1 | GEN 1:1 | At the first, long ago God made the sky and the ground. |
3 | GEN 1:3 | God said, “Become light!” After that it became light at his word. |
5 | GEN 1:5 | He named the darkness, 'night-that', the light he named, 'day-that'. After that it became night, after that it became dawn. Another day appeared/arrived. |
8 | GEN 1:8 | That sky he named, 'sky-that'. After that it became night, after that it became dawn. Another day appeared. |
11 | GEN 1:11 | After that he said, “Different kinds of trees appear and different kinds of green plants, with separate foods!” That happened. |
13 | GEN 1:13 | After that it became night, after that it became dawn. Another day appeared. |
19 | GEN 1:19 | After that it became night, after that it became dawn. Another day appeared. |
21 | GEN 1:21 | Then he made very big animals in the sea. He also made big and little fish of different kinds. In the rivers and water-holes he made different kinds of fish. And he made all the other water dwellers in the water-holes and seas. He made different kinds of winged creatures also. When he saw it he said “Good.” |
23 | GEN 1:23 | After that it became night, after that it became dawn. Another day appeared. |
26 | GEN 1:26 | After that he said, “We will make people like us. They will be boss for all the animals, and for all the fish and for all the winged creatures and for the ones that go on the ground.” |
31 | GEN 1:31 | Truly he made the whole lot. When he had finished making them God looked at them all. He said, “Very good.” Like that God made everything. He made everything in six days. After that it became night, after that it became dawn. Another day appeared. |
32 | GEN 2:1 | This next day he did not make another thing. He said about that day, “Already I have finished making everything. I was working, now I have left off working. This day truly I did not make another thing. Because of that this day is different, without work. I have left off work for today.” [Avoiding word for 'rest', which also means 'sleep'.] |
38 | GEN 2:7 | Like this God made a/the person. He got dust from the ground. He made a man from that dust. Then he breathed in the nose of the man, then wind/breath from God entered the man. For that reason the man became alive. The name of that man was Adam. |
39 | GEN 2:8 | After that in the country, in Eden, there God put a big water-hole/permanent camp, a truly good one. He put the man he had made at that water-hole. |
40 | GEN 2:9 | At that water-hole he put different kinds of good trees. There were different kinds having very good food there. In the middle of the trees God put one tree. He named that tree, 'One That Keeps People Alive'. After a person eats from that tree he will live for ever, he will stay without death. He put another tree in the middle of the others, that was a thing associated with making knowledgeable. He named that tree, 'One That Teaches People About Good And Bad'. |
46 | GEN 2:15 | At the water-hole in Eden he put that (previously-referred to) person to dig the ground and to care for the water-hole. |
48 | GEN 2:17 | (Fruit) from one tree leave, do not eat it, from the tree which makes knowledgeable. I named it, 'One That Teaches People About Good And Bad'. From that tree don't eat. If you eat from that tree truly you will die.” |
50 | GEN 2:19 | Already God had made all the animals and winged creatures from the ground. He brought them to the man to give them names. That man gave names to the animals and winged creatures and other creatures. They kept the names in accord with the man's word. Among them all there was not one like the man, a companion for him. |
54 | GEN 2:23 | Then the man said, “At last! This one is like me! He made her from my body. Her name is 'Woman'.” |
55 | GEN 2:24 | Because of that God left us this track/pattern of behaviour. A/the man will leave mother and father and they will become one, he and his own wife. Truly those two will be one. |
56 | GEN 2:25 | At the water-hole Eden that couple, Adam and his wife, were staying naked, they stayed well, naked, those two, without shame. |
57 | GEN 3:1 | Among the other animals the snake was really clever. The snake asked the woman, “What did God say to you? 'You should not eat food from all the trees at the water-hole'? Like that did God say to you?” |
67 | GEN 3:11 | God asked him, “How did you learn you were naked? From that tree, the One that Teaches People About Good and Bad, did you eat food from that?” |
70 | GEN 3:14 | God said to the snake, “You did very badly. In response I will truly do evil to you, not to the rest of the animals, only to you. On your stomach [emphasised] you will go. You will eat dust always. I will make you dislike the woman. I will make the woman dislike you. Your children and those of the woman will look at each other in anger. The/A child of the woman will truly bruise your head. You truly will bruise his heel.” |
