Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth.
NEL principio Iddio creò il cielo e la terra.
2 But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved over the water.
E la terra era una cosa deserta e vacua; e tenebre [erano] sopra la faccia dell'abisso. E lo Spirito di Dio si moveva sopra la faccia delle acque.
3 And God said, Let there be light, and there was light.
E Iddio disse: Sia la luce. E la luce fu.
4 And God saw the light that it was good, and God divided between the light and the darkness.
E Iddio vide che la luce [era] buona. E Iddio separò la luce dalle tenebre.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night, and there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
E Iddio nominò la luce Giorno, e le tenebre Notte. Così fu sera, e [poi] fu mattina, [che fu] il primo giorno.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the water, and let it be a division between water and water, and it was so.
Poi Iddio disse: Siavi una distesa tra le acque, la quale separi le acque dalle acque.
7 And God made the firmament, and God divided between the water which was under the firmament and the water which was above the firmament.
E Iddio fece quella distesa: e separò le acque che [son] disotto alla distesa, da quelle che [son] disopra d'essa. E così fu.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven, and God saw that it was good, and there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
E Iddio nominò la distesa Cielo. Così fu sera, e [poi] fu mattina, [che fu] il secondo giorno.
9 And God said, Let the water which is under the heaven be collected into one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And the water which was under the heaven was collected into its places, and the dry land appeared.
Poi Iddio disse: Sieno tutte le acque, [che son] sotto al cielo, raccolte in un luogo, ed apparisca l'asciutto. E così fu.
10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters he called Seas, and God saw that it was good.
E Iddio nominò l'asciutto Terra, e la raccolta delle acque Mari. E Iddio vide che [ciò era] buono.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit-tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and it was so.
Poi Iddio disse: Produca la terra erba minuta, erbe che facciano seme, ed alberi fruttiferi che portino frutto, secondo le loro specie; il cui seme [sia] in esso, sopra la terra. E così fu.
12 And the earth brought forth the herb of grass bearing seed according to its kind and according to its likeness, and the fruit tree bearing fruit whose seed is in it, according to its kind on the earth, and God saw that it was good.
La terra adunque produsse erba minuta, erbe che fanno seme, secondo le loro specie, ed alberi che portano frutto, il cui seme [è] in esso, secondo le loro specie. E Iddio vide che [ciò era] buono.
13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
Così fu sera, e [poi] fu mattina, [che fu] il terzo giorno.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, to divide between day and night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and for years.
Poi Iddio disse: Sienvi de' luminari nella distesa del cielo, per far distinzione tra il giorno e la notte: e quelli sieno per segni, e per [distinguer] le stagioni e i giorni e gli anni.
15 And let them be for light in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth, and it was so.
E sieno per luminari nella distesa del cielo, per recar la luce in su la terra. E così fu.
16 And God made the two great lights, the greater light for regulating the day and the lesser light for regulating the night, the stars also.
Iddio adunque fece i due gran luminari (il maggiore per avere il reggimento del giorno, e il minore per avere il reggimento della notte), e le stelle.
17 And God placed them in the firmament of the heaven, so as to shine upon the earth,
E Iddio li mise nella distesa del cielo, per recar la luce sopra la terra,
18 and to regulate day and night, and to divide between the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
e per avere il reggimento del giorno e della notte, e per separar la luce dalle tenebre. E Iddio vide che [ciò era] buono.
19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
Così fu sera, e [poi] fu mattina, [che fu] il quarto giorno.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth reptiles having life, and winged creatures flying above the earth in the firmament of heaven, and it was so.
Poi Iddio disse: Producano le acque copiosamente rettili, [che sieno] animali viventi; e volino gli uccelli sopra la terra, e per la distesa del cielo.
21 And God made great whales, and every living reptile, which the waters brought forth according to their kinds, and every creature that flies with wings according to its kind, and God saw that they were good.
Iddio adunque creò le grandi balene, ed ogni animal vivente che va serpendo; i quali animali le acque produssero copiosamente, secondo le loro specie; ed ogni [sorta di] uccelli che [hanno] ale, secondo le loro specie. E Iddio vide che [ciò era] buono.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let the creatures that fly be multiplied on the earth.
E Iddio li benedisse, dicendo: Figliate, moltiplicate, ed empiete le acque ne' mari; moltiplichino parimente gli uccelli sulla terra.
23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
Così fu sera, e [poi] fu mattina, [che fu] il quinto giorno.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind, quadrupeds and reptiles and wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and it was so.
Poi Iddio disse: Produca la terra animali viventi, secondo le loro specie; bestie domestiche, rettili e fiere della terra, secondo le loro specie. E così fu.
25 And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their kind, and cattle according to their kind, and all the reptiles of the earth according to their kind, and God saw that they were good.
Iddio adunque fece le fiere della terra, secondo le loro specie; e gli animali domestici, secondo le loro specie; ed ogni [sorta di] rettili della terra, secondo le loro specie. E Iddio vide che [ciò era] buono.
26 And God said, Let us make man according to our image and likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of heaven, and over the cattle and all the earth, and over all the reptiles that creep on the earth.
Poi Iddio disse: Facciamo l'uomo alla nostra immagine, secondo la nostra somiglianza; ed abbia la signoria sopra i pesci del mare, e sopra gli uccelli del cielo, e sopra le bestie, e sopra tutta la terra, e sopra ogni rettile che serpe sopra la terra.
27 And God made man, according to the image of God he made him, male and female he made them.
Iddio adunque creò l'uomo alla sua immagine; egli lo creò all'immagine di Dio; egli li creò maschio e femmina.
28 And God blessed them, saying, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the seas and flying creatures of heaven, and all the cattle and all the earth, and all the reptiles that creep on the earth.
E Iddio li benedisse, e disse loro: Fruttate e moltiplicate, ed empiete la terra, e rendetevela soggetta, e signoreggiate sopra i pesci del mare, e sopra gli uccelli del cielo, e sopra ogni bestia che cammina sopra la terra.
29 And God said, Behold I have given to you every seed-bearing herb sowing seed which is upon all the earth, and every tree which has in itself the fruit of seed that is sown, to you it shall be for food.
Oltre a ciò, Iddio disse: Ecco, io vi do tutte l'erbe che producono seme, che son sopra tutta la terra; e tutti gli alberi fruttiferi che fanno seme. [Queste cose] vi saranno per cibo.
30 And to all the wild beasts of the earth, and to all the flying creatures of heaven, and to every reptile creeping on the earth, which has in itself the breath of life, even every green plant for food; and it was so.
Ma a tutte le bestie della terra, ed a tutti gli uccelli del cielo, ed a tutti gli animali che serpono sopra la terra, ne' quali è anima vivente, [io do] ogni erba verde per mangiarla. E così fu.
31 And God saw all the things that he had made, and, behold, they were very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
E Iddio vide tutto quello ch'egli avea fatto; ed ecco, [era] molto buono. Così fu sera, e [poi] fu mattina, [che fu] il sesto giorno.
