Genesis 1
1 Ní ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ohun gbogbo Ọlọ́run dá àwọn ọ̀run àti ayé.
In the beginning God made 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.
But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved over the water.
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 between the light and 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 there was evening and there was morning, 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 midst of the water, and let it be a division between water and water, and it was so.
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 God divided between the water which was under the firmament and the water which was above the firmament.
8 Ọlọ́run sì pe òfúrufú ní “ọ̀run.” Àṣálẹ́ àti òwúrọ̀ sì jẹ́ ọjọ́ kejì.
And God called the firmament Heaven, and God saw that it was good, and there was evening and there was morning, 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 water which is under the heaven be collected into one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And the water which was under the heaven was collected into its places, and the dry land appeared.
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 gatherings of the waters he called 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 the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit-tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind 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 the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and God saw that it was good.
13 Àṣálẹ́ àti òwúrọ̀ sì jẹ́ ọjọ́ kẹta.
And there was evening and there was morning, 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 give light upon the earth, to divide between day and night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and for 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 light in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon 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 the two great lights, the greater light for regulating the day and the lesser light for regulating the night, the stars also.
17 Ọlọ́run sì ṣe wọ́n lọ́jọ̀ sí ojú ọ̀run láti máa tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ si orí ilẹ̀,
And God placed them in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth,

And God said, Let the waters bring forth reptiles having life, and winged creatures flying above the earth in the firmament of heaven, and it was so.
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 made great whales, and every living reptile, which the waters brought forth according to their kinds, and every creature that flies with wings according to its kind, and God saw that they were good.

And there was evening and there was morning, 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 according to its kind, quadrupeds and reptiles and wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and it was so.

And God made man, according to the image of God he made him, male and female he made them.