73 | GEN 3:17 | Then God said to the man, “I told you not to eat that food. You didn't listen to me. Because of your wife's word you ate food from that tree. In response I will make the country bad. Spinifex and prickles and those sorts of things will appear. You will search for food always. You will dig hard for food, Every day you will be exhausted, you will sweat hard getting food to eat. (Lit., “Every day you will break, truly sweat will eat you.”) After dying you will become dust. I made you from the ground. From the dust I made you. After dying you will become dust again. |
77 | GEN 3:21 | Then God made clothes from animal skins for them, for Adam and his wife, God put them on them. |
78 | GEN 3:22 | Then he said, “The man didn't listen to me, he already ate from the tree that makes knowledgeable. He is now like us, he knows/understands about good and bad. He might eat from that other tree, from the one that keeps alive. After that he will live always, he will stay without death. I will prevent him lest he eat.” |
80 | GEN 3:24 | After that God put an angel [English word phonemicised] east of that water-hole, and a big cutting thing, like a big knife. The point of that big cutting thing was going in every direction, and it was flashing. God told that angel, “You are to stop the man/people from entering close to that tree, to that tree that keeps alive.” |
81 | GEN 4:1 | Adam and Eve went from that place Eden. After that Eve had a son. She said, “God has given me a son.” His name was Cain. |
82 | GEN 4:2 | After that she had another son. His name was Abel. The two became big. They became men. Abel used to care for sheep. Cain used to dig the ground. He used to put foods in the ground, they used to come up, he used to gather them. |
84 | GEN 4:4 | His younger brother took a sheep, he killed it, he gave good parts to God. Abel pleased God. |
92 | GEN 4:12 | And foods will not come up for you. I will send you far off. With fear you will keep going to other places.” |
105 | GEN 4:25 | After Abel died Eve had another child. She said, “Cain killed Abel. God in response has given me another child.” She named him Seth. |
139 | GEN 6:1 | After a long time there were many people. They scattered, they were everywhere. They all became really bad. They didn't listen to God. They kept on ignoring him. They kept talking to each other about how to do evil. Because of that God said, “The people are all doing bad things. They are always thinking about how to do evil. When I made them they were good, now they have become very bad. Because of that I am broken-hearted (lit: 'my stomach is broken'). I will kill the evil doers, and the animals and birds also.” |
149 | GEN 6:11 | God said to Noah, “All the other people are living really badly. They ignore me, they don't listen to me. They are talking to each other all the time to do evil and they are hitting/killing each other. Because of that reason I will kill them all. |
159 | GEN 6:21 | And gather for them different foods. For yourselves also heap up food in the boat.” |
160 | GEN 6:22 | Noah believed God. He made a very big boat, with wood he made it, long and wide. And he collected a large amount of different foods and put them in (the boat). Truly Noah did all in accordance with God's word. |
161 | GEN 7:1 | After that God said to him, “Soon that big rain will fall. Hurry, get in the boat, you and yours. You (sg) alone are characterised by goodness, you alone have been listening to me. For that reason I will keep you and yours alive. |
162 | GEN 7:2 | Take inside those (previously referred to) animals and birds. Put them in accordance with my word. Take birds, 7 pairs of one kind, 7 pairs of another kind, different kinds. And take tame animals the same way, 7 pairs. And of the remaining animals take pair by pair, different kinds. |
165 | GEN 7:5 | Noah entered the boat because of God's word. And he took his wife and children and their wives and the animals and birds. They all entered. |
170 | GEN 7:10 | After that a big rain fell. |
171 | GEN 7:11 | And from under the ground a flood came bubbling up also. |
181 | GEN 7:21 | The father and sons and their wives and the animals stayed alive in the boat. The flood killed the remaining animals and all the people, everything outside. 7:24—8:3 God was caring for those who were in the boat. He sent a wind. After that the flood abated. It was going down slowly for 4 months. They were staying in the boat a long time, they were waiting for the flood to go down. |
188 | GEN 8:4 | After that the flood left the boat on top of the hills. It came to rest (lit: 'sat down') on top of the hills. The name of that hilly place was Ararat. |
189 | GEN 8:5 | The flood was continuing to go down. After that, after 3 months, the heads of the hills appeared after being hidden by the water. The water kept going down. |
