6 | GEN 1:6 | Then he said, “Sky become, in order to separate the water and the clouds!” |
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. |
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.” |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
224 | GEN 9:18 | Those children of Noah, Shem, Ham and Japheth had children. From them all of us came. [NOTE: Chapter 10 has been omitted at this stage, because it would merely confuse and distract struggling readers.] |
269 | GEN 11:2 | They were going eastwards a bit at a time. They came to a big plain in the east. The name of that country was Shinar. |
270 | GEN 11:3 | They ignored God's word. They said to one another, “Let's not spread out/scatter in all directions. Let's stay united. Let's stay right here, without roaming. Let's make a big camp, let's make a big hill-like (thing) also, extremely big upwards, right up to the sky. Everyone else will talk about us. They will say, 'Those people in Shinar are clever, they are truly smart'.” They got mud, they made bricks, they baked them in the fire to make them hard, they made very many. Joining them they glued them with bitumen. They built, they built. (i.e., they kept building for a long time.) |
296 | GEN 11:29 | Nahor and Haran's daughter Milcah got married. Abram and Sarai got married, those two. |
297 | GEN 11:30 | Sarai could not have a child, she was staying without children. |
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. |
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.) |
313 | GEN 12:14 | They arrived in the country, in Egypt. The inhabitants of the land saw Sarai. They were thinking, “That woman's 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. |
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. |
318 | GEN 12:19 | Why did you say, 'She is a younger sister to me'? Because of your word I took her for a wife. She is your wife. Take her! You two go for good!” |
329 | GEN 13:10 | Lot looked around the country eastward, he saw a plain near the river, the name of that river was Jordan. That was good country, with plenty of water, in good condition all the way to Zoar, like the country Egypt. Two towns were in that plain, Sodom and Gomorrah. |
331 | GEN 13:12 | Abram stayed in Canaan country, Lot made camp on the plain, near the two towns, close to Sodom he made camp. |
332 | GEN 13:13 | Those people in Sodom were disobeyers/ignorers of God. They were really bad. |
338 | GEN 14:1 | Lot was staying in his camp on the plain, inside Sodom. After that people from the east, foreigners, gathered together, they came to hit the inhabitants near Sodom. One man from the east, named Kedorlaomer, was boss for his town, for Elam. That very one had earlier made himself boss for the people near Sodom. He forced them by fighting to give money. Those people near Sodom were giving him money for a long time, 12 years. At last they said to each other, “From now we won't give money to Kedorlaomer, we will withhold it. We will not listen to him.” |
342 | GEN 14:5 | For that reason Kedorlaomer, that Elam boss from the east, and other bosses gathered together, from a few towns they gathered eastwards. They gathered their fighting men together. After that they all went to fight against the inhabitants near Sodom. They were going southwards, they avoided Sodom, that was west of them. They were going southwards, after that westwards, after that northwards, while going through the countries they were killing all the people. At last they came right to Sodom. |
345 | GEN 14:8 | The bosses from those towns, from what's-their-names, Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Bela, those bosses gathered together their fighters, with weapons. They went to meet the ones from the east. In that valley, what's-its-name, Siddim, the people from around Sodom and the ones from the east were fighting. |
347 | GEN 14:10 | In that valley there were many holes in the ground, with what's-its-name, with bitmumen. Those fighters from Sodom and Gomorrah ran away for fear of the fight. Some entered the holes, others ran to the hilly country. |
348 | GEN 14:11 | After that those easterners took for themselves all the food and belongings from Sodom and Gomorrah. |
353 | GEN 14:16 | After that Abram's men got back all the possessions of the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot and his possessions, the women and all the other prisoners. After that they all returned southwards. |
354 | GEN 14:17 | As Abram was returning to the camp that Sodom boss went to meet him in the valley, named Shaveh valley. |
