1 Ekuqaleni uNkulunkulu wadala izulu nomhlaba.
2 Umhlaba wawuyize, ungenalutho; Ubumnyama babuphezu kukazamcolo womhlaba futhi uMoya kaNkulunkulu wawundinda phezu kwamanzi.
3 UNkulunkulu wathi: Makube khona ukukhanya, futhi kwaba khona ukukhanya.
4 UNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi ukukhanya kuhle, futhi uNkulunkulu wahlukanisa ukukhanya nobumnyama.
5 UNkulunkulu wabiza ukukhanya ngokuthi yiMini, nobumnyama wabubiza ngokuthi ubusuku. Kwaba sebusuku, kwaba ngukusa. Kwakuwusuku lokuqala.
6 UNkulunkulu wathi: Makube khona umkhathi phakathi kwamanzi, futhi mawuhlukanise amanzi nomkhathi.
7 UNkulunkulu wenza umkhathi futhi wahlukanisa amanzi angaphansi komkhathi namanzi angaphezu komkhathi.
8 UNkulunkulu wabiza umkhathi, futhi kwaba kusihlwa, futhi kusasa, usuku lwesibili.
9 UNkulunkulu wathi: “Amanzi aphansi kwezulu mawaqoqekele ndawonye, kubonakale umhlabathi owomileyo.” kwaba njalo.

14 UNkulunkulu wathi: “Makube khona emkhathini wezulu izinkanyiso zehlukanise imini nobusuku; futhi mazibe izibonakaliso nezinkathi nezinsuku neminyaka.
15 Futhi mabasebenze njengezinkanyiso emkhathini wezulu ukuze zikhanyise emhlabeni; futhi kwenzeka kanje.
16 UNkulunkulu wenza izinkanyiso ezimbili ezinkulu; ukukhanya okukhulu ukubusa emini nokukhanya okuncane ukubusa ebusuku; Wenza nezinkanyezi.
17 UNkulunkulu wazibeka emkhathini wezulu ukuba zikhanyise emhlabeni;
18 Futhi ukubusa imini nobusuku, kanye nokuhlukanisa ukukhanya nobumnyama, futhi uNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi kuhle.
19 Kwaba ngukuhlwa, kwaba kusasa, usuku lwesine.
20 UNkulunkulu wathi: “Amanzi mawagcwale uswebezane lwezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo, nezinyoni ezindiza phezu komhlaba emkhathini wezulu.”
21 UNkulunkulu wenza imikhomo emikhulu nazo zonke izidalwa eziphilayo ezihambayo, amanzi akhiqiza ngobuningi ngezinhlobo zazo, nezinyoni zonke ezinamaphiko ngezinhlobo zazo; uNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi kuhle.
22 UNkulunkulu wazibusisa, wathi: “Zalani, nande, nigcwalise amanzi olwandle, nezinyoni mazande emhlabeni.
23 Kwasekukusihlwa, kusasa kwaba lilanga lesihlanu.
24 UNkulunkulu wathi: “Umhlaba mawuveze izilwane eziphilayo ngezinhlobo zazo: izinkomo, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo, nezilo zomhlaba ngezinhlobo zazo; futhi kwenzeka kanje.
25 UNkulunkulu wazenza izilwane zomhlaba ngezinhlobo zazo, nezinkomo ngezinhlobo zazo, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni ngezinhlobo zazo; uNkulunkulu wabona ukuthi kuhle.
26 UNkulunkulu wathi: Masenze abantu ngomfanekiso wethu, basifuze, babuse phezu kwezinhlanzi zolwandle, phezu kwezinyoni zezulu, naphezu kwezinkomo, naphezu kwazo zonke izilwane ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni wonke.
27 UNkulunkulu wamdala umuntu ngomfanekiso wakhe, wamdala ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu; wabadala owesilisa nowesifazane.
28 UNkulunkulu wababusisa, wathi kubo: Zalani, nande, nihlale emhlabeni, niwulime. Nibuse phezu kwezinhlanzi zolwandle, nezinyoni zezulu, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni.
29 UNkulunkulu wathi: Bhekani, ngiyaninika zonke izimila ezithela imbewu, ezisemhlabeni wonke, nemithi yonke ethela izithelo ethela imbewu; kufanele kube ngukudla kini.
30 Kepha zonke izilwane zomhlaba, nezinyoni zonke zezulu, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni, okukhona kuzo ukuphila, ngazinika zonke izitshalo eziluhlaza zibe ngukudla. Kwenzeka kanje.
31 UNkulunkulu wabheka konke akwenzileyo, wabona ukuthi kwakukuhle kakhulu. Kwahlwa, kwaba kusasa, usuku lwesithupha.

24 Ngokuba igama likaNkulunkulu liyahlanjalazwa phakathi kwabezizwe ngenxa yenu, njengokuba kulotshiwe.
25 Ngokuba ukusoka kuyasiza uma ugcina umthetho;
26 Ngakho-ke uma ongasokile egcina ukulunga komlayo, ukungasoki kwakhe akuyikubalwa yini njengokusoka na?
27 Nongasokile ngokwemvelo, uma egcina umthetho, uyakukwahlulela wena oweqa umthetho ngokomthetho nokusoka na?
28 Ngokuba akusiye umJuda onguye ngokusobala; nokusoka akusikho okungaphandle enyameni;
29 Kodwa umJuda enguye ngaphakathi; nokusoka kungokwenhliziyo emoyeni, kungabi ngokombhalo; okudumisa kwakhe akuveli kubantu, kodwa kuNkulunkulu.
