The birth of the Universe

The birth of universe

Taiova the Creator looks at the emptiness around him,

and sees that there is no space and time,
and sees that there is no beginning and no end,
and sees that there is no shape and dimension,

Taiova then makes a decision,

and eliminates the emptiness around him,
and creates the fullness,
and places it in place of the emptiness,

and there will be space and time,
and there will be start and end,
and there will be shape and dimension,

and Taiova spins a plan,

and to implement his plan a partner is needed
and to implement his plan he creates a partner for himself,
He names the partner as Sotuknang,

and Sotuknang connects the space and time,
and Sotuknang arranges the beginning and end
and Sotuknang gives shape to the dimensions

and the universe comes into existence,
and so Taiova’s plan is implemented.
