Genesis 1

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Nan konmansman, Bondye kreye syèl la ak latè a.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Men latè pa t' gen fòm, li pa t' gen anyen sou li. Fènwa te kouvri toupatou. Lespri Bondye t'ap plane sou dlo ki te kouvri tout latè.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Bondye di. Se pou limyè fèt. Epi limyè te fèt.

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

Bondye wè limyè a te bon. Bondye mete limyè a yon bò, li mete fènwa a yon lòt bò.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Bondye rele limyè a lajounen, li rele fènwa a lannwit. Yon lannwit pase, yon maten rive. Se te premye jou a.

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

Bondye di ankò. Se pou gen yon vout nan mitan dlo a pou separe dlo a an de.

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.

Bondye fè vout la separe dlo a an de, yon pati anwo vout la, yon lòt pati anba l'. Se konsa sa te pase.

And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

Bondye rele vout la syèl. Yon lannwit pase, yon maten rive. Se te dezyèm jou a.

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.

Bondye di ankò. Se pou dlo ki anba syèl la sanble yon sèl kote pou kote ki sèk la ka parèt. Se konsa sa te pase.

And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

Bondye rele kote ki sèk la tè. Li rele pil dlo a lanmè. Bondye gade sa l' te fè a, li wè l' bon.

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, upon the earth: and it was so.

Bondye di. Se pou tè a pouse tout kalite plant: zèb, plant ki bay grenn, pyebwa ki bay fwi ak tout grenn yo. Se konsa sa te pase.

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.

Tè a pouse tout kalite plant: zèb, plant ki bay grenn, pyebwa ki bay fwi ak tout grenn yo. Bondye gade sa l' te fè a, li wè l' bon.

And the evening and the morning were the third day.

Yon lannwit pase, yon maten rive. Se te twazyèm jou a.

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:

Bondye di ankò. Se pou limyè parèt nan syèl la pou separe lajounen ak lannwit. Y'a sèvi pou make jou yo, lanne yo ak sezon yo.

And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

Y'a sèvi limyè nan syèl la pou klere tout latè a. Se konsa sa te pase.

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.

Bondye fè de gwo limyè, pi gwo a pou kòmande sou lajounen, pi piti a pou kòmande sou lannwit. Li fè zetwal yo tou.

And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

Li mete yo nan syèl la pou klere latè a,

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.

pou kòmande sou lajounen ak sou lannwit, pou separe limyè ak fènwa. Bondye gade sa l' te fè a, li wè l' bon.

And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Yon lannwit pase, yon maten rive. Se te katriyèm jou a.

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

Bondye di ankò. Se pou dlo yo kale anpil anpil bèt vivan. Se pou zwazo vole nan syèl la anwo tè a. Se konsa sa te pase.

And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Bondye kreye gwo bèt lanmè yo, tout kalite bèt vivan k'ap naje nan dlo ansanm ak tout kalite zwazo. Bondye gade sa l' te fè a, li wè l' bon.

And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

Bondye beni yo, li di. Fè pitit, fè anpil anpil pitit, plen dlo lanmè a. Se pou zwazo yo fè anpil anpil pitit tout sou tè a.

And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Yon lannwit pase, yon maten rive. Se te senkyèm jou a.

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.

Bondye di ankò. Se pou tè a kale tout kalite bèt vivan, bèt yo gade, bèt ki trennen sou vant, bèt nan bwa. Se konsa sa te pase.

And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Bondye fè tout kalite bèt, bèt nan bwa, bèt yo gade, bèt ki trennen sou vant. Li gade sa l' te fè a, li wè l' bon.

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.

Bondye di ankò. Ann fè moun. N'ap fè l' pòtre ak nou, pou li sanble ak nou. La gen pouvwa sou pwason ki nan lanmè yo, sou zwazo ki nan syèl la, sou tout bèt yo gade, sou tout latè, sou tout bèt nan bwa, sou tout bèt ki trennen sou vant sou tè a.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Bondye kreye moun. Li fè l' pòtre ak li. Li kreye yo gason ak fi.

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.

Li ba yo benediksyon, li di. Fè pitit, fè anpil anpil pitit mete sou tè a. Donte tè a. Mwen ban nou pouvwa sou pwason ki nan lanmè, sou zwazo ki nan syèl la, ak sou tout bèt vivan k'ap mache sou tè a.

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing 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.

Bondye di. Gade. Mwen ban nou tout kalite plant ki bay grenn ak tout kalite pyebwa ki bay fwi ak grenn pou nou manje.

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.

Men, tout bèt ki sou tè a, tout zwazo ki nan syèl la, tout bèt ki trennen sou vant, wi tout bèt vivan, m'ap ba yo zèb vèt pou yo manje. Se konsa sa te pase.

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.

Bondye gade sa l' te fè a, li wè l' bon nèt. Yon lannwit pase, yon maten rive. Se te sizyèm jou a.
