Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth.
I Begyndelsen skabte Gud Himmelen og Jorden.
2 But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved over the water.
Og Jorden var øde og tom, og der var Mørke oven over Afgrunden, og Guds Aand svævede oven over Vandene.
3 And God said, Let there be light, and there was light.
Og Gud sagde: Der vorde Lys; og der blev Lys.
4 And God saw the light that it was good, and God divided between the light and the darkness.
Og Gud saa, at Lyset var godt, og Gud gjorde Skilsmisse imellem Lyset og Mørket.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night, and there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
Og Gud kaldte Lyset Dag, og Mørket kaldte han Nat; og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, første Dag.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and let it be a division between water and water, and it was so.
Og Gud sagde: Der vorde en udstrakt Befæstning midt i Vandene, og den skal skille imellem Vand og Vand.
7 And God made the firmament, and God divided between the water which was under the firmament and the water which was above the firmament.
Og Gud gjorde den udstrakte Befæstning og gjorde Skilsmisse imellem Vandet, som var nedentil i den udstrakte Befæstning, og imellem Vandet, som var oventil i den udstrakte Befæstning; og det skete saa.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven, and God saw that it was good, and there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
Og Gud kaldte den udstrakte Befæstning Himmel; og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, anden Dag.
9 And God said, Let the water which is under the heaven be collected into one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And the water which was under the heaven was collected into its places, and the dry land appeared.
Og Gud sagde: Vandene under Himlene samle sig til eet Sted, at det tørre ses; og det skete saa.
10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters he called Seas, and God saw that it was good.
Og Gud kaldte det tørre Jord, og Vandenes Samling kaldte han Hav; og Gud saa, at det var godt.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and it was so.
Og Gud sagde: Jorden lade fremvokse Græs, Urter, som give Sæd, frugtbare Træer, som bære Frugt efter sit Slags og have sin Sæd i sig paa Jorden; og det skete saa.
12 And the earth brought forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and God saw that it was good.
Og Jorden frembragte Græs, Urter, som gave Sæd efter sit Slags, og Træer, som bare Frugt og havde sin Sæd i sig efter sit Slags; og Gud saa, at det var godt.
13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
Og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, tredje Dag.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, to divide between day and night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and for years.
Og Gud sagde: Der vorde Lys paa Himmelens udstrakte Befæstning, at gøre Skilsmisse imellem Dagen og imellem Natten; og de skulle være til Tegn og til bestemte Tider og til Dage og Aar.
15 And let them be for light in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth, and it was so.
Og de skulle være til Lys paa Himmelens udstrakte Befæstning til at lyse over Jorden; og det skete saa.
16 And God made the two great lights, the greater light for regulating the day and the lesser light for regulating the night, the stars also.
Og Gud gjorde de to store Lys, det store Lys at regere Dagen og det lille Lys at regere Natten og Stjernerne.
17 And God placed them in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth,
Og Gud satte dem paa Himmelens udstrakte Befæstning til at lyse over Jorden
18 and to regulate day and night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
og til at regere om Dagen og om Natten og til at skille imellem Lyset og imellem Mørket; og Gud saa, at det var godt.
19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
Og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, fjerde Dag.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth reptiles having life, and winged creatures flying above the earth in the firmament of heaven, and it was so.
Og Gud sagde: Vandet vrimle med en Vrimmel af levende Væsener, og Fugle skulle flyve over Jorden imod Himmelens udstrakte Befæstning.
21 And God made great whales, and every living reptile, which the waters brought forth according to their kinds, and every creature that flies with wings according to its kind, and God saw that they were good.
Og Gud skabte de store Havdyr og alle Haande levende Væsener, som krybe, hvilke vrimle i Havet, efter sit Slags og alle Haande Fugle med Vinger efter sit Slags; og Gud saa, at det var godt.
22 And God blessed them saying, Increase and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the creatures that fly be multiplied on the earth.
Og Gud velsignede dem og sagde: Vorder frugtbare og mangfoldige, og fylder Vandene i Havet, og Fuglene vorde mangfoldige paa Jorden.
23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
Og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, femte Dag.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind, quadrupeds and reptiles and wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and it was so.
Og Gud sagde: Jorden frembringe levende Dyr efter sit Slags, Fæ og Kryb og vilde Dyr paa Jorden efter sit Slags; og det skete saa.
25 And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and cattle according to their kind, and all the reptiles of the earth according to their kind, and God saw that they were good.
Og Gud gjorde vilde Dyr paa Jorden efter sit Slags og Fæ efter sit Slags og alle Haande Kryb paa Jorden efter sit Slags; og Gud saa, at det var godt.
26 And God said, Let us make man according to our image and likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of heaven, and over the cattle and all the earth, and over all the reptiles that creep on the earth.
Og Gud sagde: Lader os gøre et Menneske i vort Billede, efter vor Lignelse; og de skulle regere over Havets Fiske og over Himmelens Fugle og over Fæet og over al Jorden og over alt Kryb, som kryber paa Jorden.
27 And God made man, according to the image of God he made him, male and female he made them.
Og Gud skabte Mennesket i sit Billede, han skabte det i Guds Billede; Mand og Kvinde skabte han dem.
28 And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the seas and flying creatures of heaven, and all the cattle and all the earth, and all the reptiles that creep on the earth.
Og Gud velsignede dem, og Gud sagde til dem: Vorder frugtbare og mangfoldige, og opfylder Jorden, og gører eder den underdanig, og regerer over Havets Fiske og over Himmelens Fugle og over hvert Dyr, som kryber paa Jorden.
29 And God said, Behold I have given to you every seed-bearing herb sowing seed which is upon all the earth, and every tree which has in itself the fruit of seed that is sown, to you it shall be for food.
Og Gud sagde: Se, jeg har givet eder alle Urter, som give Sæd, som ere over al Jorden, og alle Haande Træer, i hvilke er Træers Frugt, som have Sæd; de skulle være eder til Føde.
30 And to all the wild beasts of the earth, and to all the flying creatures of heaven, and to every reptile creeping on the earth, which has in itself the breath of life, even every green plant for food; and it was so.
Og alle Dyr paa Jorden og alle Fugle under Himmelen og alt Kryb paa Jorden, i hvilke er en levende Sjæl, har jeg givet alle Haande grønne Urter til at æde; og det skete saa.
31 And God saw all the things that he had made, and, behold, they were very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Og Gud saa alt det, han havde gjort, og se, det var meget godt; og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, den sjette Dag.
