Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
in principio creavit Deus caelum et terram
2 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.
terra autem erat inanis et vacua et tenebrae super faciem abyssi et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
dixitque Deus fiat lux et facta est lux
4 And God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.
et vidit Deus lucem quod esset bona et divisit lucem ac tenebras
5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
appellavitque lucem diem et tenebras noctem factumque est vespere et mane dies unus
6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.”
dixit quoque Deus fiat firmamentum in medio aquarum et dividat aquas ab aquis
7 So God made the expanse and separated the waters beneath it from the waters above. And it was so.
et fecit Deus firmamentum divisitque aquas quae erant sub firmamento ab his quae erant super firmamentum et factum est ita
8 God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
vocavitque Deus firmamentum caelum et factum est vespere et mane dies secundus
9 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.
dixit vero Deus congregentur aquae quae sub caelo sunt in locum unum et appareat arida factumque est ita
10 God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathering of waters He called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
et vocavit Deus aridam terram congregationesque aquarum appellavit maria et vidit Deus quod esset bonum
11 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.
et ait germinet terra herbam virentem et facientem semen et lignum pomiferum faciens fructum iuxta genus suum cuius semen in semet ipso sit super terram et factum est ita
12 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.
et protulit terra herbam virentem et adferentem semen iuxta genus suum lignumque faciens fructum et habens unumquodque sementem secundum speciem suam et vidit Deus quod esset bonum
13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.
factumque est vespere et mane dies tertius
14 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.
dixit autem Deus fiant luminaria in firmamento caeli ut dividant diem ac noctem et sint in signa et tempora et dies et annos
15 And let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth.” And it was so.
ut luceant in firmamento caeli et inluminent terram et factum est ita
16 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.
fecitque Deus duo magna luminaria luminare maius ut praeesset diei et luminare minus ut praeesset nocti et stellas
17 God set these lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth,
et posuit eas in firmamento caeli ut lucerent super terram
18 to preside over the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
et praeessent diei ac nocti et dividerent lucem ac tenebras et vidit Deus quod esset bonum
19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
et factum est vespere et mane dies quartus
20 And God said, “Let the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.”
dixit etiam Deus producant aquae reptile animae viventis et volatile super terram sub firmamento caeli
21 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.
creavitque Deus cete grandia et omnem animam viventem atque motabilem quam produxerant aquae in species suas et omne volatile secundum genus suum et vidit Deus quod esset bonum
22 Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters of the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”
benedixitque eis dicens crescite et multiplicamini et replete aquas maris avesque multiplicentur super terram
23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
et factum est vespere et mane dies quintus
24 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.
dixit quoque Deus producat terra animam viventem in genere suo iumenta et reptilia et bestias terrae secundum species suas factumque est ita
25 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.
et fecit Deus bestias terrae iuxta species suas et iumenta et omne reptile terrae in genere suo et vidit Deus quod esset bonum
26 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.”
et ait faciamus hominem ad imaginem et similitudinem nostram et praesit piscibus maris et volatilibus caeli et bestiis universaeque terrae omnique reptili quod movetur in terra
27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
et creavit Deus hominem ad imaginem suam ad imaginem Dei creavit illum masculum et feminam creavit eos
28 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.”
benedixitque illis Deus et ait crescite et multiplicamini et replete terram et subicite eam et dominamini piscibus maris et volatilibus caeli et universis animantibus quae moventur super terram
29 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.
dixitque Deus ecce dedi vobis omnem herbam adferentem semen super terram et universa ligna quae habent in semet ipsis sementem generis sui ut sint vobis in escam
30 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.
et cunctis animantibus terrae omnique volucri caeli et universis quae moventur in terra et in quibus est anima vivens ut habeant ad vescendum et factum est ita
31 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.
viditque Deus cuncta quae fecit et erant valde bona et factum est vespere et mane dies sextus
