Jenesis 1
1 Na mmalite Chineke kere eluigwe na ụwa.
In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth,
2 Ụwa bụ ihe na-enweghị ụdịdị ọbụla, bụrụkwa ihe tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Ọchịchịrị gbara nʼelu ogbu mmiri dị omimi. Mmụọ nke Chineke na-erugharị nʼelu ogbu mmiri ahụ.
and the earth was formless and void, and darkness [was] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God [was] fluttering on the face of the waters,
3 Mgbe ahụ Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka ìhè dị,” ìhè dịkwara.
and God says, “Let light be”; and light is.
4 Chineke hụrụ na ìhè ahụ mara mma. Ọ kpara oke nʼetiti ìhè na ọchịchịrị.
And God sees that the light [is] good, and God separates between the light and the darkness,
5 Chineke kpọrọ ìhè ahụ Ehihie, kpọọ ọchịchịrị ahụ Abalị. Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke mbụ.
and God calls the light “Day,” and the darkness He has called “Night”; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—day one.
6 Chineke kwukwara sị, “Ka mbara pụta nke ga-ekewapụ mmiri dị nʼelu mbara ahụ site na mmiri nke dị nʼokpuru mbara ahụ”
And God says, “Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.”
7 Ya mere, Chineke mere mbara, kewapụ mmiri dị nʼokpuru mbara ahụ site na mmiri nke dị nʼelu mbara ahụ. O sikwa otu a dịrị.
And God makes the expanse, and it separates between the waters which [are] under the expanse, and the waters which [are] above the expanse: and it is so.
8 Mbara ahụ ka Chineke kpọrọ mbara eluigwe. Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke abụọ.
And God calls the expanse “Heavens”; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] second day.
9 Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka mmiri dị nʼokpuru mbara eluigwe chịkọta onwe ha ọnụ nʼotu ebe, ka ala akọrọ pụta.” O sikwa otu a dịrị.
And God says, “Let the waters under the heavens be collected to one place, and let the dry land be seen”: and it is so.
10 Chineke kpọrọ ala akọrọ ahụ “ala,” kpọọ mmiri ahụ chịkọtara onwe ha ọnụ “osimiri.” Chineke lere anya hụ na ha dị mma.
And God calls the dry land “Earth,” and the collection of the waters He has called “Seas”; and God sees that [it is] good.
11 Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka ala pupụta ahịhịa ndụ dị iche iche: ahịhịa na-amịpụta mkpụrụ, na osisi dị nʼelu ala nke na-amịpụta mkpụrụ, nke mkpụrụ ọkụkụ ya dị nʼime ya, dịka ụdịdị ha dị iche iche si dị.” O sikwa otu a dịrị.
And God says, “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 Ala puputara ahịhịa ndụ dị iche iche: ahịhịa na-amịpụta mkpụrụ dịka ụdịdị ha si dị, na osisi na-amịpụta mkpụrụ, nke mkpụrụ ọkụkụ ya dị nʼime ya, dịka ụdịdị ha si dị. Chineke lere anya hụ na ọ dị mma.
And the earth brings forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed [is] in itself) after its kind; and God sees that [it is] good;
13 Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke atọ.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] third day.
14 Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka ìhè nke na-enye ìhè dịrị na mbara eluigwe, ikewapụ ehihie site nʼabalị. Ka ha bụrụ ihe ama igosi oge dị iche iche, ụbọchị dị iche iche, na afọ dị iche iche.
And God says, “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 appointed times, and for days and years,
15 Ka ha bụrụ ìhè na mbara eluigwe inye ìhè nʼelu ụwa.” O si otu a dịrị.
and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”: and it is so.
16 Chineke mere ìhè ukwu abụọ, nke kacha ịdị ukwu ka ọ bụrụ nke ga-achị ehihie, ma nke dị nta ka ọ bụrụ nke ga-achị abalị. O mekwara kpakpando dị iche iche.
