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

¹In the beginning of God`s preparing the heavens and the earth —

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

²the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness [is] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the face of the waters,

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

³and God saith, `Let light be;` and light is.

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

⁴And God seeth the light that [it is] good, and God separateth between the light and the darkness,

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

⁵and God calleth to the light `Day,` and to the darkness He hath called `Night;` and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day one.

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

⁶And God saith, `Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.`

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

⁷And God maketh the expanse, and it separateth between the waters which [are] under the expanse, and the waters which [are] above the expanse: and it is so.

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

⁸And God calleth to the expanse `Heavens;` and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day second.

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.

⁹And God saith, `Let the waters under the heavens be collected unto one place, and let the dry land be seen:` and it is so.

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

¹⁰And God calleth to the dry land `Earth,` and to the collection of the waters He hath called `Seas;` and God seeth that [it is] good.

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.

¹¹And God saith, `Let the earth yield tender grass, herb sowing seed, fruit-tree (whose seed [is] in itself) making fruit after its kind, on the earth:` and it is so.

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.

¹²And the earth bringeth forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed [is] in itself) after its kind; and God seeth that [it is] good;

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

¹³and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day third.

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.

¹⁴And God saith, `Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to make a separation between the day and the night, then they have been for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years,

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

¹⁵and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth:` and it is so.

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.

¹⁶And God maketh the two great luminaries, the great luminary for the rule of the day, and the small luminary — and the stars — for the rule of the night;

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

¹⁷and God giveth them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth,

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

¹⁸and to rule over day and over night, and to make a separation between the light and the darkness; and God seeth that [it is] good;

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

¹⁹and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day fourth.

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.

²⁰And God saith, `Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature, and fowl let fly on the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.`

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.

²¹And God prepareth the great monsters, and every living creature that is creeping, which the waters have teemed with, after their kind, and every fowl with wing, after its kind, and God seeth that [it is] good.

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.

²²And God blesseth them, saying, `Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and the fowl let multiply in the earth:`

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

²³and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day fifth.

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.

²⁴And God saith, `Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind:` and it is so.

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.

²⁵And God maketh the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, and God seeth that [it is] good.

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.

²⁶And God saith, `Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.`

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

²⁷And God prepareth the man in His image; in the image of God He prepared him, a male and a female He prepared them.

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.

²⁸And God blesseth them, and God saith to them, `Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping upon the earth.`

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.

²⁹And God saith, `Lo, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which [is] the fruit of a tree sowing seed, to you it is for food;

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.

³⁰and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to every creeping thing on the earth, in which [is] breath of life, every green herb [is] for food:` and it is so.

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

³¹And God seeth all that He hath done, and lo, very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day the sixth.
