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.
Now, the earth, had become waste and wild, and darkness, was on the face of the roaring deep, —but, the Spirit of God, was brooding on the face of the waters,
3 Waaqnis, “Ifni haa taʼu” jedhe; ifnis ni taʼe.
And God said—Light, be, And light was.
4 Waaqnis akka ifni sun gaarii taʼe arge; ifaa fi dukkanas gargar baase.
And God saw the light, that it was, good, and God divided the light, from the, darkness;
5 Waaqnis ifa sanaan “Guyyaa” jedhe; dukkana sanaan immoo “Halkan” jedhee moggaase. Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa tokkoffaa.
and God called the light, day, but the darkness, called he, night. So it was evening—and it was morning, one day.
6 Waaqnis, “Bishaanii fi bishaan gargar baasuuf bantiin bishaanota gidduu haa jiraatu” jedhe.
And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a means of dividing, between waters and waters,
7 Kanaafuu Waaqni bantii tolchee bishaan bantii jalaatii fi kan bantiin olii gargar baase. Akkasumas taʼe.
And God made the expanse, and it divided between the waters that were under the expanse and the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so.
8 Waaqnis bantii sana “samii” jedhee moggaase. Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa lammaffaa.
And God called the expanse, heavens. So it was evening—and it was morning, a, second day.
9 Waaqnis, “Bishaan samiidhaa gad jiru iddoo tokkotti walitti haa qabamu; lafti gogaanis haa mulʼatu” jedhe. Akkasumas taʼe.
And God said—Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together, into one place, and let the dry—ground appear. And it was so.
10 Waaqni lafa gogaa sanaan “lafa” jedhe; bishaanicha walitti qabameen immoo “galaana” jedhee moggaase. Waaqnis wanni kun akka gaarii taʼe arge.
And God called, the dry-ground, land, but the gathering together of the waters, called he seas. And 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.
And God said—Let the land put-forth vegetation—herb yielding seed, fruit-tree, bearing fruit after its kind, whose seed is within it on the land. And it was so,
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.
And the land brought-forth vegetation—herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, whose seed is within it, after its kind, And God saw that it was good.
13 Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa sadaffaa.
So it was evening—and it was morning, a third day.
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;
And God said—Let there be luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night, —and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;
15 isaanis ifawwan bantii samii irraa kan lafaaf ifa kennan haa taʼan.” Akkasumas taʼe.
yea let them be for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so.
16 Waaqni ifa gurguddaa lama uume; kunis akka ifni guddaan guyyaa, inni xinnaan immoo halkan moʼuuf. Akkasuma urjiiwwan illee uume.
And God made the two great luminaries, —the greater luminary to rule the day, and the lesser luminary to rule the night, also the stars.
17 Waaqnis akka isaan lafaaf ifa kennaniif bantii samii irra isaan kaaʼe;
And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, —to give light on 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.
and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa afuraffaa.
So it was evening—and it was morning, a fourth day.
20 Waaqnis, “Bishaan uumamawwan lubbu qabeeyyii munyuuqaniin haa guutamu; simbirroonnis lafaa olitti, bantii samii keessa haa barrisan” jedhe.
And God said—Let the waters swarm with an abundance of living soul, and, birds, shall fly over the earth, over the face of the expanse of the heavens.
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.
And God created the great sea-monsters, —and every living soul that moveth—[with] which the waters swarmed after their kind and every winged bird—after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 Waaqnis, “Horaa; baayʼadhaa; bishaan galaanotaas guutaa; simbirroonnis lafa irratti haa baayʼatan” jedhee isaan eebbise.
And God blessed them, saying, —Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let, the birds, multiply in the land.
23 Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa shanaffaa.
So it was evening—and it was morning, a fifth day.
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.
And God said—Let the land, bring forth, living soul, after its kind, tame-beast and creeping thing and wild-beast, of the land, after its kind. And it was so.
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.
And God made the wild-beast of the land after its kind, and the tame-beast after its kind, and every creeping thing of the ground, after its kind. And 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.
And God said—Let us make man in our image after our likeness—and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the bird of the heavens and over the tame-beast—and over all the land, and over every creeping thing, that creepeth on the land.
27 Kanaafuu Waaqni akka bifa isaatti nama uume; akka bifa Waaqaatti isa uume; innis dhiiraa fi dubartii taasisee isaan uume.
And God created the man in his own image, In the image of God, created he him, —Male and female, created he, them.
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.
And God blessed them, and God said to them Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, —and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth on the land.
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.
And God said—Lo! I have given to you—every herb yielding seed which is on the face of all the land, and every tree wherein is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, —to you, shall it be, for food;
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.
and to every living thing of the land—and to every bird of the heavens, and to every thing that moveth on the land, wherein is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it was so.
31 Waaqnis waan hojjete hunda ilaale; wanni sunis dhugumaan gaarii ture. Galgalas taʼe; ganamas taʼe; guyyaa jaʼaffaa.
And God saw every thing which he had made, and lo! it was very good. So it was evening—and it was morning, the sixth day.
