Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Başlangıçta Tanrı göğü ve yeri yarattı.
2 Now the earth was formless and empty, and darkness was on the surface of the watery depths. And God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.
Yer boştu, yeryüzü şekilleri yoktu; engin karanlıklarla kaplıydı. Tanrı'nın Ruhu suların üzerinde hareket ediyordu.
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
Tanrı, “Işık olsun” diye buyurdu ve ışık oldu.
4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness.
Tanrı ışığın iyi olduğunu gördü ve onu karanlıktan ayırdı.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. There was evening and there was morning, one day.
Işığa “Gündüz”, karanlığa “Gece” adını verdi. Akşam oldu, sabah oldu ve ilk gün oluştu.
6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." And it was so.
Tanrı, “Suların ortasında bir kubbe olsun, suları birbirinden ayırsın” diye buyurdu.
7 And God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse.
Ve öyle oldu. Tanrı gökkubbeyi yarattı. Kubbenin altındaki suları üstündeki sulardan ayırdı.
8 And God called the expanse Sky. And God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a second day.
Kubbeye “Gök” adını verdi. Akşam oldu, sabah oldu ve ikinci gün oluştu.
9 And God said, "Let the waters under the sky be gathered to one gathering, and let the dry land appear." And it was so. And the waters under the sky gathered to their gatherings, and the dry land appeared.
Tanrı, “Göğün altındaki sular bir yere toplansın, kuru toprak görünsün” diye buyurdu ve öyle oldu.
10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
Kuru alana “Kara”, toplanan sulara “Deniz” adını verdi. Tanrı bunun iyi olduğunu gördü.
11 And God said, "Let the earth produce vegetation, plants yielding seed after its kind, and fruit trees bearing fruit with seed in it after its kind, on the earth." And it was so.
Tanrı, “Yeryüzü bitkiler, tohum veren otlar, türüne göre tohumu meyvesinde bulunan meyve ağaçları üretsin” diye buyurdu ve öyle oldu.
12 And the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after its kind, and fruit trees bearing fruit with seed in it after its kind, on the earth. And God saw that it was good.
Yeryüzü bitkiler, türüne göre tohum veren otlar, tohumu meyvesinde bulunan meyve ağaçları yetiştirdi. Tanrı bunun iyi olduğunu gördü.
13 There was evening and there was morning, a third day.
Akşam oldu, sabah oldu ve üçüncü gün oluştu.
14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky for the illumination of the day, to give light on the earth, and to rule the day and the night, and to separate between the day and the night. And let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and for years,
Tanrı şöyle buyurdu: “Gökkubbede gündüzü geceden ayıracak, yeryüzünü aydınlatacak ışıklar olsun. Belirtileri, mevsimleri, günleri, yılları göstersin.” Ve öyle oldu.
15 and let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so.
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.
Tanrı büyüğü gündüze, küçüğü geceye egemen olacak iki büyük ışığı ve yıldızları yarattı.
17 And God set them in the expanse of the sky to shine on the earth,
Yeryüzünü aydınlatmak, gündüze ve geceye egemen olmak, ışığı karanlıktan ayırmak için onları gökkubbeye yerleştirdi. Tanrı bunun iyi olduğunu gördü.
18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
Akşam oldu, sabah oldu ve dördüncü gün oluştu.
20 And God said, "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let flying creatures fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky." And it was so.
Tanrı, “Sular canlı yaratıklarla dolup taşsın, yeryüzünün üzerinde, gökte kuşlar uçuşsun” diye buyurdu.
21 And God created the large sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after its kind, and every winged flying creature after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Tanrı büyük deniz canavarlarını, sularda kaynaşan canlıları ve uçan çeşitli varlıkları yarattı. Bunun iyi olduğunu gördü.
22 And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the flying creatures multiply on the earth."
Tanrı, “Verimli olun, çoğalın, denizleri doldurun, yeryüzünde kuşlar çoğalsın” diyerek onları kutsadı.
23 There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
Akşam oldu, sabah oldu ve beşinci gün oluştu.
24 And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after its kind: tame animals, and crawling creatures, and wild animals of the earth after its kind." And it was so.
Tanrı, “Yeryüzü çeşit çeşit canlı yaratık, evcil ve yabanıl hayvan, sürüngen türetsin” diye buyurdu. Ve öyle oldu.
25 And God made the wild animals of the earth after its kind, and the tame animals after its kind, and everything that crawls on the ground after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Tanrı çeşit çeşit yabanıl hayvan, evcil hayvan, sürüngen yarattı. Bunun iyi olduğunu gördü.
26 And God said, "Let us make humankind in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of the sky, and over the tame animals, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creature that crawls on the earth." And it was so.
Tanrı, “Kendi suretimizde, kendimize benzer insan yaratalım” dedi, “Denizdeki balıklara, gökteki kuşlara, evcil hayvanlara, sürüngenlere, yeryüzünün tümüne egemen olsun.”
27 And God created humankind in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.
Tanrı insanı kendi suretinde yarattı, onu Tanrı'nın suretinde yarattı. Onları erkek ve dişi olarak yarattı.
28 And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of the sky, and over all the tame animals, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over all the creatures that crawl on the earth."
Onları kutsayarak, “Verimli olun, çoğalın” dedi, “Yeryüzünü doldurun ve denetiminize alın; denizdeki balıklara, gökteki kuşlara, yeryüzünde yaşayan bütün canlılara egemen olun.
29 And God said, "Look, I have given you every plant yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.
İşte yeryüzünde tohum veren her otu, tohumu meyvesinde bulunan her meyve ağacını size veriyorum. Bunlar size yiyecek olacak.
30 And to every wild animal of the earth, and to every tame animal of the earth, and to every flying creature of the sky, and to every creature that crawls on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green plant for food."
Yabanıl hayvanlara, gökteki kuşlara, sürüngenlere –soluk alıp veren bütün hayvanlara– yiyecek olarak yeşil otları veriyorum.” Ve öyle oldu.
31 And God saw everything that he had made, and look, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
Tanrı yarattıklarına baktı ve her şeyin çok iyi olduğunu gördü. Akşam oldu, sabah oldu ve altıncı gün oluştu.
