fowl let fly on the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.'
21 Bondye te kreye gwo bèt sovaj lanmè avèk tout kreyati vivan ki fè mouvman. Dlo yo te plen bèt selon espès pa yo, e chak zwazo selon espès pa l. Bondye te wè ke sa te bon.
And God prepareth the great monsters, and every living creature that is creeping, which the waters have teemed with, after their kind, and every fowl with wing, after its kind, and God seeth that [it is] good.
22 Bondye te beni yo. Li te di: “Fè pitit, e vin miltipliye. Ranpli dlo nan lanmè yo, e kite zwazo yo vin miltipliye sou tè a.”
And God blesseth them, saying, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and the fowl let multiply in the earth:'
23 Te gen aswè ak maten, yon senkyèm jou.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day fifth.
24 Alò, Bondye te di, “Ke tè a vin pwodwi kreyati vivan dapre espès pa yo; bèt domestik, reptil, avèk bèt latè selon espès yo”. Se konsa li te fèt.
And God saith, 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind:' and it is so.
25 Bondye te fè bèt latè yo selon espès yo, ak bèt gade yo dapre espès yo, tout bèt ki trennen atè dapre espès yo; epi Bondye te wè ke sa te bon.
And God maketh the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, and God seeth that [it is] good.
26 Alò Bondye te di, “Annou fè lòm nan limaj Nou, menm jan ke Nou sanble a, e ke yo vin mèt sou tout pwason nan lanmè, sou zwazo yo nan syèl yo, sou bèt domestik nan chan yo, ak sou tout bèt reptil ki ranpe atè”.
And God saith, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.'
27 Bondye te kreye lòm, nan pwòp imaj pa Li, nan imaj Bondye Li te kreye li; mal avèk femèl Li te kreye yo.
And God prepareth the man in His image; in the image of God He prepared him, a male and a female He prepared them.
28 Bondye te beni yo; Li te di yo, “Se pou nou vin fekon. Fè pitit pou ranpli latè, e domine sou li; se pou nou vin mèt sou pwason lanmè yo ak zwazo anlè yo, sou chak bèt vivan kab fè mouvman sou tè a”.
And God blesseth them, and God saith to them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping upon the earth.'
29 Alò Bondye te di, “Gade byen, Mwen bannou chak plant ki donnen grenn sou sifas tout tè a, ak chak bwa ki gen fwi avèk grenn li; li va sèvi kòm manje pou nou;
And God saith, 'Lo, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which [is] the fruit of a tree sowing seed, to you it is for food;
30 Epi a chak bèt latè ak chak zwazo syèl a, chak bagay kab fè mouvman ou tè a, bagay ki gen lavi, Mwen te bay chak plant vèt pou manje”; epi se te konsa.
and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to every creeping thing on the earth, in which [is] breath of life, every green herb [is] for food:' and it is so.
31 Bondye te wè tout sa Li te kreye yo, e gade byen, sa te trè bon. Te gen aswè, ak maten, sizyèm jou.
And God seeth all that He hath done, and lo, very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day the sixth.
