¹Bilowgii Ilaah samada iyo dhulkuu abuuray.

¹In the beginning God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” After “God,” the Hebrew has the two letters “Aleph Tav” (the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet) as a grammatical marker. created the heavens and the earth.

²Dhulkuna qaab ma lahayn, wuuna madhnaa; gudcurna moolkuu dul joogay; oo Ruuxa Ilaahna wuxuu ka dul dhaqdhaqaaqayay biyaha.

²Now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep. God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.

³Ilaahna wuxuu yidhi, Iftiin ha ahaado: iftiin baana ahaaday.

³God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

⁴Ilaahna wuxuu arkay iftiinkii inuu wanaagsan yahay: Ilaahna iftiinkii ayuu ka soocay gudcurkii.

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

⁵Ilaahna iftiinkii wuxuu u bixiyey Maalin, gudcurkiina wuxuu u bixiyey Habeen. Waxaana jiray fiid iyo subax, isla maalin ah.

⁵God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” There was evening and there was morning, one day.

⁶Ilaahna wuxuu yidhi, Meel bannaani ha noqoto biyaha dhexdooda, oo iyadu biyaha ha ka soocdo biyaha.

⁶God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”

⁷Markaasuu Ilaah sameeyey meeshii bannaanka ahayd, oo wuxuu biyihii bannaanka ka hooseeyey ka soocay kuwii bannaanka ka sarreeyey; sidaasayna ahaatay.

⁷God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.

⁸Ilaahna bannaankii wuxuu u bixiyey Samo. Waxaana jiray fiid iyo subax, maalintii labaad.

⁸God called the expanse “sky.” There was evening and there was morning, a second day.

⁹Ilaahna wuxuu yidhi, Biyaha samada ka hooseeya meel ha isugu soo urureen, oo ciidda engegani ha muuqato; sidaasayna ahaatay.

⁹God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so.

¹⁰Markaasuu Ilaah ciiddii engegnayd u bixiyey Dhul; ururkii biyahana wuxuu u bixiyey Bado: oo Ilaah wuxuu arkay in taasu wanaagsan tahay.

¹⁰God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathering together of the waters he called “seas.” God saw that it was good.

¹¹Ilaahna wuxuu yidhi, Dhulku ha soo bixiyo doog, iyo geedo yaryar oo iniino dhala, iyo geedo waaweyn oo midho caynkooda ah dhala, oo iniinahoodu ku dhex jiraan, oo dhulka ku kor yaal; sidaasayna ahaatay.

¹¹God said, “Let the earth yield grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with its seed in it, on the earth”; and it was so.

¹²Dhulkiina wuxuu soo bixiyey doog, iyo geedo yaryar oo leh iniino caynkooda ah, iyo geedo waaweyn oo midho dhala, oo iniinahoodu ku dhex jiraan, iyagoo caynkooda ah, Ilaahna wuxuu arkay in taasu wanaagsan tahay.

¹²The earth yielded grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with its seed in it, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.

¹³Waxaana jiray fiid iyo subax, maalintii saddexaad.

¹³There was evening and there was morning, a third day.

¹⁴Ilaahna wuxuu yidhi, Iftiimmo ha ahaadeen meesha bannaan oo samada dhex ah si ay u kala soocaan maalinta iyo habeenka; oo ha u ahaadeen calaamooyin, iyo xilliyo, iyo maalmo iyo sannado;

¹⁴God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;

¹⁵oo iftiimmo ha u noqdeen meeshii bannaanayd oo samada dhex ahayd si ay u iftiimiyaan dhulka dushiisa; sidaasayna ahaatay.

¹⁵and let them be for lights in the expanse of sky to give light on the earth”; and it was so.

¹⁶Oo Ilaah wuxuu sameeyey labada iftiin ee waaweyn; si uu iftiinka weynu u xukumo maalinta, iftiinka yaruna u xukumo habeenka; oo xiddigahana wuu sameeyey.

¹⁶God 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.

