Genesis 1
1 Long, long ago God created the heavens and the earth.
В началото Бог създаде небето и земята.
2 When he began to create the earth, it was shapeless and completely desolate/chaotic. Darkness covered the deep water that surrounded the earth. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the water.
А земята беше пуста и неустроена; и тъмнина покриваше бездната; и Божият Дух се носеше над водата.
3 God said, “I want light to shine!” And light shone.
И Бог каза: Да бъде светлина. И стана светлина.
4 God was pleased with the light. Then he made the light to shine in some places, and in other places there was still darkness.
И Бог видя, че светлината беше добро; и Бог раздели светлината от тъмнината.
5 He gave to the light the name ‘day’, and he gave to the darkness the name ‘night’. After that, there was an evening which was followed by a morning. He called that whole period of time ‘the first day’.
И Бог нарече светлината Ден, а тъмнината нарече Нощ. И стана вечер, и стана утро, ден първи.
6 Then God said, “I command that there be an empty space like a huge dome to separate the water that is above it from the water on the earth that is below it!”
И Бог каза: Да бъде простор посред водите, който да раздели вода от вода.
7 And that is what happened. God gave to the space the name ‘sky’.
И Бог направи простора; и раздели водата, която беше под простора
8 Then there was another evening, which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the second day’.
И Бог нарече простора Небе. И стана вечер, и стана утро, ден втори.
9 Then God said, “I want the water that is below the sky to come together, and dry ground to appear and rise above the water.” And that is what happened.
И Бог каза: Да се събере на едно място водата, която е под небето, та да се яви сушата; и стана така.
10 God gave to the ground the name ‘earth’, and he gave to the water that came together the name ‘oceans’. God was pleased with the earth and the oceans.
И Бог нарече сушата Земя, и събраната вода нарече Морета; и Бог видя, че беше добро.
11 Then God said, “I want the earth to produce plants, including plants that will produce seeds and trees that will produce fruit. Each kind of tree will bear its own kind of fruit.”
И Бог каза: Да произрасти земята крехка трева, трева семеносна и плодно дърво, което да ражда плод, според вида си, чието семе да е в него на земята; и стана така.
12 Then plants grew on the earth; each kind of plant began to produce its own kind of seed.
Земята произрасти крехка трева, трева която дава семе, според вида си, и дърво, което да ражда плод, според вида си, чието семе е в него; и Бог видя че беше добро.
13 Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. God called that period of time ‘the third day’.
И стана вечер, и стана утро ден трети.
14 Then God said, “I want a sun, a moon, and many stars to shine in the sky. The sun will shine in the daytime and the moon and stars will shine during the nighttime. By the changes in their appearance they will indicate the various seasons (OR, the times for special celebrations), and will enable people to know when days and years begin.
И Бог каза: Да има светлина на небесния простор, за да разделят деня от нощта; нека служат за знаци и за показване времената, дните, годините;
15 I want them also to be like lights in the sky that will shine on the earth.” And that is what happened.
и да бъдат за светила на небесния простор, за да осветляват земята; и стана така.
16 God made two of them that were like big lights. The bigger one, the sun, shines during the day and the smaller one, the moon, shines during the night. He also made the stars.
Бог създаде двете големи светила: по-голямото светило, за да владее деня, а по-малкото светило, за да владее нощта; създаде и звездите.
17 God set all of them in the sky to shine on the earth,
И Бог ги постави на небесния простор, за да осветляват земята,
18 to rule the day and the night, and to separate the light of the daytime from the darkness of the nighttime. God was pleased with these things he had made.
да владеят деня и нощта, и да разделят светлината от тъмнината; и Бог видя, че беше добро.
19 Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fourth day’.
И стана вечер, и стана утро, ден четвърти.
20 Then God said, “I want many creatures to live in all the oceans, and I also want birds to fly in the sky above the earth.”
И Бог каза: Да произведе водата изобилно множества одушевени влечуги, и птици да хвърчат над земята по небесния простор.
21 So God created huge sea creatures and every other kind of creature that moves in the water, and caused them to live in all the oceans. He also created many kinds of birds. God was pleased with all those creatures.
И Бог създаде големите морски чудовища и всяко одушевено същество, което се движи, които водата произведе изобилно, според видовете им, и всяка крилата птица според вида й; и Бог видя, че беше добро.
22 God blessed them. He said, “Produce offspring and become very numerous. I want the creatures in the water to live in all the oceans, and birds also to become very numerous.” And that is what happened.
И благослови Бог, казвайки: Плодете се, размножавайте се, и напълнете водите в моретата; нека се размножават и птиците по земята.
23 Then there was another evening that was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fifth day’.
И стана вечер, и стана утро, ден пети.
24 Then God said, “I want various kinds of creatures to appear on the earth. There will be many kinds of (livestock/domestic animals), creatures that scurry across the ground, and large wild animals.” And that is what happened.
И Бог каза: Да произведе земята одушевени животни, според видовете им: добитък, влечуги и земни зверове, според видовете им; и стана така.
25 God made all kinds of wild animals and (livestock/domestic animals) and all kinds of creatures that scurry across the ground. God was pleased with all these creatures.
Бог създаде земните зверове според видовете им, добитъка - според видовете му, и всичко което пълзи по земята, според видовете му; И Бог видя, че беше добро.
26 Then God said, “Now we will make human beings that will be like us in many ways. I want them to rule over the fish in the sea, over the birds, over all the (livestock/domestic animals), and over all the other creatures that scurry across the ground.”
И Бог каза: Да създадем човека по Нашия образ, по Наше подобие; и нека владее над морските риби, над небесните птици, над добитъка, над цялата земя и над всяко животно, което пълзи по земята.
27 So God created human beings that were like him in many ways. He made them to be like himself. He created some to be male and some to be female.
и Бог създаде човека по Своя образ; по Божия образ го създаде; мъж и жена ги създаде.
28 God blessed them, saying, “Produce many children, who will live all over the earth and rule over it. I want them to rule over the fish and the birds and over all creatures that scurry across the ground.”
И Бог ги благослови. И рече им Бог: Плодете се и размножавайте, напълнете земята и обладайте я, и владейте над морските риби, над въздушните птици и над всяко живо същество, което се движи по земята.
29 God said to the humans, “Listen! I have given you all the plants that produce seeds, all over the earth, and all the trees that have seeds in their fruit. All these things are for you to eat.
И Бог рече: Вижте, давам ви всяка семеносна трева, която е по лицето на цялата земя и всяко дърво, което има в себе си плод на семеносно дърво; те ще ви бъдат за храна.
30 I have given all the green plants to all the wild animals and to the birds and to all the creatures that scurry across the ground, to everything that breathes, for them to eat.” And that is what happened.
А на всичките земни зверове, на всичките въздушни птици, и на всичко, което пълзи по земята, в което има живот, давам, всяка зелена трева за храна; и стана така.
31 God was pleased with everything that he had made. Truly, it was all very good. Then there was another evening, that was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the sixth day’.
И Бог видя всичко, което създаде; и, ето, беше твърде добро. И стана вечер, и стана утро, ден шести.
