Postanak 1
1 U početku stvori Bog nebo i zemlju.
In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth,
2 Zemlja bijaše pusta i prazna; tama se prostirala nad bezdanom i Duh Božji lebdio je nad vodama.
and the earth was formless and void, and darkness [was] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God [was] fluttering on the face of the waters,
3 I reče Bog: “Neka bude svjetlost!” I bi svjetlost.
and God says, “Let light be”; and light is.
4 I vidje Bog da je svjetlost dobra; i rastavi Bog svjetlost od tame.
And God sees that the light [is] good, and God separates between the light and the darkness,
5 Svjetlost prozva Bog dan, a tamu prozva noć. Tako bude večer, pa jutro - dan prvi.
and God calls the light “Day,” and the darkness He has called “Night”; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—day one.
6 I reče Bog: “Neka bude svod posred voda da dijeli vode od voda!” I bi tako.
And God says, “Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.”
7 Bog načini svod i vode pod svodom odijeli od voda nad svodom.
And God makes the expanse, and it separates between the waters which [are] under the expanse, and the waters which [are] above the expanse: and it is so.
8 A svod prozva Bog nebo. Tako bude večer, pa jutro - dan drugi.
And God calls the expanse “Heavens”; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] 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 says, “Let the waters under the heavens be collected to one place, and let the dry land be seen”: and it is so.
10 Kopno prozva Bog zemlja, a skupljene vode mora. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
And God calls the dry land “Earth,” and the collection of the waters He has called “Seas”; and God sees that [it is] 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 says, “Let the earth yield tender grass, herb sowing seed, fruit-tree (whose seed [is] in itself) making fruit after its kind, on the earth”: and it is 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 brings forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed [is] in itself) after its kind; and God sees that [it is] good;
13 Tako bude večer, pa jutro - dan treći.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] 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 says, “Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to make a separation between the day and the night, then they have been for signs, and for appointed times, and for days and years,
15 i neka svijetle na svodu nebeskom i rasvjetljuju zemlju!” I bi tako.
and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”: and it is so.
16 I načini Bog dva velika svjetlila - veće da vlada danom, manje da vlada noću - i zvijezde.
And God makes the two great luminaries, the great luminary for the rule of the day, and the small luminary—and the stars—for the rule of the night;
17 I Bog ih postavi na svod nebeski da rasvjetljuju zemlju,
and God gives them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
18 da vladaju danom i noću i da rastavljaju svjetlost od tame. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
and to rule over day and over night, and to make a separation between the light and the darkness; and God sees that [it is] good;
19 Tako bude večer, pa jutro - dan četvrti.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] 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 says, “Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature, and let [the] bird fly above the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.”
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 creates the great dragons, and every living creature that is creeping, which the waters have teemed with, after their kind, and every bird with wing, after its kind, and God sees that [it is] good.
22 I blagoslovi ih govoreći: “Plodite se i množite i napunite vode morske! I ptice neka se namnože na zemlji!”
And God blesses them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the bird multiply in the earth”:
23 Tako bude večer, pa jutro - dan peti.
and there is an evening, and there is a morning—[the] 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 says, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, livestock and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind”: and it is so.
25 I stvori Bog svakovrsnu zvjerad, stoku i gmizavce svake vrste. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
And God makes the beast of the earth after its kind, and the livestock after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, and God sees that [it is] 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 says, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.”
27 Na svoju sliku stvori Bog čovjeka, na sliku Božju on ga stvori, muško i žensko stvori ih.
And God creates the man in His image; in the image of God He created him, a male and a female He created 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 blesses them, and God says to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over [the] fish of the sea, and over [the] bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping on 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 says, “Behold, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which [is] on the face of all the earth, and every tree in which [is] the fruit of a tree sowing seed, to you it is 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 bird of the heavens, and to every creeping thing on the earth, in which [is] breath of life, every green herb [is] for food”: and it is so.
31 I vidje Bog sve što je učinio, i bijaše veoma dobro. Tako bude večer, pa jutro - dan šesti.
And God sees all that He has done, and behold, [it is] very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning—the sixth day.
