1Ekuqaleni uThixo wayephezu kwezulu nehlabathi. 2Umhlaba wawusenyanyeni, ungento; Kwabakho ubumnyama phezu konogumbe womhlaba kwaye uMoya kaThixo wawuhamba phezu kwamanzi. 3Wathi uThixo, Makubekho ukukhanya, kwabakho ukukhanya. 4Wakubona ke uThixo ukukhanya ukuba kulungile, wahlula uThixo phakathi kokukhanya nobumnyama. 5Wathi uThixo ukukhanya yiMini, wathi ubumnyama bubusuku. Kwabakho ke ubusuku, kwasa. Yayilusuku lokuqala. 6Wathi uThixo, Makubekho ithuba phakathi kwamanzi, ube ngukwahlula amanzi esibhakabhakeni. 7uThixo wenza isithuba, wawahlula amanzi angaphantsi kwaloo ndawo kumanzi angaphezu kwawo. 8Wawabiza uThixo amazulu, kwahlwa, kwasa ke ngowesibini umhla. 9Wathi uThixo, Amanzi angaphantsi kwamazulu makahlanganiselwe ndaweni-nye, kubonakale okomileyo. Kwaye kwenzeka. 10Umhlaba owomileyo uthi ngumhlaba; yaye indibano yamanzi walubiza ulwandle, yaye uThixo wabona ukuba kulungile. 11Wathi uThixo, Umhlaba mawuphume uhlaza, nemifuno evelisa imbewu, nemithi eyenza iziqhamo ngohlobo lwayo, embewu ikuyo, emhlabeni. Kwaye kwenzeka. 12Umhlaba waphuma uhlaza, nemifuno evelisa imbewu ngohlobo lwayo, nemithi eyenza iziqhamo, embewu yayo ngohlobo lwayo. Wabona uThixo ukuba kulungile. 13Kwahlwa, kwasa ke ngomhla wesithathu. 14Wathi uThixo, Makubekho izikhanyiso esibhakabhakeni, ukuba zahlule imini kubusuku; kwaye makubekho imiqondiso namaxesha nemihla neminyaka. 15Mababe njengezikhanyiso esibhakabhakeni, zokukhanyisela ihlabathi; kwaye kwenzeka ngolu hlobo. 16Wenza uThixo izikhanyiso ezikhulu zazibini; Isikhanyiso esikhulu ukuba silawule imini, nesikhanyiso esincinane ukuba silawule imini; Wenza neenkwenkwezi. 17Wazibeka uThixo esibhakabhakeni ukuba zikhanyise emhlabeni; 18nokuba zilawule imini nobusuku, zikwahlule ukukhanya nobumnyama. Wabona uThixo ukuba kulungile. 19Kwahlwa, kwasa ke ngomhla wesine. 20Utsho uThixo ukuthi, Amanzi mawanyakazise imiphefumlo ephilileyo, neentaka eziphaphazelayo emazulwini; 21Wenza uThixo oominenga mikhulu, nayo yonke imiphefumlo ephilileyo enambuzelayo, awanyakazela ngayo amanzi ngohlobo lwayo, neentaka zonke ezinamaphiko ngohlobo lwazo. Wabona uThixo ukuba kulungile. 22Wazisikelela uThixo, wathi, Qhamani, nande, niwazalise amanzi olwandle; 23Kwahlwa, kwaza kwaba ngumhla wesihlanu ngengomso. 24Wathi uThixo, Umhlaba mawuphume imiphefumlo ephilileyo ngohlobo lwayo: izinto ezizitho zine, nezinambuzane, nezinto eziphilileyo zomhlaba ngohlobo lwazo. Kwaye kwenzeka ngolu hlobo. 25Wenza uThixo izinto eziphilileyo zomhlaba ngohlobo lwazo, nezinto ezizitho zine ngohlobo lwazo, nezinto zonke ezinyakazelayo emhlabeni ngohlobo lwazo. Wabona uThixo ukuba kulungile. 26Wathi uThixo, Masenze abantu ngokomfanekiselo wethu ngokufana nathi, babe nobukhosi ezintlanzini zolwandle, nasezintakeni zezulu, nasezintweni ezizitho zine, nasezinambuzaneni zonke ezinambuzelayo ehlabathini. 27Wamdala ke uThixo umntu ngokomfanekiselo wakhe; wadala indoda nenkazana. 28Wabasikelela uThixo, wathi kubo, Qhamani, nande, nihlale emhlabeni, niwulime; nobukhosi ezintlanzini zolwandle, nasezintakeni zezulu, nasezintweni zonke eziphilileyo ezinambuzelayo emhlabeni. 29Wathi uThixo, Yabonani, ndininika yonke imithi evelisa imbewu, esemhlabeni wonke, nemithi yonke evelisa iziqhamo, ethwala imbewu; mayibe kukutya kwakho. 30Kodwa zonke izinto eziphilileyo zehlabathi, neentaka zonke zezulu, nezinambuzane zonke ezisemhlabeni, ezihleli phezu kwazo, ndizinikele kuzo zonke imifuno ephuma kuyo ukuba zibe kukudla. Kwenzeke ngolu hlobo. 31Wakukhangela uThixo konke akwenzileyo, nanko, ukuba kulungile kunene. Kwahlwa, kwasa ke ngomhla wesithandathu.

