1 Mosebog 1
1 I Begyndelsen skabte Gud Himmelen og Jorden.
B'resheet Elohim bara' ·In the beginning of the beginning, God created from nothingness· the heavens and the earth.
2 Og Jorden var øde og tom, og der var Mørke over Verdensdybet. Men Guds Ånd svævede over Vandene.
Earth was tohu v'bohu ·void and chaos·. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and Ruach Elohim ·Spirit of God· was hovering over the surface of the waters.
3 Og Gud sagde: "Der blive Lys!" Og der blev Lys.
God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4 Og Gud så, at Lyset var godt, og Gud satte Skel mellem Lyset og Mørket,
God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness.
5 og Gud kaldte Lyset Dag, og Mørket kaldte han Nat. Og det blev Aften, og det blev Morgen, første Dag.
God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night”. There was evening and there was morning, the first yom ·period of time, day·.
6 Derpå sagde Gud: "Der blive en Hvælving midt i Vandene til at skille Vandene ad!"
God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”
7 Og således skete det: Gud gjorde Hvælvingen og skilte Vandet under Hvælvingen fra Vandet over Hvælvingen;
God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so·.
8 og Gud kaldte Hvælvingen Himmel. Og det blev Aften, og det blev Morgen, anden Dag.
God called the expanse “shamayim ·sky, heavens·”. There was evening and there was morning, a second yom ·period of time, day·.
9 Derpå sagde Gud: "Vandet under Himmelen samle sig på eet Sted, så det faste Land kommer til Syne!" Og således skete det;
God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear;” and it was so.
10 og Gud kaldte det faste Land Jord, og Stedet, hvor Vandet samlede sig, kaldte han Hav. Og Gud så, at det var godt.
God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathering together of the waters he called “sea”. God saw that it was good.
11 Derpå sagde Gud: "Jorden lade fremspire grønne Urter, der bærer Frø, og Frugttræer, der bærer Frugt med Kærne, på Jorden!" Og således skete det:
God said, “Let the earth yield grass, herbs yielding seeds, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with their seeds in it, on the earth;” and it was so.
12 Jorden frembragte grønne Urter, der bar Frø, efter deres Arter, og Træer, der bar Frugt med Kærne, efter deres Arter. Og Gud så, at det var godt.
The earth yielded grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with their seeds in it, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.
13 Og det blev Aften, og det blev Morgen, tredje Dag.
There was evening and there was morning, a third yom ·period of time, day·.
14 Derpå sagde Gud: "Der komme Lys på Himmelhvælvingen til at skille Dag fra Nat, og de skal være til Tegn og til Fastsættelse af Højtider, Dage og År
God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs to mark seasons and appointed times, days, and years;
15 og tjene som Lys på Himmelhvælvingen til at lyse på Jorden! Og således sket det:
and let them be for lights in the expanse of sky to give light on the earth;” and it was so.
16 Gud gjorde de to store Lys, det største til at herske om Dagen, det mindste til at herske om Natten, og Stjernerne;
God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars.
17 og Gud satte dem på Himmelhvælvingen til at lyse på Jorden
God set them in the expanse of sky to give light to the earth,
18 og til at herske over Dagen og Natten og til at skille Lyset fra Mørket. Og Gud så, at det var godt.

19 Og det blev Aften, og det blev Morgen, fjerde Dag.
There was evening and there was morning, a fourth 'yom ·period of time, day·.
20 Derpå sagde Gud: "Vandet vrimle med en Vrimmel af levende Væsener, og Fugle flyve over Jorden oppe under Himmelhvælvingen!" Og således skete det:
God said, “Let the waters abound with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of sky.”
21 Gud skabte de store Havdyr og den hele Vrimmel af levende Væsener, som Vandet vrimler med, efter deres Arter, og alle vingede Væsener efter deres Arter. Og Gud så, at det var godt.
God created the large sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good.
22 Og Gud velsignede dem og sagde: "Bliv frugtbare og mangfoldige og opfyld Vandet i Havene, og Fuglene blive mangfoldige på Jorden!"
God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”
23 Og det blev Aften, og det blev Morgen, femte Dag.
There was evening and there was morning, a fifth 'yom ·period of time, day·.
24 Derpå sagde Gud: "Jorden frembringe levende Væsener efter deres Arter: Kvæg, Kryb og vildtlevende Dyr efter deres Arter! Og således skete det:
God said, “Let the earth produce nefesh chai ·soul living· creatures after their kind, livestock, creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind;” and it was so.
25 Gud gjorde de vildtlevende Dyr efter deres Arter, Kvæget efter dets Arter og alt Jordens Kryb efter dets Arter. Og Gud så, at det var godt.
God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good.
26 Derpå sagde Gud: "Lad os gøre Mennesker i vort Billede, så de ligner os, til at herske over Havets Fisk og Himmelens Fugle, Kvæget og alle vildtlevende Dyr på Jorden og alt Kryb, der kryber på Jorden!"
God said, “Let us make a 'adam ·human· in our image, after our likeness: and let them have authority over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 Og Gud skabte Mennesket i sit Billede; i Guds Billede skabte han det, som Mand og Kvinde skabte han dem;
God created man in his own likeness. In God’s image he created him; zachar ·male· and n'keivah ·female· he created them.
28 og Gud velsignede dem, og Gud sagde til dem: "Bliv frugtbare og mangfoldige og opfyld Jorden, gør eder til Herre over den og hersk over Havets Fisk og Himmelens Fugle, Kvæget og alle vildtlevende Dyr, der rører sig på Jorden!"
God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and bring it into subjection, subdue it. Have authority over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
29 Gud sagde fremdeles: "Jeg giver eder alle Urter på hele Jorden, som bærer Frø, og alle Træer, som bærer Frugt med Kærne; de skal være eder til Føde;
God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.
30 men alle Jordens dyr og alle Himmelens Fugle og alt, hvad der kryber på Jorden, og som har Livsånde, giver jeg alle grønne Urter til Føde." Og således skete det.
To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so.

God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was m'ohd tov ·exceedingly good·. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth 'yom ·period of time, day·.
