¹ Sintina gaa Irikoy na beena da ganda taka.

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

² Ganda go mo batama koonu no kaŋ sinda alhaali, hari guusuyaŋo boŋ mo, kala kubay. Irikoy Biya mo goono ga yooje harey boŋ.

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.

³ Gaa no Irikoy ne: «Kaari ma te.» Kaaro mo te.

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

⁴ Irikoy di kaŋ kaaro ga boori, nga mo na kaaro da kuba fay.

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

⁵ Irikoy ne kaaro se Zaari. Kuba mo, a ne a se Cin. Wiciri kambu te, susubay mo te, jirbi sintina nooya.

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

⁶ Irikoy ne mo: «Batama ma te harey da care game ra hal a ma harey fay da care.»

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

⁷ Irikoy na batama te mo, a na harey kaŋ yaŋ go batama cire fay da harey kaŋ yaŋ go batama boŋ. Yaadin mo no te.

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.

⁸ Irikoy na batama maa daŋ ka ne a se Beene. Wiciri kambu te, susubay mo te, jirbi hinkanta nooya.

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

⁹ Irikoy ne: «Beene batama cire harey ma margu nangu folloŋ, ganda laabo mo ma bangay.» Yaadin mo no te.

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.

¹⁰ Irikoy na ganda batama maa daŋ Ndunnya. A na harey marganta mo maa daŋ Teeku. Irikoy di kaŋ woodin mo ga boori.

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

¹¹ Irikoy ne: «Subu nda tuuri izey kaŋ ga hay yaŋ mo ma fatta ka fun laabo ra, da tuuri-nyaŋey kaŋ ga izeyaŋ hay, wo kaŋ gonda gure, i afo kulu nga dumo boŋ.» Yaadin mo no laabo te.

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.

¹² Subu nda tuuri izey kaŋ yaŋ ga hay ngey dumey boŋ binde fatta ka fun laabo ra, ngey nda tuuri-nyaŋey kaŋ ga izeyaŋ hay, kaŋ yaŋ gonda gure, ngey dumey boŋ. Irikoy di kaŋ woodin mo ga boori.

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.

¹³ Wiciri kambu te, susubay mo te, jirbi hinzanta nooya.

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

¹⁴ Irikoy ne: «Hayey kaŋ ga kaari ma te beene batama ra, hala fayyaŋ ma te cin da zaari game ra. I ma goro mo alaamayaŋ jiirey da jirbey da alwaatey se.

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:

¹⁵ I ma goro mo kaariyaŋ beene batama ra, ka te kaari ndunnya se.» Yaadin mo no te.

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

¹⁶ Irikoy na kaari beeri hinka din te, ibambata ma may zaari, ikayna mo ma may cin. A na handariyayzey mo te.

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.

¹⁷ Irikoy n'i daŋ beene batama ra zama i ma kaari ndunnya boŋ,

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

¹⁸ i ma may cin da zaari, i ma kubay da kaari fay mo. Irikoy di kaŋ woodin mo ga boori.

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.

¹⁹ Wiciri kambu te, susubay mo te, jirbi taacanta nooya.

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

²⁰ Irikoy ne: «Harey ma fundikooni boobo hay kaŋ ga yooje, wo kaŋ yaŋ gonda fundi. Curayzey mo ma deesi beene batama ra ndunnya se beene.»

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.

²¹ Irikoy na teeku ham bambatey mo taka, da fundikooni kulu kaŋ ga yooje, wo kaŋ yaŋ ga nyuturu-nyuturu harey ra, a n'i taka ngey dumey boŋ. A na curo kulu kaŋ ga deesi mo taka nga dumo boŋ. Irikoy di kaŋ woodin mo ga boori.

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.

²² Irikoy n'i albarkandi ka ne: «Wa ize boobo hay ka baa ka tonton. Araŋ ma teekoy harey toonandi. Curayzey mo ma baa ka tonton ndunnya ra.»

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

²³ Wiciri kambu te, susubay mo te, jirbi guwanta nooya.

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

²⁴ Irikoy ne: «Laabo mo ma baafunayaŋ hay, afo kulu nga dumo boŋ, kwaara almaney da wo kaŋ yaŋ ga ganda biri, da ndunnya ganji hamey ngey dumey boŋ.» Yaadin mo no ka te.

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.

²⁵ Irikoy na ganji hamey taka ngey dumey boŋ, kwaara almaney mo ngey dumey boŋ, da hay kulu kaŋ ga ganda biri laabo boŋ ngey dumey boŋ. Irikoy di kaŋ woodin mo ga boori.

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.

²⁶ Woodin banda Irikoy ne: «Iri ma boro te iri alhaalo ra, iri wane himando boŋ. I ma teeku hamey da beene curey da almaney may. I ma ndunnya may, da hay kulu kaŋ ga ganda biri ganda laabo boŋ.»

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.

²⁷ Irikoy binde na boro taka nga alhaalo boŋ, Irikoy alhaalo ra no a n'i taka, alboro nda wayboro a n'i taka.

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

²⁸ Irikoy n'i albarkandi mo. Irikoy ne i se: «Araŋ ma ize boobo hay ka baa ka tonton. Araŋ ma ndunnya may mo, araŋ ma teeku hamey may, da beene batama curayzey, da fundikooni kulu kaŋ ga nyooti ndunnya boŋ.»

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.

²⁹ Irikoy ne mo: «Guna, ay n'araŋ no tuurey kulu kaŋ ga ize hay, kaŋ yaŋ go ndunnya fando kulu boŋ, da tuuri-nya kulu kaŋ ga ize hay mo kaŋ gonda gure. I ga ciya araŋ se ŋwaari.

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.

³⁰ Alman kulu kaŋ go ndunnya ra, da beene curo kulu, da hay kulu kaŋ ga ganda biri laabo boŋ mo, kaŋ yaŋ ra fundi go, ay na kobto tayo no i se a ma ciya i se ŋwaari.» Yaadin mo no ka te.

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.

³¹ Irikoy na hay kulu kaŋ nga te guna, i go mo, i kulu ga boori gumo. Wiciri kambu te, susubay mo te, jirbi iddanta nooya.

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.
