UGenesisi 1
1 Ekuqaleni uNkulunkulu wadala amazulu lomhlaba.
Mfiase no Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ɔsoro ne asase.
2 Njalo umhlaba wawungelasimo ungelalutho, lobumnyama babuphezu kokujula; loMoya kaNkulunkulu wayendiza phezu kwamanzi.
Na asase yɛ basaa a na ɛda mpan, na sum kata bun no ani, na Onyankopɔn Honhom butuw nsu no ani.
3 UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Kakube khona ukukhanya; kwasekusiba khona ukukhanya.
Onyankopɔn hyɛe se, “Ɛnyɛ hann,” na ɛyɛɛ hann.
4 UNkulunkulu wasebona ukukhanya ukuthi kuhle; uNkulunkulu wasesehlukanisa phakathi kokukhanya lobumnyama.
Onyankopɔn huu sɛ hann no ye, na ɔtew hann no fii sum no ho.
5 UNkulunkulu wasebiza ukukhanya ngokuthi yimini, lobumnyama wabubiza ngokuthi yibusuku. Kwasekusiba yikuhlwa, njalo kwaba yikusa, usuku lokuqala.
Onyankopɔn frɛɛ hann no se, “adekyee,” na sum no nso se, “adesae.” Ade sae na ade kyee, da a edi kan ne no.
6 UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Kakube khona umkhathi phakathi kwamanzi; kawehlukanise phakathi kwamanzi lamanzi.
Onyankopɔn kae se, “Nkyemu mmra nsu no ntam, na ɛnkyekyɛ nsu no mu.”
7 UNkulunkulu wasesenza umkhathi, wasesehlukanisa phakathi kwamanzi angaphansi komkhathi lamanzi aphezu komkhathi; kwasekusiba njalo.
Enti Onyankopɔn yɛɛ nkyɛmu no, de kyekyɛɛ nsu a ɛwɔ nkyɛmu no ase fii nsu a ɛwɔ nkyɛmu no atifi no mu. Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
8 UNkulunkulu wasebiza umkhathi ngokuthi ngamazulu. Kwasekusiba yikuhlwa, njalo kwaba yikusa, usuku lwesibili.
Onyankopɔn too atifi nkyɛmu no din wim. Na ade sae, na ade kyee; eyi ne da a ɛto so abien.
9 UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Kakuqoqelwe amanzi avela ngaphansi kwamazulu ndawonye, njalo kakubonakale umhlabathi owomileyo; kwasekusiba njalo.
Na Onyankopɔn kae se, “Nsu a ɛwɔ nkyɛmu no ase no ano mmoa wɔ faako, na asase kesee nna ne ho adi.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
10 UNkulunkulu wasebiza umhlabathi owomileyo ngokuthi ngumhlaba, lenhlangano yamanzi wayibiza ngokuthi zinlwandle. UNkulunkulu wasebona ukuthi kuhle.
Onyankopɔn too beae kesee ne din “asase.” Na nsu a ɛboaa ne ho ano no nso, ɔtoo no din “ɛpo.” Onyankopɔn hui sɛ eye.
11 UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Umhlaba kawumilise utshani, imibhida ethela inhlanyelo, isihlahla sesithelo sisenza isithelo ngohlobo lwaso, onhlanyelo yaso ikuso phezu komhlaba. Kwasekusiba njalo.
Afei Onyankopɔn kae se, “Afifide mfifi wɔ asase so; afifide a ɛsow aba, nnuaba ahorow a ɛsow aba ne nea nʼaba hyehyɛ mu nyinaa mfifi wɔ asase so.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
12 Umhlaba wasuveza utshani, imibhida ethela inhlanyelo ngohlobo lwayo, lesihlahla sisenza isithelo, esinhlanyelo yaso ikuso ngohlobo lwaso. UNkulunkulu wasebona ukuthi kuhle.
