創造天地萬物

起初, 神創造天地。 地是空虛混沌;深淵上一片黑暗; 神的靈運行在水面上。  神說:“要有光!”就有了光。  神看光是好的,他就把光暗分開了。  神稱光為晝,稱暗為夜。有晚上,有早晨;這是第一日。

 神說:“眾水之間要有穹蒼,把水和水分開!”事就這樣成了。  神造了穹蒼,把穹蒼以下的水和穹蒼以上的水分開了。  神稱穹蒼為天。有晚上,有早晨;這是第二日。

 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。

In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth --

the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness [is] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the face of the waters,

and God saith, `Let light be;' and light is.

And God seeth the light that [it is] good, and God separateth between the light and the darkness,

and God calleth to the light `Day,' and to the darkness He hath called `Night;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day one.

And God saith, `Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.'

And God maketh the expanse, and it separateth between the waters which [are] under the expanse, and the waters which [are] above the expanse: and it is so.

And God calleth to the expanse `Heavens;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day second.

And God saith, `Let the waters under the heavens be collected unto one place, and let the dry land be seen:' and it is so.

10 And God calleth to the dry land `Earth,' and to the collection of the waters He hath called `Seas;' and God seeth that [it is] good.

11 And God saith, `Let the earth yield tender grass, herb sowing seed, fruit-tree (whose seed [is] in itself) making fruit after its kind, on the earth:' and it is so.

12 And the earth bringeth forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed [is] in itself) after its kind; and God seeth that [it is] good;

13 and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day third.

14 And God saith, `Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to make a separation between the day and the night, then they have been for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years,

15 and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth:' and it is so.

16 And God maketh the two great luminaries, the great luminary for the rule of the day, and the small luminary -- and the stars -- for the rule of the night;

17 and God giveth them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth,

18 and to rule over day and over night, and to make a separation between the light and the darkness; and God seeth that [it is] good;

19 and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day fourth.

20 And God saith, `Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature, and fowl let fly on the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.'

21 And God prepareth the great monsters, and every living creature that is creeping, which the waters have teemed with, after their kind, and every fowl with wing, after its kind, and God seeth that [it is] good.

22 And God blesseth them, saying, `Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and the fowl let multiply in the earth:'

23 and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day fifth.

24 And God saith, `Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind:' and it is so.

25 And God maketh the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, and God seeth that [it is] good.

26 And God saith, `Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.'

27 And God prepareth the man in His image; in the image of God He prepared him, a male and a female He prepared them.

28 And God blesseth them, and God saith to them, `Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping upon the earth.'

29 And God saith, `Lo, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which [is] the fruit of a tree sowing seed, to you it is for food;

30 and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to every creeping thing on the earth, in which [is] breath of life, every green herb [is] for food:' and it is so.

31 And God seeth all that He hath done, and lo, very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day the sixth.
