Genesis 1
1 in principio creavit Deus caelum et terram
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 terra autem erat inanis et vacua et tenebrae super faciem abyssi et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas
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.
3 dixitque Deus fiat lux et facta est lux
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
4 et vidit Deus lucem quod esset bona et divisit lucem ac tenebras
And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness.
5 appellavitque lucem diem et tenebras noctem factumque est vespere et mane dies unus
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. There was evening and there was morning, one day.
6 dixit quoque Deus fiat firmamentum in medio aquarum et dividat aquas ab aquis
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.
7 et fecit Deus firmamentum divisitque aquas quae erant sub firmamento ab his quae erant super firmamentum et factum est ita
And God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse.
8 vocavitque Deus firmamentum caelum et factum est vespere et mane dies secundus
And God called the expanse Sky. And God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 dixit vero Deus congregentur aquae quae sub caelo sunt in locum unum et appareat arida factumque est ita
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.
10 et vocavit Deus aridam terram congregationesque aquarum appellavit maria et vidit Deus quod esset bonum
And God called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11 et ait germinet terra herbam virentem et facientem semen et lignum pomiferum faciens fructum iuxta genus suum cuius semen in semet ipso sit super terram et factum est ita
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.
12 et protulit terra herbam virentem et adferentem semen iuxta genus suum lignumque faciens fructum et habens unumquodque sementem secundum speciem suam et vidit Deus quod esset bonum

14 dixit autem Deus fiant luminaria in firmamento caeli ut dividant diem ac noctem et sint in signa et tempora et dies et annos
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,
15 ut luceant in firmamento caeli et inluminent terram et factum est ita
and let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so.
16 fecitque Deus duo magna luminaria luminare maius ut praeesset diei et luminare minus ut praeesset nocti et stellas
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.
17 et posuit eas in firmamento caeli ut lucerent super terram
And God set them in the expanse of the sky to shine on the earth,
18 et praeessent diei ac nocti et dividerent lucem ac tenebras et vidit Deus quod esset bonum
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.
19 et factum est vespere et mane dies quartus

20 dixit etiam Deus producant aquae reptile animae viventis et volatile super terram sub firmamento caeli
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.
21 creavitque Deus cete grandia et omnem animam viventem atque motabilem quam produxerant aquae in species suas et omne volatile secundum genus suum et vidit Deus quod esset bonum
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.

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.
27 et creavit Deus hominem ad imaginem suam ad imaginem Dei creavit illum masculum et feminam creavit eos
And God created humankind in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.

29 dixitque Deus ecce dedi vobis omnem herbam adferentem semen super terram et universa ligna quae habent in semet ipsis sementem generis sui ut sint vobis in escam
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.

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."
