2 Ko ia ko e langí mo e māmaní mo e meʻa kotoa ʻi aí naʻe kakato.+ 2 Pea ʻi he aʻu ki he ʻaho hono fitú, naʻe ʻosi fakakakato ʻe he ʻOtuá ia ʻa e ngāue naʻá ne faí, pea naʻe kamata ke ne mālōlō ʻi he ʻaho hono fitú mei heʻene ngāue kotoa naʻá ne faí.+ 3 Pea naʻe hoko atu ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻo ne tāpuakiʻi ʻa e ʻaho hono fitú pea fakahaaʻi ia ʻoku toputapu, he naʻe mālōlō ai ʻa e ʻOtuá mei he ngaahi ngāue kotoa ʻa ia naʻá ne fakatupú, ʻa e meʻa kotoa naʻá ne taumuʻa ke ngaohí.

4 Ko ha hisitōlia eni ʻo e langí mo e māmaní ʻi he taimi naʻe fakatupu ai kinauá, ʻi he ʻaho naʻe ngaohi ai ʻe Sihova* ko e ʻOtuá ʻa e māmaní mo e langí.+

5 Naʻe teʻeki ai ʻi ai ha ʻakau iiki ʻo e ngoué ʻi he māmaní pea naʻe teʻeki ai ʻi ai ha ʻakau kehe ʻo e ngoué ʻe kamata tupu, koeʻuhí naʻe teʻeki ai ke ʻai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ha ʻuha ki he funga ʻo māmaní pea naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ke ne ngoueʻi ʻa e kelekelé. 6 Ka naʻe ʻalu hake ha kakapu mei he māmaní ʻo ne fakaviviku ʻa e funga kelekelé kotoa.

7 Pea naʻe hoko atu ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ʻo ne ngaohi ʻa e tangatá mei he efu+ ʻo e kelekelé peá ne puhiʻi ki hono avaʻi ihú ʻa e mānava moʻuí,+ pea naʻe hoko ʻa e tangatá ko ha tokotaha moʻui.*+ 8 ʻIkai ko ia pē, naʻe tō ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ha ngoue ʻi ʻĪteni,+ ʻi he hahaké; pea naʻá ne tuku ki ai ʻa e tangata naʻá ne ngaohí.+ 9 Ko ia naʻe ʻai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ke tupu mei he kelekelé ʻa e ʻakau kotoa pē naʻe matamatalelei ki he sió pea lelei ki he kaí pea pehē foki ki he ʻakau ʻo e moʻuí+ ʻi he loto ngoué mo e ʻakau ʻo e ʻilo ʻo e leleí mo e koví.+

10 Pea naʻe ʻi ai ha vaitafe naʻe tafe mai mei ʻĪteni ke ne fakaviviku ʻa e ngoué, pea mei aí naʻe māvahevahe ai ki he ngaahi vaitafe ʻe fā. 11 Ko e hingoa ʻo e ʻuluakí ko Pīsoni; ko ia ē ʻoku takatakai ʻi he fonua kotoa ko Havilá, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e koulá. 12 Ko e koula ʻo e fonua ko iá ʻoku lelei. ʻOku toe ʻi he fonua foki ko iá ʻa e toiʻi ʻakau namu-kakala mo e maka ʻōnike. 13 Ko e hingoa ʻo e vaitafe hono uá ko Kīhoni; ko ia ē ʻoku takatakai ʻi he fonua kotoa ko Kusá. 14 Ko e hingoa ʻo e vaitafe hono tolú ko Hitikeli;*+ ko ia ē ʻoku ʻalu ki he fakahahake ʻo ʻAsīliá.+ Pea ko e vaitafe hono faá ko ʻIufaletesi.+

15 Naʻe ʻave ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ʻa e tangatá ʻo ne tuku ia ʻi he ngoue ʻo ʻĪtení ke ne ngoueʻi ia pea mo tokangaʻi ia.+ 16 Naʻe toe ʻoange ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ʻa e fekau ko ení ki he tangatá: “ʻE lava ke ke kai+ mei he ʻakau kotoa pē ʻo e ngoué ʻa ia ʻokú ke saiʻia aí. 17 Ka ko e ʻakau ʻo e ʻilo ʻo e leleí mo e koví, kuo pau ke ʻoua te ke kai mei ai, he ʻi he ʻaho te ke kai ai mei aí ko e moʻoni te ke mate.”+

18 Naʻe folofola leva ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtuá: “ʻOku ʻikai lelei ki he tangatá ke hokohoko atu ʻene nofo toko tahá. Te u ngaohi ha tokoni kiate ia, ko ha fakakakato ʻo ia.”+ 19 Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá mei he kelekelé ʻa e manu kaivao kotoa pē mo e meʻamoʻui kotoa pē ʻoku puna ʻo e langí, pea naʻá ne kamata ʻomai kinautolu ki he tangatá ke sio pe ko e hā te ne ui ʻaki kinautolú taki taha; pea ko e hā pē ha meʻa naʻe uiʻaki ʻe he tangatá ʻa e meʻamoʻui taki taha, naʻe hoko ia ko hono hingoa.+ 20 Ko ia naʻe fakahingoa ʻe he tangatá ʻa e fanga manu lalata kotoa pē mo e ngaahi meʻamoʻui kotoa pē ʻoku puna ʻo e langí mo e manu kaivao kotoa pē, ka ki he tangatá naʻe ʻikai hano tokoni ke hoko ko ha fakakakato kiate ia. 21 Ko ia naʻe ʻai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ʻa e tangatá ke ne mohe maʻu, pea ʻi he lolotonga ʻene mohé, naʻá ne toʻo ʻa e taha ʻo hono ngaahi hui-vakavaká peá ne ʻai leva ke mapuni ʻa e kakanó. 22 Pea naʻe ngaohiʻaki ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ʻa e hui-vakavaka naʻá ne toʻo mei he tangatá ha fefine, peá ne ʻomai ia ki he tangatá.+

23 Naʻe pehē leva ʻe he tangatá:

24 Ko e ʻuhinga ia ʻe tuku ange ai ʻe ha tangata ʻene tamaí mo ʻene faʻeé pea te ne pīkitai ki* hono uaifí, pea te na hoko ko e kakano pē taha.+ 25 Pea ko kinaua fakatouʻosi naʻe hokohoko atu ʻena telefuá,+ ʻa e tangatá mo hono uaifí; ka neongo ia naʻe ʻikai te na mā.