190 | GEN 8:6 | After that, after one month, Noah sent out a crow. The crow was searching for dry ground and trees. He went away for good, he didn't return. |
192 | GEN 8:8 | After that, after 7 days, Noah sent another creature, a dove. It was searching in vain for dry ground. Soon it returned to the boat. Noah stretched out his arm, the dove landed on his arm, Noah put him inside the boat. |
194 | GEN 8:10 | Noah waited seven days. After that again he sent out the dove. |
196 | GEN 8:12 | After that, in seven days, Noah again tried out the dove. It went away for good, it did not return. It saw ground. |
197 | GEN 8:13 | Noah waited one month. After that he looked around. |
234 | GEN 9:28 | After the big flood Noah lived a long time, 350 years. |
235 | GEN 9:29 | He became 950 years old. After that he died. |
268 | GEN 11:1 | After that for a long time people were talking just that one language. |
294 | GEN 11:27 | A long time after that big flood a man appeared, his name was Abram. He was an inhabitant of that country Chaldea. He lived in the town named Ur. His father's name was Terah, his younger brothers were Nahor and Haran. (That Haran had children, a son named Lot, and two daughters named Milcah and Iscah.) While Terah was still alive Haran died in his country, in that town Ur. |
296 | GEN 11:29 | Nahor and Haran's daughter Milcah got married. Abram and Sarai got married, those two. |
298 | GEN 11:31 | After that Terah left that town. He took his son Abram, his daughter-in-law Sarai, his grandson Lot, just them. They were going westwards towards another country, Canaan. Partway they arrived at a town named Haran. They settled there for a long time. |
300 | GEN 12:1 | While Abram's father was alive God spoke to Abram, “You(sg) will ['you are to'; this future form is often used as a mild imperative, which the hearer has the option of disobeying] leave your country, you will leave your father's camp, you will leave the others. You will go to another country, later I will show you, after you arrive there I will tell you, 'This is that very country.' |
302 | GEN 12:3 | Some will do good to you, I will do good to them. Others will do bad to you, I will do bad to them. As a result of your mob I will do good to all people, in other countries everywhere.” |
303 | GEN 12:4 | After that Abram went in accordance with God's word. At that time he was old, he had 75 years. He took his wife Sarai, his younger brother's son Lot also, he took his animals and belongings. He took his men also, all his workers, he got them in that town Haran. They all went from Haran, they were going southwards, towards the country Canaan they were going. They were going for many days [lit. 'camps, camps they were going']. They arrived there, in Canaan. |
305 | GEN 12:6 | They were going. Partway still in Canaan they rested near a big tree, they made a camp site at what's-its-name, near that tree named Moreh. That tree was near the town Shechem. (At that time Canaan's mob were still living in that country too.) |
306 | GEN 12:7 | After that God appeared to Abram, he said to him, “This very country I will give to your grandchildren's grandchildren and those who come after them.” Because of that Abram gathered stones there, he made a heap. There he worshipped God [lit. 'from the stomach he praised him']. |
307 | GEN 12:8 | After that they went southwards to the hilly country east of what's-that-place, Bethel. They made a camp east of Bethel and west of what's-that-place, Ai, there they put their tents. Again he gathered stones, he made a heap, there he worshipped God. |
308 | GEN 12:9 | After that they were going southwards, camp after camp, they were going towards the desert. |
309 | GEN 12:10 | After that the country became dry, without water, without food. Abram and his animals were staying in a bad way. After that Abram and his mob left that country, they went westwards to that country, to Egypt, to make camp there. |
310 | GEN 12:11 | As they were going Abram said to his wife, “Your face is beautiful. |
314 | GEN 12:15 | Some important ones were looking at her, they liked her, they told their big boss, “Wow! That woman, Abram's younger sister, has a really beautiful face.” The boss said to them, “Bring that woman to me.” They took Sarai to him. |
315 | GEN 12:16 | In return the boss gave Abram many sheep and cows and donkeys and camels and working people, men and women. |
316 | GEN 12:17 | Sarai was stopping in the camp of the big boss. After that God made the boss and his mob sick. A very big sickness came on them. |
317 | GEN 12:18 | After that the boss sent a message to Abram, “Come here.” He growled at him, “You did the wrong thing to me. You lied to me about your wife. |
319 | GEN 12:20 | He told his men to send Abram right away. |
320 | GEN 13:1 | After that Abram left Egypt. He took his wife and his own younger brother's son Lot, he took all his belongings. Going they all returned to the dry country of Canaan. |
