+ 创世记 1 >
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 地是空虚混沌,渊面黑暗; 神的灵运行在水面上。
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.
5 神称光为“昼”,称暗为“夜”。有晚上,有早晨,这是头一日。
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 神就造出空气,将空气以下的水、空气以上的水分开了。事就这样成了。
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 there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 神说:“天下的水要聚在一处,使旱地露出来。”事就这样成了。
And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear. And it was so.
10 神称旱地为“地”,称水的聚处为“海”。 神看着是好的。
And God called the dry land Earth, and he called the gathering together of the waters Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11 神说:“地要发生青草和结种子的菜蔬,并结果子的树木,各从其类,果子都包着核。”事就这样成了。
And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit according to their kind (in which is the seed of them) upon the earth. And it was so.
12 于是地发生了青草和结种子的菜蔬,各从其类;并结果子的树木,各从其类;果子都包着核。 神看着是好的。
And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed according to their kind, and trees bearing fruit in which is the seed of it, according to their kind. And God saw that it was good.
And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
14 神说:“天上要有光体,可以分昼夜,作记号,定节令、日子、年岁,
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years.
15 并要发光在天空,普照在地上。”事就这样成了。
And let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth. And it was so.
16 于是 神造了两个大光,大的管昼,小的管夜,又造众星,
And God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, also the stars.
And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth,
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.
And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 神说:“水要多多滋生有生命的物;要有雀鸟飞在地面以上,天空之中。”
And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 神就造出大鱼和水中所滋生各样有生命的动物,各从其类;又造出各样飞鸟,各从其类。 神看着是好的。
And God created the great sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 神就赐福给这一切,说:“滋生繁多,充满海中的水;雀鸟也要多生在地上。”
And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.
And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 神说:“地要生出活物来,各从其类;牲畜、昆虫、野兽,各从其类。”事就这样成了。
And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth according to their kind. And it was so.
25 于是 神造出野兽,各从其类;牲畜,各从其类;地上一切昆虫,各从其类。 神看着是好的。
And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kind, and the cattle according to their kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
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,和全地,并地上所爬的一切昆虫。”
And God said, Let us make mankind in our image-after our likeness-and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.
27 神就照着自己的形象造人,乃是照着他的形象造男造女。
And God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them.
28 神就赐福给他们,又对他们说:“要生养众多,遍满地面,治理这地,也要管理海里的鱼、空中的鸟,和地上各样行动的活物。”
And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and have power over it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.
29 神说:“看哪,我将遍地上一切结种子的菜蔬和一切树上所结有核的果子全赐给你们作食物。
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed. To you it shall be for food,
30 至于地上的走兽和空中的飞鸟,并各样爬在地上有生命的物,我将青草赐给它们作食物。”事就这样成了。
and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creeps upon the earth in which there is life, for food-every green herb. And it was so.
31 神看着一切所造的都甚好。有晚上,有早晨,是第六日。
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.
