Genesis 1
1 In the bigynnyng God made of nouyt heuene and erthe.
V začetku je Bog ustvaril nebo in zemljo.
2 Forsothe the erthe was idel and voide, and derknessis weren on the face of depthe; and the Spiryt of the Lord was borun on the watris.
Zemlja pa je bila brez oblike ter prazna in tema je bila na obličju globin in Božji Duh se je premikal na obličju vodá.
3 And God seide, Liyt be maad, and liyt was maad.
[1. dan] Bog je rekel: »Naj bo svetloba.« In bila je svetloba.
4 And God seiy the liyt, that it was good, and he departide the liyt fro derknessis,
Bog je videl svetlobo, da je bila dobra in Bog je ločil svetlobo od teme.
5 and he clepide the liyt, dai, and the derknessis, nyyt. And the euentid and morwetid was maad, o daie.
Bog je svetlobo imenoval Dan, temo pa je imenoval Noč. In večer in jutro sta bila prvi dan.
6 And God seide, The firmament be maad in the myddis of watris, and departe watris fro watris.
[2. dan] Bog je rekel: »Naj bo nebesni svod na sredi vodá in naj razdeli vode od vodá.«
7 And God made the firmament, and departide the watris that weren vndur the firmament fro these watris that weren on the firmament; and it was don so.
Bog je naredil nebesni svod in razdelil vode, ki so bile pod nebesnim svodom od vodá, ki so bile nad nebesnim svodom. In bilo je tako.
8 And God clepide the firmament, heuene. And the euentid and morwetid was maad, the secounde dai.
Bog je nebesni svod imenoval Nebo. In večer in jutro sta bila drugi dan.
9 Forsothe God seide, The watris, that ben vndur heuene, be gaderid in to o place, and a drie place appere; and it was doon so.
[3. dan] Bog je rekel: »Naj bodo vode pod nebom zbrane skupaj na en kraj in naj se pojavi kopna zemlja.« In bilo je tako.
10 And God clepide the drie place, erthe; and he clepide the gadryngis togidere of watris, the sees. And God seiy that it was good;
Bog je kopno zemljo imenoval Zemlja, zbiranje skupnih vodá pa je imenoval Morja, in Bog je videl, da je bilo to dobro.
11 and seide, The erthe brynge forth greene eerbe and makynge seed, and appil tre makynge fruyt bi his kynde, whos seed be in it silf on erthe; and it was doon so.
Bog je rekel: »Naj zemlja rodi travo, zelišče, ki obrodi seme in sadno drevo, ki obrodi sad po svoji vrsti, čigar seme je v njem samem na zemlji.« In bilo je tako.
12 And the erthe brouyte forth greene erbe and makynge seed bi his kynde, and a tre makynge fruyt, and ech hauynge seed by his kynde. And God seiy that it was good.
Zemlja je rodila travo in zelišče, ki obrodi seme po svoji vrsti in drevo, ki obrodi sad po svoji vrsti, čigar seme je v njem samem, po njegovi vrsti. In Bog je videl, da je bilo to dobro.
13 And the euentid and morwetid was maad, the thridde dai.
In večer in jutro sta bila tretji dan.
14 Forsothe God seide, Liytis be maad in the firmament of heuene, and departe tho the dai and niyt; and be tho in to signes, and tymes, and daies, and yeeris;
[4. dan] Bog je rekel: »Naj bodo svetilke na nebesnem svodu neba, da razdelijo dan od noči; in naj bodo za znamenja, za letne dobe, za dneve in leta,
15 and shyne tho in the firmament of heuene, and liytne tho the erthe; and it was doon so.
in naj bodo za svetilke na nebesnem svodu neba, da na zemljo dajejo svetlobo.« In bilo je tako.
16 And God made twei grete liytis, the gretter liyt that it schulde be bifore to the dai, and the lesse liyt that it schulde be bifore to the niyt;
Bog je naredil dve veliki luči: svetlejšo luč, da vlada dnevu in šibkejšo luč, da vlada noči; naredil je tudi zvezde.
17 and God made sterris; and settide tho in the firmament of heuene, that tho schulden schyne on erthe,
Bog jih je postavil v nebesni svod neba, da na zemljo dajejo svetlobo
18 and that tho schulden be bifore to the dai and nyyt, and schulden departe liyt and derknesse. And God seiy that it was good.
in da vladajo nad dnevom in nad nočjo in da ločijo svetlobo od teme. In Bog je videl, da je bilo to dobro.
