Postanak 1
1 U početku stvori Bog nebo i zemlju.
IN THE beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 Zemlja bijaše pusta i prazna; tama se prostirala nad bezdanom i Duh Božji lebdio je nad vodama.
Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters.
3 I reče Bog: “Neka bude svjetlost!” I bi svjetlost.
And God said: 'Let there be light.' And there was light.
4 I vidje Bog da je svjetlost dobra; i rastavi Bog svjetlost od tame.
And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 Svjetlost prozva Bog dan, a tamu prozva noć. Tako bude večer, pa jutro - dan prvi.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
6 I reče Bog: “Neka bude svod posred voda da dijeli vode od voda!” I bi tako.
And God said: 'Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.'
7 Bog načini svod i vode pod svodom odijeli od voda nad svodom.
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.
8 A svod prozva Bog nebo. Tako bude večer, pa jutro - dan drugi.
And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 I reče Bog: “Vode pod nebom neka se skupe na jedno mjesto i neka se pokaže kopno!” I bi tako.
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 Kopno prozva Bog zemlja, a skupljene vode mora. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
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 I reče Bog: “Neka proklija zemlja zelenilom - travom sjemenitom, stablima plodonosnim, koja, svako prema svojoj vrsti, na zemlji donose plod što u sebi nosi svoje sjeme. I bi tako.
And God said: 'Let the earth put forth grass, herb yielding seed, and fruit-tree bearing fruit after its kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth.' And it was so.
12 I nikne iz zemlje zelena trava što se sjemeni, svaka prema svojoj vrsti, i stabla koja rode plodovima što u sebi nose svoje sjeme, svako prema svojoj vrsti. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
And the earth brought forth grass, herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
13 Tako bude večer, pa jutro - dan treći.
And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
14 I reče Bog: “Neka budu svjetlila na svodu nebeskom da luče dan od noći, da budu znaci blagdanima, danima i godinama,
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 i neka svijetle na svodu nebeskom i rasvjetljuju zemlju!” I bi tako.
and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.' And it was so.
16 I načini Bog dva velika svjetlila - veće da vlada danom, manje da vlada noću - i zvijezde.
And God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; and the stars.
17 I Bog ih postavi na svod nebeski da rasvjetljuju zemlju,
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 da vladaju danom i noću i da rastavljaju svjetlost od tame. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
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 Tako bude večer, pa jutro - dan četvrti.
And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 I reče Bog: “Nek' povrvi vodom vreva živih stvorova, i ptice nek' polete nad zemljom, svodom nebeskim!” I bi tako.
And God said: 'Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let fowl fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.'
21 Stvori Bog morske grdosije i svakovrsne žive stvorove što mile i vrve vodom i ptice krilate svake vrste. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that creepeth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after its kind, and every winged fowl after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
22 I blagoslovi ih govoreći: “Plodite se i množite i napunite vode morske! I ptice neka se namnože na zemlji!”
And God blessed them, saying: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.'
23 Tako bude večer, pa jutro - dan peti.
And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 I reče Bog: “Neka zemlja izvede živa bića, svako prema svojoj vrsti: stoku, gmizavce i zvjerad svake vrste!” I bi tako.
And God said: 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind.' And it was so.
25 I stvori Bog svakovrsnu zvjerad, stoku i gmizavce svake vrste. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
26 I reče Bog: “Načinimo čovjeka na svoju sliku, sebi slična, da bude gospodar ribama morskim, pticama nebeskim i stoci - svoj zemlji - i svim gmizavcima što puze po zemlji!”
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 Na svoju sliku stvori Bog čovjeka, na sliku Božju on ga stvori, muško i žensko stvori ih.
And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.
28 I blagoslovi ih Bog i reče im: “Plodite se, i množite, i napunite zemlju, i sebi je podložite! Vladajte ribama u moru i pticama u zraku i svim živim stvorovima što puze po zemlji!”
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 creepeth upon the earth.'
29 I doda Bog: “Evo, dajem vam sve bilje što se sjemeni, po svoj zemlji, i sva stabla plodonosna što u sebi nose svoje sjeme: neka vam budu za hranu!
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 A zvijerima na zemlji i pticama u zraku i gmizavcima što puze po zemlji u kojima je dah života - neka je za hranu sve zeleno bilje!” I bi tako.
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 a living soul, I have given every green herb for food.' And it was so.
31 I vidje Bog sve što je učinio, i bijaše veoma dobro. Tako bude večer, pa jutro - dan šesti.
And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
