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.
The earth was without form and empty. Darkness was upon the surface of the deep. The Spirit of God was moving above the surface of the waters.
3 I reèe Bog: neka bude svjetlost. I bi svjetlost.
God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4 I vidje Bog svjetlost da je dobra; i rastavi Bog svjetlost od tame.
God saw the light, that it was good. He divided the light from the darkness.
5 I svjetlost nazva Bog dan, a tamu nazva noæ. I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan prvi.
God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” This was evening and morning, the first day.
6 Potom reèe Bog: neka bude svod posred vode, da rastavlja vodu od vode.
God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”
7 I stvori Bog svod, i rastavi vodu pod svodom od vode nad svodom; i bi tako.
God made the expanse and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse. It was so.
8 A svod nazva Bog nebo. I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan drugi.
God called the expanse “sky.” This was evening and morning, the 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.
God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear.” It was so.
10 I suho nazva Bog zemlja, a zborišta vodena nazva mora; i vidje Bog da je dobro.
God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” He 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.
God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation: plants yielding seed and fruit trees bearing fruit whose seed is in the fruit, each according to its own kind.” 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.
The earth produced vegetation, plants producing seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit whose seed was in it, after their kind. God saw that it was good.
13 I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan treæi.
This was evening and morning, the 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;
God said, “Let there be lights in the sky to divide the day from the night and let them be as signs, for seasons, for days and years.
15 I neka svijetle na svodu nebeskom, da obasjavaju zemlju. I bi tako.
Let them be lights in the sky to give light upon the earth.” It was so.
16 I stvori Bog dva vidjela velika: vidjelo veæe da upravlja danom, i vidjelo manje da upravlja noæu, i zvijezde.
God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.
17 I postavi ih Bog na svodu nebeskom da obasjavaju zemlju.
God set them in the sky to give light upon the earth,
18 I da upravljaju danom i noæu, i da dijele svjetlost od tame. I vidje Bog da je dobro.
to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good.
19 I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan èetvrti.
This was evening and morning, the fourth day.
20 Potom reèe Bog: neka vrve po vodi žive duše, i ptice neka lete iznad zemlje pod svod nebeski.
God said, “Let the waters be filled with great numbers of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the expanse of the sky.”
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;
God created the great sea creatures, as well as every living creature after its kind, creatures that move and which fill the waters everywhere, and every winged bird after its kind. 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.
God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas. Let birds multiply on the earth.”
23 I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan peti.
This was evening and morning, the 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.
God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures, each according to its own kind, livestock, creeping things, and beasts of the earth, each according to its own kind.” 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.
God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, the livestock after their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the ground after its kind. He 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.
God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 I stvori Bog èovjeka po oblièju svojemu, po oblièju Božijemu stvori ga; muško i žensko stvori ih.
God created man in his own image. In his own 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.
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful, and multiply. Fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves upon 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.
God said, “See, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the surface of all the earth, and every tree with fruit which has seed in it. They will be food to you.
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.
To every beast of the earth, to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creeps upon the earth, and to every creature that has the breath of life I have given every green plant for food.” It was so.
31 Tada pogleda Bog sve što je stvorio, i gle, dobro bješe veoma. I bi veèe i bi jutro, dan šesti.
God saw everything that he had made. Behold, it was very good. This was evening and morning, the sixth day.