¹⁷Ilaahna wuxuu iyaga dhigay meeshii bannaanayd oo samada dhex ahayd si ay dhulka u iftiimiyaan,

¹⁷God set them in the expanse of sky to give light to the earth,

¹⁸oo ay u xukumaan maalinta iyo habeenka, oo ay iftiinka uga soocaan gudcurka, Ilaahna wuxuu arkay in taasu wanaagsan tahay.

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

¹⁹Oo waxaana jiray fiid iyo subax, maalintii afraad.

¹⁹There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

²⁰Oo Ilaah wuxuu yidhi, Biyuhu aad ha u soo bixiyeen uun dhaqdhaqaaqa oo badan, oo naf nool leh, haadduna ha duusho dhulka dushiisa xagga meeshii bannaanayd oo samada dhex ahayd.

²⁰God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of sky.”

²¹Oo Ilaah wuxuu abuuray nibiriyada badda oo waaweyn, iyo uun kasta oo nool oo dhaqdhaqaaqa, ee biyuhu aad u soo bixiyeen iyagoo badan, oo caynkooda oo kale dhala, iyo haad kasta oo caynkiisa dhala; Ilaahna wuxuu arkay in taasu wanaagsan tahay.

²¹God 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.

²²Oo Ilaah baa barakeeyey iyaga, isagoo leh, Wax badan dhala, oo tarma, oo biyaha badaha ka buuxsama, haadduna ha ku tarmeen dhulka.

²²God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”

²³Oo waxaana jiray fiid iyo subax, maalintii shanaad.

²³There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.

²⁴Oo Ilaah wuxuu yidhi, Dhulku ha soo bixiyo uun nool oo caynkiisa dhala, kuwaasoo ah xoolo, iyo waxa gurguurta, iyo dugaagga dhulka oo caynkooda dhala; sidaasayna ahaatay.

²⁴God 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.

²⁵Ilaahna wuxuu sameeyey dugaagga dhulka oo caynkiisa dhala, iyo xoolo caynkooda dhala, iyo wax kasta oo dhulka gurguurta oo caynkiisa dhala; Ilaahna wuxuu arkay in taasu wanaagsan tahay.

²⁵God 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.

²⁶Ilaahna wuxuu yidhi, Aan nin inoo eg ka samayno araggeenna, oo iyagu ha xukumeen kalluunka badda, iyo haadda hawada, iyo xoolaha, iyo dhulka oo dhan, iyo waxa dhulka gurguurta oo dhan.

²⁶God 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 birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

²⁷Oo Ilaah nin buu ka abuuray araggiisa, Ilaah araggiisa ayuu ka abuuray isaga; lab iyo dhaddig ayuu abuuray.

²⁷God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.

²⁸Oo Ilaah waa barakeeyey iyaga; oo Ilaah wuxuu iyaga ku yidhi, Wax badan dhala oo tarma, oo dhulka ka buuxsama, oo ka sara mara dhulka, oo xukuma kalluunka badda, iyo haadda hawada, iyo wax kasta oo nool oo dhulka kor dhaqdhaqaaqa.

²⁸God 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.”

²⁹Oo Ilaah wuxuu yidhi, Bal eeg, waxaan idin siiyey geed kasta oo yar oo iniino dhala, oo ku yaal dhulka dushiisa oo dhan, iyo geed kasta oo weyn, kaasoo midho leh, iniinona dhala; oo waxay idiin noqon doonaan cunto;

²⁹God said, “Behold, 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.

³⁰oo dugaag kasta oo dhulka jooga, iyo haad kasta oo hawada duula, iyo wax kasta oo dhulka gurguurta, oo naf nool leh ayaan geed kasta oo cagaar ah cunto u siiyey; sidaasayna ahaatay.Oo Ilaah wuxuu arkay wax kasta oo uu sameeyey, oo bal eeg, aad bay u wanaagsanaayeen. Waxaana jiray fiid iyo subax, maalintii lixaad.

³⁰To 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.

³¹Oo Ilaah wuxuu arkay wax kasta oo uu sameeyey, oo bal eeg, aad bay u wanaagsanaayeen. Waxaana jiray fiid iyo subax, maalintii lixaad.

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