355 | GEN 14:18 | Another man, named Melchizedek, also came to him there, he brought bread and wine for Abram. That Melchizedek was boss for that town Salem. From earlier he was also a ceremonial leader for God, for that Boss who is above. |
358 | GEN 14:21 | That Sodom boss said to Abram, “The belongings which have been brought back you will keep for yourself. I only want my people.” |
363 | GEN 15:2 | Abram answered him, “You are boss for everything. Why will you give me lots of possessions? Still I have no child. After I am dead my worker, that Eliezer, he is the one who will get my possessions. |
383 | GEN 16:1 | Abram was staying in that country, in Canaan, 10 years. He was still childless. That wife of his, Sarai, had not had a child. Sarai was keeping another woman from another country, from Egypt, a working woman for Sarai, her name was Hagar. |
384 | GEN 16:2 | At that time Sarai said to Abram, “Husband, I am childless. God has withheld children from me. Take my working woman, take her for a wife, you two sleep together. Maybe she will have a child for me.” He replied, “Yes.” |
385 | GEN 16:3 | After that Sarai gave that woman Hagar to Abram for a wife. |
386 | GEN 16:4 | They slept together, Hagar and Abram. After that Hagar became pregnant. Because of that she became proud towards her boss, Sarai. “She is just nobody”, said Hagar. |
387 | GEN 16:5 | After that Sarai became angry with Abram. “I gave you my working woman to keep in the camp. Now after becoming pregnant she has beome proud towards me. You are to blame. God will tell you, I am right.” |
388 | GEN 16:6 | Abram said to her, “She is your worker, you are boss for her. Whatever you want with her, do that to her.” After that Sarai was keeping Hagar in a bad way. Because of that Hagar ran away towards the desert. |
390 | GEN 16:8 | There he said to her, “Hagar, you are Sarai's working woman. Where have you come from? Where are you going?” Hagar replied, “I am running from my boss afraid.” |
395 | GEN 16:13 | After that Hagar thought, “Truly it was God I saw, I am really alive, he did not kill me.” She named God, 'The One Who Habitually Sees Me'. |
396 | GEN 16:14 | Because of that she named that well, “The Living One Sees Me”. |
397 | GEN 16:15 | After that Hagar returned to Sarai. After that she had a child for Abram, a boy. |
413 | GEN 17:15 | This other word I am telling you (sg). Your wife, Sarai, she will have another name. From now you will not name her Sarai. You will name her Sarah. |
414 | GEN 17:16 | I will do good to her, I will give you two a child, Sarah will give birth to a child. Sarah's descendents will become many. They will spread out in every direction, they will settle in different countries. Some from among them will become important bosses.” |
415 | GEN 17:17 | Abraham knelt down, his forehead down on the ground. He laughed to himself, he said to himself, “I am very old, I have 100 years. How will I now become a father for my child? Sarah is old also, she has 90 years. How now will she give birth to a child?” |
417 | GEN 17:19 | In reply God said to him, “Truly your wife Sarah, she will give birth to a child. You will name him Isaac. I will look after him, in accord with my word, him and his descendants. They will be my people forever. |
419 | GEN 17:21 | That Isaac, he is the one who will be mine forever. I will be Father to him. Sarah will give birth to him about this time in one year.” In that way God spoke to Abraham. |
421 | GEN 17:23 | There were very many working men in Abraham's camp. Some he had earlier got with money, others earlier had grown up from infancy in his camp. On that very day Abraham gathered all the men in his camp, old ones and children. On that very day in accord with God's word Abraham cut all the men. Another person cut him also. At that time Abraham was an old man, he had 99 years. His son, Ishmael, had 13 years. Truly on that one day those two were cut, Abraham and his son, Ishmael. |
429 | GEN 18:4 | Sit down here a while in the shade of the trees. I will get water for you, you can wash your feet. |
431 | GEN 18:6 | Abraham ran to the tent, he told Sarah, “Be quick! Get flour, cook damper for them.” |
434 | GEN 18:9 | One of those men was really God. He spoke to Abraham, “Where is your wife, Sarah?” “She is in the tent.” |
435 | GEN 18:10 | God said to him, “Truly after a year I will return, Sarah will give birth to a child, she will have a boy.” Nearby, inside the tent, Sarah was listening. |
436 | GEN 18:11 | She laughed to herself, she said to herself, “I am old, my husband also is old. I am very old, I cannot have a child.” |
438 | GEN 18:13 | God said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say to herself, 'I am very old, I cannot have a child.'? |
