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.
Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface 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 that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.
5 Svjetlost prozva Bog dan, a tamu prozva noć. Tako bude večer, pa jutro - dan prvi.
God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
6 I reče Bog: “Neka bude svod posred voda da dijeli vode od voda!” I bi tako.
And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.”
7 Bog načini svod i vode pod svodom odijeli od voda nad svodom.
So God made the expanse and separated the waters beneath it from the waters above. And it was so.
8 A svod prozva Bog nebo. Tako bude večer, pa jutro - dan drugi.
God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was 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 said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered into one place, so that the dry land may appear.” And it was so.
10 Kopno prozva Bog zemlja, a skupljene vode mora. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathering of waters He called “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.
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth vegetation: seed-bearing plants and fruit trees, each bearing fruit with seed according to its kind.” 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.
The earth produced vegetation: seed-bearing plants according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
13 Tako bude večer, pa jutro - dan treći.
And there was evening, and there was 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 said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to distinguish between the day and the night, and let them be signs to mark the seasons and days and years.
15 i neka svijetle na svodu nebeskom i rasvjetljuju zemlju!” I bi tako.
And let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth.” And it was so.
16 I načini Bog dva velika svjetlila - veće da vlada danom, manje da vlada noću - i zvijezde.
God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. And He made the stars as well.
17 I Bog ih postavi na svod nebeski da rasvjetljuju zemlju,
God set these lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth,
18 da vladaju danom i noću i da rastavljaju svjetlost od tame. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
to preside over the day and the night, and to separate 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—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 said, “Let the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.”
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.
So God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters teemed according to their kinds, and every bird of flight 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!”
Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters of the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”
23 Tako bude večer, pa jutro - dan peti.
And there was evening, and there was 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 said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, land crawlers, and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so.
25 I stvori Bog svakovrsnu zvjerad, stoku i gmizavce svake vrste. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that crawls upon the earth according to 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!”
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.”
27 Na svoju sliku stvori Bog čovjeka, na sliku Božju on ga stvori, muško i žensko stvori ih.
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and 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!”
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls 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!
Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit contains seed. They will be yours 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 every bird of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth—everything that has the breath of life in it—I have given every green plant 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 looked upon all that He had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
