उत्पत्ति 1
1 आदिमा परमेश्वरले आकाशमण्डल र पृथ्वी सृष्टि गर्नुभयो ।
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 पृथ्वी निराकार र शून्य थियो । समुद्रको सतहमाथि अन्धकार थियो । परमेश्वरका आत्मा सारा समुद्रमाथि परिभ्रमण गर्दै हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the surface of the deep. The Spirit of God moved over the surface of the waters.
3 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “उज्यालो होस्,” र त्यहाँ उज्यालो भयो ।
God said, “Let there be light!” and there was light.
4 परमेश्वरले उज्यालोलाई हेर्नुभयो, र त्यो असल थियो । उहाँले उज्यालोलाई अन्धकारबाट छुट्ट्याउनुभयो ।
God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
5 परमेश्वरले उज्यालोलाई “दिन”, र अन्धकारलाई “रात” भन्नुभयो । साँझ पर्यो र बिहान भयो - पहिलो दिन ।
God called the light “day,” and he called the darkness “night.” So there was evening, and then the morning, making day one.
6 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “पानीको बिचमा एउटा क्षेत्र होस्, र त्यसले पानीलाई दुई भागमा विभाजन गरोस् ।”
God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters to divide the waters.”
7 परमेश्वरले त्यो क्षेत्र बनाएर त्यसमुनि र माथिको पानीलाई विभाजन गर्नुभयो । तब त्यस्तै भयो ।
So God made an expanse to divide the waters that were above from the waters that were below. And that's what happened.
8 परमेश्वरले त्यस क्षेत्रलाई “आकाश” भन्नुभयो । साँझ पर्यो र बिहान भयो - दोस्रो दिन ।
God called the expanse, “sky.” So there was evening, and then the morning, making day two.
9 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “आकाशमुनिको जम्मै पानी एक ठाउँमा जम्मा होस्, र ओभानो जमिन देखा परोस् ।” तब त्यस्तै भयो ।
God said, “Let the waters below the sky collect together in one place so that the land may appear.” And so it was.
10 परमेश्वरले ओभानो जमिनलाई “पृथ्वी” भन्नुभयो, र जम्मा भएको पानीलाई “समुद्र” भन्नुभयो । उहाँले हेर्नुभयो, र त्यो असल थियो ।
God called the land “earth” and the waters “seas.” 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 ।
God said, “Let the earth produce vegetation—plants that produce seeds and trees that produce seeded fruit—each one according to its own kind.” And that's what happened.
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 ।
The earth produced vegetation—plants that produce seeds and trees that produce seeded fruit—each one according to its own kind. God saw that it was good.
13 साँझ पर्यो र बिहान भयो - तेस्रो दिन ।
So there was evening, and then the morning, making day three.
14 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “दिनलाई रातबाट अलग गर्नको निम्ति आकाशमा ज्योतिहरू होऊन् र तिनीहरू ऋतुहरू, दिनहरू र वर्षहरूका निम्ति चिन्हहरू होऊन् ।
God said, “Let there be lights in the sky to separate day from night, and to provide a way to mark seasons, days, and years.
15 पृथ्वीमाथि उज्यालो दिनलाई ती आकाशमा ज्योतिहरू होऊन् ।” तब त्यस्तै भयो ।
They shall be lights in the sky to shine on the earth.” And that's what happened.
16 परमेश्वरले दुईवटा विशाल ज्योति बनाउनुभयो, ठुलो ज्योतिचाहिँ दिनमाथि प्रभुत्व गर्न, र सानोचाहिँ रातमाथि प्रभुत्व गर्न । उहाँले ताराहरू पनि बनाउनुभयो ।
God created two great lights: the larger one in charge of the day, and the smaller one in charge of the night. He created the stars too.
17 पृथ्वीमाथि उज्यालो दिन, दिन र रातमाथि प्रभुत्व गर्न, र उज्यालोलाई अन्धकारबाट अलग गर्न
God placed these lights in the sky to shine upon the earth,
18 परमेश्वरले ती आकाशमा राख्नुभयो । परमेश्वरले हेर्नुभयो, र त्यो असल थियो ।
to be in charge of the day and in charge of the night, and to separate light from darkness. God saw that it was good.
19 साँझ पर्यो र बिहान भयो - चौथो दिन ।
So there was evening, and then the morning, making day four.
20 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “पानी ठुलो सङ्ख्यामा जीवित प्राणीहरूले भरिऊन्, र पृथ्वीमाथि आकाशमा पक्षीहरू उडून् ।”
God said, “Let the waters be full of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the sky.”
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 ।
So God created huge sea creatures and all the living things that swim and fill the waters, each one according to its own kind; and every bird that flies, each one according to its own kind. 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 ।”
God blessed them and said, “Reproduce and increase, and fill the waters of the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.”
23 साँझ पर्यो र बिहान भयो - पाँचौँ दिन ।
So there was evening, and then the morning, making day five.
24 परमेश्वरले भन्नुभयो, “पृथ्वीले आ-आफ्नो प्रजातिअनुसारको जीवित प्राणीहरू, पाल्तु पशुहरू, घस्रने जन्तुहरू, र पृथ्वीका जङ्गली जनावरहरू उत्पन्न गरोस् ।” तब त्यस्तै भयो ।
God said, “Let the land produce living creatures, each one according to its own kind—the livestock, the creatures that run along the ground, and the wild animals, each one according to its own kind.” And that's what happened.
25 परमेश्वरले पृथ्वीका जङ्गली जनावरहरू, पाल्तु पशुहरू, जमिनमा घस्रने सबै जन्तुहरूलाई तिनीहरूकै आ-आफ्नै प्रजातिअनुसार बनाउनुभयो । उहाँले हेर्नुभयो, र त्यो असल थियो ।
God made the wild animals, the livestock, and the creatures that run along the ground, all according to their own kind. 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 ।”
God said, “Let us make human beings in our image who are like us. They will have authority over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over the whole of the earth and every creature that moves on it.”
27 परमेश्वरले मानिसलाई आफ्नै स्वरूपमा सृष्टि गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनलाई आफ्नै प्रतिरूपमा सृष्टि गर्नुभयो । नर र नारी गरी उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई सृष्टि गर्नुभयो ।
So God created human beings in his own image. He created them in the image of God. He created them male and female.
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 ।”
God blessed them and told them, “Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth and control it; exercise authority over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on 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 ।
God said, “Look, I'm giving you as your food every seed-bearing plant anywhere on earth, and every tree that produces fruit with seeds.
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 ।
I'm giving all the green plants to all the land animals, to the birds, and to every creature that moves on the earth—to every living thing.” And that's what happened.
31 परमेश्वरले आफूले बनाउनुभएका सबै कुरा हेर्नुभयो । त्यो ज्यादै असल थियो । साँझ पर्यो र बिहान भयो - छैटौँ दिन ।
God saw everything that he had created, and yes, it was very good. So there was evening, and then the morning, making day six.
