创世记 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
上帝创造天地
1 太初，上帝创造了天地。 2 那时，大地空虚混沌，还没有成形，黑暗笼罩着深渊，上帝的灵运行在水面上。 3 上帝说：“要有光！”就有了光。 4 上帝看光是好的，就把光和暗分开， 5 称光为昼，称暗为夜。晚上过去，早晨到来，这是第一天[a]。 6 上帝说：“水与水之间要有穹苍，把水分开。” 7 果然如此。上帝开辟了穹苍，用穹苍将水上下分开。 8 上帝称穹苍为天空。晚上过去，早晨到来，这是第二天。
9 上帝说：“天空下面的水要聚在一处，使干地露出来。”果然如此。 10 上帝称干地为陆地，称水汇聚的地方为海洋。上帝看了，感到满意。 11 上帝说：“陆地要长出植物——各类结种子的菜蔬和结果子的树木，果子内都有籽。”果然如此， 12 陆地长出了植物——各类结种子的菜蔬和结果子的树木，果子内都有籽。上帝看了，感到满意。 13 晚上过去，早晨到来，这是第三天。
14 上帝说：“天空要有光体，以区分昼夜，作记号，定节令，计算年日， 15 发光普照大地。”果然如此。 16 上帝造了两个大光体，较大的管白昼，较小的管黑夜，又造了星辰。 17 上帝把这些光体摆列在天空，让它们发光普照大地， 18 管理昼夜，分开明暗。上帝看了，感到满意。 19 晚上过去，早晨到来，这是第四天。
20 上帝说：“水中要充满各种动物，空中要有禽鸟飞翔。” 21 上帝就造了海中的大鱼等各类水族和各类禽鸟。上帝看了，感到满意。 22 上帝赐福给这一切生物，说：“水族要生养繁殖，充满海洋，禽鸟也要在地上多多地繁殖。” 23 晚上过去，早晨到来，这是第五天。 24 上帝说：“大地要繁衍各类动物——各类的牲畜、爬虫和野兽。”果然如此。 25 上帝造了各类的野兽、牲畜和爬虫。上帝看了，感到满意。
上帝照自己的形象造人
26 上帝说：“我们要照着我们的形象，按着我们的样子造人，让他们管理海里的鱼、空中的鸟和地上的牲畜及一切爬虫。” 27 上帝就照着自己的形象造了人，祂照着自己的形象造了男人和女人。 28 上帝赐福给他们，对他们说：“你们要生养众多，遍布地面，治理大地，管理海里的鱼、空中的鸟以及地上的各种动物。” 29 上帝对人说：“看啊，我把地上所有结种子的菜蔬和所有树上有籽的果子都赐给你们作食物。 30 我把植物赐给所有地上的走兽、空中的飞鸟及地上的爬虫作食物。”果然如此。 31 上帝看了，感到非常满意。晚上过去，早晨到来，这是第六天。

I. LE ORIGINI DEL MONDO E DELL'UMANITA'
1. LA CREAZIONE E LA CADUTA
Primo racconto della creazione
1 In principio Dio creò il cielo e la terra. 2 Ora la terra era informe e deserta e le tenebre ricoprivano l'abisso e lo spirito di Dio aleggiava sulle acque.
3 Dio disse: «Sia la luce!». E la luce fu. 4 Dio vide che la luce era cosa buona e separò la luce dalle tenebre 5 e chiamò la luce giorno e le tenebre notte. E fu sera e fu mattina: primo giorno.
6 Dio disse: «Sia il firmamento in mezzo alle acque per separare le acque dalle acque». 7 Dio fece il firmamento e separò le acque, che sono sotto il firmamento, dalle acque, che son sopra il firmamento. E così avvenne. 8 Dio chiamò il firmamento cielo. E fu sera e fu mattina: secondo giorno.
9 Dio disse: «Le acque che sono sotto il cielo, si raccolgano in un solo luogo e appaia l'asciutto». E così avvenne. 10 Dio chiamò l'asciutto terra e la massa delle acque mare. E Dio vide che era cosa buona. 11 E Dio disse: «La terra produca germogli, erbe che producono seme e alberi da frutto, che facciano sulla terra frutto con il seme, ciascuno secondo la sua specie». E così avvenne: 12 la terra produsse germogli, erbe che producono seme, ciascuna secondo la propria specie e alberi che fanno ciascuno frutto con il seme, secondo la propria specie. Dio vide che era cosa buona. 13 E fu sera e fu mattina: terzo giorno.
