Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heauen and the earth.
Pada mulanya, waktu Allah mulai menciptakan alam semesta,
2 And the earth was without forme and void, and darkenesse was vpon the deepe, and the Spirit of God mooued vpon 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 Then God said, Let there be light: And there was light.
Allah berkata, "Jadilah terang!" Lalu ada terang.
4 And God saw the light that it was good, and God separated the light from the darkenes.
Allah senang melihat hal itu. Lalu dipisahkan-Nya terang itu dari gelap,
5 And God called the Light, Day, and the darkenes, he called Night. So the euening and the morning were the first day.
dan dinamakan-Nya terang itu "Siang" dan gelap itu "Malam". Malam lewat, dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang pertama.
6 Againe God said, Let there be a firmament in the mids of the waters: and let it 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 Then God made the firmament, and separated the waters, which were vnder the firmament, from the waters which were aboue the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heauen. So the Euening and the morning were the second day.
Kubah itu dinamakan-Nya "Langit". Malam lewat dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang kedua.
9 God said againe, Let the waters vnder the heauen be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appeare. 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 And God called the dry land, Earth, and he called the gathering together of the waters, 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 bud forth the bud of the herbe, that seedeth seed, the fruitfull tree, which beareth fruite according to his kinde, which hath his seede in it selfe vpon the earth: 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 And the earth brought foorth the bud of the herbe, that seedeth seede according to his kind, also the tree that beareth fruit, which hath his seed in it selfe according to his kinde: and God saw that it was good.
Demikianlah tanah mengeluarkan segala macam tumbuh-tumbuhan. Dan Allah senang melihat hal itu.
13 So the euening and the morning were the third day.
Malam lewat dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang ketiga.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heauen, to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signes, and for seasons, and for dayes and yeeres.
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 be for lights in the firmament of the heauen to giue light vpon the earth: and it was so.
16 God then made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesse light to rule the night: he made also the starres.
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 God set them in the firmament of the heauen, to shine vpon the earth,
Allah menempatkan benda-benda terang itu di langit untuk menerangi bumi,
18 And to rule in the day, and in the night, and to separate the light from the darkenesse: 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 So the euening and the morning were the fourth day.
Malam lewat, dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang keempat.
20 Afterward God said, Let the waters bring foorth in abundance euery creeping thing that hath life: and let the foule flie vpon the earth in the open firmament of the heauen.
Kemudian Allah berkata, "Hendaklah di dalam air berkeriapan banyak macam makhluk hidup, dan di udara beterbangan banyak burung-burung."
21 Then God created the great whales, and euery thing liuing and mouing, which the waters brought foorth in abundance according to their kinde, and euery fethered foule according to his kinde: and God sawe 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, saying, Bring foorth fruite and multiplie, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the foule multiplie in 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 So the euening and the morning were the fifte day.
Malam lewat dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang kelima.
24 Moreouer God said, Let the earth bring foorth the liuing thing according to his kinde, cattel, and that which creepeth, and the beast of the earth, according to his kinde. 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 And God made the beast of the earth according to his kinde, and the cattell according to his kinde, and euery creeping thing of the earth according to his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Demikianlah Allah membuat semuanya itu dan ia senang melihat hal itu.
26 Furthermore God said, Let vs make man in our image according to our likenes, and let them rule ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the heauen, and ouer the beastes, and ouer all the earth, and ouer euery thing that creepeth and moueth on 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 Thus God created the man in his image: in the image of God created he him: he created them male and female.
Demikianlah Allah menciptakan manusia, dan dijadikannya mereka seperti diri-Nya sendiri. Diciptakan-Nya mereka laki-laki dan perempuan.
28 And God blessed them, and God said to them, Bring forth fruite and multiplie, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the heauen, and ouer euery beast that moueth vpon 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, Beholde, I haue giuen vnto you euery herbe bearing seede, which is vpon al the earth, and euery tree, wherein is the fruite of a tree bearing seede: that shall be to you for meate.
Untuk makananmu Kuberikan kepadamu segala jenis tumbuhan yang menghasilkan biji-bijian dan buah-buahan.
30 Likewise to euery beast of the earth, and to euery foule of the heauen, and to euery thing that moueth vpon the earth, which hath life in it selfe, euery greene herbe shall be for meate. 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 sawe all that he had made, and loe, it was very good. So the euening and the morning were the sixt day.
Allah memandang segala sesuatu yang telah dibuat-Nya itu, dan Ia sangat senang. Malam lewat dan jadilah pagi. Itulah hari yang keenam.
