Gênesis 1

1 In the beginning, God*1:1 The Hebrew word rendered "God" is "אֱלֹהִ֑ים" (Elohim). created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.

3 God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day", and the darkness he called "night". There was evening and there was morning, the first day.

6 God said, "Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters." 7 God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. 8 God called the expanse "sky". There was evening and there was morning, a second day.

9 God said, "Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear;" and it was so. 10 God called the dry land "earth", and the gathering together of the waters he called "seas". God saw that it was good. 11 God said, "Let the earth yield grass, herbs yielding seeds, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with their seeds in it, on the earth;" and it was so. 12 The earth yielded grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with their seeds in it, after their kind; and God saw that it was good. 13 There was evening and there was morning, a third day.

14 God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs to mark seasons, days, and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth;" and it was so. 16 God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light to the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good. 19 There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

20 God said, "Let the waters abound with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky." 21 God created the large sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." 23 There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.

24 God said, "Let the earth produce living creatures after their kind, livestock, creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind;" and it was so. 25 God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good.

26 God said, "Let’s make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27 God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them. God said to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." 29 God said, "Behold,*1:29 "Behold", from "הִנֵּה", means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection. I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food. 30 To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;" and it was so.

31 God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

Ngā Rangi e Ono o te Hanganga, me te Hāpati

1 He mea hanga nā te Atua i te tīmatanga te rangi me te whenua, 2 ā, kāhore he āhua o te whenua, i takoto kau; he pōuri anō a runga i te mata o te hōhonu. Nā, ka whakapāho te Wairua o te Atua i runga i te kare o ngā wai. 3 Ā, ka kī te Atua, "Kia mārama"; nā, ka mārama. 4 Ā, ka kite te Atua i te mārama, he pai; ā, ka wehea e te Atua te mārama i te pōuri. 5 Nā, ka huaina e te Atua te mārama ko te Awatea, ā, ko te pōuri i huaina e ia ko te Pō. Ā, ko te ahiahi, ko te ata, he rā kotahi.

6 Nā, ka mea te Atua, "Kia whai kikorangi a waenganui o ngā wai, hei wehe i waenganui o ngā wai." 7 Nā, ka hangā e te Atua te kikorangi, ka wehea e ia ngā wai i raro o te kikorangi i ngā wai o runga o te kikorangi. Ā, ka oti. 8 Nā, ka huaina te kikorangi e te Atua ko te Rangi. Ā, ko te ahiahi, ko te ata, he rā tuarua.

9 Nā, ka mea te Atua, "Kia huihuia ngā wai i raro i te rangi kia kotahi te wāhi, ā, kia puta te tuawhenua." Ā, ka oti. 10 Nā, ka huaina e te Atua te tuawhenua ko te "whenua"; ā, ko te huihuinga o ngā wai i huaina e ia ko ngā Moana. Ā, ka kite te Atua, he pai.

11 Nā, ka mea te Atua, "Kia pihi ake te tarutaru i te whenua: te otaota whai purapura, me te rākau hua, ki runga ki te whenua, e hua ana ōna hua, he mea rite tonu ki a ia, kei roto nei i a ia ōna purapura." Ā, ka oti. 12 Nā, ka whakaputaina e te whenua te tarutaru: te otaota hoki e hua ana ōna hua he mea rite tonu ki a ia, me te rākau whai hua, kei roto nei i a ia ōna purapura he mea rite tonu ki a ia. Ā, ka kite te Atua, he pai. 13 Ā, ko te ahiahi, ko te ata, he rā tuatoru.

14 Nā, ka mea te Atua, "Kia whai mea whakamārama te kiko o te rangi, hei wehe i te awatea, i te pō; hei tohu anō aua mea, hei tāima, hei rā, hei tau. 15 Hei whakamārama aua mea i te kiko o te rangi, hei whakamārama i te whenua." Ā, ka oti. 16 Nā, ka hangā e te Atua ngā mea whakamārama nui e rua – ko te whakamārama nui hei tohutohu mō te awatea, ko te whakamārama tuaiti hei tohutohu mō te pō – i hangā anō hoki e ia ngā whetū. 17 Ā, whakanohoia ana aua mea e te Atua ki te kiko o te rangi, hei whakamārama mō te whenua, 18 hei tohutohu i te awatea, i te pō, hei wehe hoki i te mārama, i te pōuri. Ā, ka kite te Atua, he pai. 19 Ā, ko te ahiahi, ko te ata, he rā tuawhā.

20 Nā, ka mea te Atua, "Kia ngahue ake i roto i ngā wai te mea ora e ngōki ana, kia rere anō hoki te manu i runga ake i te whenua i te mata o te kiko o te rangi." 21 Nā, ka hangā e te Atua ngā tohorā nunui, me ngā mea ora katoa, ngā mea ngōkingōki i ngahue ake nei i roto i ngā wai, o ia āhua, o ia āhua, me ngā manu whai parirau katoa, o ia āhua, o ia āhua. Ā, ka kite te Atua, he pai. 22 Nā, ka manaaki te Atua i a rātou, ka mea, "Kia hua koutou, kia tini, kia kapi hoki ngā wai o ngā moana i a koutou, kia tini anō hoki ngā manu ki runga ki te whenua." 23 Ā, ko te ahiahi, ko te ata, he rā tuarima.

24 Nā, ka mea te Atua, "Kia whakaputaina e te whenua te mea ora o ia āhua, o ia āhua, te kararehe me te mea ngōkingōki me te kīrehe o te whenua o ia āhua, o ia āhua." Ā, ka oti. 25 Nā, ka hangā e te Atua te kīrehe o te whenua o ia āhua, o ia āhua, me te kararehe o ia āhua, o ia āhua, me ngā mea ngōkingōki katoa o te whenua o ia āhua, o ia āhua; ā, ka kite te Atua he pai.

26 Nā, ka mea te Atua, "Kia hanga tātou i te tangata kia rite ki a tātou, hei tō tātou anō te āhua. Ā, kia waiho ko rātou hei rangatira mō ngā ika o te moana, mō te manu o te rangi, mō ngā kararehe hoki, mō te whenua katoa, mō ngā mea ngōkingōki katoa anō hoki e ngōkingōki ana i runga i te whenua."

27 Nā, ka hangā e te Atua te tangata rite tonu ki a ia;

i hangā e ia kia rite ki te Atua;

i hangā rāua he tāne, he wahine.

28 Nā, ka manaakitia rāua e te Atua, ā, ka mea te Atua ki a rāua, "Kia hua, kia tini, kia kapi hoki te whenua i a kōrua, kia mate hoki ōna tara i a kōrua; ko kōrua hei rangatira mō te ika o te moana, mō te manu hoki o te rangi, mō ngā mea ora katoa anō hoki e ngōkingōki ana i runga i te whenua."

29 Ā, ka mea te Atua, "Nā, kua oti te hoatu e ahau ki a kōrua ngā otaota katoa e whai purapura ana i runga i te mata o te whenua katoa, me te rākau katoa, he hua rākau tōna e whai purapura ana; hei kai ēnā mā kōrua. 30 Ā, kua hoatu anō e ahau ngā otaota matomato katoa hei kai mā ngā kararehe katoa o te whenua, mā ngā manu katoa o te rangi, mā ngā mea katoa hoki e ngōkingōki ana i runga i te whenua kei roto nei i a rātou he wairua ora." Ā, ka oti.

31 Ā, ka kite te Atua i ngā mea katoa kua hangā nei e ia, nā, pai whakaharahara. Ā, ko te ahiahi, ko te ata, ko te rā tuaono.
