+ 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.
The earth was without form and empty. Darkness was upon the surface of the deep. The Spirit of God was moving above the surface of the waters.
3 Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Misia mazava; dia nisy mazava.
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.
God saw the light, that it was good. He divided 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.
God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” This was evening and morning, the first day.
6 Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Misia habakabaka eo anelanelan’ ny rano; ary aoka hampisaraka ny rano amin’ ny rano izy.
God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”
7 Ary Andriamanitra nanao ny habakabakaka ka nampisaraka ny rano ambanin’ ny habakabaka tamin’ ny rano ambonin’ ny habakabaka; dia nisy izany.
God made the expanse and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse. It was so.
8 Ary Andriamanitra nanao ny habakabaka hoe lanitra. Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro faharoa izany.
God called the expanse “sky.” This was evening and morning, the 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.
God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear.” It was so.
10 Ary Andriamanitra nanao ny maina hoe tany; ary ny rano tafangona nataony hoe ranomasina. Ary hitan’ Andriamanitra fa tsara izany.
God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” He 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.
God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation: plants yielding seed and fruit trees bearing fruit whose seed is in the fruit, each according to its own kind.” 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.
The earth produced vegetation, plants producing seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit whose seed was in it, after their kind. God saw that it was good.
13 Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro fahatelo izany.
This was evening and morning, the 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.
God said, “Let there be lights in the sky to divide the day from the night and let them be as signs, for seasons, for days and years.
15 Ary aoka ho fanazavana eny amin’ ny habakabaky ny lanitra izy hanazava eny ambonin’ ny tany; dia nisy izany.
Let them be lights in the sky to give light upon the earth.” 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.
God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.
17 Ary Andriamanitra nametraka azy teny amin’ ny habakabaky ny lanitra hanazava eny ambonin’ ny tany,
God set them in the sky to give light upon the earth,
18 sy ho mpanapaka ny andro sy ny alina, ary hampisaraka ny mazava sy ny maizina. Ary hitan’ Andriamanitra fa tsara izany.
to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good.
19 Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro fahefatra izany.
This was evening and morning, the 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.
God said, “Let the waters be filled with great numbers of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the expanse of the sky.”
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.
God created the great sea creatures, as well as every living creature after its kind, creatures that move and which fill the waters everywhere, and every winged bird after its kind. 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.
God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas. Let birds multiply on the earth.”
23 Dia nisy fa hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro fahadimy izany.
This was evening and morning, the 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.
God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures, each according to its own kind, livestock, creeping things, and beasts of the earth, each according to its own kind.” 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.
God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, the livestock after their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the ground after its kind. He 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.
God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 Ary Andriamanitra nahary ny olona tahaka ny endriny; tahaka ny endrik’ Andriamanitra no namoronany azy; lahy sy vavy no namoronany azy.
God created man in his own image. In his own 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.
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply. Fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves upon 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.
God said, “See, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the surface of all the earth, and every tree with fruit which has seed in it. They will be food to you.
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.
To every beast of the earth, to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creeps upon the earth, and to every creature that has the breath of life I have given every green plant for food.” It was so.
31 Ary hitan’ Andriamanitra izay rehetra nataony, ary, indro, tsara indrindra izany. Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro fahenina izany.
God saw everything that he had made. Behold, it was very good. This was evening and morning, the sixth day.
