1 Mosebog 1
1 I Begyndelsen skabte Gud Himmelen og Jorden.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 Og Jorden var øde og tom, og der var Mørke oven over Afgrunden, og Guds Aand svævede oven over Vandene.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters.
3 Og Gud sagde: Der vorde Lys; og der blev Lys.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 Og Gud saa, at Lyset var godt, og Gud gjorde Skilsmisse imellem Lyset og Mørket.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 Og Gud kaldte Lyset Dag, og Mørket kaldte han Nat; og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, første Dag.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 Og Gud sagde: Der vorde en udstrakt Befæstning midt i Vandene, og den skal skille imellem Vand og Vand.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 Og Gud gjorde den udstrakte Befæstning og gjorde Skilsmisse imellem Vandet, som var nedentil i den udstrakte Befæstning, og imellem Vandet, som var oventil i den udstrakte Befæstning; og det skete saa.
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 Og Gud kaldte den udstrakte Befæstning Himmel; og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, anden Dag.
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 Og Gud sagde: Vandene under Himlene samle sig til eet Sted, at det tørre ses; og det skete saa.
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 Og Gud kaldte det tørre Jord, og Vandenes Samling kaldte han Hav; og Gud saa, at det var godt.
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 Og Gud sagde: Jorden lade fremvokse Græs, Urter, som give Sæd, frugtbare Træer, som bære Frugt efter sit Slags og have sin Sæd i sig paa Jorden; og det skete saa.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth: and it was so.
12 Og Jorden frembragte Græs, Urter, som gave Sæd efter sit Slags, og Træer, som bare Frugt og havde sin Sæd i sig efter sit Slags; og Gud saa, at det var godt.
And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 Og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, tredje Dag.
And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 Og Gud sagde: Der vorde Lys paa Himmelens udstrakte Befæstning, at gøre Skilsmisse imellem Dagen og imellem Natten; og de skulle være til Tegn og til bestemte Tider og til Dage og Aar.
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 Og de skulle være til Lys paa Himmelens udstrakte Befæstning til at lyse over Jorden; og det skete saa.
And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light on the earth: and it was so.
16 Og Gud gjorde de to store Lys, det store Lys at regere Dagen og det lille Lys at regere Natten og Stjernerne.
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 Og Gud satte dem paa Himmelens udstrakte Befæstning til at lyse over Jorden
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light on the earth,
18 og til at regere om Dagen og om Natten og til at skille imellem Lyset og imellem Mørket; og Gud saa, at det var godt.
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 Og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, fjerde Dag.
And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 Og Gud sagde: Vandet vrimle med en Vrimmel af levende Væsener, og Fugle skulle flyve over Jorden imod Himmelens udstrakte Befæstning.
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 Og Gud skabte de store Havdyr og alle Haande levende Væsener, som krybe, hvilke vrimle i Havet, efter sit Slags og alle Haande Fugle med Vinger efter sit Slags; og Gud saa, at det var godt.
And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 Og Gud velsignede dem og sagde: Vorder frugtbare og mangfoldige, og fylder Vandene i Havet, og Fuglene vorde mangfoldige paa Jorden.
And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 Og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, femte Dag.
And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 Og Gud sagde: Jorden frembringe levende Dyr efter sit Slags, Fæ og Kryb og vilde Dyr paa Jorden efter sit Slags; og det skete saa.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 Og Gud gjorde vilde Dyr paa Jorden efter sit Slags og Fæ efter sit Slags og alle Haande Kryb paa Jorden efter sit Slags; og Gud saa, at det var godt.
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creeps on the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 Og Gud sagde: Lader os gøre et Menneske i vort Billede, efter vor Lignelse; og de skulle regere over Havets Fiske og over Himmelens Fugle og over Fæet og over al Jorden og over alt Kryb, som kryber paa Jorden.
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 creeps on the earth.
27 Og Gud skabte Mennesket i sit Billede, han skabte det i Guds Billede; Mand og Kvinde skabte han dem.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 Og Gud velsignede dem, og Gud sagde til dem: Vorder frugtbare og mangfoldige, og opfylder Jorden, og gører eder den underdanig, og regerer over Havets Fiske og over Himmelens Fugle og over hvert Dyr, som kryber paa Jorden.
And God blessed them, and God said to 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 moves on the earth.
29 Og Gud sagde: Se, jeg har givet eder alle Urter, som give Sæd, som ere over al Jorden, og alle Haande Træer, i hvilke er Træers Frugt, som have Sæd; de skulle være eder til Føde.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 Og alle Dyr paa Jorden og alle Fugle under Himmelen og alt Kryb paa Jorden, i hvilke er en levende Sjæl, har jeg givet alle Haande grønne Urter til at æde; og det skete saa.
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creeps on the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 Og Gud saa alt det, han havde gjort, og se, det var meget godt; og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, den sjette Dag.
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
