Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
In principio creavit Deus caelum, et terram.
2 And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God was waving over the face of the waters.
Terra autem erat inanis et vacua, et tenebrae erant super faciem abyssi: et Spiritus Domini 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 the light that it was good; and God divided between the light and the darkness.
Et vidit Deus lucem quod esset bona: et divisit lucem a tenebris.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And it was evening and it 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 expansion in the midst of the waters, and let it divide between waters and waters.
Dixit quoque Deus: Fiat firmamentum in medio aquarum: et dividat aquas ab aquis.
7 And God made the expansion, and divided between the waters which were under the expansion and the waters which were above the expansion: 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 And God called the expansion Heaven. And it was evening and it 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 heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land be visible: and it was so.
Dixit vero Deus: Congregentur aquae, quae sub caelo sunt, in locum unum: et appareat arida. Et factum est ita.
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.
Et vocavit Deus aridam, Terram, congregationesque aquarum appellavit Maria. Et vidit Deus quod esset bonum.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, herbs yielding seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, in which its seed is upon the earth: and it was so.
Et ait: Germinet terra herbam virentem, et facientem semen, et lignum pomiferum faciens fructum iuxta genus suum, cuius semen in semetipso sit super terram. Et factum est ita.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees yielding fruit, in which its seed is after their kind: and God saw that it was good.
Et protulit terra herbam virentem, et facientem semen iuxta genus suum, lignumque faciens fructum, et habens unumquodque sementem secundum speciem suam. Et vidit Deus quod esset bonum.
13 And it was evening and it was morning, the third day.
Et factum est vespere et mane, dies tertius.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the expansion of the heaven to divide between the day and the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years;
Dixit autem Deus: Fiant luminaria in firmamento caeli, et dividant diem ac noctem, et sint in signa et tempora, et dies et annos:
15 And let them be for lights in the expansion of the heaven, to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
ut luceant in firmamento caeli, et illuminent terram. Et factum est ita.
16 And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; and the stars.
Fecitque Deus duo luminaria magna: luminare maius, ut praeesset diei: et luminare minus, ut praeesset nocti: et stellas.
17 And God set them in the expansion of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Et posuit eas in firmamento caeli, ut lucerent super terram,
18 And to rule by day and by night, and to divide between the light and 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 it was evening and it was morning, the fourth day.
Et factum est vespere et mane, dies quartus.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly moving creatures that have life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open expansion of the heaven.
Dixit etiam Deus: Producant aquae reptile animae viventis, et volatile super terram sub firmamento caeli.
21 And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind, and every winged fowl 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 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the fowl multiply on the earth.
Benedixitque eis, dicens: Crescite, et multiplicamini, et replete aquas maris: avesque multiplicentur super terram.
23 And it was evening and it was morning, the fifth day.
Et factum est vespere et mane, dies quintus.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind: 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 And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after 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 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and they shall have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
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 And God created man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Et creavit Deus hominem ad imaginem et similitudinem suam: ad imaginem Dei creavit illum, masculum et feminam creavit eos.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Benedixitque illis Deus, et ait: Crescite et multiplicamini, et replete terram, et subiicite eam, et dominamini piscibus maris, et volatilibus caeli, et universis animantibus, quae moventur super terram.
29 And God said, Behold I have given unto you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree on which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food.
Dixitque Deus: Ecce dedi vobis omnem herbam afferentem semen super terram, et universa ligna quae habent in semetipsis sementem generis sui, ut sint vobis in escam:
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heaven, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, [I have given] every green herb 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 saw every thing that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And it was evening and it was morning, the sixth day.
Viditque Deus cuncta quae fecerat: et erant valde bona. Et factum est vespere et mane, dies sextus.
