Genesis 1
1 Ní ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ohun gbogbo Ọlọ́run dá àwọn ọ̀run àti ayé.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 Ayé sì wà ní rúdurùdu, ó sì ṣófo, òkùnkùn sì wà lójú ibú omi, Ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run sì ń rábàbà lójú omi.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters.
3 Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí ìmọ́lẹ̀ kí ó wà,” ìmọ́lẹ̀ sì wà.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 Ọlọ́run rí i pé ìmọ́lẹ̀ náà dára, ó sì ya ìmọ́lẹ̀ náà sọ́tọ̀ kúrò lára òkùnkùn.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 Ọlọ́run sì pe ìmọ́lẹ̀ náà ní “ọ̀sán,” àti òkùnkùn ní “òru.” Àṣálẹ́ àti òwúrọ̀ sì jẹ́ ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí òfúrufú kí ó wà ní àárín àwọn omi, láti pààlà sí àárín àwọn omi.”
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 Ọlọ́run sì dá òfúrufú láti ya omi tí ó wà ní òkè òfúrufú kúrò lára omi tí ó wà ní orí ilẹ̀. Ó sì rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
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 Ọlọ́run sì pe òfúrufú ní “ọ̀run.” Àṣálẹ́ àti òwúrọ̀ sì jẹ́ ọjọ́ kejì.
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí omi abẹ́ ọ̀run wọ́ papọ̀ sí ojú kan, kí ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ sì farahàn.” Ó sì rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 Ọlọ́run sì pe ilẹ̀ gbígbẹ náà ní “ilẹ̀,” àti àpapọ̀ omi ní “òkun.” Ọlọ́run sì rí i wí pé ó dára.
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 Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí ilẹ̀ kí ó hu ọ̀gbìn: ewéko ti yóò máa mú èso wá àti igi tí yóò máa so èso ní irú tirẹ̀, tí ó ní irúgbìn nínú.” Ó sì rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth: and it was so.
12 Ilẹ̀ sì hù ọ̀gbìn: ewéko tí ó ń so èso ní irú tirẹ̀, àti igi tí ń so èso, tí ó ní irúgbìn nínú ní irú tirẹ̀. Ọlọ́run sì ri pé ó dára.
And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 Àṣálẹ́ àti òwúrọ̀ sì jẹ́ ọjọ́ kẹta.
And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí ìmọ́lẹ̀ kí ó wà ní ojú ọ̀run, láti pààlà sí àárín ọ̀sán àti òru, kí wọn ó sì máa wà fún àmì láti mọ àwọn àsìkò, àti àwọn ọjọ́ àti àwọn ọdún.
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 Kí wọn ó jẹ́ ìmọ́lẹ̀ ní ojú ọ̀run láti tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ sí orí ilẹ̀.” Ó sì rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light on the earth: and it was so.
16 Ọlọ́run dá ìmọ́lẹ̀ ńlá ńlá méjì, ìmọ́lẹ̀ tí ó tóbi láti ṣe àkóso ọ̀sán àti ìmọ́lẹ̀ tí ó kéré láti ṣe àkóso òru. Ó sì dá àwọn ìràwọ̀ pẹ̀lú.
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 Ọlọ́run sì ṣe wọ́n lọ́jọ̀ sí ojú ọ̀run láti máa tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ si orí ilẹ̀,
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light on the earth,
18 láti ṣàkóso ọ̀sán àti òru àti láti pààlà sí àárín ìmọ́lẹ̀ àti òkùnkùn. Ọlọ́run sì rí i pé ó dára.
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 Àṣálẹ́ àti òwúrọ̀ sì jẹ́ ọjọ́ kẹrin.
And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí omi kí ó kún fún àwọn ohun alààyè, kí àwọn ẹyẹ kí ó sì máa fò ní òfúrufú.”
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 Nítorí náà Ọlọ́run dá àwọn ẹ̀dá alààyè ńlá ńlá sí inú òkun, àwọn ohun ẹlẹ́mìí àti àwọn ohun tí ń rìn ní onírúurú tiwọn, àti àwọn ẹyẹ abìyẹ́ ní onírúurú tiwọn. Ọlọ́run sì rí i pé ó dára.
And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 Ọlọ́run súre fún wọn, ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ máa bí sí i, ẹ sì máa pọ̀ sí i, ẹ kún inú omi òkun, kí àwọn ẹyẹ náà sì máa pọ̀ sí i ní orí ilẹ̀.”
And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 Àṣálẹ́ àti òwúrọ̀ sì jẹ́ ọjọ́ karùn-ún.
And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Kí ilẹ̀ kí ó mú ohun alààyè jáde ní onírúurú wọn: ẹran ọ̀sìn, àwọn ohun afàyàfà àti àwọn ẹran inú igbó, ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan ní irú tirẹ̀.” Ó sì rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 Ọlọ́run sì dá ẹranko inú igbó àti ẹran ọ̀sìn gbogbo ní irú tirẹ̀ àti gbogbo ohun alààyè tí ń rìn ní ilẹ̀ ní irú tirẹ̀. Ọlọ́run sì rí i pé ó dára.
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creeps on the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 Lẹ́yìn náà ni Ọlọ́run wí pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a dá ènìyàn ní àwòrán ara wa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwa ti rí, kí wọn kí ó jẹ ọba lórí ẹja òkun, ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run, ẹran ọ̀sìn, gbogbo ilẹ̀ àti lórí ohun gbogbo tí ń rìn lórí ilẹ̀.”
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 creeps on the earth.
27 Nítorí náà, Ọlọ́run dá ènìyàn ní àwòrán ara rẹ̀, ní àwòrán Ọlọ́run ni ó dá a, akọ àti abo ni ó dá wọn.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 Ọlọ́run sì súre fún wọn, Ọlọ́run sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ máa bí sí i, kí ẹ sì máa pọ̀ sí i, kí ẹ sì gbilẹ̀, kí ẹ ṣe ìkápá ayé. Ẹ ṣe àkóso àwọn ẹja inú òkun, ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run àti gbogbo ẹ̀dá alààyè tí ó ń rìn ní orí ilẹ̀.”
And God blessed them, and God said to 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 moves on the earth.
29 Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run wí pé, “Mo fi gbogbo ohun ọ̀gbìn tí ń so èso fún un yín bí oúnjẹ àti àwọn igi eléso pẹ̀lú. Gbogbo rẹ̀ yóò jẹ́ oúnjẹ fún un yín.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is on 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 Àti fún àwọn ẹranko inú igbó àti ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run àti àwọn ohun afàyàfà, gbogbo ohun tó ní èémí ìyè nínú ni mo fi ewéko fún bí oúnjẹ.” Ó sì rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creeps on the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 Ọlọ́run sì rí àwọn ohun gbogbo tí ó dá, ó dára gidigidi. Àṣálẹ́ àti òwúrọ̀ sì jẹ́ ọjọ́ kẹfà.
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