439 | GEN 18:14 | It is not a puzzle for me. Truly I will do in that way. I will return after a year, truly Sarah will give birth to a child.” In that way God spoke to Abraham. |
440 | GEN 18:15 | With fear Sarah lied to him, “I did not laugh.” He replied, “Truly you laughed.” |
441 | GEN 18:16 | After that those three (previously mentioned) stood up, they went, they were looking towards Sodom. Abraham was going along with them. |
442 | GEN 18:17 | As he was going God was thinking to himself, “Those men in those two towns, the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah, they are really bad. I might kill them dead forever. What shall I do, shall I tell Abraham I might do that? Yes I will tell him. |
445 | GEN 18:20 | After that he said to Abraham, “You know about those people in Sodom and Gomorrah. I have heard about them, they have continually been doing evil. |
447 | GEN 18:22 | After that those other two continued on towards Sodom. God and Abraham stood there. |
448 | GEN 18:23 | Abraham said to him, “Perhaps some in Sodom do good, they might go in the straight way. How will you act? Will you kill those also. |
449 | GEN 18:24 | Perhaps 50 inhabitants of Sodom are good. Will you kill all the inhabitants of Sodom? |
459 | GEN 19:1 | The other two continued on towards Sodom. God sent them, those two were angels. They arrived at the town at sundown. At that time Lot, Abraham's younger brother's son, was sitting at the gate of the town. He saw those two, he went to meet them. He bowed to them with his face downwards. |
462 | GEN 19:4 | While those two were sitting there, Sodom men came to the house. There were young men and old, all the Sodom men, they were standing outside. |
463 | GEN 19:5 | They called out to Lot, “Where are those two men who came to your house? Bring them to us!” Those Sodom men were truly sex-mad, they wanted those two. |
469 | GEN 19:11 | After that they made those Sodom men blind, they could not see. In vain they were searching for the door. |
470 | GEN 19:12 | The two said to Lot, “Who from your family are in this town? Children? Sons-in-law? Tell them they must leave this town. |
471 | GEN 19:13 | Soon we two will truly burn all this town. God knows about the people here, they are very bad. He sent us here to burn everything completely.” |
472 | GEN 19:14 | Lot went to his two sons-in-law, the ones his daughters were promised to, he said to them, “Soon God will burn this town completely. Run quickly from here lest you die!” They ignored him, they were thinking it was like a game, that he was only tricking them. |
482 | GEN 19:24 | After that God sent from the sky things like stones with fire, like that they hit those two towns, Sodom and Gomorrah. All the inhabitants died. God also hit the plain, the country became bad, without grass, without trees. |
484 | GEN 19:26 | Lot's wife ignored the word from the two angels. She looked behind her towards Sodom, salt covered her. That woman died, salt covered her, it made her like a termite mound. |
486 | GEN 19:28 | From the hills he looked toward the plain, towards Sodom and Gomorrah. Smoke was going up in that direction. |
487 | GEN 19:29 | In that way God burned completely the plain and the two towns. Only Lot and his two daughters he sent away from Sodom lest they be killed. God listened to Abraham, he saved Lot. |
496 | GEN 19:38 | The youngest one also gave birth to a child, a boy. She named him Ben-Ammi. They called the ones who came after him Amu's mob. |
515 | GEN 21:1 | After that God's word for Sarah came true for her. Earlier he said to Abraham, “Your wife Sarah will give birth to a child.” In accordance with God's word she had a child, a boy. |
520 | GEN 21:6 | Sarah was very happy, she laughed, “God made me happy. Others when they hear will be happy, they also will laugh. |
523 | GEN 21:9 | Ishmael, Hagar's son, in play was mocking Isaac. Sarah saw those two, she became upset. |
524 | GEN 21:10 | She said to Abraham, “After you die my son, Isaac, he only will get your belongings. That other child, the working woman's child, he will not get your belongings. Send that working woman and her child right away.” |
525 | GEN 21:11 | Sarah's word made Abraham upset. He did not want to send away his own child. |
526 | GEN 21:12 | God spoke to him, “Don't be upset about Ishmael and his mother. Listen to Sarah, do in accordance with her word. Earlier I said to you that I will give you many grandchildren's grandchildren and those who come after them. From Isaac they will come. |
530 | GEN 21:16 | She went a little way off, she sat down. She said to herself, “Truly my son will soon die. I don't want to see that.” She was really crying for the child. |
