Jenesis 1
1 Na mmalite Chineke kere eluigwe na ụwa.
IN THE beginning God created the heaven 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.
Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters.
3 Mgbe ahụ Chineke kwuru sị, “Ka ìhè dị,” ìhè dịkwara.
And God said: 'Let there be light.' And there was light.
4 Chineke hụrụ na ìhè ahụ mara mma. Ọ kpara oke nʼetiti ìhè na ọchịchịrị.
And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 Chineke kpọrọ ìhè ahụ Ehihie, kpọọ ọchịchịrị ahụ Abalị. Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke mbụ.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
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 said: 'Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the 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 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 Mbara ahụ ka Chineke kpọrọ mbara eluigwe. Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke abụọ.
And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a 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 said: 'Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear.' And it was 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 called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters called He Seas; and God saw that it was 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 said: 'Let the earth put forth grass, herb yielding seed, and fruit-tree bearing fruit after its kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth.' And it was 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 brought forth grass, herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
13 Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke atọ.
And there was evening and there was morning, a 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 said: 'Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;
15 Ka ha bụrụ ìhè na mbara eluigwe inye ìhè nʼelu ụwa.” O si otu a dịrị.
and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.' And it was 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 made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; and the stars.
17 Chineke debere ha na mbara eluigwe inye ìhè nʼụwa,
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon 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 the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good.
19 Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke anọ.
And there was evening and there was morning, a 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 said: 'Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let fowl fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.'
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 created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that creepeth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after its kind, and every winged fowl after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
22 Chineke gọziri ha, sị ha, “Mụbaanụ, dịkwanụ ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ, jupụtanụ osimiri niile. Ka anụ ufe dịkwa ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ nʼelu ụwa.”
And God blessed them, saying: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.'
23 Uhuruchi dị, ụtụtụ dịkwa. Ọ bụrụ ụbọchị nke ise.
And there was evening and there was morning, a 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 said: '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 was 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 made the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was 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 said: 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon 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 created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He 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 blessed them; and God said unto them: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that creepeth upon 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 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 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 fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is a living soul, I have given every green herb for food.' And it was 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 saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
