Бытие 1
1 В начале сотвори Бог небо и землю.
In the beginning, God created heaven and earth.
2 Земля же бе невидима и неустроена, и тма верху бездны, и Дух Божий ношашеся верху воды.
But the earth was empty and unoccupied, and darknesses were over the face of the abyss; and so the Spirit of God was brought over the waters.
3 И рече Бог: да будет свет. И бысть свет.
And God said, “Let there be light.” And light became.
4 И виде Бог свет, яко добро, и разлучи Бог между светом и между тмою.
And God saw the light, that it was good; and so he divided the light from the darknesses.
5 И нарече Бог свет день, а тму нарече нощь. И бысть вечер, и бысть утро, день един.
And he called the light, ‘Day,’ and the darknesses, ‘Night.’ And it became evening and morning, one day.
6 И рече Бог: да будет твердь посреде воды, и да будет разлучающи посреде воды и воды. И бысть тако.
God also said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide waters from waters.”
7 И сотвори Бог твердь, и разлучи Бог между водою, яже бе под твердию, и между водою, яже бе над твердию.
And God made a firmament, and he divided the waters that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament. And so it became.
8 И нарече Бог твердь небо. И виде Бог, яко добро. И бысть вечер, и бысть утро, день вторый.
And God called the firmament ‘Heaven.’ And it became evening and morning, the second day.
9 И рече Бог: да соберется вода, яже под небесем, в собрание едино, и да явится суша. И бысть тако. И собрася вода, яже под небесем, в собрания своя, и явися суша.
Truly God said: “Let the waters that are under heaven be gathered together into one place; and let the dry land appear.” And so it became.
10 И нарече Бог сушу землю, и собрания вод нарече моря. И виде Бог, яко добро.
And God called the dry land, ‘Earth,’ and he called the gathering of the waters, ‘Seas.’ And God saw that it was good.
11 И рече Бог: да прорастит земля былие травное, сеющее семя по роду и по подобию, и древо плодовитое творящее плод, емуже семя его в нем, по роду на земли. И бысть тако.
And he said, “Let the land spring forth green plants, both those producing seed, and fruit-bearing trees, producing fruit according to their kind, whose seed is within itself, over all the earth.” And so it became.
12 И изнесе земля былие травное, сеющее семя по роду и по подобию, и древо плодовитое творящее плод, емуже семя его в нем, по роду на земли. И виде Бог, яко добро.
And the land brought forth green plants, both those producing seed, according to their kind, and trees producing fruit, with each having its own way of sowing, according to its species. And God saw that it was good.
13 И бысть вечер, и бысть утро, день третий.
And it became evening and the morning, the third day.
14 И рече Бог: да будут светила на тверди небесней, освещати землю и разлучати между днем и между нощию: и да будут в знамения и во времена, и во дни и в лета,
Then God said: “Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven. And let them divide day from night, and let them become signs, both of the seasons, and of the days and years.
15 и да будут в просвещение на тверди небесней, яко светити по земли. И бысть тако.
Let them shine in the firmament of heaven and illuminate the earth.” And so it became.
16 И сотвори Бог два светила великая: светило великое в начала дне, и светило меншее в начала нощи, и звезды:
And God made two great lights: a greater light, to rule over the day, and a lesser light, to rule over the night, along with the stars.
17 и положи я Бог на тверди небесней, яко светити на землю,
And he set them in the firmament of heaven, to give light over all the earth,
18 и владети днем и нощию, и разлучати между светом и между тмою. И виде Бог, яко добро.
and to rule over the day as well as the night, and to divide light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 И бысть вечер, и бысть утро, день четвертый.
And it became evening and morning, the fourth day.
20 И рече Бог: да изведут воды гады душ живых, и птицы летающыя по земли, по тверди небесней. И бысть тако.
And then God said, “Let the waters produce animals with a living soul, and flying creatures above the earth, under the firmament of heaven.”
21 И сотвори Бог киты великия, и всяку душу животных гадов, яже изведоша воды по родом их, и всяку птицу пернату по роду. И виде Бог, яко добра.
And God created the great sea creatures, and everything with a living soul and the ability to move that the waters produced, according to their species, and all the flying creatures, according to their kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 И благослови я Бог, глаголя: раститеся и множитеся, и наполните воды, яже в морях, и птицы да умножатся на земли.
And he blessed them, saying: “Increase and multiply, and fill the waters of the sea. And let the birds be multiplied above the land.”
23 И бысть вечер, и бысть утро, день пятый.
And it became evening and morning, the fifth day.
24 И рече Бог: да изведет земля душу живу по роду, четвероногая и гады, и звери земли по роду. И бысть тако.
God also said, “Let the land produce living souls in their kind: cattle, and animals, and wild beasts of the earth, according to their species.” And so it became.
25 И сотвори Бог звери земли по роду, и скоты по роду их, и вся гады земли по роду их. И виде Бог, яко добра.
And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their species, and the cattle, and every animal on the land, according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 И рече Бог: сотворим человека по образу Нашему и по подобию, и да обладает рыбами морскими, и птицами небесными, (и зверми) и скотами, и всею землею, и всеми гады пресмыкающимися по земли.
And he said: “Let us make Man to our image and likeness. And let him rule over the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the air, and the wild beasts, and the entire earth, and every animal that moves on the earth.”
27 И сотвори Бог человека, по образу Божию сотвори его: мужа и жену сотвори их.
And God created man to his own image; to the image of God he created him; male and female, he created them.
28 И благослови их Бог, глаголя: раститеся и множитеся, и наполните землю, и господствуйте ею, и обладайте рыбами морскими, (и зверми) и птицами небесными, и всеми скотами, и всею землею, и всеми гадами пресмыкающимися по земли.
And God blessed them, and he said, “Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
29 И рече Бог: се, дах вам всякую траву семенную сеющую семя, еже есть верху земли всея: и всякое древо, еже имать в себе плод семене семеннаго, вам будет в снедь:
And God said: “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant upon the earth, and all the trees that have in themselves the ability to sow their own kind, to be food for you,
30 и всем зверем земным, и всем птицам небесным, и всякому гаду пресмыкающемуся по земли, иже имать в себе душу живота, и всяку траву зелену в снедь. И бысть тако.
and for all the animals of the land, and for all the flying things of the air, and for everything that moves upon the earth and in which there is a living soul, so that they may have these on which to feed.” And so it became.
31 И виде Бог вся, елика сотвори: и се добра зело. И бысть вечер, и бысть утро, день шестый.
And God saw everything that he had made. And they were very good. And it became evening and morning, the sixth day.
