1 Mose 1
1 Ahyɛaseɛ no Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ɔsoro ne asase.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 Na asase yɛ sakasaka ne hunu. Na esum kata nsubunu no ani. Na Onyankopɔn honhom butu nsuo no ani.
And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God was waving over the face of the waters.
3 Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ sɛ, ɛnyɛ hann! Na ɛyɛɛ hann.
And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.
4 Onyankopɔn hunuu sɛ hann no yɛ enti, ɔtee hann no firii esum no ho.
And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided between the light and the darkness.
5 Onyankopɔn frɛɛ hann no sɛ adekyeeɛ, na esum no nso sɛ adesaeɛ. Adeɛ saeɛ na adeɛ kyeeɛ, ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no no.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And it was evening and it was morning, the first day.
6 Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Nkyɛmu mmra nsuo no ntam, na ɛnkyekyɛ nsuo no mu.”
And God said, Let there be an expansion in the midst of the waters, and let it divide between waters and waters.
7 Enti, Onyankopɔn yɛɛ nkyɛmu no de kyekyɛɛ nsuo a ɛwɔ nkyɛmu no ase firii nsuo a ɛwɔ nkyɛmu no atifi no mu. Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
And God made the expansion, and divided between the waters which were under the expansion and the waters which were above the expansion: and it was so.
8 Onyankopɔn too atifi nkyɛmu no edin ewiem. Na esum duruiɛ ɛnna adeɛ kyeeɛ; yei ne ɛda a ɛtɔ so mmienu.
And God called the expansion Heaven. And it was evening and it was morning, the second day.
9 Na Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Nsuo 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 be visible: and it was so.
10 Onyankopɔn too beaeɛ kesee no edin asase. Ɛnna nsuo a ɛboaa ne ho ano no nso, ɔtoo no edin ɛpo. Onyankopɔn hunuu sɛ ɛyɛ.
And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 Afei, Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Afifideɛ mfifiri asase so; afifideɛ a ɛso aba, nnuaba ahodoɔ a ɛso aba ne deɛ, nʼaba hyehyɛ mu nyinaa mfifiri asase so.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, herbs yielding seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, in which its seed is upon the earth: and it was so.
12 Afifideɛ a ɛso aba ne nnua fifirii asase so na nʼaba no nyini yɛɛ nnua ne afifideɛ sɛ ne sɛso. Onyankopɔn hunuu sɛ, ɛyɛ.
And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees yielding fruit, in which its seed is after their kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 Na adeɛ saeɛ ɛnna adeɛ kyeeɛ. Yei ne ɛda a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa.
And it was evening and it was morning, the third day.
14 Na Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Hann mmra nkyɛmu a ɛwɔ ewiem no mu mmɛpae adekyeeɛ ne adesaeɛ mu. Na ɛmmɛyɛ nnyinasoɔ mma ɛberɛ nkyekyɛmu, nna ne mfeɛ
And God said, Let there be lights in the expansion of the heaven to divide between the day and the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years;
15 na ɛmma hann mmra nkyɛmu a ɛwɔ ewiem no mu, na ahyerɛn wɔ asase so.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
And let them be for lights in the expansion of the heaven, to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 Onyankopɔn yɛɛ nkanea akɛseɛ mmienu a ɛyɛ owia ne ɔbosome sɛ, owia no nni adekyeeɛ so na ɔbosome 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; and the stars.
17 Onyankopɔn de nkanea akɛseɛ mmienu yi sii nkyɛmu ewiem no mu sɛ, ɛnhyerɛn wɔ asase so,
And God set them in the expansion of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 na wɔnni adekyeeɛ ne adesaeɛ no so, na ɛnte hann no mfiri esum no ho. Na Onyankopɔn hunuu sɛ, ɛyɛ.
And to rule by day and by night, and to divide between the light and the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 Na adeɛ saeɛ, ɛnna adeɛ kyeeɛ. Ɛda a ɛtɔ so ɛnan ne no.
And it was evening and it was morning, the fourth day.
20 Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Abɔdeɛ a nkwa wɔ mu nhyɛ nsuo no ma, na nnomaa ntu mfa asase ne nkyɛmu a ɛwɔ ewiem no so.”
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly moving creatures that have life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open expansion of the heaven.
21 Enti, Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ɛpo mu mmoa akɛseɛ ne mmoa ahodoɔ nyinaa a wɔwɔ nkwa na wɔkeka wɔn ho ne nnomaa ahodoɔ nyinaa. Na Onyankopɔn hunuu sɛ ɛyɛ.
And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 Onyankopɔn hyiraa abɔdeɛ no nyinaa so, ɛnna ɔkaa sɛ, “Monwo na monyɛ bebree na monhyɛ ɛpo no ma, na nnomaa ase ntrɛ wɔ asase so.”
And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the fowl multiply on the earth.
23 Na adeɛ saeɛ ɛnna adeɛ kyeeɛ. Ɛda a, ɛtɔ so enum ne no.
And it was evening and it was morning, the fifth day.
24 Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Abɔdeɛ a nkwa wɔ mu ahodoɔ nyinaa ne wɔn sɛso, anantwie ne mmoa a wɔwea wɔn afuru so ne mmoa ahodoɔ a wɔyɛ keka a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa mmra asase so.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind: and it was so.
25 Onyankopɔn bɔɔ mmoa ahodoɔ, anantwie ahodoɔ ne wɔn sɛso ne mmoa a, wɔwea wɔn afuru so ne wɔn sɛso. Na Onyankopɔn hunuu sɛ, ɛyɛ.
And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Momma yɛmmɔ onipa sɛ yɛn sɛso, na ɔnni ɛpo mu mpataa, ewiem nnomaa, anantwie ne mmoa a wɔyɛ keka ne biribiara a ɛwea nʼafuru so wɔ asase so.”
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and they shall have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, 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; ɔbaa ne ɔbarima na ɔbɔɔ wɔn.
And God created man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 Onyankopɔn hyiraa wɔn, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monwo na monyɛ asase so ma, na monni biribiara so. Monni ɛpo mu mpataa ne ewiem nnomaa ne abɔdeɛ 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 fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 Afei, Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Mede asase so afifideɛ a ɛso aba nyinaa, afifideɛ biara a aba hyɛ ne nnuaba mu wɔ asase yi so nyinaa hyɛ wo nsa. Ɛbɛyɛ wʼaduane.
And God said, Behold I have given unto you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree on which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food.
30 Mede nhahammono nyinaa ama aboa biara a ɔwɔ asase so, anomaa biara a ɔwɔ ewiem, biribiara a ɛwea nʼafuru so, biribiara a nkwa wɔ mu wɔ asase so sɛ wɔn aduane.” Na ɛyɛɛ saa.
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heaven, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, [I have given] every green herb for food: and it was so.
31 Onyankopɔn hwɛɛ deɛ wayɛ nyinaa hunuu sɛ ɛyɛ papa. Na adeɛ saeɛ na adeɛ kyeeɛ. Yei ne ɛda a ɛtɔ so nsia.
And God saw every thing that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And it was evening and it was morning, the sixth day.
