1 Tam-pifotorañ’ añe, namboaren’ Añahare o likerañeo naho ty tane toy,
In the beginning, God created heaven and earth.
2 ie amy zay tsy amam‑bintañe naho kòake ty tane toy naho nimoro­­­moro­ñe ty an-tarehe’ i lalekey, vaho nihelahela ambone’ o ranoo t’i Arofon’ Añahare.
But the earth was empty and unoccupied, and darknesses were over the face of the abyss; and so the Spirit of God was brought over the waters.
3 Hoe t’i ­Andrianañahare: Ampiloneahan-kazavàñe; le nisodehan-kazavàñe.
And God said, “Let there be light.” And light became.
4 Nivazohon’ Añahare i hazavañey te nisoa, le navahen’ Añahare amy ieñey i hazavàñey,
And God saw the light, that it was good; and so he divided the light from the darknesses.
5 nataon’ Añahare ty hoe Andro i hazavàñey vaho nanoe’e ty hoe Haleñe i ieñey. I haleñey vaho i antoandroy—ty andro valoha’e.
And he called the light, ‘Day,’ and the darknesses, ‘Night.’ And it became evening and morning, one day.
6 Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare: Ampiboahan-dañelañe añivo’ o ranoo hisitaha’ ty rano ami’ty rano.
God also said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide waters from waters.”
7 Aa le namboaren’ Añahare i lañelañey vaho navì’e amy rano ambone’ i lañelañey ty rano ambane’ i lañelañey. Le izay ty ie.
And God made a firmament, and he divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament. And so it became.
8 Nataon’ Añahare ty hoe like­rañe i lañelañey. I haleñey vaho i antoandroy—ty andro faharoe.
And God called the firmament ‘Heaven.’ And it became evening and morning, the second day.
9 Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare: Hatontoñe antoetse raike o rano ambane’ i likera­ñeio hiboaha’ ty tane maike. Le iizay ty ie.
Truly God said: “Let the waters that are under heaven be gathered together into one place; and let the dry land appear.” And so it became.
10 Nataon’Añahare ty hoe Tane i maikey, naho ty hoe Riake o rano nifanontoñeo, le nivazohon’Añahare te soa.
And God called the dry land, ‘Earth,’ and he called the gathering of the waters, ‘Seas.’ And God saw that it was good.
11 Aa le hoe t’i Andrianañahare: Ampitiriañ’ ahetse i taney, rongoñe mamoa voa naho hatae mamoa voa rekets’ àta’e ty amy karaza’ey. Le izay ty ie.
And he said, “Let the land spring forth green plants, both those producing seed, and fruit-bearing trees, producing fruit according to their kind, whose seed is within itself, over all the earth.” And so it became.
12 Aa le nitirian’ ahetse ty tane toy, rongoñe mamoa voa ty amy karaza’ey, vaho hatae mamoa voa rekets’ àta’e, ty amy karaza’ey. Le nivazohon’ Añahare te soa.
And the land brought forth green plants, both those producing seed, according to their kind, and trees producing fruit, with each having its own way of sowing, according to its species. And God saw that it was good.
13 I haleñey vaho i antoandroy—ty andro fahatelo.
And it became evening and the morning, the third day.
14 Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare: Ampiboaheñe failo i lañelañen-dike­rañey hañavake ty antoandro ami’ty haleñe ho vintañe naho famotoañañe naho andro vaho taoñe;
Then God said: “Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven. And let them divide day from night, and let them become signs, both of the seasons, and of the days and years.
15 ho jiro amy lañelañen-dikerañey hañilo ty tane toy. Le iizay ty ie.
Let them shine in the firmament of heaven and illuminate the earth.” And so it became.
16 Le namboa­ren’ Añahare ty jiro roe jabajaba—hifehe ty andro ty jiro bey naho hifehe ty haleñe ty jiro zai’e—vaho o vasiañeo.
And God made two great lights: a greater light, to rule over the day, and a lesser light, to rule over the night, along with the stars.