1Ekuqaleni uThixo wayephezu kwezulu nehlabathi. 2Umhlaba wawusenyanyeni, ungento; Kwabakho ubumnyama phezu konogumbe womhlaba kwaye uMoya kaThixo wawuhamba phezu kwamanzi. 3Wathi uThixo, Makubekho ukukhanya, kwabakho ukukhanya. 4Wakubona ke uThixo ukukhanya ukuba kulungile, wahlula uThixo phakathi kokukhanya nobumnyama. 5Wathi uThixo ukukhanya yiMini, wathi ubumnyama bubusuku. Kwabakho ke ubusuku, kwasa. Yayilusuku lokuqala. 6Wathi uThixo, Makubekho ithuba phakathi kwamanzi, ube ngukwahlula amanzi esibhakabhakeni. 7uThixo wenza isithuba, wawahlula amanzi angaphantsi kwaloo ndawo kumanzi angaphezu kwawo. 8Wawabiza uThixo amazulu, kwahlwa, kwasa ke ngowesibini umhla. 9Wathi uThixo, Amanzi angaphantsi kwamazulu makahlanganiselwe ndaweni-nye, kubonakale okomileyo. Kwaye kwenzeka. 10Umhlaba owomileyo uthi ngumhlaba; yaye indibano yamanzi walubiza ulwandle, yaye uThixo wabona ukuba kulungile. 11Wathi uThixo, Umhlaba mawuphume uhlaza, nemifuno evelisa imbewu, nemithi eyenza iziqhamo ngohlobo lwayo, embewu ikuyo, emhlabeni. Kwaye kwenzeka. 12Umhlaba waphuma uhlaza, nemifuno evelisa imbewu ngohlobo lwayo, nemithi eyenza iziqhamo, embewu yayo ngohlobo lwayo. Wabona uThixo ukuba kulungile. 13Kwahlwa, kwasa ke ngomhla wesithathu. 14Wathi uThixo, Makubekho izikhanyiso esibhakabhakeni, ukuba zahlule imini kubusuku; kwaye makubekho imiqondiso namaxesha nemihla neminyaka. 15Mababe njengezikhanyiso esibhakabhakeni, zokukhanyisela ihlabathi; kwaye kwenzeka ngolu hlobo. 16Wenza uThixo izikhanyiso ezikhulu zazibini; Isikhanyiso esikhulu ukuba silawule imini, nesikhanyiso esincinane ukuba silawule imini; Wenza neenkwenkwezi. 17Wazibeka uThixo esibhakabhakeni ukuba zikhanyise emhlabeni; 18nokuba zilawule imini nobusuku, zikwahlule ukukhanya nobumnyama. Wabona uThixo ukuba kulungile. 19Kwahlwa, kwasa ke ngomhla wesine. 20Utsho uThixo ukuthi, Amanzi mawanyakazise imiphefumlo ephilileyo, neentaka eziphaphazelayo emazulwini; 21Wenza uThixo oominenga mikhulu, nayo yonke imiphefumlo ephilileyo enambuzelayo, awanyakazela ngayo amanzi ngohlobo lwayo, neentaka zonke ezinamaphiko ngohlobo lwazo. Wabona uThixo ukuba kulungile. 22Wazisikelela uThixo, wathi, Qhamani, nande, niwazalise amanzi olwandle; 23Kwahlwa, kwaza kwaba ngumhla wesihlanu ngengomso. 24Wathi uThixo, Umhlaba mawuphume imiphefumlo ephilileyo ngohlobo lwayo: izinto ezizitho zine, nezinambuzane, nezinto eziphilileyo zomhlaba ngohlobo lwazo. Kwaye kwenzeka ngolu hlobo. 25Wenza uThixo izinto eziphilileyo zomhlaba ngohlobo lwazo, nezinto ezizitho zine ngohlobo lwazo, nezinto zonke ezinyakazelayo emhlabeni ngohlobo lwazo. Wabona uThixo ukuba kulungile. 26Wathi uThixo, Masenze abantu ngokomfanekiselo wethu ngokufana nathi, babe nobukhosi ezintlanzini zolwandle, nasezintakeni zezulu, nasezintweni ezizitho zine, nasezinambuzaneni zonke ezinambuzelayo ehlabathini. 27Wamdala ke uThixo umntu ngokomfanekiselo wakhe; wadala indoda nenkazana. 28Wabasikelela uThixo, wathi kubo, Qhamani, nande, nihlale emhlabeni, niwulime; nobukhosi ezintlanzini zolwandle, nasezintakeni zezulu, nasezintweni zonke eziphilileyo ezinambuzelayo emhlabeni. 29Wathi uThixo, Yabonani, ndininika yonke imithi evelisa imbewu, esemhlabeni wonke, nemithi yonke evelisa iziqhamo, ethwala imbewu; mayibe kukutya kwakho. 30Kodwa zonke izinto eziphilileyo zehlabathi, neentaka zonke zezulu, nezinambuzane zonke ezisemhlabeni, ezihleli phezu kwazo, ndizinikele kuzo zonke imifuno ephuma kuyo ukuba zibe kukudla.
