Genesis 1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
3 Then 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 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” 7 Thus 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. So the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into 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 He called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the 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 lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and 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 lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. 17 God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on 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 So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.” 21 So 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, “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, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, 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; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that 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; to you it shall be for food. 30 Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so. 31 Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
創世記 1
起初,神創造天地。 2 地是空虛混沌,淵面黑暗,神的靈運行在水面上。 3 神說:「要有光。」就有了光。 4 神看光是好的,就把光暗分開了。 5 神稱光為晝,稱暗為夜。有晚上,有早晨,這是頭一日。
6 神說:「諸水之間要有空氣,將水分為上下。」 7 神就造出空氣,將空氣以下的水、空氣以上的水分開了。事就這樣成了。 8 神稱空氣為天。有晚上,有早晨,是第二日。
9 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。神看著是好的。 11 神說:「地要發生青草和結種子的菜蔬,並結果子的樹木,各從其類,果子都包著核。」事就這樣成了。 12 於是地發生了青草和結種子的菜蔬,各從其類;並結果子的樹木,各從其類,果子都包著核。神看著是好的。 13 有晚上,有早晨,是第三日。
14 神說:「天上要有光體,可以分晝夜,做記號,定節令、日子、年歲, 15 並要發光在天空,普照在地上。」事就這樣成了。 16 於是神造了兩個大光,大的管晝,小的管夜,又造眾星。 17 就把這些光擺列在天空,普照在地上, 18 管理晝夜,分別明暗。神看著是好的。 19 有晚上,有早晨,是第四日。
20 神說:「水要多多滋生有生命的物,要有雀鳥飛在地面以上、天空之中。」 21 神就造出大魚和水中所滋生各樣有生命的動物,各從其類;又造出各樣飛鳥,各從其類。神看著是好的。 22 神就賜福給這一切,說:「滋生繁多,充滿海中的水,雀鳥也要多生在地上。」 23 有晚上,有早晨,是第五日。
24 神說:「地要生出活物來,各從其類;牲畜、昆蟲、野獸,各從其類。」事就這樣成了。 25 於是神造出野獸,各從其類;牲畜,各從其類;地上一切昆蟲,各從其類。神看著是好的。
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、地上的牲畜和全地,並地上所爬的一切昆蟲。」 27 神就照著自己的形象造人,乃是照著他的形象,造男造女。 28 神就賜福給他們,又對他們說:「要生養眾多,遍滿地面,治理這地,也要管理海裡的魚、空中的鳥和地上各樣行動的活物。」 29 神說:「看哪,我將遍地上一切結種子的菜蔬和一切樹上所結有核的果子,全賜給你們做食物。 30 至於地上的走獸和空中的飛鳥,並各樣爬在地上有生命的物,我將青草賜給牠們做食物。」事就這樣成了。 31 神看著一切所造的都甚好。有晚上,有早晨,是第六日。