19 And the euentid and the morwetid was maad, the fourthe dai.
In večer in jutro sta bila četrti dan.
20 Also God seide, The watris brynge forth a `crepynge beeste of lyuynge soule, and a brid fleynge aboue erthe vndur the firmament of heuene.
[5. dan] Bog je rekel: »Naj vode obilno rodijo gibljivo ustvarjeno bitje, ki ima življenje in perjad, da lahko leti nad zemljo v odprtem nebesnem svodu neba.«
21 And God made of nouyt grete whallis, and ech lyuynge soule and mouable, whiche the watris han brouyt forth in to her kyndis; and God made of nouyt ech volatile bi his kynde. And God seiy that it was good;
Bog je ustvaril velikanske kite in vsako živo ustvarjeno bitje, ki se giblje, ki so jih vode obilno rodile po svoji vrsti in vsako krilato perjad po svoji vrsti. In Bog je videl, da je bilo to dobro.
22 and blesside hem, and seide, Wexe ye, and be ye multiplied, and fille ye the watris of the see, and briddis be multiplied on erthe.
Bog jih je blagoslovil, rekoč: »Bodite rodovitne in se množite ter napolnite vode v morjih in naj se perjad pomnoži na zemlji.«
23 And the euentid and the morwetid was maad, the fyuethe dai.
In večer in jutro sta bila peti dan.
24 And God seide, The erthe brynge forth a lyuynge soul in his kynde, werk beestis, and `crepynge beestis, and vnresonable beestis of erthe, bi her kyndis; and it was don so.
[6. dan] Bog je rekel: »Naj zemlja rodi živo ustvarjeno bitje po svoji vrsti, živino in plazečo stvar in žival zemlje po svoji vrsti.« In bilo je tako.
25 And God made vnresonable beestis of erthe bi her kyndes, and werk beestis, `and ech crepynge beeste of erthe in his kynde. And God seiy that it was good; and seide,
Bog je naredil žival zemlje po svoji vrsti in živino po svoji vrsti in vsako stvar, ki se plazi po zemlji, po svoji vrsti. In Bog je videl, da je bilo to dobro.
26 Make we man to oure ymage and liknesse, and be he souereyn to the fischis of the see, and to the volatilis of heuene, and to vnresonable beestis of erthe, and to ech creature, and to ech `crepynge beest, which is moued in erthe.
Bog je rekel: »Naredimo človeka po naši podobi, po naši podobnosti in naj imata gospostvo nad ribo morja in nad zračno perjadjo in nad živino in nad vso zemljo in nad vsako plazečo stvarjo, ki se plazi na zemlji.«
27 And God made of nouyt a man to his ymage and liknesse; God made of nouyt a man, to the ymage of God; God made of nouyt hem, male and female.
Tako je Bog ustvaril človeka po svoji lastni podobi, po Božji podobi ga je ustvaril Bog. Moškega in žensko ju je ustvaril.
28 And God blesside hem, and seide, Encreesse ye, and be ye multiplied, and fille ye the erthe, and make ye it suget, and be ye lordis to fischis of the see, and to volatilis of heuene, and to alle lyuynge beestis that ben moued on erthe.
Bog ju je blagoslovil in Bog jima je rekel: »Bodita rodovitna in se množita in napolnita zemljo ter si jo podjarmita in imejta gospostvo nad ribami morja in nad zračno perjadjo in nad vsako živo stvarjo, ki se giblje na zemlji.«
29 And God seide, Lo! Y haue youe to you ech eerbe berynge seed on erthe, and alle trees that han in hem silf the seed of her kynde, that tho be in to mete to you;
Bog je rekel: »Glejta, dal sem vama vsako zeleno zelišče, ki obrodi seme, ki je na obličju vse zemlje in vsako drevo, na katerem je sad drevesa, ki obrodi seme; naj vama bo to za hrano.
30 and to alle lyuynge beestis of erthe, and to ech brid of heuene, and to alle thingis that ben moued in erthe, and in whiche is a lyuynge soule, that tho haue to ete; and it was doon so.
Vsaki zemeljski živali in vsaki zračni perjadi in vsaki stvari, ki se plazi na zemlji, v kateri je življenje, sem dal za hrano vsako zeleno zelišče.« In bilo je tako.
31 And God seiy alle thingis whiche he made, and tho weren ful goode. And the euentid and morwetid was maad, the sixte day.
Bog je videl vsako stvar, ki jo je naredil, in glej, to je bilo zelo dobro. In večer in jutro sta bila šesti dan.
