1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

1:1 Fɔlɔ la, Ala ye sankolo ni dugukolo da.

1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

1:2 Dugukolo tun tɛ cogo la, a tun tɛ foyi ye. Dibi tun bɛ dugukolo jugumanba ɲɛda la. Ala Ni y'i lamaga ji la.

1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

1:3 Ala ko: Yeelen ka kɛ.

1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

1:4 Ala ye yeelen ye ko a ka ɲi.

1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

1:5 Ala ye yeelen wele ko Tile, ka dibi wele ko Su. Wula ni sɔgɔma, o kɛra tile fɔlɔ ye.
