Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created heaven, and earth.
Pada mulanya, waktu Allah mulai menciptakan alam semesta,
2 And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over 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: Be light made. And light was made.
Allah berkata, "Jadilah terang!" Lalu ada terang.
4 And God saw the light that it was good; and he divided the light from the darkness.
Allah senang melihat hal itu. Lalu dipisahkan-Nya terang itu dari gelap,
5 And he called the light Day, and the darkness Night; and there was evening and morning one 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 a firmament made amidst the waters: and let it divide 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 And God made a firmament, and divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament, and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament, Heaven; and the evening and morning were the second day.
Kubah itu dinamakan-Nya "Langit". Malam lewat dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang kedua.
9 God also said: Let the waters that are under the heaven, be gathered together into one place: and let the dry land appear. And it was so done.
Kemudian Allah berkata, "Hendaklah air yang ada di bawah langit mengalir ke satu tempat, sehingga tanah akan kelihatan." Lalu hal itu terjadi.
10 And God called the dry land, Earth; and the gathering together of the 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 And he said: Let the earth bring forth the green herb, and such as may seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, which may have seed in itself upon the earth. And it was so done.
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 And the earth brought forth the green herb, and such as yieldeth seed according to its kind, and the tree that beareth fruit, having seed each one according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Demikianlah tanah mengeluarkan segala macam tumbuh-tumbuhan. Dan Allah senang melihat hal itu.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
Malam lewat dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang ketiga.
14 And God said: Let there be lights made in the firmament of heaven, to divide the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for 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 To shine in the firmament of heaven, and to give light upon the earth. And it was so done.
16 And God made two great lights: a greater light to rule the day; and a lesser light to rule the night: and the stars.
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 And he set them in the firmament of heaven to shine upon the earth.
Allah menempatkan benda-benda terang itu di langit untuk menerangi bumi,
18 And to rule the day and the night, and to divide the light and 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 the evening and morning were the fourth day.
Malam lewat, dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang keempat.
20 God also said: Let the waters bring forth the creeping creature having life, and the fowl that may fly over the earth under the firmament of heaven.
Kemudian Allah berkata, "Hendaklah di dalam air berkeriapan banyak macam makhluk hidup, dan di udara beterbangan banyak burung-burung."
21 And God created the great whales, and every living and moving creature, which the waters brought forth, according to their kinds, and every winged fowl according to 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 And he blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea: and let the birds be multiplied upon 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 the evening and morning were the fifth day.
Malam lewat dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang kelima.
24 And God said: Let the earth bring forth the living creature in its kind, cattle and creeping things, and beasts of the earth, according to their kinds. And it was so done.
Kemudian Allah berkata, "Hendaklah bumi mengeluarkan segala jenis binatang darat, yang jinak dan yang liar, besar maupun kecil." Lalu hal itu terjadi.
25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, and cattle, and every thing that creepeth on the earth after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Demikianlah Allah membuat semuanya itu dan ia senang melihat hal itu.
26 And he said: Let us make man to our image and likeness: and let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts, and the whole earth, and every creeping creature that moveth upon the earth.
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 And God created man to his own image: to 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 And God blessed them, saying: Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and all living creatures that move 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 And God said: Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed upon the earth, and all trees that have in themselves seed of their own kind, to be your meat:
Untuk makananmu Kuberikan kepadamu segala jenis tumbuhan yang menghasilkan biji-bijian dan buah-buahan.
30 And to all beasts of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to all that move upon the earth, and wherein there is life, that they may have to feed upon. And it was so done.
Tetapi kepada segala burung dan binatang liar lainnya, Kuberikan rumput dan tanaman berdaun sebagai makanannya." Maka hal itu terjadi.
31 And God saw all the things that he had made, and they were very good. And the evening and morning were 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.