And God makes 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 Chineke debere ha na mbara eluigwe inye ìhè nʼụwa,
and God gives them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
18 ịchị ehihie na abalị na ịkpa oke nʼetiti ìhè na ọchịchịrị. Chineke lere anya hụ na ọ dị mma.
and to rule over day and over night, and to make a separation between the light and the darkness; and God sees that [it is] good;
19 Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke anọ.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fourth day.
20 Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka mmiri jupụta nʼihe ndị na-eku ume, ka ụmụ anụ ufe fegharịkwa nʼelu ụwa, ma nʼelu mbara igwe.”
And God says, “Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature, and let [the] bird fly above the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.”
21 Ya mere Chineke kere anụ ukwu niile bi na mmiri, na anụ niile nwere ndụ bi na mmiri, na ụdị ihe ọbụla nwere ndụ na-akpụgharị akpụgharị ndị jupụtara na mmiri, dịka ụdịdị ha si dị, na anụ ufe niile dịka ụdịdị ha si dị. Chineke lere anya hụ na ọ dị mma.
And God creates the great dragons, and every living creature that is creeping, which the waters have teemed with, after their kind, and every bird with wing, after its kind, and God sees that [it is] good.
22 Chineke gọziri ha, sị ha, “Mụbaanụ, dịkwanụ ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ, jupụtanụ osimiri niile. Ka anụ ufe dịkwa ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ nʼelu ụwa.”
And God blesses them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the bird multiply in the earth”:
23 Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke ise.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] fifth day.
24 Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka ala wepụta ụmụ anụ dị iche iche nwere ndụ dịka ụdịdị ha si dị: anụ ụlọ, anụ na-akpụgharị nʼala, na anụ ọhịa, nke ọbụla dịka ụdịdị ya si dị.” O si otu a dịrị.
And God says, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, livestock and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind”: and it is so.
25 Chineke mere ụmụ anụ ọhịa, dịka ụdịdị ha si dị, mee anụ ụlọ, dịka ụdịdị ha si dị, na anụ niile nwere ndụ nke na-akpụgharị nʼala dịka ụdịdị ha si dị. Chineke lere anya hụ na ọ dị mma.
And God makes the beast of the earth after its kind, and the livestock after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, and God sees that [it is] good.
26 Mgbe ahụ, Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka anyị mee mmadụ nʼoyiyi anyị, dịka ụdịdị anyị si dị, ka ha chịa azụ niile nke osimiri, na anụ ufe niile nke eluigwe, na anụ ụlọ niile, na anụ ọhịa niile, na ihe niile e kere eke nwere ndụ nke na-akpụ akpụ nʼala.”
And God says, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.”
27 Ya mere, Chineke kere mmadụ nʼoyiyi nke ya, nʼoyiyi Chineke ka o kere ha, nwoke na nwanyị ka o kere ha.
And God creates the man in His image; in the image of God He created him, a male and a female He created them.
28 Chineke gọziri ha sị ha, “Mịanụ mkpụrụ, mụbaanụ, jupụtanụ nʼụwa, meenụ ka ihe niile dịrị nʼokpuru unu. Chịanụ azụ niile nke osimiri na anụ ufe niile nke eluigwe na ihe niile e kere dị ndụ nke na-akpụgharị akpụgharị nʼala.”
And God blesses them, and God says to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping on the earth.”
29 Mgbe ahụ, Chineke sịrị “Enyela m unu ahịhịa ubi niile na-amị mkpụrụ dị nʼelu ụwa, na osisi ọbụla mịrị mkpụrụ, nke mkpụrụ ọkụkụ ya dị nʼime ha, ka ha bụrụ ihe oriri gị.
And God says, “Behold, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which [is] on 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 Ma ụmụ anụmanụ niile na anụ ufe niile, na anụ niile e kere eke na-akpụgharị akpụgharị nʼala, anụ ọbụla nwere ndụ nʼime ha ka m na-enye ahịhịa ndụ niile ka ọ bụrụ ihe oriri ha.”
and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird 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 Chineke legharịrị anya nʼihe o kere, hụ na ọ dị ezi mma. Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke isii.
And God sees all that He has done, and behold, [it is] very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—the sixth day.
