1 Lo ngumlando olotshiweyo ngosendo luka-Adamu. Lapho uNkulunkulu edala umuntu, wamenza ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu.
This [is] the book of the generations of Adam: In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him:
2 Wabadala, owesilisa lowesifazane wasebabusisa. Wababiza ngokuthi “Ngabantu” emva kokubadala.
Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
