創世記 1
1 元始に神天地を創造たまへり
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 地は定形なく曠空くして黒暗淵の面にあり神の靈水の面を覆たりき
Now the earth was formless and empty, and darkness was on the surface of the watery depths. And God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.
3 神光あれと言たまひければ光ありき
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
4 神光を善と觀たまへり神光と暗を分ちたまへり
And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness.
5 神光を晝と名け暗を夜と名けたまへり夕あり朝ありき是首の日なり
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. There was evening and there was morning, one day.
6 神言たまひけるは水の中に穹蒼ありて水と水とを分つべし
And God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." And it was so.
7 神穹蒼を作りて穹蒼の下の水と穹蒼の上の水とを判ちたまへり即ち斯なりぬ
And God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse.
8 神穹蒼を天と名けたまへり夕あり朝ありき是二日なり
And God called the expanse Sky. And God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 神言たまひけるは天の下の水は一處に集りて乾ける土顯べしと即ち斯なりぬ
And God said, "Let the waters under the sky be gathered to one gathering, and let the dry land appear." And it was so. And the waters under the sky gathered to their gatherings, and the dry land appeared.
10 神乾ける土を地と名け水の集合るを海と名けたまへり神之を善と觀たまへり
And God called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11 神言たまひけるは地は青草と實蓏を生ずる草蔬と其類に從ひ果を結びみづから核をもつ所の果を結ぶ樹を地に發出すべしと即ち斯なりぬ
And God said, "Let the earth produce vegetation, plants yielding seed after its kind, and fruit trees bearing fruit with seed in it after its kind, on the earth." And it was so.
12 地青草と其類に從ひ實蓏を生ずる草蔬と其類に從ひ果を結てみづから核をもつ所の樹を發出せり神これを善と觀たまへり
And the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after its kind, and fruit trees bearing fruit with seed in it after its kind, on the earth. And God saw that it was good.
13 夕あり朝ありき是三日なり
There was evening and there was morning, a third day.
14 神言たまひけるは天の穹蒼に光明ありて晝と夜とを分ち又天象のため時節のため日のため年のために成べし
And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky for the illumination of the day, to give light on the earth, and to rule the day and the night, and to separate between the day and the night. And let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and for years;
15 又天の穹蒼にありて地を照す光となるべしと即ち斯なりぬ
and let them be for lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so.
16 神二の巨なる光を造り大なる光に晝を司どらしめ小き光に夜を司どらしめたまふまた星を造りたまへり
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 神これを天の穹蒼に置て地を照さしめ
And God set them in the expanse of the sky to shine on the earth,
18 晝と夜を司どらしめ光と暗を分たしめたまふ神これを善と觀たまへり
and to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 夕あり朝ありき是四日なり
There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 神云ひたまひけるは水には生物饒に生じ鳥は天の穹蒼の面に地の上に飛べしと
And God said, "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let flying creatures fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky." And it was so.
21 神巨なる魚と水に饒に生じて動く諸の生物を其類に從ひて創造り又羽翼ある諸の鳥を其類に從ひて創造りたまへり神之を善と觀たまへり
And God created the large sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after its kind, and every winged flying creature after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 神之を祝して曰く生よ繁息よ海の水に充牣よ又禽鳥は地に蕃息よと
And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the flying creatures multiply on the earth."
23 夕あり朝ありき是五日なり
There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 神言給ひけるは地は生物を其類に從て出し家畜と昆蟲と地の獸を其類に從て出すべしと即ち斯なりぬ
And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after its kind: tame animals, and crawling creatures, and wild animals of the earth after its kind." And it was so.
25 神地の獸を其類に從て造り家畜を其類に從て造り地の諸の昆蟲を其類に從て造り給へり神之を善と觀給へり
And God made the wild animals of the earth after its kind, and the tame animals after its kind, and everything that crawls on the ground after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 神言給けるは我儕に象りて我儕の像の如くに我儕人を造り之に海の魚と天空の鳥と家畜と全地と地に匍ふ所の諸の昆蟲を治めんと
And God said, "Let us make humankind in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of the sky, and over the tame animals, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creature that crawls on the earth." And it was so.
27 神其像の如くに人を創造たまへり即ち神の像の如くに之を創造之を男と女に創造たまへり
And God created humankind in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.
28 神彼等を祝し神彼等に言たまひけるは生よ蕃殖よ地に滿盈よ之を服從せよ又海の魚と天空の鳥と地に動く所の諸の生物を治めよ
And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the flying creatures of the sky, and over all the tame animals, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over all the creatures that crawl on the earth."
29 神言たまひけるは視よ我全地の面にある實蓏のなる諸の草蔬と核ある木果の結る諸の樹とを汝等に與ふこれは汝らの糧となるべし
And God said, "Look, I have given you every plant 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 又地の諸の獸と天空の諸の鳥および地に匍ふ諸の物等凡そ生命ある者には我食物として諸の青き草を與ふと即ち斯なりぬ
And to every wild animal of the earth, and to every tame animal of the earth, and to every flying creature of the sky, and to every creature that crawls on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green plant for food."
31 神其造りたる諸の物を視たまひけるに甚だ善りき夕あり朝ありき是六日なり
And God saw everything that he had made, and look, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
