उत्पत्ति 1
1 आदिमा परमेश्वरले आकाशमण्डल र पृथ्वी सृष्टि गर्नुभयो ।
In the beginning, God created heaven and earth.
2 पृथ्वी निराकार र शून्य थियो । समुद्रको सतहमाथि अन्धकार थियो । परमेश्वरका आत्मा सारा समुद्रमाथि परिभ्रमण गर्दै हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
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 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “उज्यालो होस्,” र त्यहाँ उज्यालो भयो ।
And God said, “Let there be light.” And light became.
4 परमेश्वरले उज्यालोलाई हेर्नुभयो, र त्यो असल थियो । उहाँले उज्यालोलाई अन्धकारबाट छुट्ट्याउनुभयो ।
And God saw the light, that it was good; and so he divided the light from the darknesses.
5 परमेश्वरले उज्यालोलाई “दिन”, र अन्धकारलाई “रात” भन्नुभयो । साँझ पर्यो र बिहान भयो - पहिलो दिन ।
And he called the light, ‘Day,’ and the darknesses, ‘Night.’ And it became evening and morning, one day.
6 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “पानीको बिचमा एउटा क्षेत्र होस्, र त्यसले पानीलाई दुई भागमा विभाजन गरोस् ।”
God also said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide waters from waters.”
7 परमेश्वरले त्यो क्षेत्र बनाएर त्यसमुनि र माथिको पानीलाई विभाजन गर्नुभयो । तब त्यस्तै भयो ।
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 परमेश्वरले त्यस क्षेत्रलाई “आकाश” भन्नुभयो । साँझ पर्यो र बिहान भयो - दोस्रो दिन ।
And God called the firmament ‘Heaven.’ And it became evening and morning, the second day.
9 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “आकाशमुनिको जम्मै पानी एक ठाउँमा जम्मा होस्, र ओभानो जमिन देखा परोस् ।” तब त्यस्तै भयो ।
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 परमेश्वरले ओभानो जमिनलाई “पृथ्वी” भन्नुभयो, र जम्मा भएको पानीलाई “समुद्र” भन्नुभयो । उहाँले हेर्नुभयो, र त्यो असल थियो ।
And God called the dry land, ‘Earth,’ and he called the gathering of the waters, ‘Seas.’ And God saw that it was good.
11 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “पृथ्वीले आ-आफ्नो प्रजातिअनुसारको वनस्पति, बिउ हुने बोट-बिरुवाहरू र फलभित्रै बिउ हुने फल-फलाउने रुखहरू उमारोस् ।” तब त्यस्तै भयो ।
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 पृथ्वीले वनस्पति, आ-आफ्नो प्रजातिअनुसारका बिउ हुने बोट-बिरुवाहरू र आफ्नै फलभित्र बिउ हुने फल-फलाउने रुखहरू उमार्यो । परमेश्वरले हेर्नुभयो, र त्यो असल थियो ।
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 साँझ पर्यो र बिहान भयो - तेस्रो दिन ।
And it became evening and the morning, the third day.
14 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “दिनलाई रातबाट अलग गर्नको निम्ति आकाशमा ज्योतिहरू होऊन् र तिनीहरू ऋतुहरू, दिनहरू र वर्षहरूका निम्ति चिन्हहरू होऊन् ।
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 पृथ्वीमाथि उज्यालो दिनलाई ती आकाशमा ज्योतिहरू होऊन् ।” तब त्यस्तै भयो ।
Let them shine in the firmament of heaven and illuminate the earth.” And so it became.
16 परमेश्वरले दुईवटा विशाल ज्योति बनाउनुभयो, ठुलो ज्योतिचाहिँ दिनमाथि प्रभुत्व गर्न, र सानोचाहिँ रातमाथि प्रभुत्व गर्न । उहाँले ताराहरू पनि बनाउनुभयो ।
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 पृथ्वीमाथि उज्यालो दिन, दिन र रातमाथि प्रभुत्व गर्न, र उज्यालोलाई अन्धकारबाट अलग गर्न
And he set them in the firmament of heaven, to give light over all the earth,
18 परमेश्वरले ती आकाशमा राख्नुभयो । परमेश्वरले हेर्नुभयो, र त्यो असल थियो ।
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 साँझ पर्यो र बिहान भयो - चौथो दिन ।
And it became evening and morning, the fourth day.
