Jenèz 1
1 Nan kòmansman an Bondye te kreye syèl yo ak tè a.
In the beginning God created 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.
Now the earth was formless and empty, and darkness was on the surface of the watery depths. And God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.
3 Alò Bondye te di: “Ke li gen limyè”. Epi te gen limyè.
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
4 Bondye te wè ke limyè a te bon. Bondye te separe limyè a avèk tenèb la.
And God saw that the light was good. And God separated 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 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. There was evening and there was 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 an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." And it was so.
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 the expanse, and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse.
8 Bondye te rele gran espas la syèl. Epi te gen aswè, e te gen maten, yon dezyèm jou.
And God called the expanse Sky. And God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a 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.
And God said, "Let the waters under the sky be gathered to one gathering, and let the dry land appear." And it was so. And the waters under the sky gathered to their gatherings, and the dry land appeared.
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 gatherings 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 God said, "Let the earth produce vegetation, plants yielding seed after its kind, and fruit trees bearing fruit with seed in it after its kind, on the earth." And it was 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 brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after its kind, and fruit trees bearing fruit with seed in it after its kind, on the earth. And God saw that it was good.
13 Te gen aswè, ak maten, yon twazyèm jou.
There was evening and there was morning, a 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 in the expanse of the sky for the illumination of the day, to give light on the earth, and to rule the day and the night, and to separate between the day and the night. And let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and for years,
15 ke yo vin sèvi pou limyè nan gran espas syèl yo pou bay limyè sou latè”. Konsa, sa te vin fèt.
and let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was 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 made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the 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 God set them in the expanse of the sky to shine on 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 the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 Te gen aswè, e te gen maten, yon katriyèm jou.
There was evening and there was morning, a 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.”
And God said, "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let flying creatures fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky." And it was so.
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 large sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after its kind, and every winged flying creature after 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 God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the flying creatures multiply on the earth."
23 Te gen aswè ak maten, yon senkyèm jou.
There was evening and there was morning, a 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 living creatures after its kind: tame animals, and crawling creatures, and wild animals of the earth after its kind." And it was 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 made the wild animals of the earth after its kind, and the tame animals after its kind, and everything that crawls on the ground 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 God said, "Let us make humankind in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of the sky, and over the tame animals, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creature that crawls on the earth." And it was so.
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 humankind in his own image. In God's image 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, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of the sky, and over all the tame animals, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over all the creatures that crawl on 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, "Look, I have given you every plant yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your 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 wild animal of the earth, and to every tame animal of the earth, and to every flying creature of the sky, and to every creature that crawls on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green plant for food."
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 everything that he had made, and look, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
