Postanak 1
1 U poèetku stvori Bog nebo i zemlju.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
2 A zemlja bješe bez oblièja i pusta, i bješe tama nad bezdanom; i duh Božji dizaše se nad vodom.
The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.
3 I reèe Bog: neka bude svjetlost. I bi svjetlost.
God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4 I vidje Bog svjetlost da je dobra; i rastavi Bog svjetlost od tame.
God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness.
5 I svjetlost nazva Bog dan, a tamu nazva noæ. I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan prvi.
God called the light “day”, and the darkness he called “night”. There was evening and there was morning, the first day.
6 Potom reèe Bog: neka bude svod posred vode, da rastavlja vodu od vode.
God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”
7 I stvori Bog svod, i rastavi vodu pod svodom od vode nad svodom; i bi tako.
God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.
8 A svod nazva Bog nebo. I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan drugi.
God called the expanse “sky”. There was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 Potom reèe Bog: neka se sabere voda što je pod nebom na jedno mjesto, i neka se pokaže suho. I bi tako.
God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear;” and it was so.
10 I suho nazva Bog zemlja, a zborišta vodena nazva mora; i vidje Bog da je dobro.
God called the dry land “earth”, and the gathering together of the waters he called “seas”. God saw that it was good.
11 Opet reèe Bog: neka pusti zemlja iz sebe travu, bilje, što nosi sjeme, i drvo rodno, koje raða rod po svojim vrstama, u kojem æe biti sjeme njegovo na zemlji. I bi tako.
God said, “Let the earth yield grass, herbs yielding seeds, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with their seeds in it, on the earth;” and it was so.
12 I pusti zemlja iz sebe travu, bilje, što nosi sjeme po svojim vrstama, i drvo, koje raða rod, u kojem je sjeme njegovo po njegovijem vrstama. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
The earth yielded grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with their seeds in it, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.
13 I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan treæi.
There was evening and there was morning, a third day.
14 Potom reèe Bog: neka budu vidjela na svodu nebeskom, da dijele dan i noæ, da budu znaci vremenima i danima i godinama;
God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs to mark seasons, days, and years;
15 I neka svijetle na svodu nebeskom, da obasjavaju zemlju. I bi tako.
and let them be for lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth;” and it was so.
16 I stvori Bog dva vidjela velika: vidjelo veæe da upravlja danom, i vidjelo manje da upravlja noæu, i zvijezde.
God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars.
17 I postavi ih Bog na svodu nebeskom da obasjavaju zemlju.
God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light to the earth,
18 I da upravljaju danom i noæu, i da dijele svjetlost od tame. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good.
19 I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan èetvrti.
There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 Potom reèe Bog: neka vrve po vodi žive duše, i ptice neka lete iznad zemlje pod svod nebeski.
God said, “Let the waters abound with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.”
21 I stvori Bog kitove velike i sve žive duše što se mièu, što provrvješe po vodi po vrstama svojim, i sve ptice krilate po vrstama njihovijem. I vidje Bog da je dobro;
God created the large sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good.
22 I blagoslovi ih Bog govoreæi: raðajte se i množite se, i napunite vodu po morima, i ptice neka se množe na zemlji.
God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”
23 I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan peti.
There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 Potom reèe Bog: neka zemlja pusti iz sebe duše žive po vrstama njihovijem, stoku i sitne životinje i zvijeri zemaljske po vrstama njihovijem. I bi tako.
God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures after their kind, livestock, creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind;” and it was so.
25 I stvori Bog zvijeri zemaljske po vrstama njihovijem, i stoku po vrstama njezinijem, i sve sitne životinje na zemlji po vrstama njihovijem. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good.
26 Potom reèe Bog: da naèinimo èovjeka po svojemu oblièju, kao što smo mi, koji æe biti gospodar od riba morskih i od ptica nebeskih i od stoke i od cijele zemlje i od svijeh životinja što se mièu po zemlji.
God said, “Let’s make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 I stvori Bog èovjeka po oblièju svojemu, po oblièju Božijemu stvori ga; muško i žensko stvori ih.
God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.
28 I blagoslovi ih Bog, i reèe im Bog: raðajte se i množite se, i napunite zemlju, i vladajte njom, i budite gospodari od riba morskih i od ptica nebeskih i od svega zvjerinja što se mièe po zemlji.
God blessed them. God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
29 I još reèe Bog: evo, dao sam vam sve bilje što nosi sjeme po svoj zemlji, i sva drveta rodna koja nose sjeme; to æe vam biti za hranu.
God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.
30 A svjemu zvjerinju zemaljskom i svjema pticama nebeskim i svjemu što se mièe na zemlji i u èem ima duša živa, dao sam svu travu da jedu. I bi tako.
To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so.
31 Tada pogleda Bog sve što je stvorio, i gle, dobro bješe veoma. I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan šesti.
God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
