Them go be signs to show seasons and days and years. 15 Them go shine as light for the open space wey dey the heavens to bring light for the earth. And na so e come be. 16 God come make the two bright lights. The light wey bright pass go de shine for* daytime, and the light wey no shine reach that one go de shine for* night. And e still make the stars. 17 So God put them for the open space wey dey the heavens to shine for the earth 18 and to shine for daytime and for night,* and to separate light and darkness.

And God see say e dey good. 22 So God bless them, e talk say: “Make una born and plenty and full the water for the sea, and make things wey de fly plenty for the earth.” 23 And so evening dey and morning dey, this one na the fifth day.

And make una de control the fish for the sea, and the things wey de fly for the heavens, and everything wey get life wey de move for the earth.”

Make them be food for una. 30 And all the bush animal for the earth, all the things wey de fly for the heavens, and everything wey de move for the earth wey get life,* I don give all the green plant as food to them.” And na so e come be.
