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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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.” |
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. |
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. |
29 | GEN 1:29 | I made different foods for you (all), all the foods from trees and green plants I am giving you. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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?” |
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. |
64 | GEN 3:8 | In the evening they heard the footsteps of God while he was walking at the water-hole. With fear they hid themselves among the trees on account of God. |
68 | GEN 3:12 | The man said to him, “You gave me this woman. She [emphasised] gave me (food) from that tree. I ate the food.” |
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. |
76 | GEN 3:20 | That man gave his wife the name Eve. She is the mother for us all. |
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. |
83 | GEN 4:3 | Once Cain took food, he gave it to God. |
84 | GEN 4:4 | His younger brother took a sheep, he killed it, he gave good parts to God. Abel pleased God. |
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.] |
91 | GEN 4:11 | In response I will do evil to you because of him/it. The ground will stay bad for you. |
93 | GEN 4:13 | Cain said to him, “You have made it extremely hard for me. |
95 | GEN 4:15 | God said to him, “Whoever hits/kills you I will hit/kill him truly because of you.” |
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.” |
146 | GEN 6:8 | Just one man pleased God. His name was Noah, he used to listen to God. He used to do good. He didn't do evil. He had three children, three males, their names were Shem, Ham, Japheth. |
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. |
156 | GEN 6:18 | You will enter it with your wife and your children and their wives. Gather animals and birds, cause them to enter the big boat. Collect them, animals, married-pair by married-pair, you will get different kinds pair by pair to make them enter the big boat. You will keep them alive from the flood. |
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. |
179 | GEN 7:19 | There was a really big flood. The water lifted the boat like flotsam, it stayed on top of the water. The flood completely covered the hills and trees. |
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. |
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. |
199 | GEN 8:15 | Then God said to Noah, “You (pl) get down and make the animals and birds get down. They've got to scatter. They have to become many everywhere.” |
204 | GEN 8:20 | Noah heaped up stones. He got a few tame animals and tame birds to give to God. He killed them, on top of the stones he burned/cooked them, bones and all, completely dry, to ashes. They used to do that in the beginning, in order to please God. |
205 | GEN 8:21 | In return God said to Noah, “Previously I made it bad for the whole earth because of the evil that people did. I won't do like that again. I know about people. From childhood they are thinking only about how to do really bad (things). I will not again kill people and all creatures truly because of the evil that people have done. I did it once. I won't do it again. |
