Mwanzo 1
1 Hapo mwanzo Mungu aliumba mbingu na nchi.
In the begynnynge God created heaven and erth.
2 Nayo nchi haikuwa na umbo na ilikuwa tupu. Giza lilikuwa juu ya uso wa vilindi vya maji. Roho wa Mungu alikuwa akielea juu ya uso wa maji.
The erth was voyde and emptie ad darcknesse was vpon the depe and the spirite of god moved vpon the water
3 Mungu akasema, “na kuwe nuru,” na kulikuwa na nuru.
Than God sayd: let there be lyghte and there was lyghte.
4 Mungu akaona nuru kuwa ni njema. Akaigawa nuru na giza.
And God sawe the lyghte that it was good: and devyded the lyghte from the darcknesse
5 Mungu akaiita nuru “mchana” na giza akaliita “usiku.” Ikawa jioni na asubuhi, siku ya kwanza.
and called the lyghte daye and the darcknesse nyghte: and so of the evenynge and mornynge was made the fyrst daye
6 Mungu akasema, “na kuwe na anga kati ya maji, na ligawe maji na maji.”
And God sayd: let there be a fyrmament betwene the waters ad let it devyde the waters a sonder.
7 Mungu akafanya anga na kugawanya maji yaliyo kuwa chini ya anga na maji ambayo yalikuwa juu ya anga. Ikawa hivyo.
Than God made the fyrmament and parted the waters which were vnder the fyrmament from the waters that were above the fyrmament: And it was so.
8 Mungu akaita anga “mbingu.” Ikawa jioni na asubuhi siku ya pili.
And God called the fyrmament heaven And so of the evenynge and morninge was made the seconde daye
9 Mungu akasema, “maji yaliyo chini ya mbingu yakusanyike pamoja mahali pamoja, na ardhi kavu ionekane.” Ikawa hivyo.
And God sayd let the waters that are vnder heaven gather them selves vnto one place that the drye londe may appere: And it came so to passe.
10 Mungu aliita ardhi kavu “nchi,” na maji yaliyo kusanyika akayaita “bahari.” Akaona kuwa ni vyema.
And god called the drye lande the erth and the gatheringe togyther of waters called he the see. And God sawe that it was good
11 Mungu akasema, nchi ichipushe mimea: miche itoayo mbegu na miti ya matunda itoayo matunda ambayo mbegu yake imo ndani ya tunda, kila kitu kwa namna yake.” Ikawa hivyo.
And God sayd: let the erth bringe forth herbe and grasse that sowe seed and frutefull trees that bere frute every one in his kynde havynge their seed in them selves vpon the erth. And it came so to passe:
12 Nchi ikatoa mimea, miche itoayo mbegu ya aina yake, na miti itoayo tunda ambalo mbegu yake imo ndani yake, kwa aina yake. Mungu akaona kuwa ni vyema.
ad the erth brought forth herbe and grasse sowenge seed every one in his kynde and trees berynge frute and havynge their seed in the selves every one in his kynde. And God sawe that it was good:
13 Ikawa jioni na asubuhi, siku ya tatu.
and the of the evenynge and mornynge was made the thyrde daye.
14 Mungu akasema, “kuwe na mianga katika anga kutenganisha mchana na usiku. Na ziwe kama ishara, kwa majira, kwa siku na miaka.
Than sayd God: let there be lyghtes in ye firmament of heaven to devyde the daye fro the nyghte that they may be vnto sygnes seasons days and yeares.
15 Ziwe mianga katika anga ili kutoa mwanga juu ya nchi.” Ikawa hivyo.
And let them be lyghtes in the fyrmament of heave to shyne vpon the erth. and so it was.
16 Mungu akafanya mianga mikuu miwili, mwanga mkuu zaidi kutawala mchana, na mwanga mdogo kutawala usiku. Akafanya nyota pia.
And God made two great lyghtes A greater lyghte to rule the daye and a lesse lyghte to rule the nyghte and he made sterres also.
17 Mungu akazipanga katika anga kutoa mwanga juu nchi,
And God put them in the fyrmament of heaven to shyne vpon the erth
18 kutawala mchana na usiku, na kugawanya mwanga kutoka kwenye giza. Mungu akaona kuwa ni vyema.
and to rule the daye and the nyghte ad to devyde the lyghte from darcknesse. And god sawe yt it was good:
19 Ikawa jioni na asubuhi, siku ya nne.
and so of the evenynge ad mornynge was made the fourth daye.
