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 formless and empty, and darkness covered the surface of the deep. The Spirit of God moved over 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 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 he called the darkness “night.” So there was evening, and then the morning, making day one.
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 in the middle of the waters to divide 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 an expanse to divide the waters that were above from the waters that were below. And that's what happened.
8 Ary Andriamanitra nanao ny habakabaka hoe lanitra. Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro faharoa izany.
God called the expanse, “sky.” So there was evening, and then the morning, making day two.
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 below the sky collect together in one place so that the land may appear.” And so it was.
10 Ary Andriamanitra nanao ny maina hoe tany; ary ny rano tafangona nataony hoe ranomasina. Ary hitan’ Andriamanitra fa tsara izany.
God called the land “earth” and the waters “seas.” 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.
God said, “Let the earth produce vegetation—plants that produce seeds and trees that produce seeded fruit—each one according to its own kind.” And that's what happened.
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 that produce seeds and trees that produce seeded fruit—each one according to its own kind. God saw that it was good.
13 Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro fahatelo izany.
So there was evening, and then the morning, making day three.
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 separate day from night, and to provide a way to mark seasons, days, and years.
15 Ary aoka ho fanazavana eny amin’ ny habakabaky ny lanitra izy hanazava eny ambonin’ ny tany; dia nisy izany.
They shall be lights in the sky to shine on the earth.” And that's what happened.
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 created two great lights: the larger one in charge of the day, and the smaller one in charge of the night. He created the stars too.
17 Ary Andriamanitra nametraka azy teny amin’ ny habakabaky ny lanitra hanazava eny ambonin’ ny tany,
God placed these lights in 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 be in charge of the day and in charge of the night, and to separate light from darkness. God saw that it was good.
19 Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro fahefatra izany.
So there was evening, and then the morning, making day four.
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 full of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in 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 huge sea creatures and all the living things that swim and fill the waters, each one according to its own kind; and every bird that flies, each one according to its own 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 and said, “Reproduce and increase, and fill the waters of the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.”
23 Dia nisy fa hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro fahadimy izany.
So there was evening, and then the morning, making day five.
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 land produce living creatures, each one according to its own kind—the livestock, the creatures that run along the ground, and the wild animals, each one according to its own kind.” And that's what happened.
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 wild animals, the livestock, and the creatures that run along the ground, all according to their own kind. 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.
God said, “Let us make human beings in our image who are like us. They will have authority over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over the whole of the earth and every creature that moves on 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 human beings in his own image. He created them in the image of God. He created them male and female.
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 told them, “Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth and control it; exercise authority over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves 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.
God said, “Look, I'm giving you as your food every seed-bearing plant anywhere on earth, and every tree that produces fruit with seeds.
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.
I'm giving all the green plants to all the land animals, to the birds, and to every creature that moves on the earth—to every living thing.” And that's what happened.
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 created, and yes, it was very good. So there was evening, and then the morning, making day six.
