Genesis 1
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
I Begyndelsen skabte Gud Himmelen og Jorden.
2 Now, the earth, had become waste and wild, and darkness, was on the face of the roaring deep, —but, the Spirit of God, was brooding on the face of the waters,
Og Jorden var øde og tom, og der var Mørke oven over Afgrunden, og Guds Aand svævede oven over Vandene.
3 And God said—Light, be, And light was.
Og Gud sagde: Der vorde Lys; og der blev Lys.
4 And God saw the light, that it was, good, and God divided the light, from the, darkness;
Og Gud saa, at Lyset var godt, og Gud gjorde Skilsmisse imellem Lyset og Mørket.
5 and God called the light, day, but the darkness, called he, night. So it was evening—and it was morning, one 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 an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it be a means of dividing, between waters and waters,
Og Gud sagde: Der vorde en udstrakt Befæstning midt i Vandene, og den skal skille imellem Vand og Vand.
7 And God made the expanse, and it divided between the waters that were under the expanse and the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so.
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 expanse, heavens. So it was evening—and it was morning, a, 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 waters under the heavens be gathered together, into one place, and let the dry—ground appear. And it was so.
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-ground, land, but the gathering together of the waters, called he 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 land put-forth vegetation—herb yielding seed, fruit-tree, bearing fruit after its kind, whose seed is within it on the land. 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 land brought-forth vegetation—herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, whose seed is within it, after its kind, 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 So it was evening—and it was morning, a third day.
Og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, tredje Dag.
14 And God said—Let there be luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to divide between the day and the night, —and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and 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 yea let them be for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on 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 luminaries, —the greater luminary to rule the day, and the lesser luminary to rule the night, also the stars.
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 set them in the expanse of the heavens, —to give light on the earth;
Og Gud satte dem paa Himmelens udstrakte Befæstning til at lyse over Jorden
18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from 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 So it was evening—and it was morning, a fourth day.
Og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, fjerde Dag.
20 And God said—Let the waters swarm with an abundance of living soul, and, birds, shall fly over the earth, over the face of the expanse of the heavens.
Og Gud sagde: Vandet vrimle med en Vrimmel af levende Væsener, og Fugle skulle flyve over Jorden imod Himmelens udstrakte Befæstning.
21 And God created the great sea-monsters, —and every living soul that moveth—[with] which the waters swarmed after their kind and every winged bird—after its kind. And God saw that it was 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, —Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let, the birds, multiply in the land.
Og Gud velsignede dem og sagde: Vorder frugtbare og mangfoldige, og fylder Vandene i Havet, og Fuglene vorde mangfoldige paa Jorden.
23 So it was evening—and it was morning, a fifth day.
Og der blev Aften, og der blev Morgen, femte Dag.
24 And God said—Let the land, bring forth, living soul, after its kind, tame-beast and creeping thing and wild-beast, of the land, after its 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-beast of the land after its kind, and the tame-beast after its kind, and every creeping thing of the ground, after its kind. And God saw that it was 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 in our image after our likeness—and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the bird of the heavens and over the tame-beast—and over all the land, and over every creeping thing, that creepeth on the land.
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 created the man in his own image, In the image of God, created he him, —Male and female, created he, 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, and God said to them Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, —and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the bird of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth on the land.
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—Lo! I have given to you—every herb yielding seed which is on the face of all the land, and every tree wherein is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, —to you, shall it 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 every living thing of the land—and to every bird of the heavens, and to every thing that moveth on the land, wherein is a living soul, every green herb 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 every thing which he had made, and lo! it was very good. So it was evening—and it 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.
