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
And the earth was waste and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

And God said, Let there be light. And there was light.
4 et vidit Deus lucem quod esset bona et divisit lucem ac tenebras

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. And there was evening, and there was morning — the first 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 be a division between waters and waters.
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 divided between the waters that are under the expanse and the waters that are above the expanse; and it was so.
8 vocavitque Deus firmamentum caelum et factum est vespere et mane dies secundus

9 dixit vero Deus congregentur aquae quae sub caelo sunt in locum unum et appareat arida factumque est ita

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 gathering together of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

And God said, Let the earth cause grass to spring up, herb producing seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, the seed of which is in them, on the earth. And it was so.

14 dixit autem Deus fiant luminaria in firmamento caeli ut dividant diem ac noctem et sint in signa et tempora et dies et annos

15 ut luceant in firmamento caeli et inluminent terram et factum est ita
and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens, 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 great light to rule the day, and the small 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 heavens, to give light on the earth,
18 et praeessent diei ac nocti et dividerent lucem ac tenebras et vidit Deus quod esset bonum

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 souls, and let fowl fly above the earth in the expanse of the heavens.
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 great sea monsters, and every living soul that moves with which the waters swarm, after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind. And God saw that it was good.

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 fowl of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over the whole earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth on the earth.

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 fowl of the heavens, and over every animal that moveth on the earth.
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, Behold, I have given you every herb producing seed that is on the whole earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree producing seed: it shall be food for you;
30 et cunctis animantibus terrae omnique volucri caeli et universis quae moventur in terra et in quibus est anima vivens ut habeant ad vescendum et factum est ita
and to every animal of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth on the earth, in which is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it was so.
