Сотворение мира

В начале Всевышний[a] сотворил небо и землю. Земля была пуста и безлика, тьма была над бездной, и Дух Всевышнего парил над водами.

И сказал Всевышний: «Да будет свет», и появился свет. Всевышний увидел, что свет хорош, и отделил его от тьмы. Он назвал свет «днём», а тьму – «ночью». И был вечер, и было утро – день первый.

И сказал Всевышний: «Да будет свод между водами, чтобы отделить воду от воды». Всевышний создал свод и отделил воду под сводом от воды над ним; и стало так. И Он назвал свод «небом». И был вечер, и было утро – день второй.

И сказал Всевышний: «Да соберутся вместе воды под небом, и да появится суша». И стало так. 10 Назвал Он сушу «землёй», а собранные воды назвал «морями». И увидел Всевышний, что это хорошо. 11 И сказал Он: «Да произведёт земля растительность: растения с их семенами и различные виды деревьев на земле, которые приносят плод с семенем внутри». И стало так. 12 Земля произвела растительность: разные виды растений, приносящих семя, и все виды деревьев, приносящих плод с семенем внутри. И увидел Всевышний, что это хорошо. 13 И был вечер, и было утро – день третий.

14 И сказал Всевышний: «Да будут светила на небесном своде, чтобы отделять день от ночи, и пусть они служат знаками, чтобы различать времена, дни и годы, 15 и пусть они будут светильниками на небесном своде, чтобы светить на землю». И стало так. 16 Всевышний создал два великих светила – большое светило, чтобы управлять днём, и малое светило, чтобы управлять ночью, а также Он создал и звёзды. 17 Всевышний поместил их на небесном своде, чтобы они светили на землю, 18 управляли днём и ночью и отделяли свет от тьмы. И увидел Всевышний, что это хорошо. 19 И был вечер, и было утро – день четвёртый.

20 И сказал Всевышний: «Да наполнится вода живностью, и да полетят над землёй по небосводу птицы». 21 Всевышний создал огромных морских тварей, разные виды движущейся живности, кишащей в воде, и разные виды крылатой птицы. И увидел Он, что это хорошо. 22 Всевышний благословил их и сказал: «Плодитесь и размножайтесь, наполняйте воды в морях, и пусть птицы множатся на земле». 23 И был вечер, и было утро – день пятый.

24 И сказал Всевышний: «Да произведёт земля разные виды живности: скот, пресмыкающихся и диких зверей». И стало так. 25 Всевышний создал разные виды диких зверей, и скота, и все виды пресмыкающихся. И увидел Он, что это хорошо.

26 Потом Всевышний сказал: «Создадим человека[b] – Наш образ и Наше подобие (в духовном плане), – пусть он царствует над рыбами морскими и птицами небесными, над скотом, над всей землёй и над всеми пресмыкающимися». 27 Так Всевышний создал человека, по образу Своему, по образу Всевышнего сотворил его, создал их как мужчину и женщину.

28 Всевышний благословил их и сказал: «Плодитесь и размножайтесь; наполняйте землю и владейте ею. Царствуйте над рыбами морскими, и птицами небесными, и над всеми пресмыкающимися».

29 Затем Всевышний сказал: «Я даю вам все растения с семенами по всей земле и все деревья, дающие плод с семенем внутри; они будут вам в пропитание. 30 И всем зверям земным, и всем птицам небесным, и всем пресмыкающимся – всем, в ком дышит жизнь, – Я даю в пищу всякую зелень». И стало так.

31 Всевышний посмотрел на всё, что Он создал, и всё было очень хорошо. И был вечер, и было утро – день шестой.

The Beginning

In the beginning(A) God created(B) the heavens(C) and the earth.(D) Now the earth was formless(E) and empty,(F) darkness was over the surface of the deep,(G) and the Spirit of God(H) was hovering(I) over the waters.

And God said,(J) “Let there be light,” and there was light.(K) God saw that the light was good,(L) and he separated the light from the darkness.(M) God called(N) the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.”(O) And there was evening, and there was morning(P)—the first day.

And God said,(Q) “Let there be a vault(R) between the waters(S) to separate water from water.” So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it.(T) And it was so.(U) God called(V) the vault “sky.”(W) And there was evening, and there was morning(X)—the second day.

And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place,(Y) and let dry ground(Z) appear.” And it was so.(AA) 10 God called(AB) the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters(AC) he called “seas.”(AD) And God saw that it was good.(AE)

11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation:(AF) seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.(AG)” And it was so.(AH) 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds(AI) and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.(AJ) 13 And there was evening, and there was morning(AK)—the third day.

14 And God said, “Let there be lights(AL) in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night,(AM) and let them serve as signs(AN) to mark sacred times,(AO) and days and years,(AP) 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so.(AQ) 16 God made two great lights—the greater light(AR) to govern(AS) the day and the lesser light to govern(AT) the night.(AU) He also made the stars.(AV) 17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night,(AW) and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.(AX) 19 And there was evening, and there was morning(AY)—the fourth day.

20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures,(AZ) and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.”(BA) 21 So God created(BB) the great creatures of the sea(BC) and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it,(BD) according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind.(BE) And God saw that it was good.(BF) 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.”(BG) 23 And there was evening, and there was morning(BH)—the fifth day.

24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures(BI) according to their kinds:(BJ) the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so.(BK) 25 God made the wild animals(BL) according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds.(BM) And God saw that it was good.(BN)

26 Then God said, “Let us(BO) make mankind(BP) in our image,(BQ) in our likeness,(BR) so that they may rule(BS) over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky,(BT) over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

27 So God created(BU) mankind(BV) in his own image,(BW)
    in the image of God(BX) he created them;
    male and female(BY) he created them.(BZ)

28 God blessed them and said to them,(CA) “Be fruitful and increase in number;(CB) fill the earth(CC) and subdue it. Rule over(CD) the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.(CE)

29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.(CF) 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life(CG) in it—I give every green plant for food.(CH)” And it was so.

31 God saw all that he had made,(CI) and it was very good.(CJ) And there was evening, and there was morning(CK)—the sixth day.

The Creation of the World

In the (A)beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was (B)without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

And God said, (C)“Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

And God said, (D)“Let there be an expanse[a] in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” And God made[b] the expanse and (E)separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were (F)above the expanse. And it was so. And God called the expanse Heaven.[c] And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.

And God said, (G)“Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry land Earth,[d] and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, (H)“Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants[e] yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.

14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for (I)signs and for (J)seasons,[f] and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 16 And God (K)made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 to (L)rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.

20 And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds[g] fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” 21 So (M)God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, (N)“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.

24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

26 Then God said, (O)“Let us make man[h] in our image, (P)after our likeness. And (Q)let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

27 So God created man in his own image,
    in the image of God he created him;
    (R)male and female he created them.

28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, (S)“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. (T)You shall have them for food. 30 And (U)to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 (V)And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
