11 Nzambi anga uzwela wixi: “Mu ixi musabhuke isasa ni idima ibhana jimbutu ni mixi ibhana ibundu, ku idifwa-idifwa, ibhana ibundu yala ni jimbutu.” Kyenyiki anga kibhita.
12 Mu ixi anga mumateka kusabhuka isasa ni idima ibhana jimbutu ni mixi ibhana ibundu ku idifwa-idifwa, ibhana ibundu yala ni jimbutu. Nzambi anga ukimona kuwabha.
13 Bhenyobho kukala usuku ni kimene, o kizuwa kya katatu.
14 Nzambi anga uzwela wixi: “Kukale imwikinu ku dibinza dya dyulu, phala kuwanuna o mwanya ni usuku ni ikale ijimbwete ilondekesa o ithangana,* o izuwa ni mivu.
15 Yanda kala imwikinu ku dibinza dya dyulu phala kumwikina o ixi.” Kyenyiki anga kibhita.
16 Nzambi ubhanga imwikinu iyadi yonene. O kimwikinu kyadikota phala kumwikina mu mwanya, o kimwikinu kyofele phala kumwikina mu usuku. Wabhange we o jithéthembwa.
17 Kyenyiki, Nzambi wa ite ku dibinza dya dyulu phala kumwikina o ixi
18 mu mwanya ni mu usuku, ni kuwanuna o mukengeji ni kitombe. Nzambi anga ukimona kuwabha.
19 Bhenyobho kukala usuku ni kimene, o kizuwa kya kawana.
20 Nzambi anga uzwela wixi: “Mu menya mukale yama yavulu izowela-mu, ku thandu a ixi kubhite yama ni ibamba yala ni mabhabha, ku dibinza dya dyulu.”
21 Nzambi anga ubhanga o yama yonene ya musanza wa kalunga, ni yama yoso yamukwa yendela mu menya mu idifwa-idifwa, ni yama yoso yala ni mabhabha, ituka, mu idifwa-idifwa. Nzambi anga ukimona kuwabha.
22 Mukiki Nzambi wa ibesowala mukuzwela: “Divwalulyenu muvule, mu izalese o menya a kalunga. O yama ni ibamba yala ni mabhabha idivwalule mu ixi.”
23 Bhenyobho kukala usuku ni kimene, o kizuwa kya katanu.
24 Nzambi anga uzwela wixi: “Mu ixi mukale jixitu ja mwenyu mu idifwa-idifwa, ibhaku ni ibamba ni yama* ihuhutila bhoxi, ni yama ya muxitu mu idifwa-idifwa.” Kyenyiki anga kibhita.
25 Nzambi anga ubhanga yama ya muxitu ya ixi mu idifwa-idifwa, o ibhaku mu idifwa-idifwa, ni yama yoso ihuhutila bhoxi mu idifwa-idifwa. Nzambi anga ukimona kuwabha.
26 Nzambi anga uzwela wixi: “Tubhange o muthu mu kidifwanganu kyetu, atumine o jimbiji mu musanza wa kalunga, o yama ni ibamba yala ni mabhabha ibhita bhulu, o ibhaku ni ixi yoso ni yama ihuhutila bhoxi mu ixi.”
27 Nzambi anga ubhanga o muthu mu kidifwanganu kyê. Mu kidifwanganu kya Nzambi mwene wabhange o diyala ni muhatu.
28 Mukusuluka, Nzambi wa abesowala wixi: “Vwalenu mu sokoloke, izalesenu o ixi ni ku itumina, mutumine we o jimbiji mu musanza wa kalunga ni yama ni ibamba yala ni mabhabha ibhita bhulu, ni yama yoso yendela mu ixi.”
29 Nzambi wambe dingi, wixi: “Ngi mibhana o mixi yoso ibhana o jimbutu yala mu ixi yoso, ni mixi yoso ibhana o ibundu ni jimbutu, ikale kudya kwenu.
30 O yangu yawisu ngi ibhana kala kudya phala o yama yoso ya muxitu, o yama yoso ni ibamba yala ni mabhabha ibhita bhulu, ni yoso yala ni mwenyu, yendela bhoxi.” Kyenyiki anga kibhita.
