1 Mose 1
1 Mfiase no Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ɔsoro ne asase.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 Na asase yɛ basaa a na ɛda mpan, na sum kata bun no ani, na Onyankopɔn Honhom butuw nsu no ani.
And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 Onyankopɔn hyɛe se, “Ɛnyɛ hann,” na ɛyɛɛ hann.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 Onyankopɔn huu sɛ hann no ye, na ɔtew hann no fii sum no ho.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 Onyankopɔn frɛɛ hann no se, “adekyee,” na sum no nso se, “adesae.” Ade sae na ade kyee, da a edi kan ne no.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
6 Onyankopɔn kae se, “Nkyemu mmra nsu no ntam, na ɛnkyekyɛ nsu no mu.”
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 Enti Onyankopɔn yɛɛ nkyɛmu no, de kyekyɛɛ nsu a ɛwɔ nkyɛmu no ase fii nsu a ɛwɔ nkyɛmu no atifi no mu. Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 Onyankopɔn too atifi nkyɛmu no din wim. Na ade sae, na ade kyee; eyi ne da a ɛto so abien.
And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 Na Onyankopɔn kae se, “Nsu a ɛwɔ nkyɛmu no ase no ano mmoa wɔ faako, na asase kesee nna ne ho adi.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 Onyankopɔn too beae kesee ne din “asase.” Na nsu a ɛboaa ne ho ano no nso, ɔtoo no din “ɛpo.” Onyankopɔn hui sɛ eye.
And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 Afei Onyankopɔn kae se, “Afifide mfifi wɔ asase so; afifide a ɛsow aba, nnuaba ahorow a ɛsow aba ne nea nʼaba hyehyɛ mu nyinaa mfifi wɔ asase so.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herb yielding seed, [and] fruit tree bearing fruit after its kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 Afifide a ɛsow aba ne nnua fifii wɔ asase so na nʼaba no nyin yɛɛ nnua ne afifide sɛ ne sɛso. Onyankopɔn hui sɛ eye.
And the earth brought forth grass, herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 Na ade sae, na ade kyee. Eyi ne da a ɛto so abiɛsa.
And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
14 Na Onyankopɔn kae se, “Hann mmra nkyɛmu a ɛwɔ wim no mu, na ɛmmɛpae adekyee ne adesae mu. Na ɛmmɛyɛ nnyinaso mma bere nkyekyɛmu, nna ne mfe,
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:
15 na ɛmma hann mmra nkyɛmu a ɛwɔ wim no mu, na ahyerɛn wɔ asase so.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 Onyankopɔn yɛɛ akanea akɛse abien a ɛyɛ owia ne ɔsram sɛ, owia no nni adekyee so na ɔsram no nni anadwo so. Ɔbɔɔ nsoromma nso.
And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also.
17 Onyankopɔn de akanea akɛse abien yi sii nkyɛmu a ɛwɔ wim no mu sɛ ɛnhyerɛn wɔ asase so,
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 na wonni adekyee ne adesae no so, na ɛntew hann no mfi sum no ho. Na Onyankopɔn hui sɛ eye.
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 Na ade sae, na ade kyee. Da a ɛto so anan ne no.
And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 Onyankopɔn kae se, “Abɔde a nkwa wɔ mu nhyɛ nsu no ma, na nnomaa ntu mfa asase ne nkyɛmu a ɛwɔ wim no so.”
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and let fowl fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 Enti Onyankopɔn bɔɔ po mu mmoa akɛse ne mmoa ahorow nyinaa a wɔwɔ nkwa na wɔkeka wɔn ho ne nnomaa ahorow nyinaa. Na Onyankopɔn hui sɛ eye.
And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kinds, and every winged fowl after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 Onyankopɔn hyiraa abɔde no nyinaa so, kae se, “Monwo na monyɛ bebree na monhyɛ po no mu nsu no ma, na nnomaa ase ntrɛw wɔ asase so.”
And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 Na ade sae, na ade kyee. Da a ɛto so anum ne no.
And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 Onyankopɔn kae se, “Abɔde a nkwa wɔ mu ahorow nyinaa ne wɔn sɛso, anantwi ne mmoa a wɔwea wɔn afuru so ne mmoa ahorow a wɔyɛ keka a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa mmra asase so.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind: and it was so.
25 Onyankopɔn bɔɔ mmoa ahorow, anantwi ahorow ne wɔn sɛso ne mmoa a wɔwea wɔn afuru so ne wɔn sɛso. Na Onyankopɔn hui sɛ eye.
And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the ground after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 Onyankopɔn kae se, “Momma yɛmmɔ onipa sɛ yɛn sɛso, na onni po mu mpataa, wim nnomaa, anantwi ne mmoa a wɔyɛ keka ne biribiara a ɛwea nʼafuru so wɔ asase so no so.”
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 fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 Enti Onyankopɔn bɔɔ onipa sɛ ne sɛso; Onyankopɔn sɛso so na ɔbɔɔ wɔn; ɔbarima ne ɔbea na ɔbɔɔ wɔn.
And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 Onyankopɔn hyiraa wɔn, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monwo na monyɛ asase so ma, na munni biribiara so. Munni po mu mpataa ne wim nnomaa ne abɔde biara a nkwa wɔ mu a ɛwɔ asase so no nyinaa so.”
And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 Afei Onyankopɔn kae se, “Mede asase so afifide a ɛsow aba nyinaa, afifide biara a aba hyɛ ne nnuaba mu wɔ asase yi so nyinaa hyɛ wo nsa. Ɛbɛyɛ wʼaduan.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat:
30 Mede nhabammono nyinaa ama aboa biara a ɔwɔ asase so, anomaa biara a ɔwɔ wim, biribiara a ɛwea nʼafuru so, biribiara a nkwa wɔ mu wɔ asase so sɛ wɔn aduan.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, [I have given] every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 Onyankopɔn hwɛɛ nea wayɛ nyinaa huu sɛ ɛyɛ papa. Na ade sae, na ade kyee. Eyi ne da a ɛto so asia.
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
