創世記 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
上帝創造天地
1 太初，上帝創造了天地。 2 那時，大地空虛混沌，還沒有成形，黑暗籠罩著深淵，上帝的靈運行在水面上。 3 上帝說：「要有光！」就有了光。 4 上帝看光是好的，就把光和暗分開， 5 稱光為晝，稱暗為夜。晚上過去，早晨到來，這是第一天[a]。 6 上帝說：「水與水之間要有穹蒼，把水分開。」 7 果然如此。上帝開闢了穹蒼，用穹蒼將水上下分開。 8 上帝稱穹蒼為天空。晚上過去，早晨到來，這是第二天。
9 上帝說：「天空下面的水要聚在一處，使乾地露出來。」果然如此。 10 上帝稱乾地為陸地，稱水匯聚的地方為海洋。上帝看了，感到滿意。 11 上帝說：「陸地要長出植物——各類結種子的菜蔬和結果子的樹木，果子內都有籽。」果然如此， 12 陸地長出了植物——各類結種子的菜蔬和結果子的樹木，果子內都有籽。上帝看了，感到滿意。 13 晚上過去，早晨到來，這是第三天。
14 上帝說：「天空要有光體，以區分晝夜，作記號，定節令，計算年日， 15 發光普照大地。」果然如此。 16 上帝造了兩個大光體，較大的管白晝，較小的管黑夜，又造了星辰。 17 上帝把這些光體擺列在天空，讓它們發光普照大地， 18 管理晝夜，分開明暗。上帝看了，感到滿意。 19 晚上過去，早晨到來，這是第四天。
20 上帝說：「水中要充滿各種動物，空中要有禽鳥飛翔。」 21 上帝就造了海中的大魚等各類水族和各類禽鳥。上帝看了，感到滿意。 22 上帝賜福給這一切生物，說：「水族要生養繁殖，充滿海洋，禽鳥也要在地上多多地繁殖。」 23 晚上過去，早晨到來，這是第五天。 24 上帝說：「大地要繁衍各類動物——各類的牲畜、爬蟲和野獸。」果然如此。 25 上帝造了各類的野獸、牲畜和爬蟲。上帝看了，感到滿意。
上帝照自己的形像造人
26 上帝說：「我們要照著我們的形像，按著我們的樣子造人，讓他們管理海裡的魚、空中的鳥和地上的牲畜及一切爬蟲。」 27 上帝就照著自己的形像造了人，祂照著自己的形像造了男人和女人。 28 上帝賜福給他們，對他們說：「你們要生養眾多，遍佈地面，治理大地，管理海裡的魚、空中的鳥以及地上的各種動物。」 29 上帝對人說：「看啊，我把地上所有結種子的菜蔬和所有樹上有籽的果子都賜給你們作食物。 30 我把植物賜給所有地上的走獸、空中的飛鳥及地上的爬蟲作食物。」果然如此。 31 上帝看了，感到非常滿意。晚上過去，早晨到來，這是第六天。

1 Në fillim Perëndia krijoi qiejt dhe tokën.
2 Toka ishte pa trajtë, e zbrazët dhe errësira mbulonte sipërfaqen e humnerës; dhe Fryma e Perëndisë fluturonte mbi sipërfaqen e ujërave.
3 Pastaj Perëndia tha: "U bëftë drita!". Dhe drita u bë.
4 Dhe Perëndia pa që drita ishte e mirë; dhe Perëndia e ndau dritën nga errësira.
5 Dhe Perëndia e quajti dritën "ditë" dhe errësirën "natë". Kështu erdhi mbrëmja e pastaj erdhi mëngjesi: dita e parë.
6 Pastaj Perëndia tha: "Le të jetë një kupë qiellore mes ujërave, që t’i ndajë ujërat nga ujërat".
7 Dhe Perëndia krijoi kupën qiellore dhe ndau ujërat që ishin poshtë saj nga ujërat që ishin sipër saj. Dhe kështu u bë.
8 Dhe Perëndia e quajti kupën qiellore "qiell". Kështu erdhi mbrëmja, pastaj erdhi mëngjesi: dita e dytë.
9 Pastaj Perëndia tha: "Ujërat që janë nën qiellin të grumbullohen në një vend të vetëm dhe të shfaqet tera". Dhe kështu u bë.
10 Dhe Perëndia e quajti terën "tokë" dhe grumbullimin e ujërave "detë". Dhe Perëndia pa që kjo ishte mirë.
11 Pastaj Perëndia tha: "Të mbijë toka gjelbërimin, barërat të nxjerrin farë dhe drurët frutore të japin në tokë një frut që të përmbajë farën e tij, secili simbas llojit të tij". Dhe kështu u bë.
12 Dhe toka prodhoi gjelbërim, barëra që e bënin farën simbas llojit të tyre dhe drurë që mbanin fruta me farën e tyre brenda, secili simbas llojit të vet. Dhe Perëndia e pa se kjo ishte mirë.
