¹In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

¹[Ny namoronan'Andriamanitra izao tontolo izao] Tamin'ny voalohany Andriamanitra nahary ny lanitra sy ny tany.

²And 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.

²Ary ny tany dia tsy nisy endrika sady foana; ary aizina no tambonin'ny lalina. Ary ny fanahin'Andriamanitra nanomba tambonin'ny rano.

³And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

³Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Misia mazava; dia nisy mazava.

⁴And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

⁴Ary hitan'Andriamanitra fa tsara ny mazava; ary nampisarahin'Andriamanitra ny mazava sy ny maizina.

⁵And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

⁵Ary Andriamanitra nanao ny mazava hoe andro; ary ny maizina nataony hoe alina. Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro voalohany izany.

⁶And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

⁶Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Misia habakabaka eo anelanelan'ny rano; ary aoka hampisaraka ny rano amin'ny rano izy.

⁷And 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.

⁷Ary Andriamanitra nanao ny habakabakaka ka nampisaraka ny rano ambanin'ny habakabaka tamin'ny rano ambonin'ny habakabaka; dia nisy izany.

⁸And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

⁸Ary Andriamanitra nanao ny habakabaka hoe lanitra. Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro faharoa izany.

⁹And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

⁹Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe : Aoka hiangona ny rano eny ambanin'ny lanitra ho eo amin'ny fitoerana iray, ary aoka hiseho ny maina; dia nisy izany.

¹⁰And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

¹⁰Ary Andriamanitra nanao ny maina hoe tany; ary ny rano tafangona nataony hoe ranomasina. Ary hitan'Andriamanitra fa tsara izany.

¹¹And 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.

¹¹Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Aoka ny tany haniry ahitra sy anana mamoa ary hazo fihinam-boa izay mamoa, samy araka ny karazany avy, ka manam-boa ao aminy, eny ambonin'ny tany; dia nisy izany.

¹²And 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.

¹²Ary ny tany naniry ahitra sy anana mamoa samy araka ny karazany avy, ary hazo mamoa izay manam-boa ao aminy, samy araka ny karazany avy. Ary hitan'Andriamanitra fa tsara izany.

¹³And the evening and the morning were the third day.

¹³Dia nisy hariva. ary nisy maraina, andro fahatelo izany.

¹⁴And 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:

¹⁴Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Misia fahazavana eny amin'ny habakabaky ny lanitra hampisaraka ny andro sy ny alina; ary aoka ho famantarana sy ho fotoana ary ho andro sy taona ireo.

¹⁵And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

¹⁵Ary aoka ho fanazavana eny amin'ny habakabaky ny lanitra izy hanazava eny ambonin'ny tany; dia nisy izany.

¹⁶And 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.

¹⁶Ary Andriamanitra nanao ny fanazavana roa lehibe, dia ny fanazavana lehibe ho mpanapaka ny andro ary ny fanazavana kely ho mpanapaka ny alina sy ny kintana.

¹⁷And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

¹⁷Ary Andriamanitra nametraka azy teny amin'ny habakabaky ny lanitra hanazava eny ambonin'ny tany,

¹⁸And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

¹⁸sy ho mpanapaka ny andro sy ny alina, ary hampisaraka ny mazava sy ny maizina. Ary hitan'Andriamanitra fa tsara izany.

¹⁹And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

¹⁹Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro fahefatra izany.

²⁰And 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.

²⁰Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Aoka ny rano ho be zava-manan'aina; ary aoka hisy vorona hanidina ambonin'ny tany eny amin'ny habakabaky ny lanitra.

²¹And 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.

²¹Ary Andriamanitra nahary ny biby vaventy anaty rano sy ny zava-manan'aina mihetsiketsika rehetra, izay efa betsaka ao amin'ny rano, samy araka ny karazany avy, ary ny voro-manidina rehetra, samy araka ny karazany avy. Ary hitan'Andriamanitra fa tsara izany.

²²And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

²²Ary Andriamanitra nitso-drano azy hoe: Maroa anaka sy mihabetsaha ary mamenoa ny rano ao amin'ny ranomasina; ary aoka ny vorona hihamaro eny ambonin'ny tany.

²³And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

²³Dia nisy fa hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro fahadimy izany.

²⁴And 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.

²⁴Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Aoka ny tany hamoaka zava-manan'aina samy araka ny karazany avy, dia biby fiompy sy biby mandady sy mikisaka ary bibi-dia, samy araka ny karazany avy; dia nisy izany.

²⁵And 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.

²⁵Ary Andriamanitra nanao ny bibi-dia, samy araka ny karazany avy, sy ny biby fiompy, samy araka ny karazany avy, ary ny biby rehetra izay mandady na mikisaka amin'ny tany, samy araka ny karazany avy. Ary hitan'Andriamanitra fa tsara izany.

²⁶And 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.

²⁶Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Andeha Isika hamorona olona tahaka ny endritsika, araka ny tarehintsika ; ary aoka izy hanjaka amin'ny hazandrano ao amin'ny ranomasina sy ny voro-manidina sy ny biby fiompy sy ny tany rehetra ary ny biby rehetra izay mandady na mikisaka amin'ny tany.

²⁷So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

²⁷Ary Andriamanitra nahary ny olona tahaka ny endriny; tahaka ny endrik'Andriamanitra no namoronany azy; lahy sy vavy no namoronany azy.

²⁸And 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.

²⁸Ary Andriamanitra nitso-drano azy hoe: Maroa fara sy mihabetsaha ary mamenoa ny tany, ka mampanompoa azy; ary manjaka amin'ny hazandrano ao amin'ny ranomasina sy ny voro-manidina ary ny biby rehetra izay mihetsiketsika ambonin'ny tany.

²⁹And 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.

²⁹Ary Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Indro, efa nomeko anareo ny anana manintsam-boa rehetra izay ambonin'ny tany rehetra ary ny hazo rehetra izay misy voa sady manintsam-boa; dia ho fihinana anareo ireny.

³⁰And 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.

³⁰Ary ny amin'ny bibi-dia rehetra sy ny voro-manidina rehetra ary ny zava-manan'aina rehetra izay mandady na mikisaka amin'ny tany, dia efa nomeko azy ny zava-maitso rehetra ho fihinany; dia nisy izany.Ary hitan'Andriamanitra izay rehetra nataony, ary, indro, tsara indrindra izany. Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro fahenina izany.

³¹And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

³¹Ary hitan'Andriamanitra izay rehetra nataony, ary, indro, tsara indrindra izany. Dia nisy hariva, ary nisy maraina, andro fahenina izany.
