Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Pada mulanya, waktu Allah mulai menciptakan alam semesta,
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.
bumi belum berbentuk, dan masih kacau-balau. Samudra yang bergelora, yang menutupi segala sesuatu, diliputi oleh gelap gulita, tetapi kuasa Allah bergerak di atas permukaan air.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
Allah berkata, "Jadilah terang!" Lalu ada terang.
4 And God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.
Allah senang melihat hal itu. Lalu dipisahkan-Nya terang itu dari gelap,
5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
dan dinamakan-Nya terang itu "Siang" dan gelap itu "Malam". Malam lewat, dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang pertama.
6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.”
Kemudian Allah berkata, "Jadilah sebuah kubah untuk membagi air itu menjadi dua, dan menahannya dalam dua tempat yang terpisah." Lalu hal itu terjadi. Demikianlah Allah membuat kubah yang memisahkan air yang ada di bawah kubah itu dari air yang ada di atasnya.
7 So God made the expanse and separated the waters beneath it from the waters above. And it was so.
8 God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
Kubah itu dinamakan-Nya "Langit". Malam lewat dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang kedua.
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.
Kemudian Allah berkata, "Hendaklah air yang ada di bawah langit mengalir ke satu tempat, sehingga tanah akan kelihatan." Lalu hal itu terjadi.
10 God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathering of waters He called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
Allah menamakan tanah itu "Darat", dan kumpulan air itu dinamakan-Nya "Laut". Dan Allah senang melihat hal itu.
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.
Allah berkata lagi, "Hendaklah tanah mengeluarkan segala macam tumbuh-tumbuhan, yaitu jenis yang menghasilkan biji-bijian dan jenis yang menghasilkan buah-buahan." Lalu hal itu terjadi.
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.
Demikianlah tanah mengeluarkan segala macam tumbuh-tumbuhan. Dan Allah senang melihat hal itu.
13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.
Malam lewat dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang ketiga.
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.
Kemudian Allah berkata, "Hendaklah ada benda-benda terang di langit untuk menerangi bumi, untuk memisahkan siang dari malam, dan untuk menunjukkan saat mulainya hari, tahun, dan hari raya agama." Maka hal itu terjadi.
15 And let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth.” And it was so.
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.
Demikianlah Allah membuat kedua benda terang yang besar, yaitu matahari untuk menguasai siang, dan bulan untuk menguasai malam; selain itu dibuat-Nya juga bintang-bintang.
17 God set these lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth,
Allah menempatkan benda-benda terang itu di langit untuk menerangi bumi,
18 to preside over the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
untuk menguasai siang dan malam, dan untuk memisahkan terang dari gelap. Dan Allah senang melihat hal itu.
19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
Malam lewat, dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang keempat.
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.”
Kemudian Allah berkata, "Hendaklah di dalam air berkeriapan banyak macam makhluk hidup, dan di udara beterbangan banyak burung-burung."
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.
Maka Allah menciptakan binatang-binatang raksasa laut, dan segala jenis makhluk yang hidup di dalam air, serta segala jenis burung. Dan Allah senang melihat hal itu.
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.”
Allah memberkati semuanya itu dengan memberi perintah kepada makhluk yang hidup di dalam air supaya berkembang biak dan memenuhi laut, dan kepada burung-burung supaya bertambah banyak.
23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
Malam lewat dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang kelima.
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.
Kemudian Allah berkata, "Hendaklah bumi mengeluarkan segala jenis binatang darat, yang jinak dan yang liar, besar maupun kecil." Lalu hal itu terjadi.
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.
Demikianlah Allah membuat semuanya itu dan ia senang melihat hal itu.
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.”
Kemudian Allah berkata, "Sekarang Kita akan membuat manusia yang akan menjadi seperti Kita dan menyerupai Kita. Mereka akan berkuasa atas ikan-ikan, burung-burung, dan segala binatang lain, baik jinak maupun liar, baik besar maupun kecil."
27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Demikianlah Allah menciptakan manusia, dan dijadikannya mereka seperti diri-Nya sendiri. Diciptakan-Nya mereka laki-laki dan perempuan.
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.”
Kemudian diberkati-Nya mereka dengan ucapan "Beranakcuculah yang banyak, supaya keturunanmu mendiami seluruh muka bumi serta menguasainya. Kamu Kutugaskan mengurus ikan-ikan, burung-burung, dan semua binatang lain yang liar.
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.
Untuk makananmu Kuberikan kepadamu segala jenis tumbuhan yang menghasilkan biji-bijian dan buah-buahan.
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.
Tetapi kepada segala burung dan binatang liar lainnya, Kuberikan rumput dan tanaman berdaun sebagai makanannya." Maka hal itu terjadi.
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.
Allah memandang segala sesuatu yang telah dibuat-Nya itu, dan Ia sangat senang. Malam lewat dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang keenam.
