Pirmā Mozus 1
1 Iesākumā Dievs radīja debesis un zemi.
Long, long ago God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Un zeme bija tumša un tukša, un tumsa bija pār dziļumiem, un Dieva Gars lidinājās pa ūdeņu virsu.
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.
3 Un Dievs sacīja: Lai top gaisma. Tad tapa gaisma.
God said, “I want light to shine!” And light shone.
4 Un Dievs redzēja gaismu labu esam. Un Dievs šķīra gaismu no tumsas.
God was pleased with the light. Then he made the light to shine in some places, and in other places there was still darkness.
5 Un Dievs nosauca gaismu par dienu, un tumsu Viņš nosauca par nakti. Un tapa vakars un tapa rīts, pirmā diena.
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’.
6 Tad Dievs sacīja: Lai top izplatījums ūdeņu starpā un lai tas šķir ūdeni no ūdens.
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!”
7 Un Dievs darīja izplatījumu, un darīja starpu to ūdeni, kas izplatījuma apakšā, un to ūdeni, kas izplatījuma virsū; un tā notika.
And that is what happened. God gave to the space the name ‘sky’.
8 Un Dievs nosauca izplatījumu par debesi. Un tapa vakars un tapa rīts, otra diena.
Then there was another evening, which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the second day’.
9 Tad Dievs sacīja: Lai ūdens debess apakšā krājās vienā vietā, ka sausums top redzams; un tā notika.
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.
10 Un Dievs nosauca sausumu par zemi, un to ūdeņu krājumu Viņš nosauca par jūru. Un Dievs redzēja to labu esam.
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.
11 Un Dievs sacīja: Lai zeme izdod zaļumu un zāli, kas savu sēklu nes, auglīgus kokus, kas augļus nes pēc savas kārtas, kam sava sēkla iekš sevis ir virs zemes; un tā notika.
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.”
12 Un zeme izdeva zaļumu un zāli, kas savu sēklu nes pēc savas kārtas, un kokus, kas augļus nes, kam sava sēkla iekš sevis pēc savas kārtas. Un Dievs redzēja to labu esam.
Then plants grew on the earth; each kind of plant began to produce its own kind of seed.
13 Un tapa vakars un tapa rīts, trešā diena.
Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. God called that period of time ‘the third day’.
14 Tad Dievs sacīja: Lai top spīdekļi debess izplatījumā, kas šķir dienu no nakts un kas dod zīmes un laikus un dienas un gadus;
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.
15 Un lai tie ir par spīdekļiem debess izplatījumā un spīd virs zemes; un tā notika.
I want them also to be like lights in the sky that will shine on the earth.” And that is what happened.
16 Un Dievs darīja divus lielus spīdekļus, lielāko spīdekli, dienu valdīt un mazāko spīdekli, naktī valdīt, - un zvaigznes.
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.
17 Un Dievs tos lika debess izplatījumā, lai tie spīd uz zemi.
God set all of them in the sky to shine on the earth,
18 Un valda dienu un nakti un šķir gaismu no tumsas. Un Dievs redzēja to labu esam.
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.
19 Un tapa vakars un tapa rīts, ceturtā diena.
Then there was another evening which was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fourth day’.
20 Tad Dievs sacīja: Lai pa pulkiem rodas ūdenī kustošas dzīvas dvašas un putni, kas virs zemes skrien apakš debess izplatījuma.
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.”
21 Un Dievs radīja lielus jūras zvērus un visādas dzīvas dvašas, kas lien, ko ūdens pa pulkiem izdod pēc viņu kārtām, un visādus spārnainus putnus pēc viņu kārtas. Un Dievs redzēja to labu esam.
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.
22 Un Dievs tos svētīja sacīdams: Vaislojaties un vairojaties un piepildiet ūdeni jūrā, un putni lai vairojās virs zemes.
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.
23 Un tapa vakars un tapa rīts, piektā diena.
Then there was another evening that was followed by another morning. He called that period of time ‘the fifth day’.
24 Tad Dievs sacīja: Lai zeme izdod dzīvas dvašas pēc viņu kārtas, lopus, tārpus un zemes zvērus pēc viņu kārtas; un tā notika.
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.
25 Un Dievs darīja zemes zvērus pēc viņu kārtas un lopus pēc viņu kārtas un visādus zemes tārpus pēc viņu kārtas. Un Dievs redzēja to labu esam.
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.
26 Un Dievs sacīja: Darīsim cilvēkus pēc mūsu ģīmja, pēc mūsu līdzības, lai tie valda pār zivīm jūrā un pār putniem apakš debess un pār lopiem un pār visu zemi un pār visiem tārpiem, kas lien virs zemes.
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.”
27 Un Dievs radīja cilvēku pēc Sava ģīmja, pēc Dieva ģīmja Viņš to radīja, un radīja tos, vīrieti un sievieti.
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.
28 Un Dievs tos svētīja, un Dievs uz tiem sacīja: Augļojaties un vairojaties un piepildiet zemi un pārvaldiet to un valdat pār zivīm jūrā un pār putniem apakš debess un pār visām dvašām, kas lien virs zemes.
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.”
29 Un Dievs sacīja: Redzi, Es jums esmu devis visādu zāli, kas nes sēklu, kas ir pa visu zemes virsu, un visus kokus, kam savi augļi iekš sevis un kas nes sēklu, jums par ēdamo.
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.
30 Un visiem zvēriem virs zemes un visiem putniem apakš debess un visiem tārpiem virs zemes, kam dzīva dvaša, esmu devis visādu zaļu zāli par barību. Un tā notika.
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.
31 Un Dievs uzlūkoja visu, ko Viņš bija darījis, un redzi, tas bija ļoti labs. Un tapa vakars un tapa rīts, sestā diena.
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’.