Afifide a ɛsow aba ne nnua fifii wɔ asase so na nʼaba no nyin yɛɛ nnua ne afifide sɛ ne sɛso. Onyankopɔn hui sɛ eye.
13 Kwasekusiba yikuhlwa, njalo kwaba yikusa, usuku lwesithathu.
Na ade sae, na ade kyee. Eyi ne da a ɛto so abiɛsa.
14 UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Kakube khona izikhanyiso emkhathini wamazulu, ukuze zehlukanise phakathi kwemini lobusuku; njalo zibe yizibonakaliso lezikhathi ezimisiweyo, lensuku leminyaka.
Na Onyankopɔn kae se, “Hann mmra nkyɛmu a ɛwɔ wim no mu, na ɛmmɛpae adekyee ne adesae mu. Na ɛmmɛyɛ nnyinaso mma bere nkyekyɛmu, nna ne mfe,
15 Njalo zibe yizikhanyiso emkhathini wamazulu, ukuze zikhanyise emhlabeni. Kwasekusiba njalo.
na ɛmma hann mmra nkyɛmu a ɛwɔ wim no mu, na ahyerɛn wɔ asase so.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
16 UNkulunkulu wasesenza izikhanyiso ezimbili ezinkulu: Isikhanyiso esikhulu ukuze sibuse imini, lesikhanyiso esincinyane ukuze sibuse ubusuku, kanye lezinkanyezi.
Onyankopɔn yɛɛ akanea akɛse abien a ɛyɛ owia ne ɔsram sɛ, owia no nni adekyee so na ɔsram no nni anadwo so. Ɔbɔɔ nsoromma nso.
17 UNkulunkulu wasezimisa emkhathini wamazulu, ukuthi zikhanyise emhlabeni,
Onyankopɔn de akanea akɛse abien yi sii nkyɛmu a ɛwɔ wim no mu sɛ ɛnhyerɛn wɔ asase so,
18 lokuthi zibuse emini lebusuku, lokwehlukanisa phakathi kokukhanya lobumnyama. UNkulunkulu wasebona ukuthi kuhle.
na wonni adekyee ne adesae no so, na ɛntew hann no mfi sum no ho. Na Onyankopɔn hui sɛ eye.
19 Kwasekusiba yikuhlwa, njalo kwaba yikusa, usuku lwesine.
Na ade sae, na ade kyee. Da a ɛto so anan ne no.
20 UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Amanzi kawagcwale ukunyakazela kwemiphefumulo ephilayo, njalo kakuphaphe inyoni phezu komhlaba emkhathini wamazulu.
Onyankopɔn kae se, “Abɔde a nkwa wɔ mu nhyɛ nsu no ma, na nnomaa ntu mfa asase ne nkyɛmu a ɛwɔ wim no so.”
21 UNkulunkulu wasedala oququmadevu bolwandle abakhulu, laso sonke isidalwa esiphilayo esibhinqikayo, amanzi agcwele sona, ngohlobo lwaso, layo yonke inyoni elempiko, ngohlobo lwayo. UNkulunkulu wasebona ukuthi kuhle.
Enti Onyankopɔn bɔɔ po mu mmoa akɛse ne mmoa ahorow nyinaa a wɔwɔ nkwa na wɔkeka wɔn ho ne nnomaa ahorow nyinaa. Na Onyankopɔn hui sɛ eye.
22 UNkulunkulu wasekubusisa, esithi: Zalani, lande, njalo ligcwalise amanzi enlwandle, lezinyoni kazande emhlabeni.
Onyankopɔn hyiraa abɔde no nyinaa so, kae se, “Monwo na monyɛ bebree na monhyɛ po no mu nsu no ma, na nnomaa ase ntrɛw wɔ asase so.”
23 Kwasekusiba yikuhlwa, njalo kwaba yikusa, usuku lwesihlanu.
Na ade sae, na ade kyee. Da a ɛto so anum ne no.