20 Mungu akasema, “maji yajae idadi kubwa ya viumbe hai, na ndege waruke juu ya nchi katika anga la mbingu.”
And God sayd let the water bryng forth creatures that move and have lyfe and foules for to flee over the erth vnder the fyrmament of heaven.
21 Mungu akaumba viumbe wakubwa wa baharini, pamoja na kila kiumbe hai cha aina yake, viumbe waendao na wanaojaa kila mahali majini, na kila ndege mwenye mabawa kwa aina yake. Mungu akaona kuwa ni vyema.
And God created greate whalles and all maner of creatures that lyve and moue which the waters brought forth in their kindes ad all maner of federed foules in their kyndes. And God sawe that it was good:
22 Mungu akavibariki, akisema, “zaeni na muongezeke, na mjae majini katika bahari. Ndege waongezeke juu nchi.”
and God blessed them saynge. Growe and multiplye ad fyll the waters of the sees and let the foules multiplye vpo the erth.
23 Ikawa jioni na asubuhi, siku ya tano.
And so of the evenynge and morninge was made the fyfth daye.
24 Mungu akasema, “nchi na itoe viumbe hai, kila kiumbe kwa aina yake, mnyama wa kufugwa, vitu vitambaavyo, na wanyama wa nchi, kila kitu kwa jinsi yake.” Ikawa hivyo.
And God sayd: leth the erth bring forth lyvynge creatures in thir kyndes: catell and wormes and beastes of the erth in their kyndes and so it came to passe.
25 Mungu akafanya wanyama wa nchi kwa aina yake, wanyama wa kufugwa kwa aina yake, na kila kitambaaho juu ya ardhi kwa aina yake. Akaona kuwani vyema.
And god made the beastes of the erth in their kyndes and catell in their kyndes ad all maner wormes of the erth in their kyndes: and God sawe that it was good.
26 Mung akasema, “na tumfanye mtu katika mfano wetu, wa kufanana na sisi. Wawe na mamlaka juu ya samaki wa bahari, juu ya ndege wa angani, juu ya wanyama wa kufuga, juu ya nchi yote, na juu ya kila kitu kitambaacho kinacho tambaa juu ya nchi.”
And God sayd: let vs make man in oure symilitude ad after oure lycknesse: that he may have rule over the fysh of the see and over the foules of the ayre and over catell and over all the erth and over all wormes that crepe on the erth.
27 Mungu akamuumba mtu kwa mfano wake. Katika mfano wake alimuumba. Mwanaume na mwanamke aliwaumba.
And God created man after hys lycknesse after the lycknesse of god created he him: male and female created he them.
28 Mungu akawabariki na akawaambia, “zaeni na kuongezeka. Jazeni nchi, na muitawale. Muwe na mamlaka juu ya samaki wa baharini, juu ya ndege wa angani, na juu ya kila kiumbe hai kiendacho juu ya nchi,”
And God blessed them and God sayd vnto them. Growe and multiplye and fyll the erth and subdue it and have domynyon over the fysh of the see and over the foules of the ayre and over all the beastes that move on the erth.
29 Mungu akasema, “tazama, nimewapeni kila mmea uzaao mbegu ambao uko juu ya nchi, na kila mti wenye tunda ambalo lina mbegu ndani yake. Vitakuwa ni chakula kwenu.
And God sayd: se I have geven yow all herbes that sowe seed which are on all the erth and all maner trees that haue frute in them and sowe seed: to be meate for yow
30 Kwa kila mnyama wa nchi, kwa kila ndege wa angani, na kila kitambaacho juu ya nchi, na kila kiumbe ambacho kina pumzi ya uhai ni metoa kila mmea kwa ajili ya chakula.” ikawa hivyo.
and for all beastes of the erth and vnto all foules of the ayre and vnto all that crepeth on the erth where in is lyfe that they may haue all maner herbes and grasse for to eate and even so it was.
31 Mungu akaona kila kitu alichokiumba. Tazama, kikawa chema sana. Ikawa jioni na asubuhi siku ya sita.
And God behelde al that he had made ad loo they were exceadynge good: and so of the evenynge and mornynge was made the syxth daye
