Jenèz 1
1 Nan kòmansman an Bondye te kreye syèl yo ak tè a.
In the beginning God created heaven, and 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.
And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters.
3 Alò Bondye te di: “Ke li gen limyè”. Epi te gen limyè.
And God said: Be light made. And light was made.
4 Bondye te wè ke limyè a te bon. Bondye te separe limyè a avèk tenèb la.
And God saw the light that it was good; and he divided the light from 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 he called the light Day, and the darkness Night; and there was evening and morning one day.
6 Alò Bondye te di: “Ke vin gen yon gran espas nan mitan dlo yo, e ke li separe dlo avèk dlo”.
And God said: Let there be a firmament made amidst the waters: and let it divide the waters from the 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 made a firmament, and divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament, and it was so.
8 Bondye te rele gran espas la syèl. Epi te gen aswè, e te gen maten, yon dezyèm jou.
And God called the firmament, Heaven; and the evening and morning were the second day.
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.
God also said: Let the waters that are under the heaven, be gathered together into one place: and let the dry land appear. And it was so done.
10 Bondye te rele pati sèch la tè, ak dlo ki rasanble yo, lanmè. Epi Bondye te wè ke sa te bon.
And God called the dry land, Earth; and the gathering together of the waters, he called Seas. And God saw that it was 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 he said: Let the earth bring forth the green herb, and such as may seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, which may have seed in itself upon the earth. And it was so done.
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 brought forth the green herb, and such as yieldeth seed according to its kind, and the tree that beareth fruit, having seed each one according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
13 Te gen aswè, ak maten, yon twazyèm jou.
And the evening and the morning were the third day.
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 said: Let there be lights made in the firmament of heaven, to divide the day and the night, and let them be 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.
To shine in the firmament of heaven, and to give light upon the earth. And it was so done.
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 made two great lights: a greater light to rule the day; and a lesser light to rule the night: and the stars.
17 Bondye te plase yo nan gran espas syèl yo pou bay limyè sou latè,
And he set them in the firmament of heaven to shine 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 the day and the night, and to divide the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 Te gen aswè, e te gen maten, yon katriyèm jou.
And the evening and morning were the fourth day.
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.”
God also said: Let the waters bring forth the creeping creature having life, and the fowl that may fly over the earth under the firmament of heaven.
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 created the great whales, and every living and moving creature, which the waters brought forth, according to their kinds, and every winged fowl according to its kind. And God saw that it was 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 he blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea: and let the birds be multiplied upon the earth.
23 Te gen aswè ak maten, yon senkyèm jou.
And the evening and morning were the fifth day.
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 said: Let the earth bring forth the living creature in its kind, cattle and creeping things, and beasts of the earth, according to their kinds. And it was so done.
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 made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and cattle, and every thing that creepeth on the earth after its kind. And God saw that it was 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 he said: Let us make man to our image and likeness: and let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts, and the whole earth, and every creeping creature that moveth upon 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 created man to his own image: to the image of God he created him: male and female he created 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 blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move 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 said: Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed upon the earth, and all trees that have in themselves seed of their own kind, to be your meat:
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 all beasts of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to all that move upon the earth, and wherein there is life, that they may have to feed upon. And it was so done.
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 saw all the things that he had made, and they were very good. And the evening and morning were the sixth day.
