Postanak 1
1 U poèetku stvori Bog nebo i zemlju.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 A zemlja bješe bez oblièja i pusta, i bješe tama nad bezdanom; i duh Božji dizaše se nad vodom.
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 I reèe Bog: neka bude svjetlost. I bi svjetlost.
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
4 I vidje Bog svjetlost da je dobra; i rastavi Bog svjetlost od tame.
And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness.
5 I svjetlost nazva Bog dan, a tamu nazva noæ. I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan prvi.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. There was evening and there was morning, one day.
6 Potom reèe Bog: neka bude svod posred vode, da rastavlja vodu od vode.
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 I stvori Bog svod, i rastavi vodu pod svodom od vode nad svodom; i bi tako.
And God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse.
8 A svod nazva Bog nebo. I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan drugi.
And God called the expanse Sky. And God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 Potom reèe Bog: neka se sabere voda što je pod nebom na jedno mjesto, i neka se pokaže suho. I bi tako.
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 I suho nazva Bog zemlja, a zborišta vodena nazva mora; i vidje Bog da je dobro.
And God called the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of the waters he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11 Opet reèe Bog: neka pusti zemlja iz sebe travu, bilje, što nosi sjeme, i drvo rodno, koje raða rod po svojim vrstama, u kojem æe biti sjeme njegovo na zemlji. I bi tako.
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 I pusti zemlja iz sebe travu, bilje, što nosi sjeme po svojim vrstama, i drvo, koje raða rod, u kojem je sjeme njegovo po njegovijem vrstama. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
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 I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan treæi.
There was evening and there was morning, a third day.
14 Potom reèe Bog: neka budu vidjela na svodu nebeskom, da dijele dan i noæ, da budu znaci vremenima i danima i godinama;
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 I neka svijetle na svodu nebeskom, da obasjavaju zemlju. I bi tako.
and let them be for lights in the expanse of the sky to shine on the earth." And it was so.
16 I stvori Bog dva vidjela velika: vidjelo veæe da upravlja danom, i vidjelo manje da upravlja noæu, i zvijezde.
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 I postavi ih Bog na svodu nebeskom da obasjavaju zemlju.
And God set them in the expanse of the sky to shine on the earth,
18 I da upravljaju danom i noæu, i da dijele svjetlost od tame. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan èetvrti.
There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 Potom reèe Bog: neka vrve po vodi žive duše, i ptice neka lete iznad zemlje pod svod nebeski.
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 I stvori Bog kitove velike i sve žive duše što se mièu, što provrvješe po vodi po vrstama svojim, i sve ptice krilate po vrstama njihovijem. I vidje Bog da je dobro;
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 I blagoslovi ih Bog govoreæi: raðajte se i množite se, i napunite vodu po morima, i ptice neka se množe na zemlji.
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 I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan peti.
There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 Potom reèe Bog: neka zemlja pusti iz sebe duše žive po vrstama njihovijem, stoku i sitne životinje i zvijeri zemaljske po vrstama njihovijem. I bi tako.
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 I stvori Bog zvijeri zemaljske po vrstama njihovijem, i stoku po vrstama njezinijem, i sve sitne životinje na zemlji po vrstama njihovijem. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
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 Potom reèe Bog: da naèinimo èovjeka po svojemu oblièju, kao što smo mi, koji æe biti gospodar od riba morskih i od ptica nebeskih i od stoke i od cijele zemlje i od svijeh životinja što se mièu po zemlji.
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 I stvori Bog èovjeka po oblièju svojemu, po oblièju Božijemu stvori ga; muško i žensko stvori ih.
And God created humankind in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.
28 I blagoslovi ih Bog, i reèe im Bog: raðajte se i množite se, i napunite zemlju, i vladajte njom, i budite gospodari od riba morskih i od ptica nebeskih i od svega zvjerinja što se mièe po zemlji.
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 I još reèe Bog: evo, dao sam vam sve bilje što nosi sjeme po svoj zemlji, i sva drveta rodna koja nose sjeme; to æe vam biti za hranu.
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 A svjemu zvjerinju zemaljskom i svjema pticama nebeskim i svjemu što se mièe na zemlji i u èem ima duša živa, dao sam svu travu da jedu. I bi tako.
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 Tada pogleda Bog sve što je stvorio, i gle, dobro bješe veoma. I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan šesti.
And God saw everything that he had made, and look, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
