Ukudalwa komhlaba lomuntu

1Ekuqaleni uNkulunkulu wadala izulu lomhlaba.

2Umhlaba wawungelasimo, wawungelalutho; kwakukhona umnyama phezu kwamanzi, kodwa umoya kaNkulunkulu wayehambahamba phezu kwamanzi.

3UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Kakube khona ukukhanya; kwaba khona ukukhanya.

27UNkulunkulu wasemdala umuntu ngomfanekiso wakhe; wamdala ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu, owesilisa lowesifazana.Gen 5:1, 2 Mat 19:4; Mark 10:6

28UNkulunkulu wababusisa, wathi kibo: Zalani lande, ligcwalise umhlaba liwunqobe, libuse phezu kwenhlanzi zolwandle, lenyoni zaphezulu, lakho konke okuphilayo okuhamba emhlabeni.

29UNkulunkulu wasesithi: Khangelani, ngilinika yonke imibhida ethela inhlanyelo esemhlabeni wonke, lezihlahla zonke ezilezithelo eziveza inhlanyelo, ukuba kube yikudla kwenu.

30Zonke inyamazana zomhlaba lenyoni zonke zaphezulu lakho konke okuhuquzela emhlabeni okuphilayo, nginika zona yonke imibhida eluhlaza ukuba ibe yikudla; kwaba njalo.

31UNkulunkulu wasebona konke akwenzileyo; khangela, kwakukuhle kakhulu. Kwaba khona ukuhlwa lokusa, kwaba lusuku lwesithupha.
