God all things made.
Long ago sun not, and moon not, or
stars; and creature not living. Also earth,
we upon it, earth (was) not.
Great God all made. Earth at first dark,
not shape in it. Darkness upon water sat.
Trees not growing on earth, bushes not,
men not, horses not, and kangaroo not,
emu not.
God all made three and three days.
First day; God said; “Light come!"
Instantly light came. God the light saw;
the light was good ; God light separated
from darkness. God the light named
day; He darkness named night. Evening
and morning, day one.
Day second; God the sky made. Day
three; God said; "All waters to one
bring; and dry land appear." Afterwards
He water named sea; and dry land
named earth; He trees made and grass;
grass grew, earth it covered.
Two and two day; God sun and moon
made; He said; sun shall shine; after-
wards it shall set. Also he stars made.