14 Dio disse: «Ci siano luci nel firmamento del cielo, per distinguere il giorno dalla notte; servano da segni per le stagioni, per i giorni e per gli anni 15 e servano da luci nel firmamento del cielo per illuminare la terra». E così avvenne: 16 Dio fece le due luci grandi, la luce maggiore per regolare il giorno e la luce minore per regolare la notte, e le stelle. 17 Dio le pose nel firmamento del cielo per illuminare la terra 18 e per regolare giorno e notte e per separare la luce dalle tenebre. E Dio vide che era cosa buona. 19 E fu sera e fu mattina: quarto giorno.
20 Dio disse: «Le acque brulichino di esseri viventi e uccelli volino sopra la terra, davanti al firmamento del cielo». 21 Dio creò i grandi mostri marini e tutti gli esseri viventi che guizzano e brulicano nelle acque, secondo la loro specie, e tutti gli uccelli alati secondo la loro specie. E Dio vide che era cosa buona. 22 Dio li benedisse: «Siate fecondi e moltiplicatevi e riempite le acque dei mari; gli uccelli si moltiplichino sulla terra». 23 E fu sera e fu mattina: quinto giorno.
24 Dio disse: «La terra produca esseri viventi secondo la loro specie: bestiame, rettili e bestie selvatiche secondo la loro specie». E così avvenne: 25 Dio fece le bestie selvatiche secondo la loro specie e il bestiame secondo la propria specie e tutti i rettili del suolo secondo la loro specie. E Dio vide che era cosa buona. 26 E Dio disse: «Facciamo l'uomo a nostra immagine, a nostra somiglianza, e domini sui pesci del mare e sugli uccelli del cielo, sul bestiame, su tutte le bestie selvatiche e su tutti i rettili che strisciano sulla terra».
27 Dio creò l'uomo a sua immagine;
a immagine di Dio lo creò;
maschio e femmina li creò.
28 Dio li benedisse e disse loro:
«Siate fecondi e moltiplicatevi,
riempite la terra;
soggiogatela e dominate
sui pesci del mare
e sugli uccelli del cielo
e su ogni essere vivente,
che striscia sulla terra».
29 Poi Dio disse: «Ecco, io vi do ogni erba che produce seme e che è su tutta la terra e ogni albero in cui è il frutto, che produce seme: saranno il vostro cibo. 30 A tutte le bestie selvatiche, a tutti gli uccelli del cielo e a tutti gli esseri che strisciano sulla terra e nei quali è alito di vita, io do in cibo ogni erba verde». E così avvenne. 31 Dio vide quanto aveva fatto, ed ecco, era cosa molto buona. E fu sera e fu mattina: sesto giorno.

Parashah 1: B’resheet (In the beginning) 1:1–6:8
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was unformed and void, darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God hovered over the surface of the water. 3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. So there was evening, and there was morning, one day.
6 God said, “Let there be a dome in the middle of the water; let it divide the water from the water.” 7 God made the dome and divided the water under the dome from the water above the dome; that is how it was, 8 and God called the dome Sky. So there was evening, and there was morning, a second day.
9 God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered together into one place, and let dry land appear,” and that is how it was. 10 God called the dry land Earth, the gathering together of the water he called Seas, and God saw that it was good.
11 God said, “Let the earth put forth grass, seed-producing plants, and fruit trees, each yielding its own kind of seed-bearing fruit, on the earth”; and that is how it was. 12 The earth brought forth grass, plants each yielding its own kind of seed, and trees each producing its own kind of seed-bearing fruit; and God saw that it was good. 13 So there was evening, and there was morning, a third day.
(A: ii) 14 God said, “Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to divide the day from the night; let them be for signs, seasons, days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the dome of the sky to give light to the earth”; and that is how it was. 16 God made the two great lights — the larger light to rule the day and the smaller light to rule the night — and the stars. 17 God put them in the dome of the sky to give light to the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. 19 So there was evening, and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 God said, “Let the water swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open dome of the sky.” 21 God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that creeps, so that the water swarmed with all kinds of them, and there was every kind of winged bird; and God saw that it was good. 22 Then God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, multiply and fill the water of the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 So there was evening, and there was morning, a fifth day.
(A: iii) 24 God said, “Let the earth bring forth each kind of living creature — each kind of livestock, crawling animal and wild beast”; and that is how it was. 25 God made each kind of wild beast, each kind of livestock and every kind of animal that crawls along the ground; and God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, in the likeness of ourselves; and let them rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the animals, and over all the earth, and over every crawling creature that crawls on the earth.”
27 So God created humankind in his own image;
in the image of God he created him:
male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them: God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air and every living creature that crawls on the earth.” 29 Then God said, “Here! Throughout the whole earth I am giving you as food every seed-bearing plant and every tree with seed-bearing fruit. 30 And to every wild animal, bird in the air and creature crawling on the earth, in which there is a living soul, I am giving as food every kind of green plant.” And that is how it was. 31 God saw everything that he had made, and indeed it was very good. So there was evening, and there was morning, a sixth day.
Genesis 1
King James Version
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
