Palabra de Dios para Todos
La creación del mundo
1 En el principio, cuando Dios creó
los cielos y la tierra,
2 reinaba el caos y no había nada en ella.
El abismo estaba sumido en la oscuridad,
y el Espíritu de Dios aleteaba
sobre las aguas.
3 Dios dijo: «Que haya luz»,
y hubo luz.
4 Al ver Dios que la luz era buena,
la separó de la oscuridad.
5 Dios llamó a la luz «día»
y a la oscuridad «noche».
Llegó la tarde y después la mañana.
Ese fue el primer día.
6 Entonces Dios dijo: «¡Que haya un firmamento[a]
que separe las aguas en dos partes!»
7 Así que Dios creó el firmamento
y separó las aguas;
unas quedaron arriba del firmamento
y otras debajo.
8 Dios llamó al firmamento «cielo».
Llegó la tarde y después la mañana.
Ese fue el segundo día.
9 Luego Dios dijo: «Que las aguas debajo del cielo
se junten en un solo lugar,
para que aparezca el suelo seco».
Y así sucedió.
10 Dios llamó a este suelo seco «tierra»
y a las aguas que se habían juntado las llamó «mar».
Y Dios vio que estaba muy bien
esto que había hecho.
11 Entonces Dios dijo: «Que la tierra se cubra de vegetación:
toda clase de plantas que den semillas
y árboles que den frutos con semilla».
Y así sucedió.
12 La tierra se llenó de vegetación:
toda clase de plantas que dan granos
y árboles que dan frutos con semilla.
Y Dios vio que estaba muy bien
esto que había hecho.
13 Llegó la tarde y después la mañana.
Ese fue el tercer día.
14 Después Dios dijo: «Que haya luces en el firmamento del cielo
para poder así separar el día de la noche
y para que sirvan para señalar
los días, los años y las festividades.
15 Que estas luces estén en el firmamento
para alumbrar la tierra».
Y así sucedió.
16 Dios hizo dos grandes luces:
la más grande para gobernar el día
y la más pequeña para gobernar la noche.
También hizo las estrellas.
17 Dios puso estas luces en el cielo
para darle iluminación a la tierra,
18 para que las dos gobernaran,
una durante el día y la otra durante la noche;
y para separar la luz de la oscuridad.
Y Dios vio que estaba muy bien
esto que había hecho.
19 Luego llegó la tarde y después la mañana.
Ese fue el cuarto día.
20 Entonces Dios dijo: «Que las aguas se llenen de seres vivientes
y haya aves volando en el firmamento sobre la tierra».
21 Así creó los animales gigantescos del mar
y toda especie de los animales que viven en el agua.
También creó todas las especies de aves.
Y Dios vio que estaba muy bien
esto que había hecho.
22 Dios los bendijo diciendo:
«Tengan hijos y multiplíquense para llenar el agua de los mares
y que haya muchas aves en el mundo».
23 Llegó la tarde y después la mañana.
Ese fue el quinto día.
24 Después Dios dijo: «Que la tierra produzca seres vivientes de todo tipo:
animales domésticos y silvestres
y los que se arrastran por el suelo».
Y así sucedió.
25 Dios hizo toda clase de animales:
animales domésticos y silvestres
y los que se arrastran por el suelo.
Y Dios vio que estaba muy bien
esto que había hecho.
26 Luego Dios dijo: «Ahora hagamos al ser humano
a nuestra imagen y semejanza.
Tendrá poder sobre los peces del mar,
sobre las aves del cielo y en toda la tierra.
Reinará sobre los animales terrestres,
y sobre todos los que se arrastran por el suelo».
27 Así que Dios creó al ser humano a su imagen y semejanza,
creó al varón y a la mujer.
28 Y los bendijo diciendo:
«Tengan muchos hijos para así poblar el mundo
y ejercer control sobre él:
sean jefes de los peces del mar, de las aves del cielo
y de toda criatura que se arrastra por el suelo».
29 Y Dios dijo: «Miren, les he dado
todas las plantas que dan semillas
y los árboles que dan frutos con semilla.
Ellos serán su comida.
30 Pero a todo animal en la tierra,
a todo pájaro en el cielo,
a toda criatura que se arrastra por el suelo;
en fin, todo lo que tiene vida
le doy la hierba como alimento».
Y así sucedió.
31 Dios vio todo lo que había hecho,
y todo había quedado muy, pero muy bien.
Luego llegó la tarde y después la mañana.
Ese fue el sexto día.

The Beginning
1 In the beginning(A) God created(B) the heavens(C) and the earth.(D) 2 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.
3 And God said,(J) “Let there be light,” and there was light.(K) 4 God saw that the light was good,(L) and he separated the light from the darkness.(M) 5 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.
6 And God said,(Q) “Let there be a vault(R) between the waters(S) to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it.(T) And it was so.(U) 8 God called(V) the vault “sky.”(W) And there was evening, and there was morning(X)—the second day.
9 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
1 In the (A)beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 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.
3 And God said, (C)“Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
6 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.” 7 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. 8 And God called the expanse Heaven.[c] And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
9 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.
