1 Mojžišova 1
1 Na počátku stvořil Bůh nebe a zemi.
Long, long ago God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Země pak byla nesličná a pustá, a tma byla nad propastí, a Duch Boží vznášel se nad vodami.
When he began to create the earth, it was shapeless and completely desolate/chaotic. Darkness covered the deep water that surrounded the earth. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the water.
3 I řekl Bůh: Buď světlo! I bylo světlo.
God said, “I want light to shine!” And light shone.
4 A viděl Bůh světlo, že bylo dobré; i oddělil Bůh světlo od tmy.
God was pleased with the light. Then he made the light to shine in some places, and in other places there was still darkness.
5 A nazval Bůh světlo dnem, a tmu nazval nocí. I byl večer a bylo jitro, den první.
He gave to the light the name ‘day’, and he gave to the darkness the name ‘night’. After that, there was an evening which was followed by a morning. He called that whole period of time ‘the first day’.
6 Řekl také Bůh: Buď obloha u prostřed vod, a děl vody od vod!
Then God said, “I command that there be an empty space like a huge dome to separate the water that is above it from the water on the earth that is below it!”
7 I učinil Bůh tu oblohu, a oddělil vody, kteréž jsou pod oblohou, od vod, kteréž jsou nad oblohou. A stalo se tak.
And that is what happened. God gave to the space the name ‘sky’.
8 I nazval Bůh oblohu nebem. I byl večer a bylo jitro, den druhý.
Then there was another evening, which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the second day’.
9 Řekl také Bůh: Shromažďte se vody, kteréž jsou pod nebem, v místo jedno, a ukaž se místo suché! A stalo se tak.
Then God said, “I want the water that is below the sky to come together, and dry ground to appear and rise above the water.” And that is what happened.
10 I nazval Bůh místo suché zemí, shromáždění pak vod nazval mořem. A viděl Bůh, že to bylo dobré.
God gave to the ground the name ‘earth’, and he gave to the water that came together the name ‘oceans’. God was pleased with the earth and the oceans.
11 Potom řekl Bůh: Zploď země trávu, a bylinu vydávající símě, a strom plodný, nesoucí ovoce podlé pokolení svého, v němž by bylo símě jeho na zemi. A stalo se tak.
Then God said, “I want the earth to produce plants, including plants that will produce seeds and trees that will produce fruit. Each kind of tree will bear its own kind of fruit.”
12 Nebo země vydala trávu, a bylinu nesoucí semeno podlé pokolení svého, i strom přinášející ovoce, v němž bylo símě jeho, podlé pokolení jeho. A viděl Bůh, že to bylo dobré.
Then plants grew on the earth; each kind of plant began to produce its own kind of seed.
13 I byl večer a bylo jitro, den třetí.
Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. God called that period of time ‘the third day’.
14 Opět řekl Bůh: Buďte světla na obloze nebeské, aby oddělovala den od noci, a byla na znamení a rozměření časů, dnů a let.
Then God said, “I want a sun, a moon, and many stars to shine in the sky. The sun will shine in the daytime and the moon and stars will shine during the nighttime. By the changes in their appearance they will indicate the various seasons (OR, the times for special celebrations), and will enable people to know when days and years begin.
15 A aby svítila na obloze nebeské, a osvěcovala zemi. A stalo se tak.
I want them also to be like lights in the sky that will shine on the earth.” And that is what happened.
16 I učinil Bůh dvě světla veliká, světlo větší, aby správu drželo nade dnem, a světlo menší, aby správu drželo nad nocí; též i hvězdy.
God made two of them that were like big lights. The bigger one, the sun, shines during the day and the smaller one, the moon, shines during the night. He also made the stars.
17 A postavil je Bůh na obloze nebeské, aby osvěcovala zemi;
God set all of them in the sky to shine on the earth,
18 A aby správu držela nade dnem a nocí, a oddělovala světlo od tmy. A viděl Bůh, že to bylo dobré.
to rule the day and the night, and to separate the light of the daytime from the darkness of the nighttime. God was pleased with these things he had made.
