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.

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Paglikha
1 Nang pasimula, nilikha ng Dios ang langit at ang lupa. 2 Ang mundo noon ay wala pang anyo at wala pang laman. Ang tubig na bumabalot sa mundo ay balot ng kadiliman. At ang Espiritu ng Dios[a] ay kumikilos sa ibabaw ng mga tubig. 3 Sinabi ng Dios, “Magkaroon ng liwanag!” At nagkaroon nga ng liwanag. 4 Nasiyahan ang Dios sa liwanag na nakita niya. Pagkatapos, inihiwalay niya ang liwanag sa kadiliman. 5 Tinawag niyang “araw” ang liwanag, at “gabi” naman ang kadiliman. Lumipas ang gabi at dumating ang umaga. Iyon ang unang araw.
6 Pagkatapos, sinabi ng Dios, “Magkaroon ng pagitan na maghihiwalay sa tubig sa dalawang bahagi.” 7 At nagkaroon nga ng pagitan na naghihiwalay sa tubig sa itaas at sa tubig sa ibaba. 8 Ang pagitang itoʼy tinawag ng Dios na “kalawakan.” Lumipas ang gabi at dumating ang umaga. Iyon ang ikalawang araw.
9 Pagkatapos, sinabi ng Dios, “Magsama sa isang lugar ang tubig sa mundo para lumitaw ang tuyong bahagi.” At iyon nga ang nangyari. 10 Tinawag niyang “lupa” ang tuyong lugar, at “dagat” naman ang nagsamang tubig. Nasiyahan ang Dios sa nakita niya.
11 Pagkatapos, sinabi ng Dios, “Magsitubo sa lupa ang lahat ng uri ng halaman, ang mga tanim na nagbubunga ng butil, at ang mga punongkahoy na namumunga ayon sa kani-kanilang uri.” At iyon nga ang nangyari. 12 Tumubo sa lupa ang lahat ng uri ng halaman, ang mga tanim na nagbubunga ng butil, at ang mga punongkahoy na namumunga ayon sa kani-kanilang uri. Nasiyahan ang Dios sa nakita niya. 13 Lumipas ang gabi at dumating ang umaga. Iyon ang ikatlong araw.
14 Pagkatapos, sinabi ng Dios, “Magkaroon ng mga ilaw sa kalangitan para ihiwalay ang araw sa gabi, at magsilbing palatandaan ng pagsisimula ng mga panahon,[b] araw at taon. 15 Magningning ang mga ito sa kalangitan para magbigay-liwanag sa mundo.” At iyon nga ang nangyari. 16 Nilikha ng Dios ang dalawang malaking ilaw: ang pinakamalaki ay magliliwanag kung araw, at ang mas malaki ay magliliwanag kung gabi. Nilikha rin niya ang mga bituin. 17-18 Inilagay ng Dios ang mga ito sa kalangitan para magbigay-liwanag sa mundo kung araw at gabi, at para ihiwalay ang liwanag sa dilim. At nasiyahan ang Dios sa nakita niya. 19 Lumipas ang gabi at dumating ang umaga. Iyon ang ikaapat na araw.
20 Pagkatapos, sinabi ng Dios, “Magkaroon ng ibaʼt ibang hayop sa tubig at magsilipad ang ibaʼt ibang hayop[c] sa himpapawid.” 21 Kaya nilikha ng Dios ang malalaking hayop sa dagat, at ang lahat ng uri ng hayop na nakatira sa tubig, at ang lahat ng uri ng hayop na lumilipad. Nasiyahan ang Dios sa nakita niya. 22 At binasbasan niya ang mga ito. Sinabi niya, “Magpakarami kayo, kayong mga hayop sa tubig at mga hayop na lumilipad.” 23 Lumipas ang gabi at dumating ang umaga. Iyon ang ikalimang araw.
24 Pagkatapos, sinabi ng Dios, “Magkaroon ng ibaʼt ibang uri ng hayop sa lupa: mga hayop na maamo at mailap, malalaki at maliliit.” At iyon nga ang nangyari. 25 Nilikha ng Dios ang lahat ng ito at nasiyahan siya sa nakita niya.
26 Pagkatapos, sinabi ng Dios, “Likhain natin ang tao ayon sa ating wangis. Sila ang mamamahala sa lahat ng uri ng hayop: mga lumalangoy, lumilipad, lumalakad at gumagapang.” 27 Kaya nilikha ng Dios ang tao, lalaki at babae ayon sa wangis niya. 28 Binasbasan niya sila at sinabi, “Magpakarami kayo para mangalat ang mga lahi ninyo at mamahala sa buong mundo. At pamahalaan ninyo ang lahat ng hayop.”
29 Pagkatapos, sinabi ng Dios, “Ibinibigay ko sa inyo ang mga tanim na namumunga ng butil pati ang mga punongkahoy na namumunga para inyong kainin. 30 At ibinibigay ko sa lahat ng hayop ang lahat ng luntiang halaman bilang pagkain nila.” At iyon nga ang nangyari. 31 Pinagmasdan ng Dios ang lahat niyang nilikha at lubos siyang nasiyahan. Lumipas ang gabi at dumating ang umaga. Iyon ang ikaanim na araw.
