Genesisy 1
1 Tamin’ ny voalohany Andriamanitra nahary ny lanitra sy ny tany.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Ary ny tany dia tsy nisy endrika sady foana; ary aizina no tambonin’ ny lalina. Ary ny fanahin’ Andriamanitra nanomba tambonin’ ny rano.
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 Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Misia mazava; dia nisy mazava.
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
4 Ary hitan’ Andriamanitra fa tsara ny mazava; ary nampisarahin’ Andriamanitra ny mazava sy ny maizina.
And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness.
5 Ary Andriamanitra nanao ny mazava hoe andro; ary ny maizina nataony hoe alina. Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro voalohany izany.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. There was evening and there was morning, one day.
6 Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Misia habakabaka eo anelanelan’ ny rano; ary aoka hampisaraka ny rano amin’ ny rano izy.
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 Ary Andriamanitra nanao ny habakabakaka ka nampisaraka ny rano ambanin’ ny habakabaka tamin’ ny rano ambonin’ ny habakabaka; dia nisy izany.
And God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse.
8 Ary Andriamanitra nanao ny habakabaka hoe lanitra. Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro faharoa izany.
And God called the expanse Sky. And God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Aoka hiangona ny rano eny ambanin’ ny lanitra ho eo amin’ ny fitoerana iray, ary aoka hiseho ny maina; dia nisy izany.
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 Ary Andriamanitra nanao ny maina hoe tany; ary ny rano tafangona nataony hoe ranomasina. Ary hitan’ Andriamanitra fa tsara izany.
And God called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11 Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Aoka ny tany haniry ahitra sy anana mamoa ary hazo fihinam-boa izay mamoa, samy araka ny karazany avy, ka manam-boa ao aminy, eny ambonin’ ny tany; dia nisy izany.
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 Ary ny tany naniry ahitra sy anana mamoa samy araka ny karazany avy, ary hazo mamoa izay manam-boa ao aminy, samy araka ny karazany avy. Ary hitan’ Andriamanitra fa tsara izany.
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 Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro fahatelo izany.
There was evening and there was morning, a third day.
14 Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Misia fahazavana eny amin’ ny habakabaky ny lanitra hampisaraka ny andro sy ny alina; ary aoka ho famantarana sy ho fotoana ary ho andro sy taona ireo.
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 Ary aoka ho fanazavana eny amin’ ny habakabaky ny lanitra izy hanazava eny ambonin’ ny tany; dia nisy izany.
and let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so.
16 Ary Andriamanitra nanao ny fanazavana roa lehibe, dia ny fanazavana lehibe ho mpanapaka ny andro ary ny fanazavana kely ho mpanapaka ny alina sy ny kintana.
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 Ary Andriamanitra nametraka azy teny amin’ ny habakabaky ny lanitra hanazava eny ambonin’ ny tany,
And God set them in the expanse of the sky to shine on the earth,
18 sy ho mpanapaka ny andro sy ny alina, ary hampisaraka ny mazava sy ny maizina. Ary hitan’ Andriamanitra fa tsara izany.
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 Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro fahefatra izany.
There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Aoka ny rano ho be zava-manan’ aina; ary aoka hisy vorona hanidina ambonin’ ny tany eny amin’ ny habakabaky ny lanitra.
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 Ary Andriamanitra nahary ny biby vaventy anaty rano sy ny zava-manan’ aina mihetsiketsika rehetra, izay efa betsaka ao amin’ ny rano, samy araka ny karazany avy, ary ny voro-manidina rehetra, samy araka ny karazany avy. Ary hitan’ Andriamanitra fa tsara izany.
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 Ary Andriamanitra nitso-drano azy hoe: Maroa anaka sy mihabetsaha ary mamenoa ny rano ao amin’ ny ranomasina; ary aoka ny vorona hihamaro eny ambonin’ ny tany.
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 Dia nisy fa hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro fahadimy izany.
There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Aoka ny tany hamoaka zava-manan’ aina samy araka ny karazany avy, dia biby fiompy sy biby mandady sy mikisaka ary bibi-dia, samy araka ny karazany avy; dia nisy izany.
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 Ary Andriamanitra nanao ny bibi-dia, samy araka ny karazany avy, sy ny biby fiompy, samy araka ny karazany avy, ary ny biby rehetra izay mandady na mikisaka amin’ ny tany, samy araka ny karazany avy. Ary hitan’ Andriamanitra fa tsara izany.
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 Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Andeha Isika hamorona olona tahaka ny endritsika, araka ny tarehintsika; ary aoka izy hanjaka amin’ ny hazandrano ao amin’ ny ranomasina sy ny voro-manidina sy ny biby fiompy sy ny tany rehetra ary ny biby rehetra izay mandady na mikisaka amin’ ny tany.
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 Ary Andriamanitra nahary ny olona tahaka ny endriny; tahaka ny endrik’ Andriamanitra no namoronany azy; lahy sy vavy no namoronany azy.
And God created humankind in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.
28 Ary Andriamanitra nitso-drano azy hoe: Maroa fara sy mihabetsaha ary mamenoa ny tany, ka mampanompoa azy; ary manjaka amin’ ny hazandrano ao amin’ ny ranomasina sy ny voro-manidina ary ny biby rehetra izay mihetsiketsika ambonin’ ny tany.
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 Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Indro, efa nomeko anareo ny anana manintsam-boa rehetra izay ambonin’ ny tany rehetra ary ny hazo rehetra izay misy voa sady manintsam-boa; dia ho fihinana anareo ireny.
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 Ary ny amin’ ny bibi-dia rehetra sy ny voro-manidina rehetra ary ny zava-manan’ aina rehetra izay mandady na mikisaka amin’ ny tany, dia efa nomeko azy ny zava-maitso rehetra ho fihinany; dia nisy izany.
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 Ary hitan’ Andriamanitra izay rehetra nataony, ary, indro, tsara indrindra izany. Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro fahenina izany.
And God saw everything that he had made, and look, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
