创世记 1
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
創造天地萬物
1 起初， 神創造天地。 2 地是空虛混沌；深淵上一片黑暗； 神的靈運行在水面上。 3 神說：“要有光！”就有了光。 4 神看光是好的，他就把光暗分開了。 5 神稱光為晝，稱暗為夜。有晚上，有早晨；這是第一日。
6 神說：“眾水之間要有穹蒼，把水和水分開！”事就這樣成了。 7 神造了穹蒼，把穹蒼以下的水和穹蒼以上的水分開了。 8 神稱穹蒼為天。有晚上，有早晨；這是第二日。
9 神說：“天下的水要聚在一處，使旱地露出來！”事就這樣成了。 10 神稱旱地為地，稱水的聚處為海。 神看這是好的。 11 神說：“地上要長出青草、結種子的蔬菜和結果子的樹木，各從其類，在地上的果子都包著核！”事就這樣成了。 12 於是，地上長出了青草和結種子的蔬菜，各從其類；又長出結果子的樹木，各從其類，果子都包著核。 神看這是好的。 13 有晚上，有早晨；這是第三日。
14 神說：“在天上穹蒼中，要有光體來分晝夜；這些光體要作為記號，定節令、日子和年歲； 15 它們要在天上穹蒼中發光，照耀地上！”事就這樣成了。 16 於是， 神造了兩個大光體，大的管晝，小的管夜；又造了星星。 17 神把這些光體安放在天上穹蒼中，照耀地上， 18 管晝夜，分光暗。 神看這是好的。 19 有晚上，有早晨；這是第四日。
20 神說：“水要滋長生物；地上和天空之中，要有雀鳥飛翔！” 21 於是， 神創造了大魚和在水中滋生各種能活動的生物，各從其類；又創造了各種有翅膀的飛鳥，各從其類。 神看這是好的。 22 神就賜福給牠們，說：“要繁衍增多，充滿海洋；雀鳥也要在地上增多！” 23 有晚上，有早晨；這是第五日。
24 神說：“地上要生出活物來，各從其類；牲畜、爬行的動物和地上的野獸，各從其類！”事就這樣成了。 25 於是， 神造了地上的野獸，各從其類；牲畜，各從其類；地上各種爬行的動物，各從其類。 神看這是好的。
創造人類
26 神說：“我們要照著我們的形象，按著我們的樣式造人；使他們管理海裡的魚、空中的鳥、地上的牲畜，以及全地，和地上所有爬行的生物！” 27 於是， 神照著自己的形象創造人；就是照著 神的形象創造了他；他所創造的有男有女。 28 神就賜福給他們，對他們說：“要繁衍增多，充滿這地，征服它；也要管理海裡的魚、空中的鳥和地上所有走動的生物。” 29 神說：“看哪！我把全地上結種子的各樣蔬菜，和一切果樹上有種子的果子，都賜給你們作食物。 30 至於地上的各種野獸，空中的各種飛鳥，和地上爬行有生命的各種活物，我把一切青草蔬菜賜給牠們作食物。”事就這樣成了。 31 神看他所造的一切都很好。有晚上，有早晨；這是第六日。
Genesis 1
New International Reader's Version
The Beginning
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth didn’t have any shape. And it was empty. There was darkness over the surface of the waves. At that time, the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 God said, “Let there be light.” And there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good. He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day.” He called the darkness “night.” There was evening, and there was morning. It was day one.
6 God said, “Let there be a huge space between the waters. Let it separate water from water.” 7 And that’s exactly what happened. God made the huge space between the waters. He separated the water under the space from the water above it. 8 God called the huge space “sky.” There was evening, and there was morning. It was day two.
9 God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered into one place. Let dry ground appear.” And that’s exactly what happened. 10 God called the dry ground “land.” He called all the water that was gathered together “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, “Let the land produce plants. Let them produce their own seeds. And let there be trees on the land that grow fruit with seeds in it. Let each kind of plant or tree have its own kind of seeds.” And that’s exactly what happened. 12 So the land produced plants. Each kind of plant had its own kind of seeds. And the land produced trees that grew fruit with seeds in it. Each kind of tree had its own kind of seeds. God saw that it was good. 13 There was evening, and there was morning. It was day three.
14 God said, “Let there be lights in the huge space of the sky. Let them separate the day from the night. Let the lights set the times for the holy celebrations and the days and the years. 15 Let them be lights in the huge space of the sky to give light on the earth.” And that’s exactly what happened. 16 God made two great lights. He made the larger light to rule over the day and the smaller light to rule over the night. He also made the stars. 17 God put the lights in the huge space of the sky to give light on the earth. 18 He put them there to rule over the day and the night. He put them there to separate light from darkness. God saw that it was good. 19 There was evening, and there was morning. It was day four.
20 God said, “Let the seas be filled with living things. Let birds fly above the earth across the huge space of the sky.” 21 So God created the great sea creatures. He created every kind of living thing that fills the seas and moves about in them. He created every kind of bird that flies. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them. He said, “Have little ones so that there will be many of you. Fill the water in the seas. Let there be more and more birds on the earth.” 23 There was evening, and there was morning. It was day five.
24 God said, “Let the land produce every kind of living creature. Let there be livestock, and creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals.” And that’s exactly what happened. 25 God made every kind of wild animal. He made every kind of livestock. He made every kind of creature that moves along the ground. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, “Let us make human beings so that they are like us. Let them rule over the fish in the seas and the birds in the sky. Let them rule over the livestock and all the wild animals. And let them rule over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27 So God created human beings in his own likeness.
He created them to be like himself.
He created them as male and female.
28 God blessed them. He said to them, “Have children so that there will be many of you. Fill the earth and bring it under your control. Rule over the fish in the seas and the birds in the sky. Rule over every living creature that moves along the ground.”
29 Then God said, “I am giving you every plant on the face of the whole earth that produces its own seeds. I am giving you every tree that has fruit with seeds in it. All of them will be given to you for food. 30 I am giving every green plant as food for all the land animals and for all the birds in the sky. I am also giving the plants to all the creatures that move along the ground. I am giving them to every living thing that breathes.” And that’s exactly what happened.
31 God saw everything he had made. And it was very good. There was evening, and there was morning. It was day six.
