UGenesise 1
Indaba yokudala
1Ekuqaleni uNkulunkulu wadala izulu nomhlaba.
2Umhlaba wawuyize, ungenalutho; Ubumnyama babuphezu kukazamcolo womhlaba futhi uMoya kaNkulunkulu wawundinda phezu kwamanzi.
3UNkulunkulu wathi: Makube khona ukukhanya, futhi kwaba khona ukukhanya.
4UNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi ukukhanya kuhle, futhi uNkulunkulu wahlukanisa ukukhanya nobumnyama.
5UNkulunkulu wabiza ukukhanya ngokuthi yiMini, nobumnyama wabubiza ngokuthi ubusuku. Kwaba sebusuku, kwaba ngukusa. Kwakuwusuku lokuqala.
6UNkulunkulu wathi: Makube khona umkhathi phakathi kwamanzi, futhi mawuhlukanise amanzi nomkhathi.
7UNkulunkulu wenza umkhathi futhi wahlukanisa amanzi angaphansi komkhathi namanzi angaphezu komkhathi.
8UNkulunkulu wabiza umkhathi, futhi kwaba kusihlwa, futhi kusasa, usuku lwesibili.
9UNkulunkulu wathi: “Amanzi aphansi kwezulu mawaqoqekele ndawonye, kubonakale umhlabathi owomileyo.” kwaba njalo.
10UNkulunkulu wabiza umhlabathi owomileyo ngokuthi umhlaba; nokuqoqeka kwamanzi wakubiza ngokuthi ulwandle; uNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi kuhle.
11UNkulunkulu wathi: “Umhlaba mawuveze utshani, izitshalo ezithela imbewu, nemithi yezithelo ethela izithelo ngezinhlobo zayo, ekuyo imbewu yayo, emhlabeni.” kwaba njalo.
12Umhlaba waveza utshani, nezitshalo ezithela imbewu ngezinhlobo zazo, nemithi ethela izithelo, ekuyo imbewu yayo ngezinhlobo zayo; uNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi kuhle.
13Kwaba ngukuhlwa, kwaba kusasa, usuku lwesithathu.
14UNkulunkulu wathi: “Makube khona emkhathini wezulu izinkanyiso zehlukanise imini nobusuku; futhi mazibe izibonakaliso nezinkathi nezinsuku neminyaka.
15Futhi mabasebenze njengezinkanyiso emkhathini wezulu ukuze zikhanyise emhlabeni; futhi kwenzeka kanje.
16UNkulunkulu wenza izinkanyiso ezimbili ezinkulu; ukukhanya okukhulu ukubusa emini nokukhanya okuncane ukubusa ebusuku; Wenza nezinkanyezi.
17UNkulunkulu wazibeka emkhathini wezulu ukuba zikhanyise emhlabeni;
18Futhi ukubusa imini nobusuku, kanye nokuhlukanisa ukukhanya nobumnyama, futhi uNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi kuhle.
19Kwaba ngukuhlwa, kwaba kusasa, usuku lwesine.
20UNkulunkulu wathi: “Amanzi mawagcwale uswebezane lwezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo, nezinyoni ezindiza phezu komhlaba emkhathini wezulu.”
21UNkulunkulu wenza imikhomo emikhulu nazo zonke izidalwa eziphilayo ezihambayo, amanzi akhiqiza ngobuningi ngezinhlobo zazo, nezinyoni zonke ezinamaphiko ngezinhlobo zazo; uNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi kuhle.
22UNkulunkulu wazibusisa, wathi: “Zalani, nande, nigcwalise amanzi olwandle, nezinyoni mazande emhlabeni.
23Kwasekukusihlwa, kusasa kwaba lilanga lesihlanu.
24UNkulunkulu wathi: “Umhlaba mawuveze izilwane eziphilayo ngezinhlobo zazo: izinkomo, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo, nezilo zomhlaba ngezinhlobo zazo; futhi kwenzeka kanje.
25UNkulunkulu wazenza izilwane zomhlaba ngezinhlobo zazo, nezinkomo ngezinhlobo zazo, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni ngezinhlobo zazo; uNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi kuhle.
26UNkulunkulu wathi: Masenze abantu ngomfanekiso wethu, basifuze, babuse phezu kwezinhlanzi zolwandle, phezu kwezinyoni zezulu, naphezu kwezinkomo, naphezu kwazo zonke izilwane ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni wonke.
27UNkulunkulu wamdala umuntu ngomfanekiso wakhe, wamdala ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu; wabadala owesilisa nowesifazane.
28UNkulunkulu wababusisa, wathi kubo: Zalani, nande, nihlale emhlabeni, niwulime. Nibuse phezu kwezinhlanzi zolwandle, nezinyoni zezulu, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni.
29UNkulunkulu wathi: Bhekani, ngiyaninika zonke izimila ezithela imbewu, ezisemhlabeni wonke, nemithi yonke ethela izithelo ethela imbewu; kufanele kube ngukudla kini.
30Kepha zonke izilwane zomhlaba, nezinyoni zonke zezulu, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni, okukhona kuzo ukuphila, ngazinika zonke izitshalo eziluhlaza zibe ngukudla. Kwenzeka kanje.
31UNkulunkulu wabheka konke akwenzileyo, wabona ukuthi kwakukuhle kakhulu. Kwahlwa, kwaba kusasa, usuku lwesithupha.