24 UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Umhlaba kawuveze izidalwa eziphilayo ngohlobo lwazo, izifuyo lokuhuquzelayo lenyamazana zomhlaba ngenhlobo zazo. Kwasekusiba njalo.
Onyankopɔn kae se, “Abɔde a nkwa wɔ mu ahorow nyinaa ne wɔn sɛso, anantwi ne mmoa a wɔwea wɔn afuru so ne mmoa ahorow a wɔyɛ keka a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa mmra asase so.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
25 UNkulunkulu wasesenza izinyamazana zomhlaba ngenhlobo zazo, lezifuyo ngenhlobo zazo, lakho konke okuhuquzelayo komhlaba ngenhlobo zakho. UNkulunkulu wasebona ukuthi kuhle.
Onyankopɔn bɔɔ mmoa ahorow, anantwi ahorow ne wɔn sɛso ne mmoa a wɔwea wɔn afuru so ne wɔn sɛso. Na Onyankopɔn hui sɛ eye.
26 UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Asenze abantu ngomfanekiso wethu, ngesimo sethu, njalo babuse phezu kwenhlanzi zolwandle, laphezu kwenyoni zamazulu, laphezu kwezifuyo, laphezu komhlaba wonke, laphezu kwakho konke okuhuquzelayo lokho okuhuquzela emhlabeni.
Onyankopɔn kae se, “Momma yɛmmɔ onipa sɛ yɛn sɛso, na onni po mu mpataa, wim nnomaa, anantwi ne mmoa a wɔyɛ keka ne biribiara a ɛwea nʼafuru so wɔ asase so no so.”
27 UNkulunkulu wasemdala umuntu ngomfanekiso wakhe; wamdala ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu; owesilisa lowesifazana wabadala.
Enti Onyankopɔn bɔɔ onipa sɛ ne sɛso; Onyankopɔn sɛso so na ɔbɔɔ wɔn; ɔbarima ne ɔbea na ɔbɔɔ wɔn.
28 UNkulunkulu wasebabusisa, uNkulunkulu wasesithi kibo: Zalani lande, ligcwalise umhlaba njalo liwehlisele phansi; libuse phezu kwenhlanzi zolwandle, laphezu kwenyoni zamazulu, laphezu kwakho konke okuphilayo okuhuquzela emhlabeni.
Onyankopɔn hyiraa wɔn, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monwo na monyɛ asase so ma, na munni biribiara so. Munni po mu mpataa ne wim nnomaa ne abɔde biara a nkwa wɔ mu a ɛwɔ asase so no nyinaa so.”
29 UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Khangelani, ngilinike yonke imibhida ethela inhlanyelo, esebusweni bomhlaba wonke, laso sonke isihlahla, okukuso isithelo sesihlahla esithela inhlanyelo; kini singesokudla.
Afei Onyankopɔn kae se, “Mede asase so afifide a ɛsow aba nyinaa, afifide biara a aba hyɛ ne nnuaba mu wɔ asase yi so nyinaa hyɛ wo nsa. Ɛbɛyɛ wʼaduan.
30 Njalo kuyo yonke inyamazana yomhlaba, lakuyo yonke inyoni yamazulu, lakukho konke okuhuquzela emhlabeni, okukukho umoya ophilayo, lonke uhlaza ngolokudla. Kwasekusiba njalo.
Mede nhabammono nyinaa ama aboa biara a ɔwɔ asase so, anomaa biara a ɔwɔ wim, biribiara a ɛwea nʼafuru so, biribiara a nkwa wɔ mu wɔ asase so sɛ wɔn aduan.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
31 UNkulunkulu wasebona konke akwenzileyo; khangela-ke kwakukuhle kakhulu. Kwasekusiba yikuhlwa, njalo kwaba yikusa, usuku lwesithupha.
Onyankopɔn hwɛɛ nea wayɛ nyinaa huu sɛ ɛyɛ papa. Na ade sae, na ade kyee. Eyi ne da a ɛto so asia.
