UGenesise 1

27UNkulunkulu wamdala umuntu ngomfanekiso wakhe; wamdala ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu; wabadala owesilisa nowesifazane.

28UNkulunkulu wababusisa; uNkulunkulu wathi kubo: “Zalani, nande, nigcwalise umhlaba, niwunqobe, nibuse phezu kwezinhlanzi zolwandle, nezinyoni zezulu, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni.” 29UNkulunkulu wathi: “Bhekani, ngiyaninika yonke imifino ethela imbewu, esemhlabeni wonke, nemithi yonke okukuyo izithelo zomuthi oveza imbewu, kube ngukudla kwenu. 30Kepha zonke izilwane zomhlaba, nezinyoni zonke zezulu, nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo emhlabeni, eziphefumulayo, zona nginike yonke imifino eluhlaza ibe ngukudla,” kwaba njalo. 31UNkulunkulu wabona konke akwenzileyo; bheka, kwakukuhle kakhulu. Kwaba ngukuhlwa, kwaba ngukusa, usuku lwesithupha.

UGenesise 1:27-31ZUL59NOVula kumfundi weBhayibheli

In the book of Genesis, we find a portrayal of God’s act of creation. The two creation narratives of Genesis 1 and 2 depict the goodness in creation and the harmonious existence between human beings and the rest of creation. The Spirit of God that hovered over the waters (1:2) breathed life into all that God created.

God made light and darkness and separated water from the sky and land from water. God then created vegetation, the sun and moon to govern day and night, living creatures on the land and in the sea and humans. God summed up each phase of creation as ‘good’.
