UGenesisi 1
1 Ekuqaleni uNkulunkulu wadala amazulu lomhlaba.
Ahyɛaseɛ no Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ɔsoro ne asase.
2 Njalo umhlaba wawungelasimo ungelalutho, lobumnyama babuphezu kokujula; loMoya kaNkulunkulu wayendiza phezu kwamanzi.
Na asase yɛ sakasaka ne hunu. Na esum kata nsubunu no ani. Na Onyankopɔn honhom butu nsuo no ani.
3 UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Kakube khona ukukhanya; kwasekusiba khona ukukhanya.
Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ sɛ, ɛnyɛ hann! Na ɛyɛɛ hann.
4 UNkulunkulu wasebona ukukhanya ukuthi kuhle; uNkulunkulu wasesehlukanisa phakathi kokukhanya lobumnyama.
Onyankopɔn hunuu sɛ hann no yɛ enti, ɔtee hann no firii esum no ho.
5 UNkulunkulu wasebiza ukukhanya ngokuthi yimini, lobumnyama wabubiza ngokuthi yibusuku. Kwasekusiba yikuhlwa, njalo kwaba yikusa, usuku lokuqala.
Onyankopɔn frɛɛ hann no sɛ adekyeeɛ, na esum no nso sɛ adesaeɛ. Adeɛ saeɛ na adeɛ kyeeɛ, ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no no.
6 UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Kakube khona umkhathi phakathi kwamanzi; kawehlukanise phakathi kwamanzi lamanzi.
Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Nkyɛmu mmra nsuo no ntam, na ɛnkyekyɛ nsuo no mu.”
7 UNkulunkulu wasesenza umkhathi, wasesehlukanisa phakathi kwamanzi angaphansi komkhathi lamanzi aphezu komkhathi; kwasekusiba njalo.
Enti, Onyankopɔn yɛɛ nkyɛmu no de kyekyɛɛ nsuo a ɛwɔ nkyɛmu no ase firii nsuo 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 edin ewiem. Na esum duruiɛ ɛnna adeɛ kyeeɛ; yei ne ɛda a ɛtɔ so mmienu.
9 UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Kakuqoqelwe amanzi avela ngaphansi kwamazulu ndawonye, njalo kakubonakale umhlabathi owomileyo; kwasekusiba njalo.
Na Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Nsuo 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 beaeɛ kesee no edin asase. Ɛnna nsuo a ɛboaa ne ho ano no nso, ɔtoo no edin ɛpo. Onyankopɔn hunuu sɛ ɛyɛ.
11 UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Umhlaba kawumilise utshani, imibhida ethela inhlanyelo, isihlahla sesithelo sisenza isithelo ngohlobo lwaso, onhlanyelo yaso ikuso phezu komhlaba. Kwasekusiba njalo.
Afei, Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Afifideɛ mfifiri asase so; afifideɛ a ɛso aba, nnuaba ahodoɔ a ɛso aba ne deɛ, nʼaba hyehyɛ mu nyinaa mfifiri 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.
Afifideɛ a ɛso aba ne nnua fifirii asase so na nʼaba no nyini yɛɛ nnua ne afifideɛ sɛ ne sɛso. Onyankopɔn hunuu sɛ, ɛyɛ.
13 Kwasekusiba yikuhlwa, njalo kwaba yikusa, usuku lwesithathu.
Na adeɛ saeɛ ɛnna adeɛ kyeeɛ. Yei ne ɛda a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa.
14 UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Kakube khona izikhanyiso emkhathini wamazulu, ukuze zehlukanise phakathi kwemini lobusuku; njalo zibe yizibonakaliso lezikhathi ezimisiweyo, lensuku leminyaka.
Na Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Hann mmra nkyɛmu a ɛwɔ ewiem no mu mmɛpae adekyeeɛ ne adesaeɛ mu. Na ɛmmɛyɛ nnyinasoɔ mma ɛberɛ nkyekyɛmu, nna ne mfeɛ
15 Njalo zibe yizikhanyiso emkhathini wamazulu, ukuze zikhanyise emhlabeni. Kwasekusiba njalo.
na ɛmma hann mmra nkyɛmu a ɛwɔ ewiem 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 nkanea akɛseɛ mmienu a ɛyɛ owia ne ɔbosome sɛ, owia no nni adekyeeɛ so na ɔbosome no nni anadwo so. Ɔbɔɔ nsoromma nso.
