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 over Verdensdybet. Men Guds Ånd svævede over Vandene.
3 And God said—Light, be, And light was.
Og Gud sagde: "Der blive 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 så, at Lyset var godt, og Gud satte Skel mellem 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 det blev Aften, og det 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,
Derpå sagde Gud: "Der blive en Hvælving midt i Vandene til at skille Vandene ad!"
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 således skete det: Gud gjorde Hvælvingen og skilte Vandet under Hvælvingen fra Vandet over Hvælvingen;
8 And God called the expanse, heavens. So it was evening—and it was morning, a, second day.
og Gud kaldte Hvælvingen Himmel. Og det blev Aften, og det 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.
Derpå sagde Gud: "Vandet under Himmelen samle sig på eet Sted, så det faste Land kommer til Syne!" Og således skete det;
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 faste Land Jord, og Stedet, hvor Vandet samlede sig, kaldte han Hav. Og Gud så, 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,
Derpå sagde Gud: "Jorden lade fremspire grønne Urter, der bærer Frø, og Frugttræer, der bærer Frugt med Kærne, på Jorden!" Og således skete det:
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.
Jorden frembragte grønne Urter, der bar Frø, efter deres Arter, og Træer, der bar Frugt med Kærne, efter deres Arter. Og Gud så, at det var godt.
13 So it was evening—and it was morning, a third day.
Og det blev Aften, og det 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;
Derpå sagde Gud: "Der komme Lys på Himmelhvælvingen til at skille Dag fra Nat, og de skal være til Tegn og til Fastsættelse af Højtider, Dage og År
15 yea let them be for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens, to give light on the earth. And it was so.
og tjene som Lys på Himmelhvælvingen til at lyse på Jorden! Og således sket det:
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.
Gud gjorde de to store Lys, det største til at herske om Dagen, det mindste til at herske om Natten, og Stjernerne;
17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens, —to give light on the earth;
og Gud satte dem på Himmelhvælvingen til at lyse på 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 herske over Dagen og Natten og til at skille Lyset fra Mørket. Og Gud så, at det var godt.
19 So it was evening—and it was morning, a fourth day.
Og det blev Aften, og det 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.
Derpå sagde Gud: "Vandet vrimle med en Vrimmel af levende Væsener, og Fugle flyve over Jorden oppe under Himmelhvælvingen!" Og således skete det:
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.
Gud skabte de store Havdyr og den hele Vrimmel af levende Væsener, som Vandet vrimler med, efter deres Arter, og alle vingede Væsener efter deres Arter. Og Gud så, 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: "Bliv frugtbare og mangfoldige og opfyld Vandet i Havene, og Fuglene blive mangfoldige på Jorden!"
23 So it was evening—and it was morning, a fifth day.
Og det blev Aften, og det 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.
Derpå sagde Gud: "Jorden frembringe levende Væsener efter deres Arter: Kvæg, Kryb og vildtlevende Dyr efter deres Arter! Og således skete det:
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.
Gud gjorde de vildtlevende Dyr efter deres Arter, Kvæget efter dets Arter og alt Jordens Kryb efter dets Arter. Og Gud så, 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.
Derpå sagde Gud: "Lad os gøre Mennesker i vort Billede, så de ligner os, til at herske over Havets Fisk og Himmelens Fugle, Kvæget og alle vildtlevende Dyr på Jorden og alt Kryb, der kryber på 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; i Guds Billede skabte han det, som 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: "Bliv frugtbare og mangfoldige og opfyld Jorden, gør eder til Herre over den og hersk over Havets Fisk og Himmelens Fugle, Kvæget og alle vildtlevende Dyr, der rører sig på 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;
Gud sagde fremdeles: "Jeg giver eder alle Urter på hele Jorden, som bærer Frø, og alle Træer, som bærer Frugt med Kærne; de skal 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.
men alle Jordens dyr og alle Himmelens Fugle og alt, hvad der kryber på Jorden, og som har Livsånde, giver jeg alle grønne Urter til Føde." Og således skete det.
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 så alt, hvad han havde gjort, og se, det var såre godt. Og det blev Aften, og det blev Morgen, sjette Dag.
