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 void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God 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 He 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.
God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first 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 between the waters, to separate 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.
So God made the expanse and separated the waters beneath it from the waters above. And 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.” And there was evening, and there was 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.
And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered into one place, so that the dry land may appear.” And 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 gathering of 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.
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth vegetation: seed-bearing plants and fruit trees, each bearing fruit with seed according to its kind.” 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.
The earth produced vegetation: seed-bearing plants according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
13 Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro fahatelo izany.
And there was evening, and there was 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.
And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to distinguish between the day and the night, and let them be signs to mark the seasons and days and 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 shine upon 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.
God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. And He made the stars as well.
17 Ary Andriamanitra nametraka azy teny amin’ ny habakabaky ny lanitra hanazava eny ambonin’ ny tany,
God set these lights in the expanse of the sky to shine 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 preside over the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro fahefatra izany.
And there was evening, and there was 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.
And God said, “Let the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open 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.
So God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters teemed according to their kinds, and every bird of flight 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.
Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters of the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”
23 Dia nisy fa hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro fahadimy izany.
And there was evening, and there was 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.
And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, land crawlers, and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” 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.
God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that crawls upon the earth according to 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.
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.”
27 Ary Andriamanitra nahary ny olona tahaka ny endriny; tahaka ny endrik’ Andriamanitra no namoronany azy; lahy sy vavy no namoronany azy.
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God 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, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls 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.
Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit contains seed. They will be yours for 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 beast of the earth and every bird of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth—everything that has the breath of life in it—I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.
31 Ary hitan’ Andriamanitra izay rehetra nataony, ary, indro, tsara indrindra izany. Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro fahenina izany.
And God looked upon all that He had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