17 UNkulunkulu wasezimisa emkhathini wamazulu, ukuthi zikhanyise emhlabeni,
Onyankopɔn de nkanea akɛseɛ mmienu yi sii nkyɛmu ewiem no mu sɛ, ɛnhyerɛn wɔ asase so,
18 lokuthi zibuse emini lebusuku, lokwehlukanisa phakathi kokukhanya lobumnyama. UNkulunkulu wasebona ukuthi kuhle.
na wɔnni adekyeeɛ ne adesaeɛ no so, na ɛnte hann no mfiri esum no ho. Na Onyankopɔn hunuu sɛ, ɛyɛ.
19 Kwasekusiba yikuhlwa, njalo kwaba yikusa, usuku lwesine.
Na adeɛ saeɛ, ɛnna adeɛ kyeeɛ. Ɛda a ɛtɔ so ɛnan ne no.
20 UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Amanzi kawagcwale ukunyakazela kwemiphefumulo ephilayo, njalo kakuphaphe inyoni phezu komhlaba emkhathini wamazulu.
Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Abɔdeɛ a nkwa wɔ mu nhyɛ nsuo no ma, na nnomaa ntu mfa asase ne nkyɛmu a ɛwɔ ewiem 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 ɛpo mu mmoa akɛseɛ ne mmoa ahodoɔ nyinaa a wɔwɔ nkwa na wɔkeka wɔn ho ne nnomaa ahodoɔ nyinaa. Na Onyankopɔn hunuu sɛ ɛyɛ.
22 UNkulunkulu wasekubusisa, esithi: Zalani, lande, njalo ligcwalise amanzi enlwandle, lezinyoni kazande emhlabeni.
Onyankopɔn hyiraa abɔdeɛ no nyinaa so, ɛnna ɔkaa sɛ, “Monwo na monyɛ bebree na monhyɛ ɛpo no ma, na nnomaa ase ntrɛ wɔ asase so.”
23 Kwasekusiba yikuhlwa, njalo kwaba yikusa, usuku lwesihlanu.
Na adeɛ saeɛ ɛnna adeɛ kyeeɛ. Ɛda a, ɛtɔ so enum ne no.
24 UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Umhlaba kawuveze izidalwa eziphilayo ngohlobo lwazo, izifuyo lokuhuquzelayo lenyamazana zomhlaba ngenhlobo zazo. Kwasekusiba njalo.
Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Abɔdeɛ a nkwa wɔ mu ahodoɔ nyinaa ne wɔn sɛso, anantwie ne mmoa a wɔwea wɔn afuru so ne mmoa ahodoɔ 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 ahodoɔ, anantwie ahodoɔ ne wɔn sɛso ne mmoa a, wɔwea wɔn afuru so ne wɔn sɛso. Na Onyankopɔn hunuu sɛ, ɛyɛ.
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 kaa sɛ, “Momma yɛmmɔ onipa sɛ yɛn sɛso, na ɔnni ɛpo mu mpataa, ewiem nnomaa, anantwie ne mmoa a wɔyɛ keka ne biribiara a ɛwea nʼafuru so wɔ asase 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; ɔbaa ne ɔbarima 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 sɛ, “Monwo na monyɛ asase so ma, na monni biribiara so. Monni ɛpo mu mpataa ne ewiem nnomaa ne abɔdeɛ 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 kaa sɛ, “Mede asase so afifideɛ a ɛso aba nyinaa, afifideɛ biara a aba hyɛ ne nnuaba mu wɔ asase yi so nyinaa hyɛ wo nsa. Ɛbɛyɛ wʼaduane.
30 Njalo kuyo yonke inyamazana yomhlaba, lakuyo yonke inyoni yamazulu, lakukho konke okuhuquzela emhlabeni, okukukho umoya ophilayo, lonke uhlaza ngolokudla. Kwasekusiba njalo.
Mede nhahammono nyinaa ama aboa biara a ɔwɔ asase so, anomaa biara a ɔwɔ ewiem, biribiara a ɛwea nʼafuru so, biribiara a nkwa wɔ mu wɔ asase so sɛ wɔn aduane.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
31 UNkulunkulu wasebona konke akwenzileyo; khangela-ke kwakukuhle kakhulu. Kwasekusiba yikuhlwa, njalo kwaba yikusa, usuku lwesithupha.
Onyankopɔn hwɛɛ deɛ wayɛ nyinaa hunuu sɛ ɛyɛ papa. Na adeɛ saeɛ na adeɛ kyeeɛ. Yei ne ɛda a ɛtɔ so nsia.
