1:1 I dtús chruthaigh Dia na neamh agus an talamh.

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

1:2 Agus bhí an talamh gan foirm, agus ar neamhní; agus bhí dorchadas ar aghaidh na doimhne. Agus do ghluais Spiorad Dé ar aghaidh na n-uiscí.

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.

1:3 Agus dúirt Dia, Go mbeadh solas: agus bhí solas.

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

1:4 Agus chonaic Dia an solas, go raibh sé go maith: agus Dia roinnte ar an solas as an dorchadas.

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

1:5 Agus d'iarr Dia an solas Lá, agus an dorchadas ghlaoigh sé Oíche. Agus b'iad an tráthnóna agus an mhaidin an chéad lá.

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