20 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “पानी ठुलो सङ्ख्यामा जीवित प्राणीहरूले भरिऊन्, र पृथ्वीमाथि आकाशमा पक्षीहरू उडून् ।”
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 परमेश्वरले विशाल जलचरहरू, र आ-आफ्नो प्रजातिअनुसारको सबै जीवित प्राणी, चलहल गर्ने र पुरै पानीलाई भर्ने प्राणीहरू, र आ-आफ्नो प्रजातिअनुसारको पखेटा भएका सबै पक्षीहरूलाई सृष्टि गर्नुभयो । परमेश्वरले हेर्नुभयो, र त्यो असल थियो ।
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 परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई यसो भनेर आशिष् दिनुभयो, “फल्दै-फुल्दै र वृद्धि हुँदै जाओ, र समुद्रमा भरिँदै जाओ । पृथ्वीमा पक्षीहरू वृद्धि होऊन् ।”
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 साँझ पर्यो र बिहान भयो - पाँचौँ दिन ।
And it became evening and morning, the fifth day.
24 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “पृथ्वीले आ-आफ्नो प्रजातिअनुसारको जीवित प्राणीहरू, पाल्तु पशुहरू, घस्रने जन्तुहरू, र पृथ्वीका जङ्गली जनावरहरू उत्पन्न गरोस् ।” तब त्यस्तै भयो ।
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 परमेश्वरले पृथ्वीका जङ्गली जनावरहरू, पाल्तु पशुहरू, जमिनमा घस्रने सबै जन्तुहरूलाई तिनीहरूकै आ-आफ्नै प्रजातिअनुसार बनाउनुभयो । उहाँले हेर्नुभयो, र त्यो असल थियो ।
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 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “मानिसलाई हाम्रो स्वरूपमा, हाम्रो प्रतिरूपमा बनाऔँ । तिनीहरूले समुद्रका माछाहरू, आकाशका पक्षीहरू, पाल्तु पशुहरू, सारा पृथ्वी, र पृथ्वीमा घस्रने सबै जन्तुहरूमाथि अधिकार गरून् ।”
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 परमेश्वरले मानिसलाई आफ्नै स्वरूपमा सृष्टि गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनलाई आफ्नै प्रतिरूपमा सृष्टि गर्नुभयो । नर र नारी गरी उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई सृष्टि गर्नुभयो ।
And God created man to his own image; to the image of God he created him; male and female, he created them.
28 परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई आशिष्् दिनुभयो र भन्नुभयो, “फल्दै-फुल्दै र वृद्धि हुँदै जाओ । पृथ्वीमा भरिँदै जाओ, र त्यसलाई आफ्नो वशमा राख । समुद्रका माछाहरू, आकाशका पक्षीहरू, र पृथ्वीमा चलहल गर्ने सबै जीवित प्राणीहरूमाथि अधिकार गर ।”
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 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “हेर, मैले पृथ्वीका बिउ हुने हरेक बोट-बिरुवाहरू, र फलभित्रै बिउ हुने हरेक फल-फलाउने रुखहरू तिमीहरूलाई दिएको छु । ती तिमीहरूका निम्ति आहारा हुनेछन् ।
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 पृथ्वीका हरेक जङ्गली जनवारहरू, आकाशका हरेक पक्षीहरू, र सबै घस्रने जन्तुहरू, र जीवन भएका हरेक प्राणीलाई मैले आहाराको निम्ति सबै हरिया बोट-बिरुवाहरू दिएको छु ।” तब त्यस्तै भयो ।
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 परमेश्वरले आफूले बनाउनुभएका सबै कुरा हेर्नुभयो । त्यो ज्यादै असल थियो । साँझ पर्यो र बिहान भयो - छैटौँ दिन ।
And God saw everything that he had made. And they were very good. And it became evening and morning, the sixth day.
