Uumama 1
1 Jalqabatti Waaqni samiiwwanii fi lafa uume.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Lafti kan bifa hin qabnee fi duwwaa turte; dukkannis tuujuba irra ture; Hafuurri Waaqaas bishaan irra sosochoʼa ture.
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 Waaqnis, “Ifni haa taʼu” jedhe; ifnis ni taʼe.
God said, “Let there be light!” and there was light.
4 Waaqnis akka ifni sun gaarii taʼe arge; ifaa fi dukkanas gargar baase.
God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
5 Waaqnis ifa sanaan “Guyyaa” jedhe; dukkana sanaan immoo “Halkan” jedhee moggaase. Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa tokkoffaa.
God called the light “day,” and he called the darkness “night.” So there was evening, and then the morning, making day one.
6 Waaqnis, “Bishaanii fi bishaan gargar baasuuf bantiin bishaanota gidduu haa jiraatu” jedhe.
God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters to divide the waters.”
7 Kanaafuu Waaqni bantii tolchee bishaan bantii jalaatii fi kan bantiin olii gargar baase. Akkasumas taʼe.
So God made an expanse to divide the waters that were above from the waters that were below. And that's what happened.
8 Waaqnis bantii sana “samii” jedhee moggaase. Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa lammaffaa.
God called the expanse, “sky.” So there was evening, and then the morning, making day two.
9 Waaqnis, “Bishaan samiidhaa gad jiru iddoo tokkotti walitti haa qabamu; lafti gogaanis haa mulʼatu” jedhe. Akkasumas taʼe.
God said, “Let the waters below the sky collect together in one place so that the land may appear.” And so it was.
10 Waaqni lafa gogaa sanaan “lafa” jedhe; bishaanicha walitti qabameen immoo “galaana” jedhee moggaase. Waaqnis wanni kun akka gaarii taʼe arge.
God called the land “earth” and the waters “seas.” God saw that it was good.
11 Ammas Waaqni, “Lafti biqiltuuwwan haa baastu; biqiltuuwwan akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti sanyii baasan, mukkeen ija kennanii iji isaanii immoo sanyii of keessaa qabu adduma addaan akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti lafa irratti haa argaman” jedhe. Akkasumas taʼe.
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 Laftis biqiltuu akkuma gosa isaatti sanyii baasu, muka ija kennu, kan iji isaas sanyii of keessaa qabu adduma addaan akkuma gosa isaatti baaste. Waaqnis wanni kun akka gaarii taʼe arge.
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 Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa sadaffaa.
So there was evening, and then the morning, making day three.
14 Waaqnis akkana jedhe; “Guyyaa fi halkan gargar baasuuf bantii samii irratti ifawwan haa taʼan; isaanis mallattoowwan waqtiileen, guyyoonnii fi waggoonni ittiin beekaman haa taʼan;
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 isaanis ifawwan bantii samii irraa kan lafaaf ifa kennan haa taʼan.” Akkasumas taʼe.
They shall be lights in the sky to shine on the earth.” And that's what happened.
16 Waaqni ifa gurguddaa lama uume; kunis akka ifni guddaan guyyaa, inni xinnaan immoo halkan moʼuuf. Akkasuma urjiiwwan illee uume.
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 Waaqnis akka isaan lafaaf ifa kennaniif bantii samii irra isaan kaaʼe;
God placed these lights in the sky to shine upon the earth,
18 kunis akka isaan guyyaa fi halkan moʼanii fi akka ifa sana dukkana irraa gargar baasaniif. Waaqnis wanni kun akka gaarii taʼe arge.
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 Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa afuraffaa.
So there was evening, and then the morning, making day four.
20 Waaqnis, “Bishaan uumamawwan lubbu qabeeyyii munyuuqaniin haa guutamu; simbirroonnis lafaa olitti, bantii samii keessa haa barrisan” jedhe.
God said, “Let the waters be full of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the sky.”
21 Kanaafuu Waaqni uumamawwan galaanaa gurguddaa, lubbu qabeeyyii munyuuqan kanneen galaana keessa jiraatan hundaa fi simbirroota qoochoo qaban hunda akkuma gosa isaaniitti uume. Waaqnis wanni kun akka gaarii taʼe arge.
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 Waaqnis, “Horaa; baayʼadhaa; bishaan galaanotaas guutaa; simbirroonnis lafa irratti haa baayʼatan” jedhee isaan eebbise.
God blessed them and said, “Reproduce and increase, and fill the waters of the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.”
23 Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa shanaffaa.
So there was evening, and then the morning, making day five.
24 Waaqnis, “Lafti akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti uumamawwan lubbuu qabeeyyii jechuunis horii, uumamawwan lafa irra mumunyuuqan, bineensota akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti haa kennitu” jedhe. Akkasumas taʼe.
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 Waaqni bineensota akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti, horii akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti, uumamawwan lafa irra mumunyuuqanis akkuma gosa gosa isaaniitti uume. Waaqni wanni kun akka gaarii taʼe arge.
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 Waaqnis, “Kottaa akka bifa keenyaatti, akka fakkeenya keenyaattis nama uumnaa; isaanis qurxummii galaanaa irratti, simbirroo samii irratti, horii irratti, lafa hundumaa fi uumamawwan lafa irra munyuuqan hundumaa irratti aangoo haa qabaatan” jedhe.
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 Kanaafuu Waaqni akka bifa isaatti nama uume; akka bifa Waaqaatti isa uume; innis dhiiraa fi dubartii taasisee isaan uume.
So God created human beings in his own image. He created them in the image of God. He created them male and female.
28 Waaqnis isaan eebbisee, “Horaa, baayʼadhaas; lafa guutaatii harka keessan jalattis bulfadhaa. Qurxummii galaanaa irratti, simbirroota samii irratti, uumama lafa irra munyuuqu hunda irratti aangoo qabaadhaa” jedheen.
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 Ergasii Waaqni akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani akka isaan nyaata isinii taʼaniif biqiltuu lafa hunda irratti sanyii kennu hundaa fi muka iji isaa sanyii of keessaa qabu gosa hunda isinii kenneera.
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 Anis bineensa lafaa hundaaf, simbirroota samii hundaaf, uumama lafa irra munyuuqu hundaaf jechuunis waan hafuura jireenyaa of keessaa qabu hundaaf akka nyaata isaanii taʼuuf biqiltuu lalisaa hunda nan kenna.” Akkasumas taʼe.
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 Waaqnis waan hojjete hunda ilaale; wanni sunis dhugumaan gaarii ture. Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa jaʼaffaa.
God saw everything that he had created, and yes, it was very good. So there was evening, and then the morning, making day six.
