In the Beginning

In the beginning of this worldGod had createdThe moon and sun1for2this worldThe land below and the firmament aboveGod had establishedThe circle3of life.

Like a canoe out at sea4Propelled by the winds, windsThe navel5is the connection of ages pastA guide, a signFor the hereafter, the hereafter.

In the beginning of this worldGod had createdThe moon and sun for this worldThe land below and the firmament aboveGod had establishedThe circle of life.

The connection that bindsWithin the earth and skyFrom it sprouts6forth peace,Wisdom, (and) the breath of lifeThe connection that bindsWithin the earth and skyFrom it, from it sprouts forthAll life.

In the beginning of this worldGod had createdThe moon and sun for this worldThe land below and the firmament aboveGod had establishedThe circle of life.

From it, from it sprouts forth all life.