17 Aa le napon’Añahare amy lañelañen-dikera­ñey iereo hañilo ty tane toy
And he set them in the firmament of heaven, to give light over all the earth,
18 hame­he ty andro naho ty haleñe vaho hañavake i ieñey amy hazavàñey. Ni­vazohon’ Añahare te soa.
and to rule over the day as well as the night, and to divide light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 I haleñey vaho i antoandroy—ty andro fah’ efatse.
And it became evening and morning, the fourth day.
20 Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare: Ampifamorohoteñe raha veloñe hangetseke­tseke o ranoo, naho ampitiliñem-boroñe ty ambone’ tane toy an-tarehe’ i lañelañen-dindìñ’ey.
And then God said, “Let the waters produce animals with a living soul, and flying creatures above the earth, under the firmament of heaven.”
21 Le namboaren’ Añahare o fañanen-driakeo naho ze hene raha veloñe mihetseke, mifamorohotse amo ranoo, ty amy karaza’ey, naho ze hene voroñe reketse elatse ty amy karaza’ey. Le nivazohon’ Añahare te soa.
And God created the great sea creatures, and everything with a living soul and the ability to move that the waters produced, according to their species, and all the flying creatures, according to their kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 Nitatan’ Añahare iereo ami’ ty hoe: Manaranàha le mangetseketseha, atsafo o ranon-driakeo, vaho ampangorokitsiheñe voroñe ty an-tane atoy.
And he blessed them, saying: “Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea. And let the birds be multiplied above the land.”
23 I haleñey vaho i antoandroy —ty andro faha-lime.
And it became evening and morning, the fifth day.
24 Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare: Hampanaranàheñe an-tane atoy ze raha veloñe iaby ty amy karaza’ey: o hareo, naho o raha milalio naho ze hene bibi’ ty tane toy, ty amo karaza’eo. Vaho iizay ty ie.
God also said, “Let the land produce living souls in their kind: cattle, and animals, and wild beasts of the earth, according to their species.” And so it became.
25 Le namboaren’ Añahare o bibi’ ty tane toio amo karaza’eo, naho ze karazan’ añombe iaby vaho ze hene karaza-biby misitsitse an-tane atoy. Le nivazohon’ Añahare te soa.
And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their species, and the cattle, and every animal on the land, according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare: Antao hamboatse ondaty hambam-­bintañ’ aman-tikañe, hifañoronkoroñe aman-tika, hifehe o fian-driakeo naho o voron-tiokeo naho o bibio naho ty tane toy iaby vaho ze biby misitsi­tse an-tane atoy.
And he said: “Let us make Man to our image and likeness. And let him rule over the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the air, and the wild beasts, and the entire earth, and every animal that moves on the earth.”
27 Aa le namboaren’ Añahare mirai-bintañe ama’e t’indaty, hambam-bintañe aman’ Añahare ty nam­boare’e aze, lahilahy naho ampela ty ni­tsene’e iareo.
And God created man to his own image; to the image of God he created him; male and female, he created them.
28 Nitataen’ Añahare iereo, le hoe t’i Andrianañahare ama’e: Manara­nàha le mangetseke­tseha naho atsefo ty tane toy vaho feleho; le feheo o fian-driakeo naho o voron-tiokeo vaho ze biby misitsitse an-tane atoy.
And God blessed them, and he said, “Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
29 Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare, Heheke te natoloko anahareo ze hene ahetse mamoa ambone’ ty tane toy, naho ze fonga hatae mamoa rekets’ àta’e ty am-po’e ao, ho fikama’areo.
And God said: “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant upon the earth, and all the trees that have in themselves the ability to sow their own kind, to be food for you,
30 Aa ty amo hene bibi’ ty tane toio naho ze fonga voron-tioke vaho ze raha misitsi­tse an-tane atoy, ze kila raha veloñe, le nimeako ze hene ahets’antsetra ho haneñe. Le izay ty ie.
and for all the animals of the land, and for all the flying things of the air, and for everything that moves upon the earth and in which there is a living soul, so that they may have these on which to feed.” And so it became.
31 Nivazohon’ Añahare o raha namboare’e iabio le hehe te soa. I haleñey vaho i antoandroy—ty andro fah’ eneñe.
And God saw everything that he had made. And they were very good. And it became evening and morning, the sixth day.
