创造天地万物

起初, 神创造天地。 地是空虚混沌;深渊上一片黑暗; 神的灵运行在水面上。  神说:“要有光!”就有了光。  神看光是好的,他就把光暗分开了。  神称光为昼,称暗为夜。有晚上,有早晨;这是第一日。

 神说:“众水之间要有穹苍,把水和水分开!”事就这样成了。  神造了穹苍,把穹苍以下的水和穹苍以上的水分开了。  神称穹苍为天。有晚上,有早晨;这是第二日。

 神说:“天下的水要聚在一处,使旱地露出来!”事就这样成了。 10  神称旱地为地,称水的聚处为海。 神看这是好的。 11  神说:“地上要长出青草、结种子的蔬菜和结果子的树木,各从其类,在地上的果子都包着核!”事就这样成了。 12 于是,地上长出了青草和结种子的蔬菜,各从其类;又长出结果子的树木,各从其类,果子都包着核。 神看这是好的。 13 有晚上,有早晨;这是第三日。

14  神说:“在天上穹苍中,要有光体来分昼夜;这些光体要作为记号,定节令、日子和年岁; 15 它们要在天上穹苍中发光,照耀地上!”事就这样成了。 16 于是, 神造了两个大光体,大的管昼,小的管夜;又造了星星。 17  神把这些光体安放在天上穹苍中,照耀地上, 18 管昼夜,分光暗。 神看这是好的。 19 有晚上,有早晨;这是第四日。

20  神说:“水要滋长生物;地上和天空之中,要有雀鸟飞翔!” 21 于是, 神创造了大鱼和在水中滋生各种能活动的生物,各从其类;又创造了各种有翅膀的飞鸟,各从其类。 神看这是好的。 22  神就赐福给牠们,说:“要繁衍增多,充满海洋;雀鸟也要在地上增多!” 23 有晚上,有早晨;这是第五日。

24  神说:“地上要生出活物来,各从其类;牲畜、爬行的动物和地上的野兽,各从其类!”事就这样成了。 25 于是, 神造了地上的野兽,各从其类;牲畜,各从其类;地上各种爬行的动物,各从其类。 神看这是好的。

创造人类

26  神说:“我们要照着我们的形象,按着我们的样式造人;使他们管理海里的鱼、空中的鸟、地上的牲畜,以及全地,和地上所有爬行的生物!” 27 于是, 神照着自己的形象创造人;就是照着 神的形象创造了他;他所创造的有男有女。 28  神就赐福给他们,对他们说:“要繁衍增多,充满这地,征服它;也要管理海里的鱼、空中的鸟和地上所有走动的生物。” 29  神说:“看哪!我把全地上结种子的各样蔬菜,和一切果树上有种子的果子,都赐给你们作食物。 30 至于地上的各种野兽,空中的各种飞鸟,和地上爬行有生命的各种活物,我把一切青草蔬菜赐给牠们作食物。”事就这样成了。 31  神看他所造的一切都很好。有晚上,有早晨;这是第六日。

制定安息日

这样,天地万物都造齐了。 第七日, 神完成了他所作的工;在第七日 神歇了他所作的一切工。  神赐福第七日,把它分别为圣,因为在这一日, 神停了他一切所创造的工,歇息了。

创造男人并设置伊甸园

这是创造天地的起源:耶和华 神造天地的时候, 原野上还没有树木,田间的蔬菜还没有长起来,因为耶和华 神还没有降雨在地上,也没有人耕种土地; 不过有雾气从地面上升,滋润全地。 耶和华 神用地上的尘土造成人形,把生气吹进他的鼻孔里,那人就成了有生命的活人,名叫亚当。 耶和华 神在东方的伊甸,栽了一个园子,把他所造的人放在那里。 耶和华 神使各样的树从地上长起来,能悦人的眼目,也好作食物。园子中间又有生命树,和知善恶树。

10 有一条河从伊甸流出来,灌溉那园子;从那里分支,成了四道河的源头。 11 第一道河名叫比逊,就是环绕哈腓拉全地的,在那里有金子; 12 那地的金子是好的;在那里也有红玉和玛瑙。 13 第二道河名叫基训,就是环绕古实全地的。 14 第三道河名叫底格里斯河(“底格里斯河”原文作“希底结”),就是流向亚述东边的。第四道河就是幼发拉底河(“幼发拉底河”原文作“伯拉河”)。 15 耶和华 神把那人安置在伊甸园里,叫他耕种和看守那园子。 16 耶和华 神吩咐那人说:“园中各样树上的果子,你都可以吃; 17 只是那知善恶树的果子,你不可吃;因为你吃的时候,你必要死。”

创造女人并建立婚姻

18 耶和华 神说:“那人独居不好,我要为他造个和他相配的帮手。” 19 耶和华 神用泥土造了野地的各样野兽,和空中的各样飞鸟,把牠们都带到那人面前,看他给牠们叫甚么名字;那人怎样叫各样有生命的活物,那就是牠的名字。 20 那人就给各样牲畜、空中的雀鸟,和野地的各样走兽起了名字;只是那人没有遇见一个和他相配的帮手。 21 耶和华 神使那人沉睡。他熟睡的时候,耶和华 神取了他的一根肋骨,又使肉在原处复合。 22 然后,耶和华 神用从那人身上所取的肋骨,造了一个女人,带她到那人面前。 23 那人说:

“这是我骨中的骨,

肉中的肉;

她当称为女人,

因她是从男人身上取出来的。”

24 因此人要离开父母,和妻子连合,二人成为一体。 25 那时,夫妻二人赤身露体,彼此都不觉得羞耻。

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

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.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

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.

And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

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.

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