19 I byl večer a bylo jitro, den čtvrtý.
Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fourth day’.
20 Řekl ještě Bůh: Vydejte vody hmyz duše živé v hojnosti, a
Then God said, “I want many creatures to live in all the oceans, and I also want birds to fly in the sky above the earth.”
21 I stvořil Bůh velryby veliké a všelijakou duši živou, hýbající se, kteroužto v hojnosti vydaly vody podlé pokolení jejich, a všeliké ptactvo křídla mající, podlé pokolení jeho. A viděl Bůh, že to bylo dobré.
So God created huge sea creatures and every other kind of creature that moves in the water, and caused them to live in all the oceans. He also created many kinds of birds. God was pleased with all those creatures.
22 I požehnal jim Bůh, řka: Ploďtež se a množte se, a naplňte vody mořské; též ptactvo ať se rozmnožuje na zemi!
God blessed them. He said, “Produce offspring and become very numerous. I want the creatures in the water to live in all the oceans, and birds also to become very numerous.” And that is what happened.
23 I byl večer a bylo jitro, den pátý.
Then there was another evening that was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fifth day’.
24 Řekl též Bůh: Vydej země duši živou, jednu každou podlé pokolení jejího, hovada a zeměplazy, i zvěř zemskou, podlé pokolení jejího. A stalo se tak.
Then God said, “I want various kinds of creatures to appear on the earth. There will be many kinds of (livestock/domestic animals), creatures that scurry across the ground, and large wild animals.” And that is what happened.
25 I učinil Bůh zvěř zemskou podlé pokolení jejího, též hovada vedlé pokolení jejich, i všeliký zeměplaz podlé pokolení jeho. A viděl Bůh, že bylo dobré.
God made all kinds of wild animals and (livestock/domestic animals) and all kinds of creatures that scurry across the ground. God was pleased with all these creatures.
26 Řekl opět Bůh: Učiňme člověka k obrazu našemu, podlé podobenství našeho, a ať panují nad rybami mořskými, a nad ptactvem nebeským, i nad hovady, a nade vší zemí, i nad všelikým zeměplazem hýbajícím se na zemi.
Then God said, “Now we will make human beings that will be like us in many ways. I want them to rule over the fish in the sea, over the birds, over all the (livestock/domestic animals), and over all the other creatures that scurry across the ground.”
27 I stvořil Bůh člověka k obrazu svému, k obrazu Božímu stvořil jej, muže a ženu stvořil je.
So God created human beings that were like him in many ways. He made them to be like himself. He created some to be male and some to be female.
28 A požehnal jim Bůh, a řekl jim Bůh: Ploďtež se a rozmnožujte se, a naplňte zemi, a podmaňte ji, a panujte nad rybami mořskými, a nad ptactvem nebeským, i nad všelikým živočichem hýbajícím se na zemi.
God blessed them, saying, “Produce many children, who will live all over the earth and rule over it. I want them to rule over the fish and the birds and over all creatures that scurry across the ground.”
29 Řekl ještě Bůh: Aj, dal jsem vám všelikou bylinu, vydávající símě, kteráž jest na tváři vší země, a všeliké stromoví, (na němž jest ovoce stromu), nesoucí símě; to bude vám za pokrm.
God said to the humans, “Listen! I have given you all the plants that produce seeds, all over the earth, and all the trees that have seeds in their fruit. All these things are for you to eat.
30 Všechněm pak živočichům zemským, i všemu ptactvu nebeskému, a všemu tomu, což se hýbe na zemi, v čemž jest duše živá, všelikou bylinu zelenou dal jsem ku pokrmu. I stalo se tak.
I have given all the green plants to all the wild animals and to the birds and to all the creatures that scurry across the ground, to everything that breathes, for them to eat.” And that is what happened.
31 A viděl Bůh vše, což učinil, a aj, bylo velmi dobré. I byl večer a bylo jitro, den šestý.
God was pleased with everything that he had made. Truly, it was all very good. Then there was another evening, that was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the sixth day’.
