Genesis 1
1 in principio creavit Deus caelum et terram
In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth —
2 terra autem erat inanis et vacua et tenebrae super faciem abyssi et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas
the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness [is] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the face of the waters,
3 dixitque Deus fiat lux et facta est lux
and God saith, 'Let light be;' and light is.
4 et vidit Deus lucem quod esset bona et divisit lucem ac tenebras
And God seeth the light that [it is] good, and God separateth between the light and the darkness,
5 appellavitque lucem diem et tenebras noctem factumque est vespere et mane dies unus
and God calleth to the light 'Day,' and to the darkness He hath called 'Night;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day one.
6 dixit quoque Deus fiat firmamentum in medio aquarum et dividat aquas ab aquis
And God saith, 'Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.'
7 et fecit Deus firmamentum divisitque aquas quae erant sub firmamento ab his quae erant super firmamentum et factum est ita
And God maketh the expanse, and it separateth between the waters which [are] under the expanse, and the waters which [are] above the expanse: and it is so.
8 vocavitque Deus firmamentum caelum et factum est vespere et mane dies secundus
And God calleth to the expanse 'Heavens;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day second.
9 dixit vero Deus congregentur aquae quae sub caelo sunt in locum unum et appareat arida factumque est ita
And God saith, 'Let the waters under the heavens be collected unto one place, and let the dry land be seen:' and it is so.
10 et vocavit Deus aridam terram congregationesque aquarum appellavit maria et vidit Deus quod esset bonum
And God calleth to the dry land 'Earth,' and to the collection of the waters He hath called 'Seas;' and God seeth that [it is] good.
11 et ait germinet terra herbam virentem et facientem semen et lignum pomiferum faciens fructum iuxta genus suum cuius semen in semet ipso sit super terram et factum est ita
And God saith, 'Let the earth yield tender grass, herb sowing seed, fruit-tree (whose seed [is] in itself) making fruit after its kind, on the earth:' and it is so.
12 et protulit terra herbam virentem et adferentem semen iuxta genus suum lignumque faciens fructum et habens unumquodque sementem secundum speciem suam et vidit Deus quod esset bonum
And the earth bringeth forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed [is] in itself) after its kind; and God seeth that [it is] good;
13 factumque est vespere et mane dies tertius
and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day third.
14 dixit autem Deus fiant luminaria in firmamento caeli ut dividant diem ac noctem et sint in signa et tempora et dies et annos
And God saith, 'Let luminaries be in the expanse of the heavens, to make a separation between the day and the night, then they have been for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years,
15 ut luceant in firmamento caeli et inluminent terram et factum est ita
and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth:' and it is so.
16 fecitque Deus duo magna luminaria luminare maius ut praeesset diei et luminare minus ut praeesset nocti et stellas
And God maketh the two great luminaries, the great luminary for the rule of the day, and the small luminary — and the stars — for the rule of the night;
17 et posuit eas in firmamento caeli ut lucerent super terram
and God giveth them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth,
18 et praeessent diei ac nocti et dividerent lucem ac tenebras et vidit Deus quod esset bonum
and to rule over day and over night, and to make a separation between the light and the darkness; and God seeth that [it is] good;
19 et factum est vespere et mane dies quartus
and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day fourth.
20 dixit etiam Deus producant aquae reptile animae viventis et volatile super terram sub firmamento caeli
And God saith, 'Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature, and fowl let fly on the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.'
21 creavitque Deus cete grandia et omnem animam viventem atque motabilem quam produxerant aquae in species suas et omne volatile secundum genus suum et vidit Deus quod esset bonum
And God prepareth the great monsters, and every living creature that is creeping, which the waters have teemed with, after their kind, and every fowl with wing, after its kind, and God seeth that [it is] good.
22 benedixitque eis dicens crescite et multiplicamini et replete aquas maris avesque multiplicentur super terram
And God blesseth them, saying, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and the fowl let multiply in the earth:'
23 et factum est vespere et mane dies quintus
and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day fifth.
24 dixit quoque Deus producat terra animam viventem in genere suo iumenta et reptilia et bestias terrae secundum species suas factumque est ita
And God saith, 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind:' and it is so.
25 et fecit Deus bestias terrae iuxta species suas et iumenta et omne reptile terrae in genere suo et vidit Deus quod esset bonum
And God maketh the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, and God seeth that [it is] good.
26 et ait faciamus hominem ad imaginem et similitudinem nostram et praesit piscibus maris et volatilibus caeli et bestiis universaeque terrae omnique reptili quod movetur in terra
And God saith, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.'
27 et creavit Deus hominem ad imaginem suam ad imaginem Dei creavit illum masculum et feminam creavit eos
And God prepareth the man in His image; in the image of God He prepared him, a male and a female He prepared them.
28 benedixitque illis Deus et ait crescite et multiplicamini et replete terram et subicite eam et dominamini piscibus maris et volatilibus caeli et universis animantibus quae moventur super terram
And God blesseth them, and God saith to them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping upon the earth.'
29 dixitque Deus ecce dedi vobis omnem herbam adferentem semen super terram et universa ligna quae habent in semet ipsis sementem generis sui ut sint vobis in escam
And God saith, 'Lo, I have given to you every herb sowing seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which [is] the fruit of a tree sowing seed, to you it is for food;
30 et cunctis animantibus terrae omnique volucri caeli et universis quae moventur in terra et in quibus est anima vivens ut habeant ad vescendum et factum est ita
and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to every creeping thing on the earth, in which [is] breath of life, every green herb [is] for food:' and it is so.
31 viditque Deus cuncta quae fecit et erant valde bona et factum est vespere et mane dies sextus
And God seeth all that He hath done, and lo, very good; and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day the sixth.
