2 | GEN 1:2 | That ground was just staying purposeless. Water was obscuring everything, water was covering everything. In every direction it was dark. His spirit was going above the water. |
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. |
6 | GEN 1:6 | Then he said, “Sky become, in order to separate the water and the clouds!” |
8 | GEN 1:8 | That sky he named, 'sky-that'. After that it became night, after that it became dawn. Another day appeared. |
9 | GEN 1:9 | Then he said, “Water go down, become in one place, dry ground appear, become visible!” That happened. The water went down, it left the ground visible. |
10 | GEN 1:10 | That dry ground he named, 'country-that'. That big water he named, 'sea-that'. When he saw it he said “Good”. |
13 | GEN 1:13 | After that it became night, after that it became dawn. Another day appeared. |
14 | GEN 1:14 | Then he said, “Lights become above in the sky, in order to light the countryside. They should give light in the night and in the day. They should keep winter and summer straight.” That happened. |
16 | GEN 1:16 | He made two big ones, the sun and the moon. The big one should make it light truly from dawn right up to evening. The small one should make it light truly in the night. He made the stars also. |
19 | GEN 1:19 | After that it became night, after that it became dawn. Another day appeared. |
20 | GEN 1:20 | Then he said, “Many different kinds of water dwellers become in the water-holes and in the sea. Birds become to go above. [Birds: lit. 'winged things' — includes insects] |
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.” |
22 | GEN 1:22 | He spoke well to them. He spoke to them all, “I will take care of you. You will truly become many, and many children you will have/care for truly.” |
23 | GEN 1:23 | After that it became night, after that it became dawn. Another day appeared. |
24 | GEN 1:24 | Then he said, “Different kinds of animals become on the ground, to live in the countryside, to go about on the ground, plains-dwelling animals and hills-dwellers, big ones and small ones!” That happened. |
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.” |
28 | GEN 1:28 | He spoke well to these two, “You will control/have/take care of many children truly. Truly people will be everywhere, you (pl.) will be boss for all the animals. You will be boss for the fish and winged creatures and all animals and for all those 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'. |
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.” |
49 | GEN 2:18 | Then he said, “The man should not be alone. I will make a companion for him, he will be one with a companion.” |
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. |
52 | GEN 2:21 | Then God put the man to sleep, he got a bone from the man's side, then he covered the hole with flesh. |
53 | GEN 2:22 | From the bone he made a woman, he took her to the man. |
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. |
61 | GEN 3:5 | If you eat (after eating) from that tree, you will become like God, knowing about good and about bad. God doesn't like that. To avoid that he said to you, 'Don't eat from that tree'.” With deceit the snake said to her, “Don't listen to God.” |
62 | GEN 3:6 | The woman was looking at the food, looking with interest, it was good. She was thinking, “That food will make me knowledgeable.” The woman wanted to become knowledgeable, like God. Then she went to that tree, broke off food, ate it. She gave some to her husband. He also ate it. |
63 | GEN 3:7 | They understood, they saw themselves that they were naked. Then they became ashamed. Because of that they made for themselves pubic covers from big leaves. |
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?” |
69 | GEN 3:13 | God asked the woman, “What did you do?” She said to him, “The snake deceived me. I ate because of his word.” |
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.” |
72 | GEN 3:16 | To the woman he said, “I will give you a lot of pain when you have a child. Knowing about pain when you have a child, continually you will long for a/the man. He will be a boss for you truly.” |
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. |
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.” |
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. |
85 | GEN 4:5 | Cain did not please him. Because of that Cain was (habitually) angry. His face changed (became different). |
86 | GEN 4:6 | God said to him, “Why are you angry with me? Why did your face change towards me? You should not be sullen. |
87 | GEN 4:7 | If you did right you would have been happy. You were doing badly. You should straighten yourself up to do good. If you do that you will make me happy. If you don't you will keep doing evil.” [Missed concept of need to resist temptation.] |
88 | GEN 4:8 | Cain didn't listen to God. He kept on being sullen. Because of that he said to his younger brother, “Let's go somewhere a long way off.” They went off. Then Cain killed his younger brother. |
89 | GEN 4:9 | Because of that God asked him, “Where is your younger brother?” The eldest one lied, “I don't know. I don't take care of him.” |
90 | GEN 4:10 | God said to him, “You lied. You killed him. His blood is on the ground. You truly did badly. |
91 | GEN 4:11 | In response I will do evil to you because of him/it. The ground will stay bad for you. |
94 | GEN 4:14 | I will go about to other places. Perhaps someone will kill me.” |
95 | GEN 4:15 | God said to him, “Whoever hits/kills you I will hit/kill him truly because of you.” |
97 | GEN 4:17 | His wife had a child named Enoch. Cain built a town. He named that town for his child, he named that town Enoch also. [4:18-24 omitted.] |
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. |
152 | GEN 6:14 | You make a really big boat for fear of the flood. The flood will carry it on top. Make it very big and long and wide. You will make it from wood. |
155 | GEN 6:17 | I will make a big flood for them. The big water will swallow them. You I will keep alive. |
