Yaratiliş 1
1 Başlangıçta Tanrı göğü ve yeri yarattı.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 Yer boştu, yeryüzü şekilleri yoktu; engin karanlıklarla kaplıydı. Tanrı'nın Ruhu suların üzerinde hareket ediyordu.
And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God was waving over the face of the waters.
3 Tanrı, “Işık olsun” diye buyurdu ve ışık oldu.
And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.
4 Tanrı ışığın iyi olduğunu gördü ve onu karanlıktan ayırdı.
And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided between the light and the darkness.
5 Işığa “Gündüz”, karanlığa “Gece” adını verdi. Akşam oldu, sabah oldu ve ilk gün oluştu.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And it was evening and it was morning, the first day.
6 Tanrı, “Suların ortasında bir kubbe olsun, suları birbirinden ayırsın” diye buyurdu.
And God said, Let there be an expansion in the midst of the waters, and let it divide between waters and waters.
7 Ve öyle oldu. Tanrı gökkubbeyi yarattı. Kubbenin altındaki suları üstündeki sulardan ayırdı.
And God made the expansion, and divided between the waters which were under the expansion and the waters which were above the expansion: and it was so.
8 Kubbeye “Gök” adını verdi. Akşam oldu, sabah oldu ve ikinci gün oluştu.
And God called the expansion Heaven. And it was evening and it was morning, the second day.
9 Tanrı, “Göğün altındaki sular bir yere toplansın, kuru toprak görünsün” diye buyurdu ve öyle oldu.
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land be visible: and it was so.
10 Kuru alana “Kara”, toplanan sulara “Deniz” adını verdi. Tanrı bunun iyi olduğunu gördü.
And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 Tanrı, “Yeryüzü bitkiler, tohum veren otlar, türüne göre tohumu meyvesinde bulunan meyve ağaçları üretsin” diye buyurdu ve öyle oldu.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, herbs yielding seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, in which its seed is upon the earth: and it was so.
12 Yeryüzü bitkiler, türüne göre tohum veren otlar, tohumu meyvesinde bulunan meyve ağaçları yetiştirdi. Tanrı bunun iyi olduğunu gördü.
And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees yielding fruit, in which its seed is after their kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 Akşam oldu, sabah oldu ve üçüncü gün oluştu.
And it was evening and it was morning, the third day.
14 Tanrı şöyle buyurdu: “Gökkubbede gündüzü geceden ayıracak, yeryüzünü aydınlatacak ışıklar olsun. Belirtileri, mevsimleri, günleri, yılları göstersin.” Ve öyle oldu.
And God said, Let there be lights in the expansion of the heaven to divide between the day and the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years;
And let them be for lights in the expansion of the heaven, to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 Tanrı büyüğü gündüze, küçüğü geceye egemen olacak iki büyük ışığı ve yıldızları yarattı.
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 Yeryüzünü aydınlatmak, gündüze ve geceye egemen olmak, ışığı karanlıktan ayırmak için onları gökkubbeye yerleştirdi. Tanrı bunun iyi olduğunu gördü.
And God set them in the expansion of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
And to rule by day and by night, and to divide between the light and the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 Akşam oldu, sabah oldu ve dördüncü gün oluştu.
And it was evening and it was morning, the fourth day.
20 Tanrı, “Sular canlı yaratıklarla dolup taşsın, yeryüzünün üzerinde, gökte kuşlar uçuşsun” diye buyurdu.
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly moving creatures that have life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open expansion of the heaven.
21 Tanrı büyük deniz canavarlarını, sularda kaynaşan canlıları ve uçan çeşitli varlıkları yarattı. Bunun iyi olduğunu gördü.
And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 Tanrı, “Verimli olun, çoğalın, denizleri doldurun, yeryüzünde kuşlar çoğalsın” diyerek onları kutsadı.
And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the fowl multiply on the earth.
23 Akşam oldu, sabah oldu ve beşinci gün oluştu.
And it was evening and it was morning, the fifth day.
24 Tanrı, “Yeryüzü çeşit çeşit canlı yaratık, evcil ve yabanıl hayvan, sürüngen türetsin” diye buyurdu. Ve öyle oldu.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind: and it was so.
25 Tanrı çeşit çeşit yabanıl hayvan, evcil hayvan, sürüngen yarattı. Bunun iyi olduğunu gördü.
And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 Tanrı, “Kendi suretimizde, kendimize benzer insan yaratalım” dedi, “Denizdeki balıklara, gökteki kuşlara, evcil hayvanlara, sürüngenlere, yeryüzünün tümüne egemen olsun.”
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and they shall have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 Tanrı insanı kendi suretinde yarattı, onu Tanrı'nın suretinde yarattı. Onları erkek ve dişi olarak yarattı.
And God created man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 Onları kutsayarak, “Verimli olun, çoğalın” dedi, “Yeryüzünü doldurun ve denetiminize alın; denizdeki balıklara, gökteki kuşlara, yeryüzünde yaşayan bütün canlılara egemen olun.
And God blessed them, and God said unto 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 heaven, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 İşte yeryüzünde tohum veren her otu, tohumu meyvesinde bulunan her meyve ağacını size veriyorum. Bunlar size yiyecek olacak.
And God said, Behold I have given unto you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree on which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food.
30 Yabanıl hayvanlara, gökteki kuşlara, sürüngenlere –soluk alıp veren bütün hayvanlara– yiyecek olarak yeşil otları veriyorum.” Ve öyle oldu.
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heaven, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, [I have given] every green herb for food: and it was so.

And God saw every thing that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And it was evening and it was morning, the sixth day.