13 Kështu erdhi mbrëmja, pastaj erdhi mëngjesi; dita e tretë.
14 Pastaj Perëndia tha: "Të ketë ndriçues në kupën qiellore për të ndarë ditën nga nata; dhe të shërbejnë si shenja, për të dalluar stinët, ditët dhe vitet;
15 dhe të shërbejnë si ndriçues në kupën qiellore për të ndriçuar tokën". Dhe kështu u bë.
16 Perëndia krijoi pastaj dy ndriçues të mëdhenj: ndriçuesin e madhë për qeverisjen e ditës dhe ndriçuesin e vogël për qeverisjen e natës; ai krijoi gjithashtu yjet.
17 Dhe Perëndia i vendosi në kupën qiellore për të ndriçuar tokën,
18 për të qeverisur ditën dhe natën dhe për ta ndarë dritën nga errësira. Dhe Perëndia e pa që kjo ishte mirë.
19 Kështu erdhi mbrëmja dhe erdhi mëngjesi: dita e katërt.
20 Pastaj Perëndia tha: "Të mbushen ujërat nga një numër i madh qeniesh të gjalla dhe të fluturojnë zogjtë lart mbi tokë nëpër hapësirën e madhe të kupës qiellore".
21 Kështu Perëndia krijoi kafshët e mëdha ujore dhe të gjitha gjallesat që lëvizin dhe që mbushin ujërat, secili simbas llojit të vet, e çdo shpend fluturues simbas llojit të vet. Dhe Perëndia e pa se kjo ishte mirë.
22 Dhe Perëndia i bekoi duke thënë: "Të jeni të frytshëm, shumëzoni dhe mbushni ujërat e deteve, e zogjtë të shumëzohen mbi tokë".
23 Kështu erdhi mbrëmja dhe pastaj mëngjesi: dita e pestë.
24 Pastaj Perëndia tha: "Të prodhojë toka qenie të gjalla sipas llojit të tyre: kafshë, rrëshqanorë dhe bisha të tokës, simbas llojit të tyre". Dhe kështu u bë.
25 Dhe Perëndia bëri egërsirat e tokës sipas llojit të tyre, kafshët simbas llojit të tyre dhe të gjithë rrëshqanorët e tokës simbas llojit të tyre. Dhe Perëndia e pa që kjo ishte mirë.
26 Pastaj Perëndia tha: "Ta bëjmë njeriun sipas shëmbëlltyrës sonë dhe në ngjasim me ne, dhe të ushtrojë sundimin e tij mbi peshqit e detit, mbi zogjtë e qiellit, mbi kafshët e mbi gjithë tokën, mbi rrëshqanorët që zvarriten mbi dhe".
27 Kështu Perëndia krijoi njeriun simbas shëmbëlltyrës së vet, simbas shëmbëlltyrës së Perëndisë; Ai krijoi mashkullin e femrën.
28 Dhe Perëndia i bekoi; dhe Perëndia u tha atyre: "Të jeni të frytshëm dhe shumëzohuni, mbushni tokën e nënshtrojeni, e sundoni mbi peshqit e detit, mbi zogjtë e qiellit dhe mbi çdo qenie që lëviz mbi tokë".
29 Dhe Perëndia tha: "Ja unë po ju jap çdo bar që lëshon farë mbi sipërfaqen e mbarë tokës dhe çdo pemë të ketë fruta që përmbajnë farë; kjo do t’ju shërbejë si ushqim.
30 Dhe çdo kafshe të tokës, çdo zogu të qiellit dhe çdo gjëje që lëviz mbi tokë dhe ka në vetvete një frymë jete, unë i jap çdo bar të gjelbër si ushqim". Dhe kështu u bë.
31 Atëherë Perëndia shikoi të gjitha ato që kishte bërë, dhe ja, ishte shumë mirë. Kështu erdhi mbrëmja dhe pastaj erdhi mëngjesi: dita e gjashtë.
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.
Genesis 1
New King James Version
The History of Creation(A)
1 In the (B)beginning (C)God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was (D)without form, and void; and darkness [a]was on the face of the deep. (E)And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
3 (F)Then God said, (G)“Let there be (H)light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the (I)darkness He called Night. [b]So the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 Then God said, (J)“Let there be a [c]firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” 7 Thus God made the firmament, (K)and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were (L)above the firmament; and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 Then God said, (M)“Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and (N)let the dry land appear”; and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, “Let the earth (O)bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the (P)fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 So the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 Then God said, “Let there be (Q)lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and (R)seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. 16 Then God made two great [d]lights: the (S)greater light to rule the day, and the (T)lesser light to rule the night. He made (U)the stars also. 17 God set them in the firmament of the (V)heavens to give light on the earth, 18 and to (W)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 the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living [e]creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the [f]firmament of the heavens.” 21 So (X)God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, (Y)“Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 So the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, (Z)“Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; (AA)let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over [g]all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man (AB)in His own image; in the image of God He created him; (AC)male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, (AD)“Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and (AE)subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that [h]moves on the earth.”
29 And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; (AF)to you it shall be for food. 30 Also, to (AG)every beast of the earth, to every (AH)bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is [i]life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so. 31 Then (AI)God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
